Busy day...possible reverse calendars for today : EBAY , QLGC , AVCT, HTCH. Also looking to go long on ADTN (1/24) Feb 30 straddle.

Mo*2 , thanks Cashe , INTC and IBM were not a good candidates for this type of trade(price away from the strike , not inflated Feb vols and credit < 40 cents)

not is this case ; if I buy and stock goes down ,its will be a loss

down 12% after close , if price stay < 35.5 , profit will be 50-65 cents on this trade .

should be : sold 40 FEB call , and not put

took reverse calendar on YHOO : bought 40 Jan call (1.30) sold 40 Feb put (2.00) ratio 1:1 Very low (almost none) risk , but also limited possible gain . Feb vols will collapse to mid-high 20th tomorrow

bought FFIV (1/19) Jan 55p=1.20 Jan 60c=1.60 ratio is 3:4

B , more of the same...

CVTX (paper trade only , too many unknown) FDA hearing on 1/27 . Feb vols at 85 , but at previous FDA event vols reached 120. Buy CVTX (24.70) Sell Jan 25c (0.45) Buy Feb 25p(2.85) At Jan exp close the cover call and buy FEB 25c . Hopefully in the next four days stock won't move...

do you know a lot of people in mideast ? Maybe they are doing what you are doing there

Hopefully , I will have a reverse calendar next week: long Jan put ,atm short Feb put ,atm betting on big stock move and collapse in Feb vols

this stock is in my universe , they posted report date yesterday after close and I bought the combo first thing in the morning

it's kind of journal ... I guess . I don't see much interest from other posters on this subject. Anyway , I will post more trades for the next week. All report/IV related and NON directional

yes , both are up big (without any change iin stock's price) Actually , its much higher now (1.10 for a call and 1.00 for a put) , I close to early , but one never knows...

right , no earnings surprise here , but they still will pump it to 45 vols (and high 20th on the morning after). Anyway , I don't want to be on the other side of your trade
