I think the long calls could make a great play. You are probably going ATM or ITM (80-85 Delta?) I would guess, depending on where and when you buy it, but if you are going slightly OTM and you think it might take a while to move, have you considered doing a calendar? If you get an 08 with lots of extrinsic value, and its slightly OTM, you could sell a front month call against it and lower the cost of the 08 significantly. This could also work if it pulls back after you buy it and it looks like the pullback could be prolonged, like a month or so at least. You could sell a front strike 30 days or less out and collect some premium before it resumes its move. Just some "options" to go with your, options! Hey Chris,
