I guessed it was a double entendre' about the putter. Are you saying E-Trade won't even let you put on a spread? When it comes to stocks I follow a newsletter by Gene Inger which is available for something like $159 a quarter over the internet. He was long TXN from last Spring or so and warned last August, I think it was, to lighten up and perhaps pick up some in the $80 range. He's been fairly good with Tech stocks....noting quite some time ago that INTC & DELL would be available at/below $70 and he was right. He had a few others like this. An odd 'short' was MSFT. One reason is because he believes Microsoft would actually like their stock to be lower. This is because they lure talent with stock options and if people think the stock is fully valued they lose an edge in hiring. Imagine that. True or not, he has been hot since the Springtime.
