AMRS Options Strategy with downside protection

Multinational biotech company Amyris manufactures and sells synthetic ingredients to the clean beauty, personal care, health and wellness, flavor and fragrance, nutrition, food and beverage markets in Europe, North America, South America, and Asia. It also offers products under the Biossance, Purecane, Costa Brazil, OLIKA, and JVN brand names. Amyris also collaborated with the Infectious Disease Research Institute to develop a COVID-19 vaccine using their synthetic squalene, otherwise found naturally in sharks.

As global demand increases beyond natural supplies, the company believes that synthetic ingredients are the sustainable way to go. TA-minded traders might also see some pretty bullish patterns forming (falling wedge, double bottom, even Elliot Wave on the shorter timeframes). However, with Microsoft earnings leading a drop in the stock market today, how can investors balance fear and fear of missing out?

Here's a hedged #options strategy that makes a fixed 10% yield (26% annualized yield) unless AAMRS falls more than 69% to below $0.50. More downside protection: Start to lose only if AMRS falls by more than 71% to below $0.46 as of 6/16/23.
