Strategies to consider
Bullish outlook - buying call options
For those optimistic about Adobe's prospects, buying the dip could be a golden opportunity. Through options, this strategy morphs into purchasing a call option, allowing you to capitalize on potential upward movements without owning the stock. Here's a setup for your consideration:
Strategy: buying a call option
- Trade setup:
- Action: BuyToOpen
- Quantity: 1
- Expiry: 21-Jun-2024
- Strike: 450
- Premium: $135.15 (per share)
- Premium and risk:
- Premium cost: $135.15 x 100 (per contract) = $13,515
- Max risk: $13,515 (if Adobe is below 450 at expiry)
- Max reward: Unlimited (potential gains amplify as Adobe's stock price rises)
- Breakeven Point: $450 (strike) + $135.15 (premium) = $585.15
- Comparison with buying stock: Leveraging the stock's potential upward movement while limiting the downside risk to the premium paid. It requires a smaller initial investment compared to buying 100 shares at the current price of $541.07.
