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\u2013October 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 || ","author_name":"ITPM Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/www.itpm.com","html":"<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>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/37814015"}
