Lisa, I am not at all upset, but I firmly believe the calculations for calls and put prices are very very similar, and you seem to think that I lack the understanding or somthing.. I am cool with that.. And I will get the actual formula so you can see it.. I dont make assumptions from thin air, that would be like playing roulette, I like craps...lol And if the formulae are similar all you need to do is factor in demand/supply and sigma, and your set.. And I do think calls are used more, they are demanded more and usually priced to reflect that.. Here: CPQ call: MAR 30 1 1/8 6325 CPQ Put: MAR 30 1 3/8 6388, identical trading... and the 30 put is 3/8 in the money and it is only priced 1/4 better... and we know that there is likely heavy putting on a day like today.. I am sure you get my drift... I will have it later on.. others might want to see the formula too, so it isnt to rub anything... really.. you know I am above that...
