That’s the remarkable track record Micah Lamar boasts with the “Perfect Apple Trade.” And Micah is sharing details on how others can get in on these trades. [Click here to see the broadcast now]( [] --------------------------------------------------------------- [] [] This Isn't Good [Garrett Pic] Market momentum is Yellow, but it’s hard to trust the move as the S&P 500 bounces against resistance. Moreover, the markets are betting against the Fed while coming off oversold conditions from Friday. As a result, I’ve held SPY since Monday morning, but I’m not looking to trade much else in this environment until I indicate that a sustainable rally is in order. Dear Investor, Today, OPEC+ - the global energy cartel that dominates the international energy market - announced plans to cut oil production by two million barrels per day. This news is a huge blow to the United States, which had jockeyed for more production from Saudi Arabia in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The following chart notes that Russia and Saudi Arabia will account for more than one million barrels combined. This suggests that the two nations are cooperating to help elevate prices for the foreseeable future. This is a major blow to the Biden Administration. For months, the Biden Administration has sold one million barrels daily from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. That has helped lower oil and gasoline prices here in the United States. But the government is slated to stop this effort in October. As a result, the Reserve has only 22 days of U.S. demand left - raising severe red flags about the nation’s energy security. Meanwhile, U.S. energy companies have started to reduce production - largely thanks to concerns about a recession and lingering worries about energy policy that has deterred investment in the space. Saudi Arabia has created a floor for Brent crude prices (the global oil benchmark) at roughly $90 per barrel. WTI crude - the U.S. benchmark - is rising in response. The Biden administration is looking at new policies that might help reduce prices at home - especially ahead of this election. I’ve heard speculation that the administration could consider a ban on U.S. oil exports. This proposition would be disastrous to the global economy in an energy crisis and chip about $45 billion in GDP away in 2023. This would be a modern version of putting tariffs on the economy during the Great Depression. It’s a short-term Band-Aid that would have global repercussions. Assuming that oil prices find support at the $85 to $90 level, now is the time to pounce on the oil producers in the Permian Basin. I’ve long championed Devon Energy (DVN), ConocoPhillips (COP), Occidental (OXY), and Marathon Oil (MRO). But instead of just buying the stocks at today’s prices, consider this trade. Credit Spread Today, Occidental Petroleum traded at $67.74. At this price, it might be a bargain. But why buy 100 shares at this level, when you can sell a credit spread and lock in a price that may be far more attractive. Warren Buffett and his company Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) have been loading up on OXY stock every time shares fall to the $57 to $59 level. Let’s take advantage. If you sell the November 11, 2022, $58 put, you can generate $1.34 for that credit. This means you’d receive $134 for every contract for 100 shares. But just selling puts would require at least $5,666 in margin. That doesn’t work. So, you can then purchase the November 11, 2022, $55 put for $0.87 (or $87). This creates a spread that gives you a credit of $47 and a breakeven on OXY stock at $57.53. Now, you won’t need as much margin. You’ll effectively risk $253 to generate an 18.6% return over the next month. So your probability of profit is north of 83%. I want to stress what this means for you. Imagine that you bought 100 shares of the stock for $6,700 today. If the stock falls to $59 by November 11, you will LOSE $800. But if you sell the credit spread, the stock falls to $59 and never falls under the strike price of the put you sold, you’d make money. The potential return here is 18.6% in less than 35 days (or 178% annualized). In this market, it’s tough to time when oil prices might rise higher and higher. Instead of chasing stocks higher with high-priced options, consider improving your profit probability and shooting for annualized gains that are well into triple digits.
