[Opening Straddle on Business Objects (BOBJ)]

Dear Member:

I am looking at a volatility play on Business Objects (BOBJ) where the implied volatility has dropped sharply and is beneath the statistical volatility. At times such a situation provides an opportunity to profit by a turn back up in volatility as well as from a sharp price move in either direction if a straddle is the chosen strategy.

I am placing an order to open a straddle by simultaneously buying the April 60 calls (BBQDL) and the Apr 60 puts (BBQPL) at a limit of $3.60.

DISCLOSURE: At the time of publication, I have no position in the referenced options or the underlying stock.

Sincerely,
Bill Kraft
