CSCO - Unusual option activity10,467 CSCO 47 strike calls expiring Feb 19th 2021 were traded at 0.89 in a single print above open interest of 1,141. Since we don't have visibility to what the bid or ask price was when these calls were traded, we have to look at this from different perspectives. 1.) Call Buying - This could be interpreted as call buying since one could argue that CSCO is trying to fill the gap from back on 8/13/2020. Note that the horizontal line representing the 47 strike calls is near the lows on 8/12/2020 just before it gapped down the next day. 2.) Covered Calls - These calls could also be covered calls. CSCO has had a good run from November through present day. Perhaps these are sold calls to hedge against a correction in the stock price. Let's follow the stock and this option's pricing see what happens. REMEMBER: Reference to specific securities should not be construed as a recommendation to buy, sell or hold that security.

My Monday Trade Possibility This is one of multiple possibilities and I will only be following through with one as price and timing has to be perfect. I love this opportunity as the Bollinger Bands have met a bottom point signaling a buy opportunity. Also the most recent candles have fallen deep into support territory and with the divergence indicator you can see that there is strong Bullish divergence along with MACD about to curve upward. I really like what I see and can vision DFS hitting $70 by Friday. That will be the call I purchase if the price and timing is right. Stay tuned and follow for updates!

WMT Forecast Will Walmart hit $150 a share by the end of the month? In order for WMT to hit $150 by the next 10 trading days is for the bulls to take control of the price. Here are some signals that the bulls are getting ready to run hard. First we can see on the hourly candlestick chart that the green shadow under the latest bear candles is growing. This means bull buying power is increasing. WMT has also fallen greatly below the moving average and should correct itself in the next coming days. Moving Average Convergence Divergence shows that the bears are at peak strength giving hope that they will loose steam in the upcoming days allowing for the bulls to take control. Bollinger Bands are also nearing a low in which a buy signal will be given. ( I will post a new chart when that happens) Finally the RSI on the 1 hour chart is 34.79 nearing underbought territory. When investors see that this company is underbought they will begin accumulating shares to rake in a nice profit. Fundamental Analysis: We are still waiting on a stimulus deal and a deal or no deal could bring WMT to a lower low or create the start of a new bull run that will go right into earnings. Technical analysis is great, but outside factors do have an impact on stock price as well. I am personally an WMT bull and have 6 long calls for it to hit $150 by 12/18/2020, I am currently down 25% on my position. Will give it a week pending stimulus deal and finding that strong buy signal from the Bollinger Bands. What are your thoughts on WMT for the end of the month? Please fell free to comment your thoughts below.

Options Idea: Buy The Jan. 21, 2022 INTC 40.0 Call @ $13.90Intel just gapped down after its last earnings release as margins tightened from almost 60% last year to 53.3%. Trouble lies ahead as well since Intel’s 7-nanometer manufacturing is delayed which will give AMD a 6 month head start to eat away at Intel’s market share. Intel has responded by initiating a huge $10 billion stock repurchase program. This is in addition to the Oct 2019 repurchase program already in place, bring total repurchases to around $20 billion. Even though Intel is in trouble, we think there’s an opportunity for a longer-term play. Observe the historic Price/Sales ratio for Intel in the weekly view. We are buying today at 2.75. We’ve marked entries over the last few years at the 2.75 PS level. Every entry would have been successful over a 1 year holding period. The 50 week average on the PS ratio for Intel is 3.32. Nevertheless, we like to reduce risk with options, so we are not going long in Intel. We are buying a deep in the money LEAP call on Intel today at $13.90, which gives us unlimited profit potential above $53.90 and limits our losses below $40. Since this is such a long term LEAP call, we have 16 months (or 72 weeks) to sell monthly or weekly calls against this position. So while our current breakeven point is $53.90, we intend to lower our cost basis through the sale of out of the money shorter term calls. This is strategy is called the poor man’s covered call. The important point is that with a $53.90 breakeven, the lowest priced call we can sell is $54. If we sell a lower priced call and INTC were to rise too quickly, the trade could lose money. Selling next month or next week 15 delta out of the money calls should produce more than enough income to compensate us for the loss of dividends on this position and reduce our breakeven to $51, which is where Intel was trading today when we opened our long position. Our objectives for short call income generation against this position are as follows: Initial Objective: $2.90 (Extrinsic Option Premium), reduces breakeven point to $51 Secondary Objective: $4.55 (5 Quarters Dividends on 100 shares) Stretch Objective: $13.90 (100% of capital recovered) If we complete our initial objective we’ll have recovered our extrinsic option premium, giving us the benefit of going long in INTC at no additional cost. If we complete the secondary objective we’ll have not only recovered the option premium, but also generated 5 quarters of INTC’s $0.33 dividend, making our position equal to a long position in INTC, but at 20% of the capital outlay. And our final stretch objective is to recover $13.90 over the life of this call, recovering our capital early. Standard Exit : We exit the trade for a profit when the PS ratio on INTC approaches 4. Early Exit : We exit the trade for a profit as soon as INTC has recovered the 50-week moving average. 20-INTC-03 Opening Date: Sep 1, 2020 Expiration Date: January 21, 2022 DTE: 507 IV: 35.81% IV Percentile: 69% Odds of Winning: 32.60% (before selling short calls) Odds of Losing: 67.40% (before selling short calls) Win: > 53.90 @ Expiration (before selling short calls) Loss: < 53.90 @ Expiration (before selling short calls) Reg-T Margin: $0 (long position, uses $1390 cash) Chart Legend Green Area: 100% Win Zone. If we finish above or in the green area, we’ve made a profit on our call. This is a long call, so our potential gain is unlimited. Red Area: If we finish in this area we have a loss. The size of the red area is the size of our maximum loss. Since we’ve bought a call instead of gone long, we have no additional losses below $40. 1 standard deviation, 2 standard deviation, 3 standard deviation projections from Opening Date to Expiration Date are included.
