BMfM re: puts You could buy an out-of-the-money puts, say Jan200p for ~7 1/8 and HOPE the stock goes down enough to make something. Or you could buy in-the-money puts, say Jan270P for 32 3/4, AND Jan270C for ~37. If the stock starts dropping, sell your call and keep the put. If the stock starts moving up, sell the put and keep the call. You make $$ either way, it's just that you have to put more money at risk to initiate... but it's less risky. There are no cheap answers with this stock. The options premium have the price potential factored into them: the potential gains (and risk) are tremendous.
