By all analysts the results were expected to be good for revenue and profits with a growth in EPS. So I knew I could buy into the stock if in worst case it fell. I then had to choose strategies.

Also to collect premiums the strike would have to be near the present price which was already elevated. I was not comfortable with this as even buying using a CS Put may result in a high cost price.
