For anyone who wants or doesn't mind owning shares, this is a GREAT place. WE've done it before and March does seem far away, but it's not 'that far'.
This would be a buy low, sell high. The WSJ is a tad more 'slightly bearish to worrisome' on SBUX. Appears to be an inverted head and shoulders of some kind on the weekly. Nice distribution phase. Longer term, I love some SBUX
I would wait one more day for the earnings to be behind us before doing this, but the 52.5 Put Sell seems to be great and it is only meaningful if you go to Mar or even Apr. Safe, and yet good to own SBUX at 52.25 if we get put the stock. I will place the order tomorrow after the earnings (whenever they are).
