Trade Alert – (PANW) June 13, 2025 – BUY

When John identifies a strategic exit point, he will send you an alert with specific trade information as to what security to sell, when to sell it, and at what price. Most often, it will be to TAKE PROFITS, but, on rare occasions, it will be to exercise a STOP LOSS at a predetermined price to adhere to strict risk management discipline.

 

Tech Alert – Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (PANW) – BUY

Buy Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (PANW) July 2025 $180-$185 in-the-money vertical BULL CALL spread at $4.00

 

Opening Trade

expiration date: July 18, 2025

Portfolio weighting: 10%

Number of Contracts = 25 contracts

I like PANW in the next 35-day time horizon because PANW will be a sought-after company with all the digital conflicts breaking out around the globe. Cyber software is here to stay, and PANW opening this morning in the green shows great resiliency in the face of volatile macro news. I am willing to execute a deep in the money call spread even though we have had a V-shaped rally.

Here are the specific trades you need to execute this position:

Buy to Open 25 July 2025 (PANW) $180 calls at…………$20.50

Sell to short 25 July 2025 (PANW) $185 calls at………….$16.50

Net Cost:……………………..…….………..………………………….$4.00

Potential Profit: $5 – $4 = $1.00

(25 X 100 X $1.00) = $2,500 or 25.00% in 35 days

 

 

 

If you are uncertain about how to execute an options spread, please watch my training video by clicking here.

The best execution can be had by placing your bid for the entire spread in the middle market and waiting for the market to come to you. The difference between the bid and the offer on these deep-in-the-money spread trades can be enormous.

Don’t execute the legs individually or you will end up losing much of your profit. Spread pricing can be very volatile on expiration months farther out.

Keep in mind that these are ballpark prices at best. After the alerts go out, prices can be all over the map.
