Sell puts on volatility spike post earnings 

NESTLE NSIX

Description

SIMPLE STORY
Stock down on the back of disappointing earnings
Expect further weakness closer to the US open, as US institutions adjust their portfolios
This remains a quality defensive stock, quite compelling in the current toppish market context

SIMPLE OPTIONAL STRATEGY
Selling the June 16 puts with a EUR 69 strike indicatively brings in some EUR 2.00/share, or 8.5% annualized
If assigned, the put seller becomes long the shares at a net EUR 67.00/share, a compelling price some 6.5% away from here

Comment

CORRECTION - Of course the denominations of the above are in CHF, not EUR.
