When John identifies a strategic exit point, he will send you an alert with specific trade information as to what security to sell, when to sell it, and at what price. Most often, it will be to TAKE PROFITS, but, on rare occasions, it will be to exercise a STOP LOSS at a predetermined price to adhere to strict risk management discipline.
Trade Alert - (AAPL) – BUY
Buy the Apple (AAPL) June 2022 $125-$135 in-the-money vertical Bull Call spread at $8.90 or best
Opening Trade
5-10-2022
expiration date: June 17, 2022
Portfolio weighting: 10%
Number of Contracts = 12 contracts
If you don’t do options, buy the stock. My target for (AAPL) over the next year is $250, up 66%.
With the Volatility Index (VIX) at $32 today, it’s time to start loading the boat with risk again. Today, you can add call spreads that are so far in the money that it is almost impossible to lose money.
You would need a crash of Biblical proportions, on the scale of the 1987 crash, which the current state of the economy doesn’t justify.
I am therefore buying the Apple (AAPL) June 2022 $125-$135 in-the-money vertical Bull Call spread at $8.90 or best.
Don’t pay more than $9.30 or you’ll be chasing.
DO NOT USE MARKET ORDERS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
Simply enter your limit order, wait five minutes, and if you don’t get done, cancel your order and increase your bid by 10 cents with a second order.
This is a bet that Apple (AAPL) will not fall below $135 by the June 17 option expiration day in 28 trading days. For more about (AAPL) please click here for their website.
Here are the specific trades you need to execute this position:

Net Cost:……………………..….......….………..………….….....$8.90

(12 X 100 X $1.10) = $1,320 or 12.36%.

The best execution can be had by placing your bid for the entire spread in the middle market and waiting for the market to come to you. The difference between the bid and the offer on these deep-in-the-money spread trades can be enormous.
Don’t execute the legs individually or you will end up losing much of your profit. Spread pricing can be very volatile on expiration months farther out.
Keep in mind that these are ballpark prices at best. After the alerts go out, prices can be all over the map.
