    The Bear Spread

    A conservative bearish approach...

    Sell one QANYA $3.48 PUT OPTION EXPIRING 28-Nov-2002 at 14c
    Receive: 1 * (1004 * 00.14) = $140.56

    Buy one QANYB $3.73 PUT OPTION EXPIRING 28-Nov-2002 at 30c
    Pay: 1 * (1004 * 00.30) = $301.20

    Total Cost is $160.64.

    Maximum loss at expiry is $160.64 when QAN price equals or exceeds $3.73... sold put is worthless (get to keep that premium), but bought put also becomes worthless (lose that premium).

    Maximum profit at expiry is $90.36 when QAN has moved below $3.48 and both puts finish in the money... the bought put's intrinsic value [starting at 1004 * (3.73 - 3.48) = $251.00] less premium paid ($301.20), plus the sold put's premium received ($140.56) less intrinsic value (starting at zero).

    Maximum favourable time decay with QAN around $3.48.
    Maximum unfavourable time decay with QAN around $3.73.

    Breakeven with QAN $3.57 at expiry.
