Well I don't expect you to know someone the first time you do it either. And my basic understanding when I bought the contract was I would make a MAX PROFIT if the stock price ended between 42.55 and 43.90 but what I'm trying to figure out is where the money is to be made. Since the stock (MU) is currently over 42.55  and under 43.90 with an expiring of this friday. But I'm down - 10 bucks. So basically I'm trying to figure out where the profit section of this strategy is?

I'm not that smart, but I'm also not dumb enough to buy a complicated spread that I don't understand. You make money if the calls you sold expire worthless on Friday. You're down because MU had an up day and those calls you sold increased in value more than the calls you bought. If the total cost of your spread is down then just rebuy the spread and voila, you now have two retarded spreads that cost less individually than the first retarded spread you bought.

### END.
