James C. Mc Gowan....about straddles and strangles....you guys don't have it quite right....A straddle is when you buy an equal number of puts and call options at the same strike price and maturity date. A strangle is when you buy a put and call option on the same underlying instrument at strike prices equally out of the money. A strangle cost less because its out of the money....its the same basic strategy.....the hope is that the underlying instrument will move dramatically one way or the other.
