Avis Budget Group, Inc. (CAR) crashed down by $540 or 66% in less than 24 hrs, following a short squeeze.

During the last couple weeks the Healthcare insurance companies are down and many of them are in a buying zone. Even if the trend might continue, I start accumulating for long term positions in ELV, UNH and CNC. For those who are more toward ETFs, IHF or XLV (entire healthcare sector) are the options as both of them beat the SPY in the last 15 years. Does anybody else looking into this sector?

If you're holding a stock that's underwater and want to accelerate recovery without buying more shares or taking on new downside risk, this is a strategy worth understanding. I call it the "Zero-Cost Recovery Spread" — it uses existing shares as collateral to build a ratio call spread that costs nothing to enter but dramatically compresses the time it takes to close the gap on a cost basis. Here's how the structure works using CELH (Celsius Holdings) as an example, currently sitting around $35 with a cost basis near $60 and you hold 200 shares. The setup is a 2×4 ratio spread on margin-held shares only. You buy 2 ATM calls (long position, leveraged upside) and sell 4 calls at a higher strike (between the cost basas and the current price). The 4 short calls break into two groups: 2 are covered by the 2 long calls forming a bull call spread, and 2 are covered by the 200 shares you already own acting as covered calls. Net cost: zero or a small debit. If the stock reaches the short strike by expiry, the bull call spread pays its maximum and the covered calls deliver stock gains simultaneously. The key insight is that you're not adding capital — you're deploying the shares you already own more efficiently. The downside is identical to just holding the stock. The upside is meaningfully faster recovery. A few important conditions for this to work well: the shares used as collateral must be in a margin account, you need to be able to monitor and roll the short calls if the stock approaches the cap early, and the short strike should be set below a meaningful resistance level so the probability of the stock blowing through it before expiry is low. IMPORTANT: If the price go beyond the short calls, you would not regain the cost basis! Happy to answer questions — curious if anyone else has used ratio spreads for recovery on underwater positions.
