hi sundar,

your question is a little too vague. what are your most realistic expectations at the moment ( very bullish, bullish, neutral, bearish, very bearish)? what trading range do you expect for intc? then you can decide what to do.

intc would have to move to about 93 1/2ish by october expiration for you to breakeven. it can happen but i'm not clever enough to know myself.

but you seem to be expecting intc to hit 87/88 soon. in that case, you could sell sept. 80 puts for about 1 3/4 to 2. Or if you're really aggressive, sell the sept. 85 puts for 4 to 4 1/8. You will make money on them as long as INTC stays above about 79 1/2 on the 80 puts and about 82 1/2 on the 85 puts at expiration. But you will LOSE money if it goes down below those levels. And if it hits your target by expiration, you can keep the premiums.

at that point, you could get a higher price for you Oct. 90 calls and can sell the puts for a profit.

i have not mentioned buying options because i'm assuming you don't want to spend any more money.

just my 2 cents. i'm learning so please take this with a grain of salt.

good luck.
