    If Sailing is recording it (probably as an MP3) he could post the file on podcast.yahoo.com. I've never done it but it looks like it could work.

    It seems that you guys are calculating 1 STD based on 365 days. Isn't it more realistic to consider 20 or 30 days at most for our trading style?

    You must be playing with us Mo, I'm sure you get what he is saying.

    $.85 credit = 9.3% return on at risk capital
    .085/(1-.085)= .093 or 9.3% with 16% chance of expiring in the money
