Equifax (EFX) Offering Possible 15.61% Return Over the Next 3 Calendar Days

Equifax's most recent trend suggests a bullish bias. One trading opportunity on Equifax is a Bull Put Spread using a strike $185.00 short put and a strike $175.00 long put offers a potential 15.61% return on risk over the next 3 calendar days. Maximum profit would be generated if the Bull Put Spread were to expire worthless, which would occur if the stock were above $185.00 by expiration.
