IBM (IBM) Offering Possible 16.96% Return Over the Next 30 Calendar Days

IBM's most recent trend suggests a bullish bias. One trading opportunity on IBM is a Bull Put Spread using a strike $140.00 short put and a strike $130.00 long put offers a potential 16.96% return on risk over the next 30 calendar days.
