Shares of Netflix Inc (NFLX) enjoyed a great 15.9% pop yesterday on encouraging quarterly results. That’s good news for NFLX investors – but I don’t think NFLX can fly above an increasingly heavy stock market for very long.

With the S&P about to challenge its 200-day moving average at 4233 and getting close to psychologically important 4200, the weight on investors’ minds could easily suck the air out of NFLX as investors scramble to capture profits on any profit they’re sitting on.

Action to take: Buy-to-open NFLX December 15, 2023 395/390 Put Spread. Pay up to $2.00. Plan on exiting the position for a 115% profit.
