CNC has nowhere to go but up from here. Even if GT was written off as a total loss, CNC is still worth more than $7-1/2 per share. This sell-off is way overblown!

I increased my CNC position today with a synthetic long position. I sold Jan 02 $7-1/2 puts, and bought Jan 02 $10 calls with the premiums. I fully expect CNC to hit $20 by then, making my calls worth a lot of $$, and the puts I sold worthless.

The stock would have to drop below $4-1/2 for my puts to drop below the break point. I don't think this will happen, but if it does CNC is an excellent buy.
