cheap MSFT synthetic 30 call for March

hajimow · Feb 19, 2008

only 30.30. You might only lose 30 cents with a huge profit. Risk reward ratio sounds excellent.

wait till HPQ announces earnings to take that trade on...

This morning it was 30.50. I think if the news is good, it will go to 30.80 range.

Thanks for bringing up my last prediction. In that post I mentioned the chance is low. I also put a limit of $100. I did not mention to jump in with both feet.
Again in my current post I mentioned the risk is 30 cents per share. Not more. The reward is very high.

OK, I'll bite. Why the synthetic call over the natural?

Synthetic call= Buy the stock and also buy put
Synthetic call 30 March = Buy MSFT stock and buy PUT 30 March

Because we are here to make a trade and either make money or lose money
