Humana Offering Possible 8.7% Return Over the Next 23 Calendar Days

Humana's most recent trend suggests a bullish bias. One trading opportunity on Humana is a Bull Put Spread using a strike $105.00 short put and a strike $97.50 long put offers a potential 8.7% return on risk over the next 23 calendar days. Maximum profit would be generated if the Bull Put Spread were to expire worthless, which would occur if the stock were above $105.00 by expiration. The full premium credit of $0.60 would be kept by the premium seller. The risk of $6.90 would be incurred if the stock dropped below the $97.50 long put strike price.

The 20-day moving average is moving up which suggests that the medium-term momentum for Humana is bullish.

Bloomberg – Consumers shopping on the Obamacare exchanges are thriftier than the general public, with more picking health plans based on price rather than their choice of doctors, a study found. While the general public prefers more expensive plans that cover a broader range of doctors and hospitals, 54 percent of those who are uninsured or who buy their own coverage select plans that cost less, even if they have less say in providers, the Kaiser Family Foundation found in a poll released today. “The individual market has always been more sensitive to costs,” Dan Mendelson, chief executive officer of the Washington-based consultant Avalere Health, said in a telephone interview. As millions of Americans join health plans created through the Affordable Care Act known as Obamacare, consumers, insurers and providers are paying attention to the balance between cost and coverage.
