I got in amd for a short term strangle. Buy AMD 27 1/2 puts, and 30 Calls, but I had more weighted on the short side. I think AMD is heading to 24 quickly unless the forward looking statement sound beyond what analysts expected. Comments by Analyst on CNBC do not sound good. Most analyst do not expect upward suprise. I personally think AMD is not going to make it but -$.29 is pretty hard not to beat it. Let's wait and see for the earning.

Albert, re: short term strangle.
I'd take a profit of 50-100% on either side of it, you'll probably get that on both sides before expiration.
