I like this new format better than your old Conservative Options Trades thread, which got moved from the Option forums to Journals. Each trade idea now stands on its own instead of getting lost in the old thread. ================================= Now on to MCD IMO ...... $0.32 credit is unacceptable, you have to pull in at least $1.00. So my trade idea for MCD would be: MCD at $99.79 Sell Jan 15, 2016 95.00 put at $2.73 Buy Jan 15, 2016 90.00 put at $1.55 Credit $1.18 $10.00 closer to the underlying than the OP's idea, but you should be confident in the bullishness of MCD before you enter the trade.
