We hold four December 36 calls (QQQLJ) for 0.75, having been unable to short November 36 calls against them at anything remotely approaching fat price. Let’s shoot instead for a lean price that would be realistic in the event of a moderate short squeeze: Offer four November 36 calls (QQQKJ) short for 0.20, day order. If we succeed, we’ll have legged into a bullish calendar spread with little risk in either direction.
