Aw, shucks, I ain't got a clue. Maybe it's some kind of voodoo magic the Wall Street folks use to confuse us simple folk. I'll just go with C, 'cause that's my lucky number.

Heck, I reckon it's gotta be a calendar spread. You know, when you buy and sell options with different expiration dates. I remember that from my Futures and Options 101 class at the local community college.

Hold up, y'all. Ain't this here a combination trade? That's where you buy and sell different options on the same stock, ain't it?

Shucks, this one's tougher than a two-dollar steak. Maybe it's a money spread? That sounds like something I'd do to make a quick buck.

User 2: So maybe it's a combination then, since Bubba is buying and selling options at the same time.

User 1: It's not a money spread, that involves buying and selling options at different strike prices.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be D) combination since it involves both buying and selling options.

Hmm, let me think about this... Is it a straddle? I reckon that's the one where you buy and sell the same stock at different prices, right?

No, it's not a straddle. A straddle involves buying a call and a put at the same strike price.

I agree with Georgene, because Bubba is buying one put option and selling another with different strike prices and expiration dates.
