Alert

Trade Alert - (BAC)

Buy the Bank of America (BAC) December, 2014 $15-$16 in-the-money vertical call spread at $0.92 or best

Opening Trade

11-4-2014

expiration date: December 19, 2014

Portfolio weighting: 10%

Number of Contracts = 110 contracts

 

You can buy this put spread anywhere within $0.90-$0.94 and have a reasonable expectation of making money on this trade.

After one of the most prolific stock market recoveries in history, I am not inclined to load the boat here with risk.

However, the latest announcement of and provisioning for a criminal investigation into JP Morgan (JPM) over its foreign exchange trading practices has conveniently knocked 33 cents off the shares of Bank of America (BAC), which is not involved in the case.

So I am going to take advantage of the dip to put on a very low risk position in the Bank of America (BAC) December, 2014 $15-$16 in-the-money vertical call spread at $0.92 or best.

Warning! With a low price and a large number of contracts, this trade is particularly sensitive to your commission rate. So if you are overpaying your broker, now is the time to have a conversation with them and negotiate your rates down. It?s easier than you think, especially on spread trades.

The $15 and $16 strikes also make this a nice set up in the options. I expect markets to rally into yearend, for financials to take the lead, and (BAC) should drift up with it. If the ten year Treasury market (TLT) breaks 2.30% and moves up to a new, higher range, it will be a sure thing.

Keep in mind that the options market is highly illiquid now, so don?t hold me to these prices. They are ballpark estimates, at best.

The best execution can be had by placing your bid for the entire spread in the middle market and waiting for the market to come to you. The difference between the bid and the offer on these deep in-the-money spread trades can be enormous.

Don?t execute the legs individually or you will end up losing much of your profit. Spread pricing can be very volatile on expiration months farther out.

If the price of this spread has moved more than 5% by the time you receive this Trade Alert, don?t chase it. Wait for the next one. There are plenty of fish in the sea.

Here are the specific trades you need to execute this position:

Buy 110 December, 2014 (BAC) $15 calls at?????$2.14

Sell short 110 December, 2014 (BAC) $16 calls at..??.$1.22
Net Cost:??????????????????.....$0.92

Potential Profit: $1.00 - $0.92 = $0.08

(110 X 100 X $0.08) = $880 or 0.88% profit for the notional $100,000 portfolio.
