So, I'll either be an owner 300 shares at a price of $129.36 on 1/21, or I'll have pocketed $2k for the privilege of waiting for it to get there. Of course, if the price is $120 at that time I won't be too thrilled, but I have been consistent in saying that I'm a buyer at $130 even though I think it could go down 5-10% more than that.

Nice, I never messed with options. I always buy at market and dollar cost average down, 2xing my position roughly 4-5% each move down, never pushing above 80% of my margin. I got in at 135.03@375 shares. Today I’m at 133.78@570 shares. Plenty left before hitting margin. Not a really sophisticated strategy but seems to work ok.
I did buy a $50k 6 month CD through Schwab at 4.65% yesterday. That’s the emergency fund though, usually sits in a savings account.
