Strategy: Put Spread
Reasoning: We expect this stock to drop 20 points from it's current price. We could just trade a straight put, but we'd be looking at a 2 for 1 profit ratio. Instead, we're looking to play a put spread, giving us a 3 for 1 profit ratio. This strategy limits our risk by reducing the amount of capital required for the trade and helps to reduce the effect of volatility of the option premiums.
