How this GE Bull Call Spread Works

The bottom of the GE trade card shows us that we would buy one call and sell another with the same 31-May-24 expiration (this is a bull call spread as indicated on the top of the card).

Buy: 31-May-24 160 CALL

Sell: 31-May-24 165 CALL

Reasons to Like This Trade

  • You can buy this spread for $3.70 when theoretically it’s worth $3.94. Simply put, the market is implying a theoretical edge of 6.5%.
  • Your maximum gain is $1.30, which means you can make an astounding 35.1% return on your investment in 19 trading days! (That's if the stock closes at 165 or above. $1.30 / $3.70 = 35.1%) At the time of this alert, the stock was trading at 167.19.
  • The stock only needs to close at, or above, 165.00 after 19 trading days for you to realize this maximum return. Since the stock is already above your ideal price of 165.00, you have a cushion in the strategy. The stock can decline by -2.1% and you'll still break even. If the stock stays here or goes higher you will make your max gain.
  • 6 out of 7 indicators are pointing to a bullish sentiment in the stock, which is enough to believe there is a decent chance the stock price could hit its mark of 165.00. Look, nobody knows for sure if the stock is going to go up or down, but, if you had to handicap the stock price, these metrics are indicating that GE is really riding the momentum of bullish signals.
