2026 July Stock Crash

Issue No. 240 – Sat 04 July 2026

Stocks edge higher in past 2 weeks.

 

There may be some rises early next week before Stock Crash.

In order not to miss the market, we have initiated a trade to short S&P 500.

The financial instrument is SPX PUT option.

S&P 500 closes on Thu 02 July 2026 at 7,483.

The strike we choose is 6,900 (about 8% below market).

Expiration date is: 31 July 2026.

The premium (our cost to acquire the PUT options) = US$13.00 per share.

We expect S&P 500 to fall sharply below 6,900 by the end of July 2026.

Alternatively, one can buy SPY (which is 1/10 size of SPX) to obtain the same results.

Here is our Portfolio, consisting of 19 contracts in SPX Put Options. Each contract has 100 shares.
