Dear Friend,

I hope you enjoy this week’s trading idea.

Technicals

MU has been correcting lower since the end of May but is seen trading near an important technical inflection point, and has already shown signs of buyer’s protecting the area.  The support area is derived from a rising trendline that originates back to a low printed in August last year as well as a horizontal level at $49.62.  The rising trendline last triggered a bounce in May which led to a break to record highs.  The horizontal level carries psychological properties as it falls near $50.  The level acted as major resistance in late 2017 and is now seen as support.

If you agree there's further upside ahead for MU, consider this trade which is a bet that the stock will continue to advance over the next six weeks, or at least not decline very much.

Buy To Open MU 17AUG18 50 Puts (MU180817P50)

Sell To Open MU 17AUG18 52.5 Puts (MU180817P52.5) for a credit of $0.98 (selling a vertical)

This price was $0.02 less than the mid-point of the option spread when MU was trading near $53.  Unless the stock rallies quickly from here, you should be able to get close to this amount.

Your commission on this trade will only be $2.50 per spread (the rate charged by thinkorswim for Terry’s Tips’ subscribers).  Each contract would then yield $95.50 and your broker would charge a $250 maintenance fee, making your investment $154.50 ($250 – $95.50).  If MU closes at any price above $52.50 on August 17, both options would expire worthless, and your return on the spread would be 62% (580% annualized).
