Stock / Symbol: Groupon / GRPN
Price at trade post: $22.52
Option Strategy: [private_monthly]bear call spread[/private_monthly]
Reasoning: [private_monthly]We are taking advantage of today's 2.8% move in the S&P 500 to place a bearish bet on GRPN, a stock that fundamentally is worth only about $3 a share and can easily re-test its recent lows of $14.85. This bearish trade allows us to profit as long as GRPN stays under 24 by this Friday. This trade has a 80% probability of success and allows GRPN to rise another 6.5% this week and still be profitable. Be sure to adhere to our upside stop to minimize potential losses.
