AMAT seems very good earnings play on the down side. It has good amount of insider selling. On the technical side it seems breaking down from an upward channel, and also looks like its forming a double top. Overall it seems it has good chance to decline with the earnings. To play this we would look for $42 August 18th or 25th Puts currently $0.60 and $0.76
