\"\"<\/p>\n

Buy the rumor, sell the news. After the announcement of the Fed rate cut that everyone and their grandmother knew about… stocks sold off.<\/p>\n

We’ve seen this before…<\/p>\n

In this case, it doesn’t seem to be enough to move the needle. Crude oil is back under 55 and the dollar is at highs relative to nearly everything out there.<\/p>\n

It’s not world-ending action. It’s pretty normal– markets have been fairly quiet for the past few months so a little more volatility is welcome.<\/p>\n

With that pickup in volatility, it’s useful to widen out your expected prices. Don’t use the past month’s price action as a guide for the future, because that was during a fairly quiet period.<\/p>\n

Trade #1: MU<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I want to see a fill of the gap from July 7th. The rising 50 day moving average will provide support just underneath it as well.<\/p>\n

Trade Setup<\/strong><\/p>\n

Expected Price: 41.35<\/p>\n

Sell to Open MU Sep 36\/34 Put Spread<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tier 1: Enter at 0.32, Exit at 0.02<\/p>\n

Tier 2: Enter at 0.44, Exit at 0.22<\/p>\n

Tier 3: Enter at 0.56, Exit at 0.34<\/p>\n

Trade #2: MSFT<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’ve been waiting for MSFT to finally catch some selling. I want to see a retest of the previous breakout level (or just above it).<\/p>\n

Trade Setup<\/strong><\/p>\n

Expected Price: 132.57<\/p>\n

Sell to Open MSFT Sep 125\/120 Put Spread<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tier 1: Enter at 0.80, Exit at 0.30<\/p>\n

Tier 2: Enter at 1.10, Exit at 0.60<\/p>\n

Tier 3: Enter at 1.40, Exit at 0.90<\/p>\n

Trade #3: GS<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nasty selloff today. Looking for followthrough to the gap open and the rising 50 day moving average.<\/p>\n

Trade Setup<\/strong><\/p>\n

Expected Price: 203.33<\/p>\n

Sell to Open GS Sep 185\/180 Put Spread<\/strong><\/p>\n
