Gimme Some Credit

Gimme Some Credit

By Paul Price of Market Shadows (originally published on 4/28)

We Sold a Long-Term Put on Visa 

In our Market Shadows' Virtual Put Writing Portfolio took advantage of last week’s sell-off in the high-quality shares of Visa (V). We wrote (sold) one contract of the Jan. 2016, $200 strike price put for $24.42.  

Visa Put for MS

Thus, we are now ready to buy 100 shares of Visa for a net price of $175.58 ($200 strike price – $24.42 put premium) if the put is exercised. Our maximum gain will be realized if Visa simply holds above $200 through expiration date. If V stays above $200, we will keep the entire $2,442 premium and will not be forced to buy any Visa shares. That is our best case scenario.
