Long Term Calendars

Discussion in 'Risk Management' started by RedEyeFly, Jul 3, 2008.

  1. Does anyone on here have experience managing long term condors, such as 9-12 months out, probably using leaps?
    The profit profile near the strike can be similar to that of a call write with put protection, however the condor requires substantially less capital.

    Probably not a terribly popular idea right now with the VIX and vols so high, but should everything calm down a bit, it could be an interesting play for the income investor. Any thoughts?
     
  2. no, sorry
     
  3. Just wanted to check in again to see if anyone has any interest in long term calendars, possibly with LEAPS.

    Thanks.
