Today I entered a trade on C for the long haul. It seemed like an interesting play, with minimal risk. The biggest risk of course, is that Citi goes out of business, but I took an appropriately sized position so I'm okay with that. Anyway, here's the trade.
Bought JAN 2010 12.50 Calls for .17
Sold APR 2009 3.00 Calls for .18
That's right... I recieved more credit for the 10 days of time premium than the LEAP cost me. If Citi closes at expiry (10 days) for less than $3, I will own the 2010 LEAPS for free. In the case C is over $3 I will roll them up for a credit and keep doing that until I either hit the $12.50 and get called out, or the credit expires worthless. Pretty low risk, and easy to manage.
Good Trading...
