Hi Wayne,

I'm not sure if you are into math or calculating risk/reward factors, but your strategy is absurd.

Stock plus puts = $27 or $1.85 gain in four months, IF the deal goes through. That comes to a little less than a 7% return. If the puts expire worthless at $25 the loss comes to 8%. You should be able to get around 5% on a six month FDIC insured CD WITH NO RISK AT ALL.

Regards,

Don
