TNOX trades 14.30 the option with strike 15 and only good for 8 days trades 1.25 (8.7%). So, a 8% loss in the stock is easily covered. Above 15, the option gets called and I keep the premium and .70 gain in the underlying. Makes about 13%.

Like a synthetic put with the difference that the 15er put does not pay out that well. If I sell the put I get the stock put so are behind 70 and only get 1.8 premium which is also the maximum gain.
