Ken,

By that trade, I assume that you believe that we have seen the bulk of this downside move in NASDAQ?

Regards,

Dave

Ken,

Just curious about the AMD LEAP spread, did you put the order in as a spread or did you do the legs separately?

Tim

P.S. I'm keeping an eye out on CEGE. I want to sell some puts, but the BTK looking iffy.

Just did bull LEAPS call spread on AMD.
Bought Jan02 10 ; Sold Jan02 20 ; $5 debit.

...

Entered as a spread with a limit- online.


Never did spreads. I assume you do this rather than a covered call because it requires less capital. How do you decide on the price limit? Take 50% of each spread or something like that? How do other people price trades like this one?

Thanks,
Dave
