DailyPlay – Opening Trade (DHI) Closing Trade (LIN) – July 2, 2024

Closing Trade

  • LIN – 58.82% gain: Buy to Close 2 Contracts (or 100% of your Contracts) July 19th $435/$450 Call Vertical Spreads @ $2.80 Debit. DailyPlay Portfolio: By Closing both Contracts, we will pay $560. We opened these 2 Contracts on June 14 @ $6.80 Credit. The gain, therefore, is $800. This translates to a gain of 0.8% on our Portfolio.

Additional DHI Bearish Opening Trade Signal

Investment Rationale

As home builders continue to underperform, home builders such as D.R. Horton continue to be under pressure and DHI just broke below the key $140 support level that we were expecting. We are going to take this opportunity to add another 2% of our portfolio’s exposure to this position as we target $125 to the downside. Additionally, LIN reached out $425 target price intraday yesterday and has triggered our take profit level, so we are going to take this opportunity to close that out for a profit. 

We are adding another 2% exposure to the DHI trade and therefore opening 5 more Contracts using the same strike prices and expiry date as on June 25.
