Well, this stuff is rare and weird, so it can be eliminated at any time. Folks love free money that pays 20% a month. I understand. -g- Something must not be right, so I'll try and see if I can do it. Take INTC, for example 15.65 close $1 for 15 calls, giving 35c time premium for the calls. 31c for 15 puts, giving 31c time premium for the puts. The two ways to buy a put are equivalent within margin of error, as they should be. You can't possibly make money on that trade risk free, but the Market Maker does, making money on spreads and commissions.
