Technicals
MTSI has been in an uptrend since late 2012 and broke to an all-time high in the past week. The technical break followed an 8-week consolidation below a horizontal resistance level at $61.25 which is now viewed as strong support. MTSI surged above the level on Thursday and held near its highs into the weekly close to offer confirmation of a sustained bullish break.

If you concur that there's further upside ahead for Macom Technology Solutions, 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 MTSI 18Aug17 55 Puts (MTSI170818P55)
Sell To Open MTSI 18Aug17 60 Puts (MTSI170818P60) for a credit of $1.18 (selling a vertical)
This price was $0.02 less than the mid-point of the option spread when MTSI was trading near $63. 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 $116 and your broker would charge a $500 maintenance fee, making your investment $384 ($500 – $116). If MTSI closes at any price above $60 on August 18, 2017, both options would expire worthless, and your return on the spread would be 30% (395% annualized).
