Trade Alert - (TLT) October 7, 2016

Trade Alert

As a potentially profitable opportunity presents itself, John will send you an alert with specific trade information as to what should be bought, when to buy it, and at what price.

Alert

Trade Alert - (TLT)- BUY

BUY the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) November, 2016 $127-$130 in-the-money vertical bull call spread at $2.52 or best

?Opening Trade

10-7-2016

Expiration Date: November 18, 2016

Portfolio Weighting: 10%

Number of Contracts = 40 contracts

YOU CAN PAY UP TO $2.60 FOR THIS POSITION AND IT STILL MAKES SENSE.

It is a bet that the (TLT) will not trade below the $130 level by the November 18 expiration date in 30 trading days.

If you can?t trade options, buy the (TLT) for a quick trading bounce.

With the (TLT) down 6 points in a week, I think the US Treasury bond market has suffered enough.

Having caught the entire move on the short side, I am now going to play from the long side.

In a week, 10-year yields have jumped from 1.54% to 1.78%. or some 24 basis points.

To lose money on the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) November, 2016 $127-$130 in-the-money vertical bull call spread the yield would have to rocket another 25 basis points to 2.03%, a six month high, or 49 basis points from the recent low.

It?s not going to happen.

In other words, a 25 basis point rate rise is already entirely discounted in the market at today?s levels.

Given the most that the Fed is going to raise rates at their mid December meeting is 25 basis points, and that there is now less than a 50% chance of that happening, this is already factored in.

So there?s your trade. The (TLT) should bottom out around here and stage a brief rally.

To see how to enter this trade in your online platform, please look at the order ticket below, which I pulled off of optionshouse.

If you are uncertain about how to execute an options spread, please watch my training video on ?How to Execute a Vertical Bull Call Spread?

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.

Please keep in mind these are ballpark prices at best. After the text alerts go out, prices can be all over the map. There is no telling how much the market will have moved by the time you get this email.

Net Cost:????????????????..??.?.....$2.52

Potential Profit: $3.00 - $2.52 = $0.48

(40 X 100 X $0.48) = $1,920 or 19.04% in 30 trading days.
