  • On to the other bearish trade. Riskreversal.com’s Enis Taner set his sights on industrial giant, General Electric (which is also 49% owner of NBCUniversal and CNBC).

Despite these concerns, the stock has been trading around one-year highs, while other companies with similar international exposure has seen their stocks get punished— Caterpillar would be one example. Enis thought GE would follow CAT down.

    To make a bearish trade, he suggested buying the August 19/17 put spread for $0.30. His trade and payout are below.
