rjg...I did several 15pt spreads and it did give the flexibility to roll up but remember you will need to keep margin in reserve in case you need to roll, it is also much more expensive (obviously) to close than just a 5 pt spread....and I would think twice before selling the 1310 with almost 5...

Thanks...was certainly rooting for him...hopefully he is incognito at a big hedge fund:D

They certainly were...I did so much better with CC back then:) the past two years call prem's dried up....and again your correct if that range starts to suddenly expand watch out!

Reading coach's cef thread and looking at the cefa.com link provided read a very interesting stat Average absolute monthly change in the s&p 500 2001....4.3 2002....4.0 2003....4.5 2004....2.1 2005....2.1 (to date) thoughts? I guess thats why OTM IC's are working this year....
