i bto 5c of wk IWM 79 call, $.67 went with the weekly

agree, and my first thought is if there is an am up move ahead of the meeting release, take it and close the deal.

tomorrow, wed, aug 1, is the first day of the month and also day of fed statement release, both "should" be short term positive drivers for the market. i will look at a quick spec deal, in today, out tomorrow. i am thinking a call on either TNA or IWM.

all good points that are not well understood. i have seen your posts on the other thread with cd, and agree with your point of view. for spreads, having a back up plan and the dry powder to work it, should be part of the overall plan. there is a dark side to the leverage with spreads that most...

falcon, i think you would gain a better understanding by just doing a debit or a credit spread and forget about doing anything more complicated. as i said previously, i am only concentrating on vertical credit or vertical debit, not any kind of combination, just too hard to keep up with the...

falcon, those are 2 separate trades, i just wanted to compare a similar risk debit spread with a credit spread. i have given up on considering anything except verticals, debit or credit. condors, flys, straddles, strangles, calendars, diagonals for me are just to complicated for the...

here is another aapl debit spread to consider... aapl jan(2013) 570/600 call debit spread, cost $1490, max return $1510. (101% return), 6 months

if price stays above the strikes, the spread will move towards its max value of $500 as time moves to expiry. at some time before expiry you will get maybe 90% of your max return and you could close it out. if you hold into expiry at a $600 stock price you will get the full value of the...

i did some reverse engineering of a promo-teaser email i got awhile back, few details were given but i managed to figure out the following: the stock was AAPL and the trade was put on in mar at a pps of about $600. the position was a 450/480 bull call debit spread using the apr options, bto...

falcon, lets back up a step here. you want to do debit spreads, do you have the basics down? they can be bull, with calls, or bear, with puts. to start you need a directional outlook. if bull, you buy a call and sell a higher strike call, which because it is a higher strike it is...
