okey dokey. sounds like fun.

typically, i'm options adverse. i hate being pressed for time <g> when it comes to money. it infects the trade. and w/o volatility, little happens most of the time. volatility, being an emotional movement, is difficult to predict along with the amount of time required to see it come to pass. therefore, options are mere hunches. arb-ed or not. also a reason, i'm probably not good at poker or gambling in general. none of them allow for persistance vs. the amount of capital required.

Did you manage to do it? I have decent trouble finding GM stock to borrow; thats why the prices go possibly un-arbed.

I see something other weird:

the GM stock future for June delivery is 0.95
the GM stock future for Sept delivery is 0.70

go figure; few days ago they traded as low as 0.25. Given these prices it makes sense to buy puts and sell calls then close the position with the future contract.
