OPTION TRADE OF THE DAY!

4-21

T-Bonds are currently in a downward trend and we are buying “put-fly’s” in an attempt to take advantage of the market while maintaining a limited risk exposure. According to our projections, there is a strong chance that the bond market could or should be trading between 123 and 117 come the last week of May. We are buying the June 123 put, selling two June 120 puts and then buying the June 117 put for a premium of 33 tics or $550 not including transaction costs, this would also be your maximum exposure. Your profit potential is limited to $3,000 before cost considerations. On a trade like this, if the market is above (123) or below (117) the spread, another spread to consider would be the 122/120/118. This spread is running about $250 with a profit potential of $2,000. Of course more aggressive traders would find a bear put spread with a naked leg more exciting. Good Luck
