Technicals

SQ has shown strength as a major horizontal level has come into play near $83 and the stock managed to close above it while the rest of the equity markets mostly posted notable losses in the past week. The upward momentum remains intact, mostly due to a strong earnings report. While above the $83 price point, this stock looks poised to make another run for all-time highs near the psychological $100 mark. SQ has traded in a range since 2019 and the bullish breach above $83 appears to be signaling a bullish breakout.

If you agree there's further upside ahead for SQ, consider this trade which is a bet that the stock will continue to advance over the next five weeks, at least a little bit.

Buy To Open SQ 03APR20 81 Puts (SQ200403P81)

Sell To Open SQ 03APR20 83.5 Puts (SQ200403P83.5) for a credit of $1.15 (selling a vertical)

This price was $0.02 less than the mid-point of the option spread when SQ was trading near $83.  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 $1.30 per spread.  Each contract would then yield $113.70 and your broker would charge a $250 maintenance fee, making your investment $136.30 ($250 – $113.70).  If SQ closes at any price above $83.5 on April 03, both options would expire worthless, and your return on the spread would be 83% (947% annualized).

Stocks will crash, but don't blame Coronavirus

One Finance PhD is calling for the end of this 11-year bull market - but not because of coronavirus. He says, "All of the great crashes in history have this in common. We saw it with tech stocks in 2000... housing in 2008... even Bitcoin in 2018. These bubbles look different to the untrained eye - but they all share the exact same trigger."

Here's what will bring the market to its knees.

IBD Underlying Updates February 29, 2020

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.  Recent additions to the list might be particularly good choices for this strategy, and deletions might be good indicators for exiting a position that you might already have on that stock.

As with all investments, you should only make option trades with money that you can truly afford to lose.

Happy trading,

Terry
