Shane, Call options are not the best play here, as the premium is high enough to make the gain from a 1.3% move negligible after commissions and trading costs. If I were convinced that this move would take place, I would sell in the money put options. But that is very high risk for a fairly low reward. The same goes for buying the Spy. Putting up 147 and change for a shot at 2+ points is one of those bets where you have to be right every time.
