Micron reports earnings next week and recently failed to make a new high while underperforming the tech sector. Coupled with Micron's sell-off after last quarter's earnings beat suggests another move lower on earnings. Expecting MU to trade lower, Michael Khouw suggests buying a July 57.5/50 Put Vertical for a $2.70 Debit. As of Friday's close, this option is trading at $2.42.
