Analysis: With WAG demonstrating solid support at the 200 day average and with Volatility high, we put on a bull call spread. We're only risked $308 on this trade as our brokerage account was nearly maxed out at the time. Normally, we would have put on 8 contracts to risk $618. At December expiration, WAG closed at $37.58, easily covering the $34 strike price of the put we sold, yielding us the maximum 29% return in an 18 day period.
