OPTION TRADE OF THE DAY!
02/03/2010
MARKETS-LOOKING AT EXTREME RANGES
The aftermath of recent moves and volatility in the financial & trading world is that a number of futures contract are trading at or near historic highs. As many of the elements which drove markets to the extremes subside or evolve (or consumers balk at prices), we are looking at opportunities to take advantage of the downside pullback in many of these markets using plain vanilla option strategies.
We like buying out of the money puts in October 2010 Sugar (1400 strike) for about $200, Sept 2010 Cocoa puts (2100 strike) for about $200.00, Sept Eurodollars puts (9900 strike) for $350. This trade will also work well using a bear put spread. Also take a look at August 2010 Gold puts ($750.00 strike) for $250.00. All of these trades will include a commission cost.
Your risk will be limited to the premium paid for these options plus commissions.
Please contact us with any questions or assistance in placing these trades.
