Thanx Mish; re>I assume the three Kings are CSCO MSFT and INTC the same, I also watch a few others but my focus is on them when I'm day trading the QQQ.. and I focus on the high volume one the most ( if one has exceptional volume ) which isn't always the case, but when one has exceptional volume over the other two it will dam near tell you what's coming around he next corner. --- I never looked at shorting one put and long the next month but I'll take a look. It sounds like it will work if slippage and commissions don't eat you up. -
