Personal Investments • Put options - protect gains on taxable account

Hi All

I bought 100 stock of XYZ at $10 more than 5 years ago. It is worth $30 now. However, it is fickle with the next earnings 2 months away and can fall rapidly. I want to protect my $20 gains.

Should I buy a put for $30 for $ 2 expiring a week after the earning ? I understand I will cut my gains by $2 but will be protected in case the stick falls

any other ideas to lock the gains without selling now ?

thanks
