That's why spreads are so appealing. Now when puts premiums are not higher (as usual) -- it is a bearish sign, right Jim? People are paying a "premium" to buy calls. I don't care if the premiums expand on both sides, but if the usually higher time value is not there on the puts -- it can be an indicator of sentiment. Perhaps a bear call spread is in order. I'm going to size this up as soon as I get time. Got to get another broker who will let me do spreads.
