Live Bear Put Spread Setup for AXP

What is a Bear Put Spread?

A Bear Put Spread involves buying an in-the-money put and selling an out-of-the-money put at a lower strike.

When to Use It

Use when you expect a moderate decline in the stock price and want to hedge or profit with defined risk.

Advantages

Cheaper than buying a put outright
Max loss is limited to the net debit paid

Disadvantages

Profit is capped if the stock crashes
Requires the stock to move below the break-even point
