This trade assumes that the underlying stock will NOT move down more than 42% in the next month. If these trades are done together (as I am illustrating) it is an INCREASED risk position. This is a Bull Put Spread (Credit Spread)
Position:
Buy QIUUA September 5 Put for $0.35
Sell QIUUU September 7.5 Put for $1.20
Net $0.85
Break even for this position is OSIR trades for $6.65 ($7.50 – $0.85) on expiration. Today OSIR is trading for $11.75. This would be a decline of $5.10 in the next month, or 43%. Possible, but not likely.
Maximum Loss would be $1.65/share (+ trading costs) OSIR – $5.00 or less.
Maximum Gain would be $0.85/share (- trading costs) OSIR – $7.50 or higher.
Assuming $.15/share trading costs the gain would be $0.70 ($0.85- $.15) for a return of 28% ($0.70/$2.50) in one month, or 336% APR.
