TWICK - Looked at the BEAS Aug and Sep 20 straddle - the right play but an expensive one to put on and therefore profit from, especially on the short side. I've yet to meet a CBOE MM that sells cheap contracts ROFLMAO At any rate, considering the premiums, long BEAS calls for the 20 bounce might worrk but I wouldn't stick around too long in case it doesn't hold on the 2nd or 3rd trip down. Are you just playing the stock or some kind of combo there?
