Baidu (BIDU) Offering Possible 58.73% Return Over the Next 9 Calendar Days

Baidu's most recent trend suggests a bearish bias. One trading opportunity on Baidu is a Bear Call Spread using a strike $167.50 short call and a strike $172.50 long call offers a potential 58.73% return on risk over the next 9 calendar days. Maximum profit would be generated if the Bear Call Spread were to expire worthless, which would occur if the stock were below $167.50 by expiration. The full premium credit of $1.85 would be kept by the premium seller. The risk of $3.15 would be incurred if the stock rose above the $172.50 long call strike price.
