CLOSING $CAT Options Action trade - Mike

17 aug - another brick.. this option trade will expire at max loss as well.. didnt get any pop since presenting trade on-air and stock being under 90 today.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

30 july - 3weeks to go till Aug opex and this trade is sitting at near a 75% loss if you are still holding, with these calls going for about 50cents and the stock at 85ish. stock near the same price as when trade initiated.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8 Jun - on tonights Options Action mike has a trade on CAT, here is the clip the clip . the rest of the desk makes a good case for the reasons you might not do this trade.

Buy the Aug 90 call for $3.65 ($365 per lot)

Mike has a thesis that if it rebounds it will do so sharply allowing this call to profit quickly, also mentioned at the end of clip that he may leg into a call spread (spreading it out) if up move comes. Appreciate Enis being transparent and mentioning that he has a put spread on , since it was previously featured on a webextra. mike is at least giving himself some time for this call to work by going out to august.

  1. needs 93.50 or higher at OPEX to make money. but if stock moves up near term from here his call will profit.
