2007 has come to a close. The Santa Claus rally didn’t really do much this year and we ended on a down note.

Well, I promised I would take a look to see to see if there were any good trades out there before the end of the year. Guess what, I found one. This bull put spread has a solid return with very, very reasonable risk.
