Today’s Daily Play is what I call a pure “trader’s trade”: It’s to put on a bullish call spread in a name that reports quarterly earnings after today’s closing bell, wherein the stock has sharply sold off in 2022, but now finds itself on both a daily Aggressive Sequential -13 and Setup -9 counts that is also resting right into its prior swing area.
The idea is to buy the American Water Works (AWK) March 18 $145/$155 call vertical spread for just about $3.95 debit (its Tuesday closing mid-price strike differentials). Our strategy is to play the likelihood that earnings and/or revenues beat Street estimates, and that the oversold, washed-out stock then rallies.
Our intent is to hold this trade for no more than a week or so, as we’re likely to quickly make or lose money – with the odds better that we make a profit (given the already very beaten down stock).
