Credit Spreads

Any stock/index can be a good credit spread candidate. The key is to pick the right strategy at the right time.

What kind of credit spreads are you talking about - ITM, ATM, OTM, long term, short term,....?
 
Short term, I was looking at a Citigroup Jun 05 call credit spread. Selling the 45 calls at 2.50 and buying the 47.50 at .50. Do you think this is a good credit spread?
 
Kevin,

I just looked at the chart and 48 seems to be a resistance if you thank that way than 1.95 credit is very attractive i think.

What do you use to find your spreads?

Well, if you're considering selling an 45/47.5 call vertical with the stock at 47.30 then you might as well consider buying a 45/47.5 put vertical. It is exactly the same position, with the benefit of no early assignment risk.
 
I think it's an attractive credit because of the MACD crossover, negative stochastic symbol and the downtrend. I use optionsxpress to find my spreads.
