Probably a straddle, but I don't really like either. Better a, say, three month bull or bear spread. Only if you're dealing in very volatile issues, of course. Index options are best, though given how the Inuts are trading these days they offer some possibilities.

With a well thought out spread you'll reduce your potential for gain, but you'll also reduce your cost, and also your risk, pretty dramatically. BUT, to realize the desired result you've got to hang on to the position, because you're counting on time decay to do much of your work for you.
