Well, here's one where I actually agree with Jach. Selling puts does require a hefty amount of equity. However, it can be a good way to make some $. I dunno what the premiums are currently for the $12 1/2's, but you'd probably get to keep all of it. The key here is if you are ready to pull the trigger to buy some FORE shares anyway, then consider selling out of the $ puts.

Buying out of the money calls is usually not a good idea, even if you are bullish on the stock. Time is against you big time in that scenario. It does work, though, if you're right about the magnitude of movement in the underlying stock.
