As a potentially profitable opportunity presents itself, John will send you an alert with specific trade information as to what should be bought, when to buy it, and at what price.
Trade Alert - (SPY)- BUY-DOUBLE UP
Buy the S&P 500 SPDR?s (SPY) June, 2016 $212-$217 in-the-money vertical bear put spread at $4.51 or best
Opening Trade
5-16-2016
expiration date: June 17, 2016
Portfolio weighting: double up from 10% to 20%
Number of Contracts = 22 contracts
You can pay all the way up to $4.65 for this spread and it still makes sense.
This is a bet that the S&P 500 (SPY) won?t trade above $212 by the June 17 expiration in 19 trading days.
And remember we are doing this into a potential Fed rate rise in June, which is hugely equity negative.
However unlikely, the market won?t fully eliminate this prospect until the Open Market Committee meeting has come and gone on June 14-15.
If you can?t do the options, buy the ProShares Short S&P 500 Short Fund ETF (SH) (click here for the prospectus at http://www.proshares.com/funds/sh.html), or the ProShares Ultra Short S&P 500 Short Fund 2X ETF (SDS) (click here for the prospectus at http://www.proshares.com/funds/sds.html).

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 with only 9 days to expiration.
