Robert,

<< if a stock ABC is at 42 then I will buy a 45 call and 40 put about 2-3 months out>>

What you described is called a strangle. I use strangles also. When I say straddle-type combination, I mean buying Puts and Calls at the same strike price, but with different expiration dates.

I also like the looks of COMS (or USRX, since COMS and USRX are joined at the hip right now).

Regards,

carlzbad
