This particular bearish-to-neutral credit spread on the iShares NASDAQ Biotechnology Index (IBB) offers a large credit (47% return on risk) and provides the potential opportunity to benefit from a pullback in the broad equity market. If a decline takes the IBB to support at $70, traders will be able to buy this spread back for a profit before December expiration.
