Top Trades for Wed, 26 Sep 2018 11:21 – 9 Trade Ideas!

Adding some holiday income (and hedges) for Q4 with a set that you can start a whole new portfolio with:  

In the LTP, we have BBBY:

Short Put 2020 17-JAN 17.50 PUT [BBBY @ $19.09 $0.19] -20 1/8/2018 (478) $-5,600 $2.80 $-0.14 $-2.20     $2.67 $-0.18 $270 4.8% $-5,330
Long Call 2020 17-JAN 15.00 CALL [BBBY @ $19.09 $0.19] 30 4/20/2018 (478) $13,950 $4.65 $1.15     $5.80 - $3,450 24.7% $17,400
Short Call 2020 17-JAN 22.50 CALL [BBBY @ $19.09 $0.19] -10 4/20/2018 (478) $-2,200 $2.20 $0.25     $2.45 - $-250 -11.4% $-2,450

Let's sell 20 of the BBBY Jan $20 calls for $1.50 ($3,000) in the LTP and also in the OOP

As a new trade on CAKE for the LTP:

  • Sell 10 2021 $45 puts for $5.30 ($5,300) 
  • Buy 25 2021 $45 ($13.80)/$60 ($7) bull call spreads for $6.80 ($17,000)
  • Sell 15 Jan $55 calls for $2.85 ($4,275) 

That's net $7,425 on the $37,500 spread and we have 8 more quarters to sell.  

In the LTP, our CMG position is:

Short Call 2019 18-JAN 460.00 CALL [CMG @ $465.60 $-0.02] -20 8/27/2018 (114) $-123,600 $61.80 $-24.50 $-139.69     $37.30 $-1.20 $49,000 39.6% $-74,600
Long Call 2020 17-JAN 460.00 CALL [CMG @ $465.60 $-0.02] 20 8/27/2018 (478) $203,000 $101.50 $-22.55     $78.95 - $-45,100 -22.2% $157,900
Short Call 2020 17-JAN 580.00 CALL [CMG @ $465.60 $-0.02] -20 8/27/2018 (478) $-97,600 $48.80 $-14.60     $34.20 - $29,200 29.9% $-68,400

No change to that one but note that we have an $89,500 position (current net of the bull call spread) that pays $240,000 at $580 so massive $150,000 upside potential above $460 and we're collecting $74,600 (current price of short calls) over the next 3 months on the short calls.
