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 - (JPM) – BUY
BUY the JP Morgan (JPM) May 2021 $135-$140 in-the-money vertical Bull Call spread at $4.30 or best
Trade Date: 4-5-2021
Expiration Date: May 21, 2021
Portfolio weighting: 10%
Number of Contracts = 24 contracts
If you don’t do options, buy the stock. My target for (JPM) this year is $200, up 32%.
I told you I’d be back in this name.
Bank shares have been joined at the hip with interest rates for the past eight months, and I believe that both rates and bank shares have much higher to go. With $10 trillion in new government spending about to be approved, but not funded, it can’t go any other way.
An upside breakout in the shares is therefore imminent.
I am therefore buying the JP Morgan (JPM) May 2021 $135-$140 in-the-money vertical Bull Call spread at $4.30 or best
Don’t pay more than $4.50 or you’ll be chasing.
That has given us a gift. (JPM) is the class act in the global banking sector, and CEO Jamie Diamond is the best CEO in the country.
I believe that massive government borrowing and spending will drive US interest rates up through the roof and the value of the US dollar (UUP) down. Banks love high interest rates because they vastly improve profit margins.
This is a bet that JP Morgan (JPM) will not fall below $140 by the May 21 option expiration day in 28 trading days.
Here are the specific trades you need to execute this position:
Buy 24 May 2021 (JPM) $135 calls at………….………$19.00
Sell short 24 May 2021 (JPM) $140 calls at………....$14.70
Net Cost:……………………..…….……...…..………….….....$4.30
Potential Profit: $5.00 - $4.30 = $0.70
(24 X 100 X $0.70) = $1,680 or 16.27% in 28 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.
