Section 8: Call Backspread
The stock is PayPal, the Ticker is PYPL, the date is September 11,2017.
The price of PayPal at that moment is $62.64. To put on this Backspread
here is how I will structure it. I am going to sell 1 of the JAN 62.5 Calls
and I will collect $4 in premium. I will use that premium to buy 2 JAN
67.5 Calls paying $1.905. The way I like to structure this trade is that
the net that I receive (4) I want that to be larger than the amount I am
paying. So I will receive 4 and I will pay 3.81 so it will be a net credit.
Whenever you set up these trades try to set up a net credit. PayPal's
stock has a very nice uptrend and looking at the PNL I am expecting a
very large move to the upside in PayPal. PayPal continues to move up
from September to January and then you can see the PNL really shoots
up in this backspread. Keep in mind when PayPal wasn't gapping
higher I was starting to not make a lot of PNL on this backspread.
