Technicals
The technical indicators point to a healthy uptrend in TSM. The stock price recently bounced higher from support at $34.42 and has regained the 20-day moving average. The stock has held above the same moving average on a weekly chart for most of this year. A rising trend channel has been in play since May last year and the lower line of the channel offers additional support near recent lows.

If you concur Taiwan Semiconductor is ready to resume higher, consider this trade which is a bet that the stock will continue to advance, or at least not decline very much over the next four weeks.
Buy To Open TSM 18Aug17 34 Puts (TSM170818P34)
Sell To Open TSM 18Aug17 35 Puts (TSM170818P35) for a credit of $0.21 (selling a vertical)
This price was $0.02 less than the mid-point of the option spread when TSM was trading near $36. 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 $19 and your broker would charge a $100 maintenance fee, making your investment $81 ($100 – $19). If TSM closes at any price above $35 on August 18, 2017, both options would expire worthless, and your return on the spread would be 23% (299% annualized).

We have found that the Investor’s Business Daily Top 50 List has been a reliable source of stocks that are likely to move higher in the short run.
