Thoughts on ITM calender calls

Quote from MTE:

You make it sound really complicated, when in fact, a bearish calendar spread is simply a calendar spread with the strike price below the current stock price.

Is it possible that 2 people out of everyone here could be right? What are the odds???

You could really distort the odds by setting up some bogus handles. I know a poor factory worker over on Yahoo who'd be willing to help you out!

ET participants must be rushing in droves to hire you as a mentor.

Retiring again? I've heard that from you so many times that I feel like Linda Blair (head spinning)
 
Quote from acen1975:

yes,at first look they are the same.....syntetics......but if you look deeper,there will be for sure a difference....because of the volatility change.
OTM put callendar will gain more than the ITM call during the fall,because most of the time with a fall volat. rises and will apriciate the OTM spread more,than the ITM......till the the fall gets to the strike of the spread.


Here you go:

Trade as of Aug 27: SPY at 103.40; VIX at 24.7 Calendars struck at 100. ATM Sep vol 20.4

Bearish move by Sep 2: SPY at 99.82; VIX at 28. ATM Sep vol 24.4
