With the rising popularity of weekly option contracts, many investors are choosing to trade weekly bull call spread option strategies as opposed to simply going long stock. The thought process is that by trading the weekly contracts you are able to more quickly adjust and profit from moves in the overall market. On today's show, we use our backtesting software to analyze the results of a weekly bull call spread in DIA and its performance compared to a monthly bull call spread in DIA. Naturally, this options buying case study will be very interesting for those investors who feel they have some sort of directional edge when markets are trending higher.
