The long-term target at 27.15 that we used to protect our gains on stock acquired for 11.01 seems to have caught a major top very precisely. We bought a put and shorted a call just as the stock was apexing, and now we can try to further enhance the risk:reward on the option position. We’re long a Feb 24 put for 0.35 and short a February 29 call for 0.60, and I’ll recommend offering a February 21 put (UMUNT) short for 0.35, good through Friday. (Note: If you hold the position in bigger size, you should short as many options as you are long Feb 24 puts.)
