Use the following details to enter the trade on your trading platform. Please note that if there is a multi-leg option strategy, it should be entered as a single trade.
Bulls and squeezed bears continue to push stocks higher, even with Fed officials contradicting investors’ beliefs that they were “pivoting” to a more dovish view. (I told you immediately after last week’s Powell press conference that they were not, and that the Street had that interpretation wrong.) Nonetheless, the market continues to rip, and has significantly gained since the FOMC rate adjustment last Wednesday.
Something is amiss, given that the “No, we’re not done” statements didn’t undo the rally. In theory, it should have more than Tuesday’s one-day decline. Which means one very important thing to me: Bearish positioning was so strong that not even bad news can get the market down enough to give the shorts an out, leading me to think that we still need to do more upside squeezing before the market can actually fall again
Today, I’m looking at putting on a bullish play in a beaten down, unloved name: AT&T (T). Its weekly chart shows it still holding above its uptrend line; support from prior highs; and, by chance, now also shows its first daily Sequential -13 downside exhaustion signal of the year.
I’m not going to lay out each and every one of those idea’s trade parameters, but I’ll simply lay out selling a September 2nd $18.50/$17.50 put spread for what yesterday closed at $0.305. You’re collecting ~31% of the strike differential, and if exercised you’re essentially buying the stock at about $18.20, a bit lower than it is now.
