Top Trades for Thu, 03 Mar 2016 10:14 – LABU

Speaking of Biotech, I really liked that idea on LABU (Biotech Ultra-Long) from yesterday's webinar - enough to add it to the STP and the OOP (since they don't have longer options):

  • Sell 10 LABU Sept $5 puts for $1.35 ($1,350) 
  • Buy 10 LABU Sept $5 calls for $3.70 ($3,700) 
  • Sell 10 LABU Sept $9 calls for $2.20 ($2,200)

That's net $150 on the $4,000 spread (magic number today) and LABU is a 3x ultra bull so all IBB has to do is twitch higher and this thing pays off big.  I like it because the downside risk is owning 1,000 shares of LABU at $5.15, miles below the current price and that makes you long-term long on biotech - which we certainly want to be!
