I'm tempted to buy calls and puts at this point. I think both would bring profit between now and expiry. As long as premiums are not excessive.

Long term I would prefer to short by selling stock, rather than using options. Buying puts is fine when you have a strong reason to believe the stock is going down soon. If you just consider it overvalued, then you could lose a good chunk of profit through time value erosion.

Will see if I can find a top today.
