New Options Trade: Big Upfront Income, Big-Dividend Blue Chip, Shortsighted Fear

People are afraid of what they don’t know, and even though this company is a well-proven large-cap blue chip, investors are unsure of it because it recently separated into a standalone company from another large cap blue chip. And because of this uncertainty, combined with near-term pricing pressures, investors are afraid. And we like that because it’s creating an attractive income opportunity in a big-dividend blue chip company with lots of cash that it is using to support the dividend, buyback shares and support the ongoing long-term success of the business. We believe this is an attractive trade to place today, and potentially over the next few trading days as long as the share price doesn’t move too dramatically before then.
