August 3, 2020 - MDT Alert (HOG)

MDT Alert

I would like to make a suggestion on a debit spread on a stock we traded before.  That stock is Harley Davidson Inc.(HOG).

HOG is trading around $26.30 as I write this.

HOG reported already, so we do have to be concerned with an earnings release.

My suggestion is to trade the September 4th weekly options.

This gives the stock about three weeks to make a move.

Here is how you open the position:

Buy to Open September 4th - $26.00 Call for $1.70

Sell to Open September 4th - $29.50 Call for  $0.45

The net debit will be $1.25 per spread, with a maximum gain of $2.25 per spread.

Based on the tracking portfolio, I suggest you limit the trade to an 8 lot or 1% of the portfolio.

The maximum gain on a five lot would be $1,800.

August 3, 2020 - MDT Alert (DXC)

MDT Alert

I am going to suggest you book the profit on the DXC position.

DXC is trading around $17.62 as I write this. Sell the shares at the market.

This will result in a profit of $381 if you traded the suggested 300 share lot.

You should have also booked profits of $360 by selling call options against this position.

Including the call premium collected, the total gain is $741 or 15.1% for holding the position since June 15th.

DXC reports this week and I would prefer to book profits ahead of earnings.

https://madhedgefundtrader.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/cropped-mad-hedge-logo-transparent-192x192_f9578834168ba24df3eb53916a12c882.png 0 0 Mad Hedge Fund Trader https://madhedgefundtrader.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/cropped-mad-hedge-logo-transparent-192x192_f9578834168ba24df3eb53916a12c882.png Mad Hedge Fund Trader2020-08-03 09:57:032020-08-03 09:57:03August 3, 2020 - MDT Alert (DXC)

July 31, 2020 - MDT Alert (CLVS)

MDT Alert

CLVS is just not performing as I would have anticipated. The stock is in an uptrend on its daily chart but continues to slowly drift lower.

And with call premium being so low, it does not make sense to continue with that strategy.

As a result, I am going to suggest you close the position.

Sell CLVS at the market, which is $5.92.

If you factor in the three rounds of calls sold against the position, the cash loss, if you traded the suggested 500 share lot is $295.

The loss is 8% if you add in the call premium collected.

I am going to suggest you sell the front week $7.50 call on the stock.

Here is the trade:

Sell to Open (1) June 26th - $7.50 Call for every 100 shares you own.

You should be able to sell them for $.25 per every option.

This will bring the call premium collected on this position to 50 cents per share.

If the calls are assigned this Friday, the return will be 9.4% for less than a month.

Of course, this alert only applies to you if you own shares in CLVS.

July 30, 2020 - MDT Alert (CTXS)

MDT Alert

I would like to make a suggestion on a debit spread and the stock is Citrix Systems, Inc. (CTXS).

CTXS reported on the 23rd with an earnings beat, so we do have to be concerned with an earnings release.

CTXS is trading around $140 as I write this.

My suggestion is to trade the August monthly options that expire on August 21st.

This gives the stock about two weeks to make a move.

Here is how you open the position:

Buy to Open August 21st - $140.00 Call for $4.50

Sell to Open August 21st - $145.00 Call for $2.20

The net debit will be $2.30 per spread.

Based on the tracking portfolio, I suggest you limit the trade to a 5 lot or 1.1% of the portfolio.

The maximum gain on a five lot would be $1,080.
