Trade of the Day (SPY) 5.25.2012

Unprofitable I lose money on this trade if SPY closes above $134.25 June 1, 2012.  The most I can lose on this trade is the amount I paid can be worth $1 minus the price I sold it for, $.25 for a total of $.75.  

Reason I Like This Trade:  I think the SPY is in a “Sell the Rally” mode, so I want to get short on any rally.  I make money on this trade if the SPY goes down, flat, or up a little bit

UPDATE 5.29.2012  With time on my side, even with a nice rally today in the stock market, this Spread is only worth $.28.  I like selling premium in the weeklies.  I will leave this Spread on as I think every rally in the stock market is a sale.

UPDATE 5.30.2012  With the stock market selling off, this Spread is currently worth $.16, but I am still leaving it on for more potential profits.

UPDATE 5.31.2012  I took this spread off today for $.03, it was not worth risking $97 to make $.03  Another winner at KOTM
