    Trade:
    With USO at 10.19
    April 12.5/14.5 bear call spread for a net credit of at least $22
    (bid/ask = $16/$35)
    Yield = 22/178 = 12.4% in 209 days or 21.6% annualized
    Prob = 78%
    Expectation = .78(22) - .1(178) - .12(89) = 17.2 - 17.8 - 10.7 = -11.3

    Price.............. Profit / Loss........... ROM %
    7.00..................... 22.00............... 12.40%
    9.00..................... 22.00............... 12.40%
    12.00................... 22.00............... 12.40%
    12.50................... 22.00............... 12.40%
    12.72..................... 0.00................. 0.00%
    13.89................ (117.00)............. -58.50%
    14.00................ (178.00)............. -87.60%
    16.00................ (178.00)............. -87.60%
    18.00................ (178.00)............. -87.60%

    I'll see if I can get $25 before I settle for $22...below $22 no deal.
