Natural gas producer and hydrocarbon exploration company Antero Resources has a market cap of 11.3B. Its stock followed the surge in energy prices this and last year, then corrected in June-July. With global shortages and an increased demand for natural gas (vs. oil), there's opportunity in energy long-term... but short-term uncertainty in this market.

Trading at 37.33 as of publication, we can take advantage of this possible low by setting the ceiling up to the 0 level and cushion all the way down to a bit below the 2.618 to minimize the chances of a loss while maintaining potential growth through expiration in July of next year. This will make up to 14.7% (17.9% annualized) but on the downside, also allow AR room to fall a generous 48% before breaking even.
