>>had I did the spread selling calls and buying puts late Friday.<< That's not a spread -- it is called synthetic short. It isn't a bullish position. I don't understand why you would do this if you thought MSFT was a buy. Maybe you meant the opposite -- selling puts and buying calls? That would be synthetic long. Spreads usually mean selling and buying options of the same type (just calls or just puts) at different strikes. Are you still bullish on MSFT and why?
