if I am confident in a movie vis-a-vis the call/put numbers, e,g, FFUR5 or JUMPB, I short put & long call

and DTXbro is right about never, or almost never, doing the inverse - long put & short call - I may have done that one or twice, but you'd have to be super confident the movie will flop completely, again vis-a-vis the call/put numbers

Roughly 20 percent of current holdings of the Pirates of the Carribean 4 opening weekend puts are shorts. This seems to reflect lunacy from DTXbro May 12, 08:12

Long the put, short the call -- that's dopey. The most you can make is two bucks. The potential loss is boundless. It's a fool's bet, DTXbro May 12, 09:08

No, you can make a lot more than 2 bucks. JohnTEQP May 12, 23:11
