Going small here, given the fact that the solar space has been a bit of wild of late ... .
Metrics:
FSLR March 4th 51/54/70/73.5
Probability of Profit: 66%
Max Profit: $71/contract
Buying Power Effect: $229/contract
Notes: Ordinarily, I pass on stuff that doesn't have at least a 1.00 credit in it. I could naturally go short strangle, but don't want to tie up the buying power if the thing goes awry (a 53.5/71.5 short strangle would get you a 1.44 credit). That being said, I don't have a ton of stuff going on (mostly waiting for longer-term setups to play out), so I figured I'd play it just to keep some buying power engaged ... . Look to take it off at 50% max profit.
