How to Use Options to Leverage a High Return on FB

While Facebook's stock price has been heavily undervalued by 23%, it is still a very profitable company with more than 86% Gross Margin. We believe META's stock price will continue to go up and up in the future.

Facebook stock price has recently dropped to close to 200-day Moving Average. From last year's price trends, FB stock always rebounded before crossing the 200-day MA, so there is a high probability META will go up again.

FB stock price would either rebound at 100 or 200 day moving averages.

If we buy Facebook stocks to anticipate the price to rise, we and expect 23% return according to Trefis.

A good way to increase leverage is to trade options instead. We can buy a Call option close to the current market price, and receive a huge profit when the stock price go past the strike price.

Since FB is $260 right now, we can buy a Call at $265, and sell a 255/260 Put Spread to reduce the cost of the long Call.
