Technicals
BABA has been trending higher since late 2015 with a boost in upside momentum since the start of the year. The stock gapped higher following the last earnings report and recently broke to record highs without closing the gap. The 20-day moving average has held the stock higher since the middle of August and offers strong downside support as it resides within proximity of last month’s close of 172.47

If you agree there's further upside ahead for Alibaba, consider this trade which is a bet that the stock will continue to advance at least a little over the next six weeks.
Buy To Open BABA 27Oct17 175 Puts (BABA171027P175)
Sell To Open BABA 27Oct17 177.5 Puts (BABA171027P177.5) for a credit of $0.75 (selling a vertical)
This price was $0.02 less than the mid-point of the option spread when BABA was trading near $177. 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 $73 and your broker would charge a $250 maintenance fee, making your investment $177 ($250 – $73). If BABA closes at any price above $177.50 on October 27, 2017, both options would expire worthless, and your return on the spread would be 41% (357% annualized).

Changes to Investor’s Business Daily (IBD) Top 50 This Week:
IBD Underlying Updates September 15, 2017
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. It is interesting to see that MA was removed from the list this week. This seems unusual since the stock moved up almost $4 last week. This is the stock that is traded in the Terry's Tips portfolio called Rising Tide. This portfolio has gained 120% so far in 2017 while MA has gained 31%. We have almost done 4 times as great as the stock price increase.
As with all investments, you should only make option trades with money that you can truly afford to lose.
Happy trading,
Terry
