thanks for the answer. may it blast upwards!

Why not buy the underlying? or sell puts for the same strike to cheapen your cost?

I agree, today isn't an entry point. i'll rephrase my question: given this chart, do u find any interest to trade it should X happen? would you have traded it long or short prior to today?

Awesome answer. educate me! where would you have bought it? i admit i WAS tempted to get it when it bounced of the triangle trend line, but hesitated. was that your chosen point of entry?

I'm shopping for opinions / insights. I do not intend to trade it with real $$$, so feel free to be objective, no repercussions will ensue. given the triangle above, should it break to the upside, what the best risk/reward move? Don't think it a long play at all? i wanna hear! lemme have it all...
