This Weeks Three Top Stock - Blended Price Chart for PerformanceThese are this week top three stock plays with a custom chart showing how they all move going forward. These are expected to rally within a 21 day window.
CY
AMD Long Earnings PlayWe have the thought that AMD is selling the shovels to the cryptocurrency rush. With that being the case, their performance within their GPUs have been able to be a stand out product within the industry. We think this quarter will be a special shiner because of the reduction in inventory. One thing to keep a definite read on is what is said by AMD during the conference call regarding GPU sales and keeping up with demand, as well as guidance for the next quarter to the rest of the full fiscal year if stated. The taking on of Intel is a very good move in our opinion and appreciate that they're taking advantage of diversifying their business at the hand of someone else leaving a market behind to pursue another (AI technology with Nvdia).

CY is it rocketing or what?I had CY (as other semiconducotrs) in my radar. I missed the first retracement on beginning of november (I was looking at NVDA and AMD and defense stocks). But last days I came back at CY and today I read also this good analysis realmoney.thestreet.com
"In this long-term Point and Figure chart of CY, above, we can see that prices are in a longer-term down trend from 2011, but a breakout would give us an upside price projection around $22. Not a bad move. We could get there slowly or a potential M&A deal could help CY get there a lot faster"
My question is: is CY start to rocket to 22$ or is in some other situation?
AB retracement was perfect, was looking for a C point but then CY is going UP... what to think?
CY ; long? hello, I'd like - if possible - some feedback about CY > is it going to pass median line?

I had CY 3.53% (as other semiconducotrs) in my radar. I missed the first retracement on beginning of november (I was looking at NVDA 0.02% and AMD 8.12% and defense stocks ). But last days I came back at CY 3.53% and today I read also this good analysis realmoney.thestreet.com

PREMIUM SELLING CANDIDATES FOR TUESDAY -- CY, HOG, POTWith broader market volatility bleeding out of the markets, I'm on the hunt for non-index premium-selling plays, and there are a few that have popped up on my radar. That being said, earnings season is nigh, so it might be best to be particularly selective as to individual underlying plays, keeping powder dry for the actual earnings, rather than pulling the trigger here such that you have to guide the setup around the actual earnings announcement. In any event, here are a few to look at:
Individual Underlyings
CY: implied volatility rank 100, implied volatility 78. The unfortunate thing about Cypress Semiconductor from a premium selling standpoint is its price, which limits the profitability of iron condor/short strangle setups. Where this is the case, the go-to is a short straddle. Preliminarily (looking at off hours quotes here), an August 19th 10 short straddle will bring in $228 in credit with break evens at 7.72 and 12.28, which would fit in nicely with CY price action. However, if you're looking to take the straddle off at 25% max profit (the usual goal for straddles), you're not looking at a tremendously great play here, even though these little "grounders" add up over time ... .
HOG: implied volatility rank 100, implied volatility 63. Preliminarily, an August 19th 42.5/65 short strangle would bring in $168/contract, the drawback being that the underlying only offers monthly expirations ... .
POT: implied volatility rank 70, implied volatility 51. Like CY, you won't be able to get much out of a play if you go short strangle or iron condor, leaving you with a short straddle as the go-to setup. The August 19th 17 short strangle will bring in $227/contract credit with break evens of 14.73 on the lowside, 19.27 on the topside which is not a bad fit for what POT is doing on its chart (essentially, sideways chop between 15 and 20).
Exchange-Traded Funds
The ETF space is not looking particularly attractive here, with the vast majority of them sub-50 in implied volatility rank. The one standout is SLV (coming in at 70), but you won't be able to get much premium out of an SLV play due to fairly low implied volatility (currently 34, which is fairly high for SLV), although it looks enticing for some kind of directional play (bearish assumption).
