Trade Alert - (FB) - July 3, 2017

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.

Trade Alert - (FB) SELL-STOP LOSS

SELL the Facebook (FB) July, 2017 $145-$148 in-the-money vertical bull call spread at $1.97 or best

Closing Trade

7-3-2017

expiration date: July 21, 2017

Portfolio weighting: 10%

Number of Contracts = 25 contracts

Facebook (FB) is threatening its downside support, as is the rest of big tech, so I am going to stop out of the long side of this position.

I will continue to run the short side, which means we will still net a profit overall by the July 21 expiration date in 13 trading days.

I also more than covered this loss with the long position in Goldman Sachs (GS) which I picked up on the cheap on Friday afternoon. It is rocketing today.

The Great Rotation continues.

July is shaping up to be one of my most profitable months of 2017.

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 with only 13 days to expiration.
