Possible Trade Outcomes: You Win Either Way
| Stock Price Outcome | What It Means For You |
|---|---|
| INTU stays above $300 | You keep the full $2,450 premium – 8.2% extra income over the next 354 days on cash that might otherwise earn you 4.0% or less. You never buy the stock and simply walk away with the cash. |
| INTU closes below $300 | You’ll be obligated to buy 100 shares at $300. But thanks to $2,450 premium, your effective cost basis is just $275.5 per share – a roughly 36% discount from current level. |
But to hold this trade with conviction, you want to see long term upside in the stock. Because if it comes to it, you want to be excited about buying the stock cheap.
