In this episode, Ben Berggreen breaks down a high-conviction short opportunity in the energy space, triggered by a sudden shift in ISM sector data and weakening fundamentals in major oilfield service companies. Focusing on Schlumberger, he outlines a bearish calendar put spread targeting downside into earnings, with a 3:1 reward-to-risk profile. Ben also explores a broader macro angle, noting softening crude oil positioning among large speculators and offering an alternative, simpler XLE put play to capture a September–October market pullback. Both setups aim to combine macro, fundamental, and technical alignment for maximum edge. &amp;nbsp; ITPM Flash Episode 86 A Slippery Slope with Ben Berggreen || Filmed 11-Aug-2025, Uploaded 14-Aug-2025 || ITPM Podcast https://www.itpm.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/37814015/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/37814015
