Trade Alert - (SPY)- BUY PUTS
Buy the S&P 500 SPDR?s (SPY) February, 2016 $190 Puts outright at $3.88 or best

Portfolio weighting: 5%
Number of Contracts = 13 contracts
You can pay all the way up to $4.50 for this put option contract and it still makes sense.
I am primarily adding this ?RISK OFF? position to hedge my risk in the ?RISK ON? (SPY) January $185-$190 call spread and the January $182-$187 call spread, which both expire in 5 trading days on January 15.
The failure of the market to rally in the face of today?s good news on the December nonfarm payroll and the China rally, means that the current rough patch may continue into next week.
If you can?t trade the options, stand aside. This is not a great place to initiate a new naked short.

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.
