    @ $20 Expectation = .98(20) - .01(480) - .01(240) = 19.6 - 4.8 - 2.4 = 12.4 Still positive but not worth the risk. I won't take it for less than $50

    Of course the long leg of the spread DOES protect you. I wrote that caution because the strike involved is so high. I rarely get involved with stocks like AAPL because of the high strikes. IF AAPL should descend past your short strike, and does not descend to your long strike, AND you are...

    Low Implied Volatility: Looking for trades for the week and coming up empty. (Except for the stupid AAPL trade above) e.g. In 2012 I sold the 17.50 CWT put three times, each time with 4 months worth of theta on it, for $80, $60 and $100...

    Super-newb Question
