RE: "I would pick a direction and construct an options position that protects you with near zero loss if you're wrong and rewards you with a 33-50% gain if you're right..." Interesting and while I know it's possible, how would you do this? Buy te stock with protective both puts then sell longer term calls far out of the money? I would like to see how you would do it? My suggestion would have given you a downside risk of 1/8 with a profit potential of 2.5 in one month. Not too bad either, I don't think if your option quotes were accurate.
