Today we are applying a Bear Put on AMP.
Analysis:
AMP is trading at $1.90.
AMP is trading in a strong downtrend and has broken support today, breaking the pennant pattern it had been trading in since its lows in $1.60. This provides good bearish entry signals. There is plenty of room to the next support, and the increased selling volume we saw today presents conviction in the sell off.
A Bear Put is suitable because often AMP can track sidewards and/or drift for good periods of time. With a Bear Put, time decay can be positive, which means not only do you profit from sidewards movement, but you have the flexibility to wait for the fall.
