Investment Rationale
As we seek new opportunities in a sideways market, one idea that has generated profits for us recently has presented a new entry opportunity. Using the Credit Spread Trade Ideas scanner on the OptionsPlay platform, UPS generated a new Bearish Call Vertical trade opportunity, collecting over 40% of the vertical width by selling the Oct $175/$180 Call Vertical @ $2.06 Credit. The small rally off the $166 lows presents another opportunity to play for another leg lower on UPS. Its recent approval to lift driver wages during times of slowing shipping volumes and increased competition from Amazon suggests the risks are to the downside. With a hypothetical portfolio of $100,000, I recommend risking 2% of the portfolio’s value on this trade, which is 7 Contracts for a risk of $2,058. We will set a stop loss on the spread at 100% of the premium collected, $4.15 Debit.
