With the 105 being C 4 7/8 - 5 and P 5 3/4 - 5 7/8, it looks to me like being long the 105 straddle would be a better opportunity. These prices do not seem excessive giving the recent volatility of the stock. Sample trade: Go long the straddle, if it doesn't turn profitable during the next week or so, close it out. I also like the potential of the long Jul 105 straddle with C 12 5/8 12 3/4, P 11 1/4 11 3/8. I would think seriously about putting it on and keeping it until April, when if it doesn't perform, close it out.
