7. STRATEGY: ASSUMING IT TRADES AT CURRENT LEVELS ON THE DAY OF EARNINGS, DEC 41/35 put spread ON THE DAY OF EARNINGS

I would wait until Nov 24th to short it, it may rally into earnings and the best place to short it would be at 43-44 IMHO. If it rallies to 43-44, Dec 43/38 put spread might be a good idea.

THIS STRATEGY IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. PLEASE CHECK BACK ON THE DAY OF EARNINGS TO KNOW MY STRATEGY/POSITION
