Trade of The Day (CEDC) 4.17.2012

Break-even:  I breakeven on this trade if CEDC closes at $4 by April 20, 2012 and at $3.65 by May 18, 2012.

Unprofitable: I lose money on this trade if CEDC closes under $4 by April 20, 2012 and above $3.65 by May 18, 2012.  The most I can lose on this trade is the Price of the Spread, $.35.  

Reason I Like This Trade:  I like selling front month premium and buying back month premium with only a few days to go until expiration. In this strategy, I will make money as long as CEDC does not rip higher between now and Friday, because the April options will decay faster than the May options.  

UPDATED 4.23.2012  On Friday, I announced in the LIVE trading room that I sold my May 4 Puts for $.60 and the April Puts expired worthless, so I turned $.35 into $.60 for another HUGE winner at KOTM.
