### Comment:
Depends on time difference between them.  But in general, ur right, this would be higher risk, but would help if it goes sideways, and offset additional losses if it goes down.  And if it increases, but by less than the short position, it gets closer to the original position that the option was purchased for. As is the nature of a credit spread. 
  
 But ur right, dumping it and buying mu calls would be better.

### REPLY:
Should have just bought MU calls to begin with.
