Stock Symbol: FaceBook / FB
Option Strategy: [private_monthly]long puts[/private_monthly]
Price at this post: $20.77
Reasoning: [private_monthly]With some 270 million shares coming un-locked on Thursday, we're expecting some significant selling pressure on FB. So, we're putting on a simple put play. If we get our expected down move, we'll either take profits or write some lower strike puts. If we're wrong, and FB moves higher on/after Thursday, we'll close out the trade..
