Trade Ideas – week of 2022-04-18

4/17/2022 Plan:

This week we take a look at Take-Two Interactive (Ticker: TTWO)

4/17/2022 Plan (continued):

  • TTWO – Sell May 13 125/120 put spreads for 0.75 OR
  • TTWO- Sell May 6 125/120 put spreads for 0.47
  • Prices are as of market close 4/14/2022, actual fill and strikes may differ depending on Monday’s open, post will be updated accordingly.
  • All trades are for educational purposes and do not constitute advice

4/17/2022 Commentary:

Take-Two Interactive makes popular video games like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. The stock has moved around a Lot over the last year and this is a riskier trade – size accordingly. With TTWO just shy of $138, we have $13 before our short strike of $125 – almost 10% – and TTWO would have to hit a new 52 week low. Certainly possible, but I like the risk reward of the trade on the 13th.

Feel free to Reach out with questions on this or anything else!

4/18/2022 Entry:

Sold May 13 120/115 put spreads in TTWO for 0.50. Note lower strikes.

4/23/2022 Update:

The TTWO put spreads are down to 0.45, for a $5 profit per spread if we were to close the position now. With TTWO at $136, I plan to keep holding to try and profit more.

4/30/2022 Update:

TTWO dipped below our short strike on Friday as the broader market took TTWO down with it. This position still has a couple weeks on it and I plan to hold. Folks with smaller accounts can cut losses if they prefer.

5/7/2022 Update:

TTWO went down hard with the market and we’re underwater on the trade. Ideally we see a pop this week – if not, we’ll take the loss and move on.

5/14/2022 Close:

TTWO did not recover and we took the full loss of $450 per spread sold.
