LONG the Apple (AAPL) May, 2015 $115-$120 deep in-the-money vertical call spread at $4.00

NOT A NEW TRADE

4-27-2015

expiration date: May 15, 2015

Portfolio weighting: 10%,

Number of Contracts = 26

 

Apple blew away even the most optimistic forecasts today, announcing earnings per share of $2.33, versus a consensus expectation of $2.16, and $1.75 last quarter.

As a result, the stock has gone ballistic in the aftermarket, and will open Tuesday at a new all time high.

The firm earned $13.6 billion in profits on $58 billion in gross profits, the largest quarterly profit in world history.

The company sold a staggering 61.2 million iPhone during the three-month period, 4 million more than expected. Insignificant iPad sales dropped from 13.9 to 12.6 million units. MacBook?s were in line at 4.6 million units.

No mention was made whatsoever of problems with a strong dollar.

The company now sits on an unbelievable $194 billion in cash, the equivalent of the GDP of a medium sized country. Most importantly, Apple is expanding its share buy back program to $200 billion.

Wow!

This means we will be close to taking in 90% of the maximum potential profit on our long position in the Apple (AAPL) May, 2015 $115-$120 deep in-the-money vertical call spread at the opening tomorrow morning.

A $4.90 print of on the spread would give us a 22.5% profit on the position in less than two weeks. If I don?t take a profit, it will be only to squeeze out the last dregs of the position, with only 13 trading days left until expiration.

Not bad.

Fortunately, I was pretty aggressive with this position, using strikes that were close to the money, as I was certain that Apple would outpace all expectations with this earnings report.

On to the next Trade Alert. Tally ho!

AAPL 4-27-15
