FEYE

FEYE: We have long & short options here peopleAfter analysts punished FEYE for a less that perfect earnings outlook, FEYE has retraced back to the trendline it fell from. However, volume over the course of the retracement has waned, which could be a sign things may get a worse before they get better. I have outlined my 2 ideas below. Short: FEYE falls through its major support line (purple line) that was previously resistance and forms a Head & Shoulders pattern. If this were to happen I would expect the stock to fall to $15, maybe even as low as $14 (good support found at both levels). Long: As was my original opinion, the stock falls back to the purple support line but the bulls "Hold the Line!!!" like King Leonidus and the stock heads higher. I would expect first profit taking at $19.36 and then again at just over $20.

THREE COVERED CALL IDEAS: WTW, NVAX, AND FEYE(?)WTW: Buy at 10.56/share; sell Sept 16th 11 call; 9.27 debit at the mid; max profit $173/contract (18.7% ROC). NVAX: Buy at 7.51/share; sell Sept 16th 8 call; 6.01 debit at the mid; max profit $198/contract (32.9% ROC). (I'm already in a similar NVAX trade .. ). FEYE: Buy at 13.95/share; sell Sept 16th 14 call; 10.67 debit at the mid; max profit $333/contract (31.2% ROC). The reason why I put a question mark next to the FEYE is that it's still gyrating about post-earnings and the pricing on the short call is unlikely to be accurate (it will change at open). So this may not be nearly as sexy at NY open as it looks to be right now ... .

NEXT WEEK'S "SHOPPING LIST" -- FEYE, ANFI, FIT, RTRX, MCRB(?)With broad market volatility abysmally low (VIX <12), it's a game of hunt and peck for "diamonds in the rough" in terms of premium selling. For the most part, I'm looking for sub-$20 underlyings here with high implied volatility for either selling naked puts (bullish assumption) or initiating covered calls where the purchase of the stock, combined with selling the first out-of-the-money call 30-45 DTE, will yield at least a 10% ROC if the stock is called away at the short call strike. The reason why I'm sticking with particularly low priced underlyings is (a) I don't want to tie up a bunch of buying power on these short-term (basically) engagement trades; and (b) don't want to take a lot of risk on dollar and cents wise. The max loss you can experience with an outright stock purchase, a covered call, and/or a naked short put is the risk associated with the stock going to "0"; less room to fall equals less room for loss. Additionally, the reason why I'm going covered call/naked short put over a short strangle/iron condor (my standard go-to's) is because you simply cannot get enough premium out of a short strangle or iron condor to make doing those on these low-priced underlyings worthwhile with those kinds of setups. With all that background in mind, here's what I'm looking at: FEYE: It announces earnings in a few days here, but the metrics are good enough to either go naked short put or to just dive right into a covered call. (Covered Call: 100 shares at 17.42; Sept 16th 18 short call for 1.54 credit; whole package, 15.95 debit; max profit 2.05 ($205); ROC 12.85%; Sept 16th 16 short put: 1.05 cr at the mid). ANFI: I've never played this little specialty foods company before. (Covered Call: 100 shares at 7.11; Sept 16th 7.5 short call for .75 credit at the mid; whole package, 6.70 debit; max profit .80 ($80); ROC 11.94%). This isn't the most liquid thing in the world, so whether the package is as "sexy" as it is in the off hours remains to be seen. FIT: This is a one trick pony, and I generally don't like one trick ponies; nevertheless, I'm glad to ride a one trick pony for a little bit if the premium is there. (Covered Call: 100 shares at 13.66; Sept 16th 14 short call for 1.23 credit; whole package 12.37; max profit 1.63 ($163); ROC 13.18%). RTRX: Another high volatility biopharma stock. I'd rather be put at $12 a share than $15, but the underlying is afflicted with odd-ball, $2 1/2 wide strikes to work with, so it's either 12.5 or 15 short put, if you decide to take that path. (Sept 16th $15 short put goes for 1.52 ($152) at the mid; Covered Call: 100 shares at 17.93; Sept 16th 20 short call for 2.30; whole package: 16.20; Max Profit: 3.80 ($380); ROC 23.5%). Unfortunately, the first short call strike above current price is at 20, so the underlying will have to move from 17.93 to 20.00 for you to get called away, so this might be a longer term sort of play than the others due to the short call's distance from current price. MCRB: This thing has tanked mightily, due to lackluster trial data on one of its drugs. There are other drugs in the pipeline, but the question is whether its losing some 70% of its value on Friday is a buying opportunity or the start of a long death spiral. Currently, I'm unable to get pricing on puts below the underlying's current stock price, so I'll have to take a look at it at market open.
