a lady called earlier.y the way, just to echo something nancy pelosi said, the democrats are in the united, and you have to hit it to them. they are united in almost every case. i applied republicans as an audependent -- i appl republicans as an independent for not assuming partnership, let's stay together no matter what with a flawed plan in place. they say this is flawed so it does not pass. that is a good thing in my mind. let's move on to what i called about. a lady called earlier and i will offer this was partly to her if she is listening. i have done research in the past. back in march of 2010, i called mark sanford's office and spoke to a staff member and lindsey graham's office, and they were not happy about obamacare, and the reason they were not is because one of the provisions of the affordable care act was congress and their staff members would have to take out one of the plants. before that, they could take a plan offered under the federal employees health plan. i have a plan. the most popular

or a call spread.e'll buy a call spread or sell a put. you're looking to basically have an alternative to stock. that's really for the risk management sort of purpose. the other reason i would say, this finance of the put sale what i'm trying to do is create a scenario where i'm not paying premium out right now. if the stock goes lower towards the short put sale, then i'm going to have mark to market losses. if the stock rallies up to the long calls then i'll have gains on the mark to market basis. i'm not paying anything for it. the last one is to get leverage for a sharp upside move so that put sale is helping me buy these calls, not do it for a big premium outlay and that's giving me leverage to the upside. i want to give you an example with sprint. the stock today was trading about -- i think it was about 860 or so. you could actually sell a downside put. i want to look at this 7 level. this was the breakout level from november. the stock had a big turn around right after the election as obviously
