Webcast Description:

In this brand new offering from The Options Industry Council, Peter Lusk of the Chicago Board Options Exchange discusses time spreads, also known as a calendar or a horizontal spread. If you're neutral on an underlying stock, learn how you might use this hedged position to profit from decay in an option's time value, but with a limited, maximum loss amount that you know up-front. Peter will also address management of this spread in the event of unfavorable moves in the underlying stock's price.
