2-25 March S&P- Buy the Dip! We see the last few days, although blamed on the Middle East unrest as an excuse for the market to digest some of its recent rally, now that it appears to be over we are buying the S&P using either emini’s or full size options.  Buy the March 1330/1360 call spread and sell the March 1265 put as a naked leg.  The spread is being offered at 1.40 or $350 for the full size contract.  The trade has unlimited risk under 1265 with 7500 as the profit potential before commission consideration.  For the mini’s the cost is $70 with profit potential of $1500…the risk under the naked leg is as always, unlimited so be nimble.  Call us for questions!
