there was a doji yesterday; it is also near the 62% retracement level. RSI is 33 in view of these indicators/signals, it's safe to say that we're close to the bottom again, let me remind you, im just an amateur
nflx had an impressive ERS last wk, the price has risen steadily on declining volume, think that it is poised for a pullback, sent a scouting mission (sell a 10-pt bearish CALL spread) to test the water using 11-26 expiration, bto 690 strike CALL, sto 680 strike CALL, for a credit of $4.5, defining my max risk to be $5.5
indeed made new plays on MSFT, whose X-Div date is late wk of Nov, using 11-12- expiration a risk reversal w a bias to the upside bto 330 CALL, sto 330 PUT for a credit of $1.82 a bullish CALL spread bto 330 CALL, sto 335 Call, net cost of $1.9
i think pypl down in reaction to V? For payments i got into DLO recently i think worth a DD; very excited for this. If expensive = quality, then this must be great 195 p/e haha.
Added some. Down over BTIG analyst downgrade, but the best CRWD analyst (at predicting earnings) i've seen (needham's Alex) just gave it a buy 19 days ago.
crwd has been volatile for me. so i only play way OTM cover calls credit spreads (pretty much risk free) and credit spreads which enable me to collect a premium in advance and to define my max risk. immediately after i had sold an april 320 cover call 1.5 wk ago, i placed this order to close the 320 CALL, and sell to open a Jun 340 CALL this order ( a scouting mission) just got filled, which tells me people just want to bet on CRWD, even on a down day they're hoping the CRWD will break thru the upper channel on 6th try btw, quietly, APPS is on its 7th attempt trying to break thru the upper trading channel
Your guess is as good as mine. My take on earnings here. If you holding a lot may be a good idea to trim or sell covered calls on some of the position. I'm happy with my current sizing just holding shares; hopefully it go up...
1.5 wk ago, when APPS was ~ 88, made this risk reversal play (w a bias to the up side) bto Nov 19 93 CALL, sto Nov 19 88 PUT for a net premium of 35 cents earlier today when APPS was 93, i buy back the short leg and sold a 93 strike CALL to morph it into a bullish CALL spread, while collect a net premium of ~$1.3. effectively, after netting a premium of ~ $1,65, i have this bullish nov 19 CALL spread working long 90 CALL, short 93 CALL, which could yield a max profit of $3
haha pretty sure it would boom *if* they did; but i have no insight on that. Unless its a special situ like MVIS, i think it's quite unlikely that a big company would talk about it? Sold 2 naked Nov puts at the open $45 strike for $3 to add to my shares.
Speak of the devil Pinterest TV launches, offering live-shopping episodes https://seekingalpha.com/news/3761532-pinterest-tv-launches-offering-live-shopping-episodes This type of thing is really pop in China, could be big for PINS. https://www.caixinglobal.com/2021-1...d-2-billion-of-goods-in-oneday-101790228.html
the bearish CALL spread for the scouting mission has just turned profitable suggesting a possible pullback. should it come to fruition, TA suggests that it'd fall below the 20 dma, to a level between 621 (38% retracement) and 609 (the high for Sept)
https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/cr...-data-layer-with-acquisition-of-securecircle/ Looks like another small, strategic acquisition. Now that they are earnings positive they are consolidating the industry.
@PWR swing trade? Looks like it has some real RF technology and a fundamental case to be made. Positive outlook in ytd's earnings + announcement of new customer win. Started position in HIMX. looks simply undervalued (i think over taiwan-china tensions?), and bouncing of the $10 support.
GLBE lock-up expiring next monday. Hot ipo which SHOP invested in. Not going to try shorting it, but if it tumbles could be a nice entry for a long HODL position. https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=1149537-96522 --- A company that i'm looking to go long puts on closer to earnings is PATH. Expecting a weak earnings. Hopefully it runs up on ark hype before that.
