    Vertical spread vs underlying, p/l calculation

    thanks OC, Is there much difference to the distance the underlying must move to hit max profit whether the entry of the vertical spread optoins were both OTM, ITM, or 1 ITM and 1 OTM? Before expiration, that is.

    "Those That Can, Do. Those That Can't, Teach."

    I think it's because the school has a limited budget on wages for the professors. It's sad how much dumb money'll turn out as the result of these classes.

    "Those That Can, Do. Those That Can't, Teach."

    My professor of finance is a total jackoff. First day of class- (paraphrasing) "I had pumped dumb money into the New Zealand stock market and lost it all in the crash of 87; as I lost money, therefore the markets are completely unpredictable and risky. Now this is how you value stocks... "

    Is there a solution for Economic Inequality?

    You're just making excuses for those who aren't smart, diligent, or solution-oriented enough to take the course of action with a higher probability of survival. Hell they all could've taken the freaking public transits or simply run out of there before the storm hit. But no, most of them decided...

    Credit Spreads, getting assigned too "early"?

    Sorry for the newbie question. Does anyone know of a way to manage unexpected assignments before the spread reaches either end of the targets? The guy at Optionetics insists that as long as you exit before the last 30 days, there's no real reason for anyone to exercise the written call/put...
