Trade Alert - (JPM) October 14, 2021 - EXPIRATION AT MAX PROFIT

Trade 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

 

Trade Alert - (JPM) – EXPIRATION AT MAX PROFIT

EXPIRATION of the JP Morgan (JPM) October 2021 $130-$140 in-the-money vertical Bull Call spread at $10.00

Trade Date: 10-14-2021

Closing Trade - NOT FOR NEW SUBSCRIBERS, YOUR TURN WILL COME

Expiration Date: October 15, 2021

Portfolio weighting: 10%

Number of Contracts = 11 contracts

I am going to run the P&L on this position so I don’t overwhelm you, and my staff, with seven closing trade alerts tomorrow, Friday. My bet that interest rates would soar, taking financial stocks with them, has proved wildly successful. That has left us with a record seven positions that expire at max profit on Friday.

JP Morgan announced blockbuster earnings yesterday. I think it is therefore safe to call this position a win, even though the actual October 15 options expiration is not until tomorrow

Since we added this position, shares of the JP Morgan (JPM) have rocketed by $22.00. That is miles away from the nearest $140.00 strike price for this position.

It also helped that we caught the top of the move in the Volatility Index (VIX) at a $25-$29 top when we added this position. Today the (VIX) is only at $19.

Therefore, we get to take home the maximum profit in this position, such is the magic of vertical bull call debit spreads. That means you get to take home $1,210, or 12.36% in 19 trading days.

The wall of money is still there, and in fact, it is growing.

Well done and on to the next trade!

You don’t have to do anything with this expiration.

Your broker will automatically use your long position to cover your short position, canceling out the total holdings.

The entire profit will be credited to your account on Monday morning October 18 and the margin freed up.

Some firms charge you a modest $10 or $15 fee for performing this service.

Bank shares have been joined at the hip with interest rates for the past eight months, and I believe that both rates and bank shares have much higher to go. With $3.5 trillion in new government spending about to be approved, but not funded, it can’t go any other way.

And when China’s Largest Real Estate Developer went Bust, the China Evergrande Group, with $300 billion in debt just gave us a great entry point. The move smashed risk markets globally, opening the Dow Average down 850. Bitcoin plunged 10%.

That gave us a gift. (JPM) is the class act in the global banking sector, and CEO Jamie Diamond is the best CEO in the country.

I believe that massive government borrowing and spending will drive US interest rates up through the roof and the value of the US dollar (UUP) down. Banks love high interest rates because they vastly improve profit margins.

This was a bet that JP Morgan (JPM) would not fall below $140.00 by the October 15 option expiration day in 28 trading days.

Here is the specific accounting you need to close out this position:

EXPIRATION of 11 October 2021 (JPM) $130 calls at…………..….……$31.00

EXPIRATION of short 11 October 2021 (JPM) $140 calls at…….…....$21.00

Net Proceeds:……………………..…….………..…..................………..….....$10.00

Profit: $10.00 - $8.90 = $1.10

(11 X 100 X $1.10) = $1,210, or 12.36% in 19 trading days.
