Buy a straddle or strangle (buy a call *and* put). You are long volatility,
price neutral. All of this is not simple. It's foolish to trade options
without a proper education. Best I can recommend is either Natenberg's
"Option Volatility and Pricing" (best) or McMillan's "Options as a Strategic
Investment" for the more mathematically challened. It ain't easy, but
nothing of value is.
