Trade of the Day (AA) 7.6.2012

Unprofitable:  I lose money on this trade if AA closes above $8.57 or July 13, 2012.  The most I can lose on this trade is the amount I sold the Spread for $.57.

Risk: $43 per 1 lot

Reward: $57 per 1 lot

Chart: Bearish overall , but looking for a good risk vs reward that it tests back lower

Notes: I am playing this as an even money bet that AA will sell-off next week on earnings.

UPDATE 7.9.2012  This Spread is worth $.60, but I am leaving this trade on until earnings today after the bell.

UPDATE 7.21.2012  I covered this Spread at $.26 on the sell-off to my measured move target of $8.20.  Taking profits and moving on is how I roll.
