“To keep it simple I am just going out to March, buying the 300-275 put spread. Spend about $6 for that. $13.5 for the 300’s. About $7.5 for the 275’s. You are spending less than a quarter of the distance between the strikes here. Remember that’s the kind of risk-reward relationship we like,” Khouw said.
