AAPL is trading ~~~ 272.7 my analysis says that---going forward to the first triple-witching for 2026---it will be traded below 260 using 3-20 expiration, first triple witching, sold this bearish CALL spread on AAPL. a 20-point spread. buy to open the 287.5 strike CALL contract, sell to open the 267.5 strike CALL contract collect a premium in advance of $9.05 defining my max risk of $10.95 risking $10.95 to win $9.05 on close of business, 3-20-26, should AAPL close below $267.5, i get to keep the $9.05 premium
used the $9.05 premium collected to defray the cost of this PUT on AAPL buy to open the $170 strike PUT---using May expiration---costing $10.88 net cost of $1.83 (10.88 - 9.05)
