Today, I would like to make a suggestion on a stock that appears to be ready to bounce.
The stock is Citrix Systems, Inc. (CTXS).
I am going to suggest a debit spread, but I will suggest using short-dated options.
Here is the trade:
Buy to Open July 12th - $138.00 call @ $3.40
Sell to Open July 12th - $142.00 call @ $2.05
The net debit will be $1.35 per spread, with a maximum gain of $2.65 per spread.
Based on the nominal portfolio, limit the trade to 6 spreads or about .8% of the portfolio.
I am suggesting you limit the buy in to less than 1% of the nominal portfolio because the expiration date is only two and one-half weeks away.
