OPR 325: WMT FOMO Trade Aug 05, 2020

Show notes

OPR 325: WMT FOMO TRADE

On this episode, Brian summarizes last week's trade of buying put spreads in the Qs (Nasdaq 100 - Stock Ticker: QQQ). His trade for this week is selling a put to buy a long call spread in Walmart (Stock Ticker: WMT). He calls this a fear of missing out (FOMO) trade around earnings.

The Options Playbook is available on OptionsPlaybook.com, or on the Amazon Kindle edition.
