Happy weekend!
Higher volatility in selected stocks has brought about some good put ratio trades like this trade in MSFT and this trade in DKS.
This week one more put ratio trade joins the party with a nice win in TXN.
This week:
$305 profit in Texas Instruments (TXN)
$305 profit in TXN
Just after TXN reported earnings, the stock dropped and presented an opportunity to enter a trade.
Because TXN can be volatile, I wanted to provide some protection to the downside and went with a put ratio spread instead of a regular cash-secured put.
I sold the $240/245 put ratio expiring Aug 21 for $305 credit.
If TXN dropped as low as $240, I could potentially make an extra $500 on the trade.
In the end the put ratio didn't come into play and the entire position expired worthless, which means I kept all $305 initial credit as realized profit.
This is winning trade #4 of 5 in TXN for a running total of $1,188 realized profit in 2026, and in fact I've already double dipped in TXN and am looking forward to sharing that trade update when it resolves.
This trade (and all trades in this newsletter) are shared in close-to real time to my private community as updates in my own portfolio (not recommendations). If you're familiar with the basic mechanics of options, you can consider joining the private community to view these updates as well.
