PLAY: Buy the WDC February 43 Puts (FJI NQ) and the WDC February 46 Calls (FJI BT) for a total basket price around $2.95, good for the day. As is the case with all earnings-based plays, do not place any stop limit or sniper sell orders at this time.

Dear Bottarelli Research Member,

Let’s go ahead and move on the Western Digital (WDC – NYSE) earnings strangle that I outlined earlier. Specifically, let’s use the stock’s current $45 stock price to bracket a position around the 43 and 46 strikes. That way, we’re positioned to profit off any upside or downside move come tomorrow.

And as always…

Lock and load!
