Thanks for your informative reply. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I do get the impression that, when it comes to spreads and presumably other combinations with an expected relatively long holding period, price-modeling on options is (much?) more significant to you than when you're using ATM or ITM puts or calls as a proxy, surrogate, or virtual stop (overnight protection - you could call it a prophylactic option). In th latter instances, I'm guessing that, unless you encounter something totally out of whack, you'll give priority to the rationale for the trade rather than to complex price parameters. I agree that daytrading of options might increase in popularity, partly as a result of increasing sophistication on the part of those on-line traders whose interest and accounts have survived the last year's ups and downs, and especially if, as some believe, the recent decline in volatility of Nasdaq stocks in particular is likely to persist.
