Mike Shorr’s AAPL Put Spread on Schwab Network

Mike Shorr went on Schwab Network with Apple (AAPL) down hard after a Jefferies note pushed shares below a key support level. He walks through why he skipped the calendar and the iron condor entirely for the put spread he used instead.

Mike covers:

  • The support level that broke and turned his AAPL outlook bearish before the trade even started
  • Why he passed on a calendar or iron condor here, even though volatility looked fair
  • The exact put spread strikes and expiration he used, and the reward to risk he’s got on it
  • What he’s watching heading into a heavy week of economic data
  • His read on what a soft inflation print would mean for the rate path
