Ron; RE:" straddles "

SAP was a good candidate, yesterday.

AIB - Allied Irish Banks might be a good one, too.

LU a good choice.

Wondering why you would use the SEP contracts, with such rapid decay in time values, Ron -?

I figure that the market should drop after AG talks.

Market already has a rate drop built in.

If he were to announce a rate drop today (not likely) it would be "sell the news."

If he says he will raise the rates market would fall from shock.

If he says no action in the near future then market drops from frustration.

No winners from the AG talk.

so then .. your list .. good thought, looking for stocks that right at a strike. I'm not sure that the calls are worth going after ..

But, of course, I've now posted that the market will go down .. soooo it's probably best to buy every call that you can.<g>
