Mark, if you believe that PAIR will drop after the earning announcement, you may want to sell calls on PAIR instead of the underlying stock. The Feb $10 call is going for $1.50. If PAIR goes below $10 on Feb 19, you pocket the $1.50 premium, you still own PAIR, you have lower your cost basis by $1.50, and you have avoided commissions on the buying/selling of PAIR. If PAIR closes at or above $10 on Feb 19, you have still sold it for $11.50, more than if you had just sold the stock itself. Good luck, Wolverine
