you think about nike. >> nike sounded the warning bells on emerging markets way earlier on the year. you can see how the stock started to move lower sometime in late spring and they have had some disappointments in china. if you are an investor in nike and that chart is interesting because it is maintaining that uptrend it has been in for a year -- >> a little carter braxton worth there. >> to me i think that chart is at an inflection point. when they report their earnings after this yum report and after what tiffany's had to say you have to be focused on this guidance. to me i think it sets up for a near term bearish play. >> so obviously dan is making a bearish trade on nike. here is how it works. this is a bearish strategy where you buy one put and sell a near dated put. you want the stock to fall below the put you are short by the second expiration so this requires timing. >> it is interesting in my opinion because you can buy outright puts or buy a put spread. i want to use the inflated what i think are the dollar prices are the weekly puts that expire next week and sell them. t

nike took a bad hit in the june/july period. nike plunged and has rallied feebly. it acts heavy.e think ultimately 85 bucks. >> lrlt all right. dan, where do you stan on this now? >> this is an interesting one. for those of you that follow us on twitter, this is a trade i've managed a couple times. i originally sold a weekly put expired, then sold the next weekly put against it. we updated that on twitter at cnbc options. then the other day on the weakness i turned it into a vertical. now i own the december 95 put spread for less than 20% of the width of the spread. i still have the event next week. let me tell you what i'm hoping to happen. the stock closed a little below 97. i want the stock to go to 95. i want a nice profit in it. i want to take it off before the earnings event and move on. that's really my idea not to have the risk. if there's any good data or commentary about chinese sales, stocks going up towards 100. >> is that what you would do? >> one way you could conceivably take a look at a bearish bet might be to sell a call spread on it when you decide to roll out o

nike had the leverage and the governor -- basically nike said, we need to jump to this and the governorhow high. at the cost of $13,000 to get the legislature back from vacation, he's going to make sure this passes. >> i hear you. all i'm saying is you lower the tax rates for everybody, that would really open up opportunities in oregon. but many thanks to brian shactman for a great report. >>> it's simple, changing tax laws will change behavior. that's it. and that's why it's been a very busy few weeks for the very wealthy in america. they're already making a lot of moves to prepare for all the tax hikes that are coming. robert frank is about to tell us about some of them. don't forget as always, free market capitalism is the best path to prosperity. lower all marginal tax rates for businesses and individuals and you'll get opportunity and you'll get jobs and you'll get growth. i'm kudlow, we'll be right back.
