Dykstra's Deep-in-the-Money Call: Sysco

Stock quotes in this article: SYY , FTO  

The stock is trading midway between its highest and lowest point in the last year. Yesterday it shed 44 cents, or 1.41% to close at $30.81. Its 52-week high is $35.90 and the low is $26.45

This is a solid pick that we can feel comfortable with. For that reason, I am placing a limit order to buy 10 January $25 calls (ZHKAE), paying $6.50 or better. Don't forget to place your GTC sell order $1.00 higher than the fill price so you can cash in on your $1,000 victory. In other words, if your order is filled at $6.50, you should immediately place a good-till-cancel (GTC) order to sell at $7.50. Cha-Ching!

Always remember: Life is a journey, enjoy the ride!
