Re: [RT] stock picks for 2008 and any option traders?

Ben: 

 

Your debit time spread is almost a guaranteed loser.  A time spread is at its maximum at the strike price.  Right now at 56+ LDK is close enough to the strike to be there.  A move higher or a move down below 55 will cause that spread to collapse.   A stock with a 30 day volatility at 177 is not a good bet for the status quo.

 

Just one man's opinion,

hello

this are all from msn money

as for a credit spreads

example

 

spouses you are bearish on ldk

 

you would sell 10 of Jan  55 calls,

and buy 10  Jan   65 calls,

your max loss is  10000

 

minus the credit you collect

however

say the credit is 6000

and

ldk closes 1/21/08 under  55

you pocket the $6000

now suppose you were bullish on HP

 

you would buy the  June 08 55  calls

and sell the Jan  55 calls for 1/08

this is a debit  spread

but

you are betting that by end of Jan  hp is not going to close above  55

and

if it does

you make a lot of money

 Ben,

 

 I was wondering, where do you get the projected growth percentage number from for stocks?

 Also a question for anyone who knows option spreads.

 

 Looking at debt spreads and credit spreads.

 When and why, you would use one over the other?

 

Thanks,
