Buying a strangle is options strategy that would be used if the investor (or perhaps speculator is a better term) was convinced the market was going to make a big move in either direction. You buy calls and puts. If the underlying security (a stock or stock index or in some cases something else) moves hard up your calls go up in value more then your puts go down. If the underlying goes down hard your puts go up in value more then your calls go down. If the underlying goes nowhere your puts and calls slowly (or for short term options not so slowly) fade to 0.
