Peanut's Potent Plethora of Profit

[riverbabe]

This is what would have happened had you done in real life what I did on paper:

Net gain of $200 cash plus you would still be holding 3 $50 OCT calls (current value of $4,380) ... so the total return, if you sell the remaining calls, is $4,580.00 or 38.49% on the total investment of $11,900.00... geez, that's better then the 15.25% gain in the common stock, and it would have taken less capital

Not a bad one-day investment, huh?


GLF reports earnings tomorrow

'Tis the very reason I did take LULU in the POTW, sweet pea. (There's method in my madness, especially the madness incurred by getting TASR-zapped last week!) I just have to look at your picture again to get sane! Ah, what a picture, what picture...! River

UA reported outstanding earnings and raised guidance. It is up +17% in the pre-market to $65.00

Did anyone play the options? Looks like the straddle was a good idea!

This is what would have happened had you done in real life what I did on paper:

buy 10 $55 puts @ $4.40 = $4,400.00 cost
buy 10 $50 calls @ $7.50 = $7,500.00 cost
total cost = $11,900.00

next day after earning report:

sell 10 $55 puts @ $1.90 = $1,900.00 realization
sell 7 $50 calls @ 14.60 = $10,220.00 realization
total realization = $12,100.00

Under Armour option straddle

OK, since no ideas, yet... I'll paper trade this:

bought 10 Oct $55 puts for $4.40

bought 10 Oct $50 calls for $7.50

let's see if this will work...

UA reports earnings tomorrow. They can go one way or the other. This has been experiencing a short squeeze over the last month. I think there is an opportunity for an option straddle play here. Does anyone have suggestions to play some options on Under Armour? Thanks

This is a holding of mine in the MOMO portfolio, so my bias is long... but UA disspointed last time it reprted earnings....

Peanuts,
The numbers change daily. I'm not saying anything over 300 will do great, but odds are it will beat a 250. NOV score was unusually high that's why I mentioned it. It might rain all day tomorrow. If so I'll have lots of time to compile a list and will post the best ones here.

holy guacamole

Peanuts,
It's NOV, highest rated stock I've seen on my scale 357, few ever hit 300.

------------billyjoe

Excellent choice! It was up over 10% today on an outstanding earnings report. The score you gave it might go even higher, now. What are the other stocks that you know of with scores in the 300's? Thanks, billyjoe

S & P 500

I think SPX will be above the 1600 level in August.



But I would not be surprised if it goes to 1500, first....
