[RT] This Week's Most Unusual Covered Call

I have not seen this before most likely because I was not looking. 
But this week I was checking out price discrepancies between Calls 
and underlying price of stock.

I found Citigroup [C] traded around $33.90 and the Mar. Call with a 
strike price of $15 had a bid of $20.90.[makes my cost $33.90-
$20.90=$13. I sold the Call first and then bought the stock. The net 
effect is that if C does not tumble from $33 to under $15 in 10 days, 
I will effectively make $2 per share when I am called out on 3/21/03.

Just thought I would share this technique with you. If the option 
were further out, I do not think I would have done it.
