Four Ways to Be Bullish, Three of Them Will Hurt

A brutal case study. Intel closed above 92 and opened the next morning near 65, a crash nobody saw coming. Tom Preston takes the same bullish view into that print four different ways and prices every one. Long stock would have lost roughly 3,000 dollars, a long call about 560, a naked short put around 2,000. And the short put vertical, the same bullish bet with a long put underneath, lost 120 dollars, a number you could calculate before ever placing the trade. 📊 tastylive: https://www.tastylive.com/ 📰 Get Tom's pre-market analysis every morning: https://www.tastylive.com/newsletters 📘 FREE Options Strategy Guide: https://tinyurl.com/bp9ms763 📱 Follow tastylive on X: https://x.com/tastyliveshow Chapters 00:00 We're in the middle of earnings season 00:25 Intel's overnight crash 01:09 Nobody saw that coming 01:42 Four bullish strategies 03:27 What long stock would have lost 04:34 The out-of-the-money call 05:17 The naked short put 06:04 The short put vertical 06:58 Max loss, known in advance 07:54 Why defined risk changes everything #tastylive #cherrybomb #tompreston #intel #earnings #definedrisk #putspread #gaprisk #optionstrading #stockmarket tastylive is a real financial network, producing hours of live programming every day.
