    Some remedial options 099.

    A short put vertical is = a long call vertical. It's the box arbitrage. Long one and short the other is a rates-arb on the strike diff.

    Moron doesn't know this so he went DITM with the puts as he thinks he's gaming the system. Ra's trade is identical to buying the 155/160 call spread. Really. It is.

    This is the second moronic thread he's opened this week in the options forum. The first was asking about weekly options that didn't exist when 9/11 transpired.

    "Moron, Idiot". - You're way too arrogant, buddy! Keep calm and cultivate a civil language.
