  Option Spread Strategies
  Bull spread: Purchase call option with low exercise price and subsidize the purchase with sale of a call option with a higher exercise price.
  Bear spread: Short bull spread. Purchases call with high strike price, and shorts call with low strike price. Investor keeps difference in price of the options if stock price falls. Bear spread with puts involves buying put with high exercise price and selling put with low exercise price.
  Butterfly spread: Three different options: buy one call with low exercise price, buy another with a high exercise price, and short two calls with an exercise price in between. Butterfly buyer is betting the stock price will stay near the price of the written calls.
  Calendar spread: Two options with different expirations. Sell a short-dated option and buy a long-dated option. Investor profits if stock price stays m a narrow range.
  Diagonal spread: Similar to a calendar spread except that the options can have different strike prices in addition to different expirations.
