Hi Shoppers,


After PayPal (Ticker:  PYPL) reiterated on Monday that they are considering adding stock trading to their platform, the stock jumped $11.


And has created a bull flag for the remainder of the week. Check it out: 



On top of the bull flag, Friday’s candle is a bullish engulfing candle.


I think PYPL is going to close the gap created on July 29th. That would take it back to $296.71.


Looking at the options, I like the Sep17 expiration cycle:


I like buying the Sep17 290-strike calls and selling the Sep17 300-strike calls, paying up to $2.90.


I will take my losses on this spread if it trades down to $2.00, and begin to take profits around the $5.00 area.


Thanks for Reading … See You Next Tuesday!
