Yes Farouk, I agree with your strategy for a July straddle. I guess my
idea would pay off for Septemeber or October straddles. Yes I agree that
your kind of straddle is foolproof and the other kind involves a gamble
calculated on the company's fundamentals. But again, after the terrible
performance of overvalued stocks in the last couple of days, anything can
happen and your strategy would be the safest under these circumstances.
In buying more calls than puts, just as the profit may be more, the risk is
also greater.
