Sell Mueller Water (NYSE:MWA) May 12.5 calls for 80% Gain

Sell to close the May 19, 2017 call on Mueller Water (MWA) with a strike price of $12.50 at $0.40 or higher. Symbol (MWA170519C12.5)

Mueller is gushing higher with the market today. While I expect good news when the company reports earnings this Thursday (after market close with a call Friday morning), an 80% gain in five short trading days is too good to pass up.

These are May calls with roughly four weeks until expiration. The price of the calls will continue to rise if the stock remains above the $12.5 strike price so those wishing to hedge themselves can put a $.35 stop loss on their call position.

Hi Jeff,

Yes. My target is $18 and I have a buy up to limit of $13. The sell yesterday was on the calls, which moved up quickly. MWA reports earnings tomorrow so I would buy half of your full position now and then half after.

Best,
Linda
