What is your argument for taking two transaction so achieve what you can do in one transaction- simply buying the call!
Surprise, the $30 Call can be bought as of close today at $.37.
I'm sorry I must have misunderstood the tone of this comment. My bad.

Ok wrong guess.....Would you agree you are more experienced than your average option trader, and have capitol access that most don't have? Or am I wrong again?
You're mostly wrong again.
I have pretty good insight, so I've gotten a lot of learning from what I suspect is about an average level of experience.
I don't know what kind of capitol access I have. I wasn't responsible for burning it down in 1814 or anything, though some have suggested otherwise. I probably couldn't get special access, since I can't get my hands on huge stacks of money.

Don't forget the add the cost of carrying the stock.
It's embedded as a discount on the put. The only added costs are commish, edge, and perhaps an increase in haircut. Do the synthetic if you're expecting a large drop in STIR or a surprise dividend increase. I would assume edge-loss would outweigh any benefit from rate/dividend forecasting. In other words, just go ahead and buy the natural call.
