There are two option applications which, in my opinion, provide exceptional
value for the price: Options Laboratory and Reeally! from Mantic software
(www.manticsoft.com).
The former program does a fantastic job of deeply analyzing combinations
and spreads, while the latter is a comprehensive portfolio return analysis
package (favorably reviewed in Barrons twice), which can find and evaluate
covered call and split synthetic stock positions.
If you don't know what a split synthetic is, you are missing out on one of
the
truly great options strategies.
Check them out - Mantic provides a 30 day free trial.

Tim Tillson
