GOOGL

$GOOGL - Head & ShouldersAs I'm publishing this, $GOOGL bulls and bears are currently fighting it out as the bulls try to retest and regain the trendline support and H&S's base. Volume and CMF behaved as expected with a H&S. OBV still abiding by trendline support. Green channels are where I would consider taking bits of profit based on multiple fib levels (regular and trend-based), a fixed volume profile of the most recent range below, and the H&S objective of 1384.84 (purple line).

Amazon, Facebook, and Google Earnings - Who Won?This chart shows the immediate reactions of Amazon, Facebook, and Google earnings. Who won? Facebook is at all-time highs during this writing. It's also trading higher by more than 6%. The initial Amazon reaction is +4% and Google is +1%. Here's a breakdown of each report. These earnings report snapshots com courtesy of LiveSquawk: Amazon Q2 20 Earnings: - Net Sales: $88.9B (exp $81.24B) - EPS: $10.30 (exp $1.46) - Sees Q3 Net Sales $87.0B To $93.0B (exp $86.51B) - Created Over 175,000 New Jobs Since March Alphabet Q2 20 Earnings: - Revenue Ex-TAC: $31.60B (exp $30.45B) - EPS: $10.13 (exp $8.21) - YouTube Ads Revenue: $3.81B (exp $3.76B) - Google Properties Revenue: $25.1B (exp $24.55B) - Quarterly Decrease In Revenues 2% Y/Y Facebook Q2 20 Earnings: - Revenue: $18.69B (exp $17.31B) - EPS: $1.80 (exp $1.39) - Monthly Active Users: 2.70B (exp 2.63B) - Daily Active Users: 1.79B (exp 1.74B) The Facebook reaction says a lot to me and I have long been impressed with their sneaky entry way into online sales with Facebook Marketplace. I think next they will try to create a search engine that rivals Google. Of these three tech companies, it would seem Facebook has the most potential. That's just my opinion. What are your thoughts?

Implied Volatiliy a Risk Pre and Post Earnings AMZN AAPL GOOGLI want to point out two things in this post: 1. The elevated implied volatility before earnings on blue chips stocks is per se a risk factor due to high call open interest and the following reduction in implied volatility post earnings. 2. The SKEW index is signaling increasing tail risk. The first point: As I’ve pointed out in recent posts, high open interest has been a tailwind for stocks as market makers are short calls and forced to buy the underlying without any other purpose but to hedge. Before earnings, implied volatility (IV) on stocks rises significantly. For out-of-the-money options, the delta rises with higher IV (this makes intuitively sense because higher volatility means a higher probability for the option to get in-the-money). As IV rises before earnings, the sum of the delta dollars rises. This is forcing market makers to increase their notional hedges, i.e. they need to buy more of the underlying when their net short calls (status quo) in order to stay delta neutral. Post earnings IV falls . This is a risk when market makers are long the underlying stocks, and traders long the options. When IV falls (all else equal) the market makers may sell the underlying stock no matter how good the earnings reports are. The second point: The SKEW Index is derived from S&P500 options, and measures tail risk, which is the risk for outlier returns. When the SKEW is 100, the option market is discounting negligible tail risk. As the SKEW rises above 100, the tail risk is increasing. The SKEW is not a timing instrument, but worth watching as it reaches extreme levels (now >140). In summary: The large cap stocks have had an amazing outperformance as I’ve highlighted in recent posts. Even though they may beat earnings expectations, the structure of the options market may be a headwind post earnings. The SKEW is signaling higher tail risk.
