    http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=AMGN Key Statistics

    Trade:
    Apr '15 100/95 bull put spread for a net credit of $26
    Yield = 26/474 = 5.5% in 221 days or 9.1% annualized
    Prob = 98%
    Expectation = .98(26) - .01(474) - .01(237) = 25.48 - 4.74 - 2.37 = 18.4

    I already have a Jan spread on AMGN so for me this would be a half position because of the overlap
