Actual company aside, can some explain the benefits to this action vs buying the amount of shares for the net out of pocket? Sort of understand the article but fail to see the advantage in the action vs simply buying a chunk of shares today.
Action in question
Buy 24,413 January 2013 $3 call options for $13 each
Sell 24,863 January 2013 $2.50 put options for $11 each
