If XLE is at or above $57.31 at expiration—the strike price plus the premium—the trade is profitable. At $60, for instance, the call is worth $5. During the past 52 weeks, the ETF has ranged from $26.98 to $56.65. It is up 40% this year, compared with a 16% gain for the S&P 500.\nThe trade’s profitability is predicated on the ETF reaching a higher trading range, which could become a reality if the gloomy predictions about oil prices and supply prove true.\nInvestors who would buy XLE at a lower price might consider a “risk reversal” trade—selling a downside put option and buying an upside call. The strategy, a favorite of this column, often enables investors to profit from rallies for free in return for agreeing to buy a security at a lower price.\nWhere this will end is anyone’s guess. Options offer a way to rent exposure to the theme through the next three months, providing investors precious time to evaluate a market twist that is old news to some, and a threat and opportunity to others.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"MPC":0.9,"PSX":0.9,"CVX":0.9,"COP":0.9,"XLE":0.9,"EOG":0.9,"SLB":0.9,"WMB":0.9,"XOM":0.9,"KMI":0.9,"PXD":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2021,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
