Is it the same (Selling Puts=Selling Calls)? and one contract = 100. Sounds like a good suggestion if I weren't confused about how to execute the strategy... He He (Oh the price I pay for ignorance) Anyway thanks for your suggestions if you care to respond further. By the way .. If you have been following the postings by jorge...

Steves profections for CPQ is 70 by Jan 31st so your strategy looks workable in either case.
