[Options] The Bird is the Word
I’ve made no secret about it. I’ve been bullish on Twitter — the business — since I first discovered the power of the platform in 2009. To say that Twitter has profoundly changed my life for the better would be a vast understatement. Sure, the company has social, ethical, even financial challenges. But Twitter is one of those companies that if it disappeared tomorrow, it would have a huge negative effect on me. I can’t say that about most businesses I interact with.
Finding opportunities to invest in the stock of Twitter — $TWTR — has been a bit trickier. [Read more…]
[Options Premium] Discretionary Income
Scanning through the plays that appear in the latest All Star Chart Quarterly Playbook, I see many that have pulled back into support levels and/or near levels that we previously labeled as “bullish above.” This offers a clue that perhaps stocks are heading into a rest period. We’ve had a good run off the “Christmas Miracle” bottom and maybe here’s where stocks catch their breath?
With that as a backdrop, I scanned our universe of liquid ETF names and found a candidate to put an income trade on to benefit from any sideways action we may be headed into. [Read more…]
[Options Premium] Exploiting an Earnings Edge
With earnings season in full swing, unique opportunities with options often spring up.
It’s pretty common for the prices paid for options to increase leading up to earnings announcements. It’s a classic example of the battle of fear and greed playing out. On one hand you’ve got nervous shareholders purchasing insurance to protect themselves from any serious adverse price action, bidding the prices of puts higher. On the other hand, you’ve got shark speculators looking to participate in a sharp reaction to make a quick buck in either direction, adding further buying pressure to both puts and calls.
The astute options participant can use this battle to leverage into his own vision of the big picture. [Read more…]
[Options Premium] A Counter-trend Play in Energy
I don’t make it my primary business to go against the trend. Sure, it can be pretty satisfying and certainly pays well to nail a turn in a major trend. But it’s a tricky business that has left behind a graveyard of wannabe Heroes.
But every so often the stars align, risk is clearly defined, and supporting evidence suggests a turn may be at hand. [Read more…]
[Options Premium] First out of the Gate
The All Star Charts team has been drawing attention to financials and banks recently, putting forth the idea that the broader markets likely will not rally without banks participating:
We’re in the camp that Interest Rates in the US and Globally are set to mean-revert over the coming weeks and months, and if we’re right, that should benefit Equities as an asset class and Financials due to the rotation they’ve seen over the past several months.
And since we’re believers that the market is going higher from here, logic dictates we should be looking for opportunities in the banks.
ASC published a piece on Regional Banks earlier in the week highlighting a handful of names to keep an eye on for upside should certain levels be pierced. Yesterday, we had our first name pop up and declare it may be ready. [Read more…]
[Options Premium] On the hunt
There’s an opportunity developing out on the farm — everyone’s favorite farming machinery (and apparel?) company is setting up for a big harvest. While investors should take notice, opportunistic trader hunters like us have spotted a way to get in/out with a quick profitable trade before volatile weather appears on the horizon to spoil all our hard work. [Read more…]
[Options Premium] Burrito Run
Remember when Outrage Twitter was running wild with conspiracy theories about Chipotle poisoning its customers and the business was doomed? That was fun. You know who had more fun? Long term investors who turned off the “news” and stayed the course.
Earnings are coming up that may serve as a catalyst to launch the next leg higher in shares of $CMG.
There is potential for a 10-to-1 payout if we nail it and $CMG has a monster gap along the way to get us to and through our price target. But our aims are a bit more modest. We’re simply looking to capture some of the barbacoa in the middle. [Read more…]
