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.

Since Walt Disney shares peaked yesterday at $$110, they have plunged an astonishing $9.
As cloudy as the near-term outlook is for Walt Disney, I love it for the long term. So do a ton of other portfolio managers who are willing to take some short term heat in order to get into one of the best-managed companies in America with some of the greatest digital assets.
I see 5% of maximum upside in the main stock indexes against 15% of potential downside. The market is now discounting a best case scenario, which is unlikely to come through.
I am therefore buying the Walt Disney Corp. (DIS) June 2020 $85-$90 in-the-money vertical Bull Call spread at $4.20 or best
I know prices are all over the map right now, but you get the general idea.
Only use a limit order. 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 raise your bid by ten cents with a second order.
Don’t pay more than $4.60 or you’ll be chasing.
If you don’t do options, buy the stock outright for a long term play.
This is a bet that Walt Disney shares will NOT fall below $90 by the June 19 option expiration date in 26 trading days.
Here are the specific trades you need to execute this position:
Buy 24 June 2020 (DIS) $85 calls at……....……$20.00
Sell short 24 June 2020 (DIS) $90 calls at….….$15.80
Net Cost:………………………….…………..…..….….....$4.20
Potential Profit: $5.00 - $4.20 = $0.80
(24 X 100 X $0.80) = $1,920 or 19.04% in 26 trading days.

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.
