it appears that UPS has found support near the 50% retracement level, ~ 188.5, bouncing off it, heading towards ~38% level near 196. my eyes tell me that the new island formed near the 188/198 range, will reverse direction to join the upward-trend line (above 210) again. the price of UPS option contracts is relatively inexpensive, IV of ~ 21%; constructed a bullish Calendar CALL spread, w the 195 strike, Long Jan 2023, Short Sep 2021, net/net costing me $15. the strategy is to keep rolling-forward the short leg to a higher strike w a farther expiration date---collecting a monthly premium--- to where, at Jan 2013 expiration, I'd be cash flow positive on this spread, w the long leg gaining at least $30 points. w a stock price target of >$220 ,
GM has been side-ways since early Feb, next ERS will be on Wed i see a bounce off the low channel, going into the ERS. sold a Sep bullish 60/55 PUT spread, collecting $2.45 premium, defining my max risk to be $2.55

short covering on NFLX has waned. more timbering action to come. the support at the 50 dma has been broken. the fall is heading to the lower channel, below 500, just rolled fwd the short leg of my bearish PUT spread, 540/515 PUT spread, to a lower PUT strike w a farther expiration, and still collect a premium. this bearish spread has morphed to become 540/510 PUT spread
fwiw, TAs depict a bearish engulfing candlestick pattern, showing that sellers have overtaken the buyers and are pushing the price more aggressively down (down candle) than the buyers were able to push it up (up candle). https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bearishengulfingp.asp#:~:text=A bearish engulfing pattern is,signals lower prices to come.&text=The pattern can be important,it up (up candle).
I like CWH and other trailer park REITs, but that's a play on people not being able to own overpriced homes. Wood got in Hood. I guess if you're optimistic about the economy, why not?
looks like it recovered? no longer engulfing yeah? weird day, both cwh and peri slid on fantastic earnings at start of day, then slowly recovered. FLGT been showing strength, likely in sympathy with covid fears. Earnings next week.
makes sense. i don't know why it's trading so cheaply tbh. market seems to keep expecting growth to fall off a cliff after covid, but it's been a multi-year growth story as they roll-up smaller operators, and they beat and raised guidance for 6 qtrs in a row now, while CEO has been buying shares, the company has been doing buybacks, and they pay a decent dividend.
FRG with a pretty big beat in after hours. With my recent luck it'll probably tank tmr lol. https://seekingalpha.com/news/3724579-franchise-group-eps-beats-0_30-beats-on-revenue
Camping World Announces Increase in Stock Repurchase Program by $125 Million https://investor.campingworld.com/p...epurchase-Program-by-125-Million/default.aspx nice. put that FCF to work.
yes, that was yesterday, later in the trading day, lots of buyers came out to buy. this AM, so far, another bearish engulfing pattern forming. see if there is enough buyers to thwart the shortists' effort to take it down
GM missed slightly on Q2, owing to the chip shortage, but raised guidance for the rest of 2021 double down on the sept 60/55 bullish PUT spread; only this time i collected a premium of $2.75
Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD) jumps 65% after the stock resumes trading. That coincides with Cathie Wood's ARK Innovation ETF adding to its stake in HOOD. Maybe pop today is due to options started trading?
u have me confused w someone else. i have always like AMD/Lisa Su. but since Dec, i've been 1 for 4 insofar as profitable trades on AMD. been hesitant, and too much $ tied up w my bearish spread on NFLX, missed the set up on AMD
