  4. Probably both calendars should be for bullish/neutral outlook! Why are they bearish?

    When you're bullish, you like OTM put calendars and ITM call calendars?

  6. So you can't offer a direct answer for my simple question to clarify a basic options strategy!

    Furthermore, MTE wasn't the one who had made that misleading statement in this thread! :)

  8. Seriously, do you know why calendars are also known as quarters or halves?

  9. According to McMillan, "The calendar spreader can either have a neutral outlook on the stock or he can construct the spread for an aggressively bullish outlook." I am not able to find yet he mentioned a calender spread for bearish outlook.

    However, personally I do have some different views against his comments above.

    OddTrader,

    Are you kidding around or are you seriously asking a question about a bearish calendar?
