(Keeping my fingers crossed on CSCO, didn't like Fridays 2.5 point drop on volume, my wildest dream is for CSCO to be at 115 by the split, think it's possible??)
I feel the same way! I have aug 100 calls at a very high 3 3/4 and I have not enjoyed the moves lately. If next week does not show some kind of upward momentum I may be screwed. What is your position?

Hi All!

I'm looking for an options trading strategy for Options day this month. Aug. 100 puts seem nicely priced at 4 1/2 a pop. Would anyone thing that selling Aug. 100 puts would be a good strategy. Could be worth $400.00 per contract.

If you do a maximum pain analysis, the largest OI is at the $100 mark for the calls, which, makes it likely that CSCO will converge on $100.00.

If memory serves, Csco's last 3:2 split was effective around Dec 17, 1997. CSCO tanked in early Dec 97 from 90 to 72. It was about 80 on Dec 17, split 3:2 (to 53), it ran up from 53 to 62+ in January.

Do you remember this and is this typical run-up behavior in the wake of a csco split?

Ciao,

Daniel
