Start buying monthly, in the money options. Wait for a stock like MSFT to have consistent red days, which are unusual for a stock of it's caliber, then slowly start buying ITM monthlies. When it's time for those blue chips to appreciate (blue chips are sideways and green more than they are red throughout the year) and be green again, you will eat on the way up.
To summarize in an example: I purchased 300c MSFT options that don't expire until late October. I started purchasing them around 290, and I know MSFT will hit at least 305 when all is said and done, so that's 15,000 or more in a months time, and that's if it stops at 305, it will more than likely go higher than that.
