Nice strategy!

Only one little problem: When a stock price reaches your stop price, your order becomes a market order. What if the stock opens quite a bit down the next day? Does your stop order get filled at a price MUCH lower than you expected? You could use the type of stop with a minimum price and ride it out, but you've joined the traders who become investors against their will.

Suggestion: We've seen the price rise quite a bit in anticipation of great earnings. How about buying the shares a few weeks early and selling into the euphoria. You could use puts too. Happy holidays, PW.
