Trade Alert
DATE: May 11, 2023
Gross Credit for Trade: $520*
Span Margin Requirement: $840
Expiration Date: September 26, 2023
Price of NATURAL GAS: 2.51
Volatility has made natural gas options rich in premium. Even if the market fell 40% at expiration the option will be worthless
DATE: May 17, 2023
Gross Credit for Trade: $762*
Span Margin Requirement: $2180
Expiration Date: November 27, 2023
Price of COPPER: 3.795
A rally in a bear market has inflated call premiums. A sputtering economy causing layoffs and uncertainty should stall any sustained rally in the industrial metal.
We are not expecting copper to go to its all-time high of 5.02 by expiration.
DATE: July 18, 2023
Gross Credit for Trade: $580*
Span Margin Requirement: $2566
Expiration Date: September 15, 2023
Price of CRUDE OIL: 74.67
In the last year, no fewer than 12 times a crude oil rally has stalled between 80.30 and 85.50. Technically resistance is extremely strong. Fundamentally we do not expect a strong enough economy to warrant a 15% increase in less than 2 months.
DATE: August 7, 2023
Gross Credit for Trade: $530*
Span Margin Requirement: $1703
Expiration Date: October 17, 2023
Price of CRUDE OIL: 80.81
Since the June 27th bottom of $67.85 crude oil has climbed to over $82.00. We like to use the recent weakness to capture over-valued premium in the November puts.
DATE: August 11, 2023
Gross Credit for Trade: $550*
Span Margin Requirement: $627
Expiration Date: March 8, 2024
Price of CANADIAN DOLLAR: 74.54
If we exclude the market craziness caused by covid you would have to go back over 7 years to have Canadian Dollar below 71.50. With margin of only $627 we will gladly tie up margin for less than 7 months for a potential return off 88% on margin.
DATE: August 23, 2023
Gross Credit for Trade: $1105*
Span Margin Requirement: $3630
Expiration Date: February 26, 2024
Price of SILVER: 24.79
Two strong up days in a row have made silver premium enticing. With two naked positions risk needs to be managed. Profit potential of over $21,000 exists in the unlikely event on expiration the market is at $37. Strong resistance at $29.90 and again at $35.
