+The differential in futures prices is .07, or 7 cents per gallon. He thinks it could 
+grow to 12 cents or so by early winter. However, he also thinks that oil and oil prod­
+ucts have the potential to be very volatile, so he considers using the options. One cent 
+is worth $420 for each of these items. 
+The time value premium of the options is 1.65 for the put and call combined. If 
+he pays this amount ($693) per combination, he can still make money if the futures 
+widen by 5.00 points, as he expects. Moreover, the option spread gives him the 
+potential for profits if oil products are volatile, even if he is wrong about the futures 
+relationship. 
+Therefore, he decides to buy five combinations: 
+Position 
+Buy 5 January heating oil 60 calls @ 6.40 
+Buy 5 January unleaded 62 puts @ 4.25 
+Total cost: 
+Cost 
+$13,440 
+8,925 
+$22,365 
+This initial cost is substantially larger than the initial margin requirement for 
+five futures spreads, which would be about $7,000. Moreover, the option cost must 
+be paid for in cash, while the futures requirement could be taken care of with 
+Treasury bills, which continue to earn money for the spreader. Still, the strategist 
+believes that the option position has more potential, so he establishes it. 
+Notice that in this analysis, the strategist compared his time value premium cost 
+to the profit potential he expected from the futures spread itself This is often a good 
+way to evaluate whether or not to use options or futures. In this example, he thought 
+that, even if futures prices remained relatively unchanged, thereby wasting away his 
+time premium, he could still make money - as long as he was correct about heating 
+oil outperforming unleaded gasoline. 
+Some follow-up actions will now be examined. If the futures rally, the position 
+becomes long. Some profit might have accrued, but the whole position is subject to 
+losses if the futures fall in price. The strategist can calculate the extent to which his
