Any thoughts, is this a good low risk play? Be sure to read the option contract terms. Thx FWIW, long term chart looks like Cup & Handle formation. Looks especially good because it has take over 2 years to form. Any thoughts?

Why? You have the stock and you don't want to sell?.....What if she is heading back to buck and a half?.....You will be the bag holder.....

chart to me looks ST bearish, LT bullish. while I'm skeptical LVLT could make it to 7.5 by January, a Jan call--depending slightly on your macro prognosis for the global economy--is a bit of a way out, and isn't quite as good a short vol play as a call with less time premia, like a Nov call, for example. A lot can happen between now and Jan--perhaps even a new gearing up of the LBO machine...

Thank you for your feedback. I do not hold the stock was just scanning and looked "tempting" so I thought I run it by couple of people to see what they thought. It always helps to have another view. Thanks again :)
