I prefer to buy BCE options instead (as a way to get the NT move). BCE May 110 or 120s or something like that. Actually, I am not as confident on options plays on high volatility stocks. I prefer the stock or try May options on a stock like Cisco if we get a pullback on it---but unload options before its earnings. Maybe on Thursday afternoon or Monday, May options might be cheap on BCE and could be worth a try. Depends upon how much the market moves in the meantime. If it goes up too much, I would avoid options and go with stock only. If it goes sideways for 2 days, I might give options a try. Just have to remember that these stocks have bounced up about 20 in the case of NT and BCE.
