Trade Alert - (BIDU) September 27, 2021 - BUY

Tech Alert

When John identifies a strategic exit point, he will send you an alert with specific trade information as to what security to sell, when to sell it, and at what price. Most often, it will be to TAKE PROFITS, but, on rare occasions, it will be to exercise a STOP LOSS at a predetermined price to adhere to strict risk management discipline.


Alert

 

Tech Alert - Baidu, Inc. (BIDU) – BUY

BUY - Baidu, Inc. (BIDU) October 2021 $170-$175 in-the-money vertical BEAR put spread at $4.30

Opening Trade

9-27-2021

expiration date: October 15, 2021

Portfolio weighting: 10%

Number of Contracts = 23 contracts

This is a short-term bet that Chinese search engine firm Baidu, Inc. (BIDU) will stay BELOW $170 in the next 18 days which means that even if the underlying stock goes slightly up from the current price, we will still make a profit.

I am not impressed with this Chinese tech purge carried out by the Chinese Communist Party and I believe it will cap any rebound in the short term.

Many companies have gotten hammered, and I don’t see any reason to think this will be a buy-the-dip price action.

Baidu is China’s biggest search engine and don’t think they aren’t immune from the broader crackdown of internet freedoms in China.

Baidu is no saint either and perpetuates the problem of fake health are products being sold on the Chinese search engine through misleading advertising that has led to deaths and injuries.

Some of the biggest names in China’s tech industry made an appearance at the World Internet Conference (WIC) in Wuzhen on Sunday to pledge support for the country’s “common prosperity” and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) nearly a year after the government began an extensive crackdown on the sector.

Smartphone maker Xiaomi co-founder Lei Jun and Alibaba Group Holding CEO Daniel Zhang Yong were two of the more coveted names to deliver speeches at the state-run conference.

They pledged to “aid” society even if it is a detriment to their stock price.

Imagine if the veracity of digital advertisements where the next bullet point for Chinese tech, BIDU’s share price would get slaughtered.

Under no circumstances should you ever hold Chinese tech stocks for the long-term, they are a barrel of gunpowder waiting to be lit.

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

Buy 23 October 2021 (BIDU) $175 put at………….………$20.00

Sell short 23 October 2021 (BIDU) $170 put at………….$15.70

Net Cost:……………………..…….………...................…….....$4.30

Potential Profit: $5 - $4.30 = $.70

(23 X 100 X $.70) = $1,610 or 16.3% in 18 days.

 

If you are uncertain on how to execute an options spread, please watch my training video by clicking here.

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.

Keep in mind that these are ballpark prices at best. After the alerts go out, prices can be all over the map.
