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 - (WYNN) – BUY

BUY the Wynn Resorts (WYNN) March 2020 $110-$115 in-the-money vertical Bear Put spread at $4.00 or best

Opening Trade

3-6-2020

expiration date: March 20, 2020

Portfolio weighting: 10%

Number of Contracts = 25 contracts

I am going to use induced 400-point intraday rally in the Dow Average to sell short again. And now I am also in the enviable position in that any short positions in the stock market are hedged by our long put options in the (VXX).

It is an old trading nostrum that if you throw good news on a stock, like we saw today, and it fails to rally, you sell the hell out of it.

The short-term outlook for the casino seems hopeless, with the global pandemic increasing by the day.

I am therefore buying the Wynn Resorts (WYNN) March 2020 $110-$115 in-the-money vertical Bear Put spread at $4.00 or best

To earn this much money on a spread 15% in-the-money with only 10 days to expiration is unimaginable, but that is the kind of trade that a (VIX) of $50 allows, today’s high.

To lose money on this trade, (WYNN) would have to rise above $110 in 10 days, a gain of 15% from today’s level.

This is a bet that Wynn Reports (WYNN will not trade above $110 by the March 20 option expiration day in 11 trading days.

Don’t pay more than $4.40 for this position or you’ll be chasing.

If you don’t do options stand aside.

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

Buy 25 March 2020 (WYNN) $115 puts at………….…....……$21.00

Sell short 25 March 2020 (WYNN) $110 puts at………….….$17.00

Net Cost:……….............……………..…….………..………….….....$4.00

Potential Profit: $5.00 - $4.00 = $1.00

(25 X 100 X $1.00) = $2,500 or 25.00% in 10 trading days.
