Stock / Symbol: Verifone Systems / PAY
Option Strategy: [private_monthly]bull put spread[/private_monthly]
Price at trade post: $35.48
Reasoning: Looking to take advantage of a nearly 37% drop in PAY's stock price from it's recent high. [private_monthly]Putting on a bull put spread here, which allows the stock to drop another 12.5% and still be profitable. If the stock rebounds, we'll look to add a bear call spread, making this an iron condor. If PAY trades down to $32, we'll adjust by rolling to a further out of the money spread.[/private_monthly]
