Hi Marshall:
In fact, the one I'm using is Ken Trester's Option Master, as I previously
posted to the group.
Again, here's the website:
http://www.investorsoftware.com/products/2919.HTM
I find this software quite inexpensive and it serves my purpose.
On the other hand, I had occasion to discuss the calculated theoretical
values of the calls/leaps with my broker, TD Waterhouse, because I felt the
options at the time of discussion should be higher (per the theoretical
value of the option as calculated by Option Masters). Their answer (more
or less): "Large institutions use option valuation software that cost
thousands, or tens of thousands, of dollars, to calculate theoretical
value. Your software costs only $100. What do you expect? ..."
In any event, I'm quite satisfied with this software.
To me, the virtue of underpriced options is only one of the elements that I
consider when doing a trade...
Regards,
Wong
