Technicals
Red Hat’s earnings report triggered a push higher above a notable horizontal level at $108.04 that held the stock price lower on several attempts throughout the month prior to the report. RHT also regained the 20-period daily moving average on the back of the same surge and hit fresh 52-week highs. The horizontal level and the moving average fall in close proximity to each other, offering a strong confluence of downside support.

If you agree there's further upside ahead for Red Hat, consider this trade which is a bet that the stock will continue to advance, or at least not decline very much over the next seven weeks.
Buy To Open RHT 17Nov17 105 Puts (RHT171117P105)
Sell To Open RHT 17Nov17 110 Puts (RHT171117P110) for a credit of $1.45 (selling a vertical)
This price was $0.02 less than the mid-point of the option spread when RHT was trading near $111. Unless the stock rallies quickly from here, you should be able to get close to this amount.
If you use our favorite broker for this trade, tastyworks, your commission on this trade will only be $1 per opening contract ($2 per spread) (and there is no commission on closing trades, only the $.10 clearing fee). Each contract would then yield $143 and your broker would charge a $500 maintenance fee, making your investment $357 ($500 – $143). If RHT closes at any price above $110 on November 17, 2017, both options would expire worthless, and your return on the spread would be 40% (325% annualized).
