  All in all I 
  think it's a nice strat for the current low volatile markets........just 
  wondering how lousy it may get if that VIX starts 
  climbing....
  and premiums 
  begin to soar and girate.

    Re: [RT] Re: option update
    Hello  M Simms,,
    You are correct,,  this  option position is NOT 
    for a major move up
    however lets take an example
    let just say that we close at  36  on the third 
    Fri. in  April  (highly unlikely)
    we lose  aprox  100   for each put as 
    they were bought when qqq  at 35  and another  25 cents for 
    time premiums so 175 times 125  =$21875 loss
    However   the 36 call  will be  close 
    to zero
    and the   35  Jan 2004 will be 
    up   approximately  17500
    so we get to collect all the  36 calls money  ,, 
    have an increase in the leap value
    and a loss in the put value

      Can someone 
      show the profit profile for this strategy which is basically a leveraged 
      covered call with marriaged put protection ???
      <FONT color=#0000ff

      I want to 
      know what would happen to the position if the QQQs take-off 
      northward.......would the longer-term leap make-up for the losses in the 
      put and call positions ?

        Closed positions produce income. On the 
        closed positions you said you made $8575.00. If not closed it is not 
        income. It is a hope, a dream, a possibility, an illusion, a mind 
        trip.
        You still have not clarified with your 
        one-liner. The drawdown on the April calls 
         of 2004 was $26750.00 at the time the 
        closed options generated $8575.00 in profit. You say," I am 
        forgetting the income from the calls sold". Once again, Were these calls 
         to close or open. If they were to open they do not result in 
        P&L until they are closed, epired, or terminated in some other 
        manner. Using your own words you say "on the CLOSED positions we are 
        ahead $8575". You fail to mention the drawdown of $26750.00. In addition 
        you now want to count as income proceeds of calls sold prior to their 
        being closed out.
        nice weekend,
        Dom

            Ben,
               
              How can you be ahead $8575.00 if 
            the current value of the Jan. 2004 call is 6.70. 175x 6.70 is 
            $117250.00=current value. Cost of this entity was $144000.00 minus 
            $117250.00=$26750.00 drawdown. How can you accumulate money if you 
            put 8 dollars in one pocket and you just lost 20+ in the other 
            pocket .  Keep It simple KISS, as you like to say, so 
            everyone who is interested can follow clearly what you are doing. 
            Yor posts regarding this spread have not been clear at all. Is it 
            possible this is the same spread you said Guaranteed no loss, no 
            drawdown?
