silverbullet,..still in learning mode with options,...hope you don't mind if i ask you a question?,... (and actually if anyone else whats to comment i'd appreciate it as i'm learning from the pro's here) regarding this post: PNC-turn $500 into $70 K as this could be the next LEH BSC or KEY. Buy the August 37.5 puts. you answered: You think those puts are far enough out? August is not giving it much time. questions,... 1- with 2 months left, why do you sense that the August puts would not be enough time ? 2- could you elaborate as to why 2 months out in this case doesn't seem like enough time ?
