You can pay all the way up to $2.20 for this spread and it still makes sense. If you can?t trade options, then buy the stock.
If you can?t buy the options, then buy the stock outright. I think we continue a slow grind up into the end of the year.
If you want broader sector diversification, buy the Technology Select Sector SPDR (XLK). Its three largest holdings are Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Facebook (FB).
Keep in mind that a basket of stocks will have lower volatility and lower returns. For more information on this ETF, please click here at

The best execution can be had by placing your bid for the entire spread in the middle market and waiting for the market to come to you. The difference between the bid and the offer on these deep in-the-money spread trades can be enormous.
Don?t execute the legs individually or you will end up losing much of your profit. Spread pricing can be very volatile on expiration months farther out.
Here are the specific trades you need to execute this position:
Buy 48 January, 2016 (MSFT) $50 calls at????.?.$5.00
Sell short 48 January, 2016 (MSFT) $52.50 calls at..?.$2.97
Net Cost:??????????????????.?.....$2.03
Potential Profit: $2.50 - $2.03 = $0.47
(48 X 100 X $.47) = $2,256 or 2.26% profit for the notional $100,000 portfolio.
