I am observing market and options chain, No use in these 30 days. Either do weekly or 3-4 months anipinchindi.. Here is what I am trying to do. COST earnings is Oct 5 After hours. So, I want to wait until oct 5 and see what is the right strike price. And on oct 5 intra day, buy Oct 6 calls and do straddle. I assume calls will be cheap because 1 day before and there will a minimum of 5-6 volatality. Not sure my thinking is right. I did some math yesterday. Buy either puts or calls more(lets say 10) and buy the other one just to make up that loss if my biggest bet is wrong. This is not my own paitham, I read somewhere on how to hedge against the stock you owned. Pettesaa
