DISH long hedged options play

Everyone knows DISH Network. (Fun fact: the name is an acronym for DIgital Sky Highway.) Colorado-based Dish also does business through Sling TV and offers mobile service via Dish Wireless and prepaid service Boost Mobile, with plans to offer wireless internet and its own video streaming -- they do own Blockbuster. Dish TV has about 10 million paid subscribers.

TA-oriented investors might spot some bullish signals, like the falling wedge and double bottom, while the price has recently moved above the MA. With the recent SPX / SPY / QQQ rallying, maybe it's time to consider a company at the crossroads of tech, infrastructure, media and entertainment. However, stocks' response to the latest jobs report and less-than-stellar Big Tech earnings might also give pause.

Here's an options strategy that captures growth potential of 13% (21% annualized) while also providing downside protection of 35% -- start to lose only if DISH falls below $9.99 as of 9/15/23.
