New Positions


Options Play: Cummins (CMI)

Position: CMI, Apr20, 120/125 Bear Call Spread, 4 Positions, 68% Allocation

Portfolio: Options

Analysis: We are continuing to add more bearish positions to the mix. CMI looks weak right now. The stock broke its 50-day MA today and has been declining for a couple weeks while market was still moving up. The company has declining revenue and earnings year/year to report in April, and we believe that slowdown will keep shares in check. A lot of open interest in shorting calls as well.

Entry: 0.75 or higher.

Exit: 0.25 (1/2), 0.05 (1/2)

Stop Loss: 1.10 (1/2), TBD

Timeline: Midterm Trade

Our Entry: 0.80


Good Investing!
