New Call Position in XLF

KDK Options has purchased call options in XLF today. The July $25.00 strike price was purchased. The cost was $0.37 before commissions and fees. The expectation is that the option will rise to $1.00. Some reasons for the purchase are below:

- Continued upward trend in financials
- 10+% movement upwards before hitting 52 week highs on most financials
- Increasing pressure to raise rates

Headfake or Breakout for SPY

The SPY is looking like it is again reaching the top of a range that has existed since late October 2014. It has been in the 200-207ish range during that time. But in this process, there have been lower and lower highs each time after hitting the 200 support. That is until this week's movement. The question is if this a head fake, or a breakout. 

It seems to be more and more clear to KDK Options that the next leg for the SPY is going to reach either 180 or 220 by the end June of 2015. On the upside, that represents a little more than a 6% move from today's prices. On the downside, the gain would be about 13%. But using options will be a major lever in finding profit in this case.

KDK Options is looking at the different options pairs that might fit a trade with these expectations. Specifically, are there any call/put option combinations that can have a profit when one is fully valued and the other is worthless at the end of the trade? If we find a pair to trade, we will update the post.

Good luck to all!
