High upside potential, low downside risk strategy

Overnight said:
Hey, no offense, I am cool. I know nothing about options, and sometimes post what I think is a good thing. But freely admit that you options guys are fukin' crazy. I know NOTHING! (You'd have to see the history of my posts in the options section here. I try to get it right, but am not offended when I get it wrong.)

Heh

LOL We can say the same thing about you futures guys. You guys are freaking nuts! LOL

Let's say I'm sure that some index or stock will go up by 100% in near future (3 months, half a year, etc) but I don't know exactly when, but it will happen for sure. Before that move it can go down significantly. What strategy would you reccommend to take advantage of that upside move? I know I can just buy it and wait, but maybe there is any better approach using options / futures etc. to multiply gains?

THe best of the best strategy is

DON'T TRADE / INVEST !!!

do anything you want except trading/investing.
because in trading/investing, you have to take calculated risk.
 
Thank you for all your answers. It was just theoretical question. I thought there is some strategy that can use that upside move to to multiply invested capital using some leverage and it will work even some significant drowdown happen before that upside move.

Based on your answer it seems that the best strategy is to just not use leverage :)
 
Risk reversal,assuming you really want to own the pig if it des go down significantly

Use a Cash-Secured-Put (CSP). By this you get the underlying cheaper than now...
