Re: [TheOptionClub.com] Highest Option Value for Mar/June etc 2010

 

Hi J, I can partially see where you are coming from but how do you intend to make money once you find such options?

Also, SPY 94 Aug 09 Call (almost ATM) is trading at 2.43/2.46 and SPY 97 Aug 09 Call is trading at 1.21/1.24 - this still gives you the same 2 to 1 ratio? So why look 6-12 months away (I sincerely hope that you have some solid reasons behind it)... Happy trading...

Cheers Vikas

Thanks for getting back to Vikas. I appreciate it. I'm looking to place different ratio spread combinations with as large a breakeven spread I can create. To get just a basic visual of the underlying concept, if looking at a 6 month ATM SPY 100 call for 5pt. I would then look for 2 calls in the same month that are 2.5 pt each. Let's say that was the 105 calls. I would then look at the same thing in 12 month options, only this time, I'd find out that the 100 ATM calls were going for 8pts, but the 107.50 calls are 4pt each, which is the same ratio 2 to 1 ratio I'm looking for. The 6 extra months for me make no difference. I interested in the 2.5 pt larger spread. I'd continue this search in ETF's, Index Options, or stocks, similar to the S&P 500, regardless of time remaing until expiration.
