From: Paul Barrett To: Jeffrey E. <jeevacation(4:gmail.com> CC: Richard Kahn • Subject: New Idea for your approval Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2018 17:49:33 +0000 Inline-Images: nnage001.jpg Jeffrey, New Trade Idea: SPX down 1.50% today on tariff fears. • I recommend buying a position in each of the following: o Jul 280 SPY calls for $0.40 o Aug 280 SPY calls for $1.44 o Implied vol at 10%. o Tariff related sell-offs have offered good trading opportunities. The risk around retaliation is growing but if we can buy these calls with a 10% implied vol, I think these could work very well at the first sign of any reconciliatory comments from Washington. I would look to trade out of these if we get a bounce back to 2750 on SPX this week. If we don't get the bounce by Friday I would sell. Also to further clean up the portfolio I would recommend the following over the coming days: 1. Sell BUD. It is a small position with too much reliance on EM to make a meaningful impact right now. 2. Sell BAC. Also a very small position. Would rather re-allocate to KRE (regional bank exposure). 3. MSFT, AVGO and Equinix — part of the data center theme. I think this theme has legs but MSFT and EQIX positions too small. Sell those. 4. JD.Com - sell if it drops below $38. It is the Amazon of China. However it cannot seem to break higher due to margin concerns. Currently at $39.43. Paul Paul Barrett Alpha Group Capital LLC EFTA00944075
