Power generators look poised for relief as O&G prices fallA Mean-Reversion Play
Power generators like NRG and PNW have been quite beaten down lately, mostly because of surging oil and natural gas prices as we head into winter. NRG is .8 standard deviations below its mean, with 82% upside to its median price multiple of the last 3 years. PNW is currently trading about 3 standard deviations below where it usually trades in relation to its 200-day EMA, with 29% upside to its median price multiple of the last 3 years. In my opinion, NRG has more attractive fundamentals, but PNW has the more attractive chart. PNW looks particularly ripe for mean reversion here.
Fundamentals
NRG trades at less than 4 price to free cash flow (P/FCF), which makes it a really good value here. It has a forward P/E below 5 and a forward P/S below .4. S&P Global gives its fundamentals an average score of 87/100, and it has an average analyst rating of 8.7/10. It has 28% upside to the average analyst price target. Of the stocks I follow, NRG's price ratios are in the 92nd percentile, and its price-growth ratios are in the 62nd percentile. So it's cheap on both an absolute basis and when you factor in its rate of growth.
PNW's fundamentals are less attractive. The company has been cash flow negative for a couple years. Its price-to-earnings ratio is just under 14, and its price-to-sales ratio is just under 1.9. Its dividend yield is higher, at 5.4% vs. NRG's 3.8%. But it needs to generate cash flow in order to sustain that dividend. PNW's ESG score is really high, at 2.75/3. It gets just a 35/100 fundamentals score from S&P Global and a 4.7 average analyst rating, however, and it has only 7% upside to the average analyst price target. Relative to the other stocks I follow, PNW is expensive, in the 26th percentile for price ratios and the 11th percentile for price growth ratios. So this is probably not a long-term hold for me.
Open Interest a Contrarian Indicator
Open interest from options traders on NRG is quite bullish, with put/call ratio at 0.6. Open interest on PNW is bearish, with a put/call ratio of 1.4. However, I've recently done some back-testing and discovered that open interest is actually a contrarian indicator in recent data. So the bearish open interest on PNW actually implies a better short-term return. The extremely negative z-score I mentioned in the first paragraph also tends to be correlated with high returns in my back-testing. So my algorithmic trading account has gone pretty heavy on PNW, whereas in my discretionary account I am overweight NRG.
The Catalyst
Power generators have recently gotten crushed due to rising natural gas and oil prices, not to mention uranium. Because power generators are so heavily regulated, it's really hard for them to pass rising fuel costs along to their customers.
However, natural gas prices are down sharply off their highs, and oil and uranium both pulled back a bit today:
If this continues, power generators may fly. NRG looks to be finding some support, and I particularly liked the price action in PNW today.
Both NRG and PNW are coming off better-than-expected earnings reports, but NRG's results excluded some large costs related to winter storm Uri, and PNW reported several very unfavorable decisions from Arizona regulators.
Part of the reason for NRG's outperformance is that it was well hedged against rising fuel costs. NRG announced that it will raise its dividend by 8% in the first quarter of 2022 and that it is paying down debt at a pretty impressive rate as it works toward an investment-grade credit rating. NRG paid down $255 million of senior notes through September 30, 2021 and plans to continue reducing its senior notes balance through 2023. This is just a really well-run company, IMO, which makes it a good long-term hold.
$LC mean reversion long idea, offers 100% upside. Strong growth.$LC mean reversion long after the stock has drifted significantly lower, company is under valued here and doing triple digit earnings. Expecting buyers to show up around this demand level and shorts to cover causing a nice snapback in price.
#GBPUSD long opportunityAs I said a few days ago there is a good potential for GBPUSD bullish move, and since then price has formed a falling wedge which eventually broken to the upside on Friday.
Because of the chart pattern bullish breakout, now we could look for buying opportunities, specially any pullbacks to our falling wedge.
Right now price is forming a bearish corrective move in 1H and 4H time frame. As a result I'm looking for lower time frame structure change to the upside and open a long position on this pair.
Keep in mind price can easily return to the wedge and manage to stay bearish for quite some time.
$FB Primed to BounceFacebook $FB is fundamentally and technically undervalued relative to the market $QQQ, with a forward p/e of 20 it's cheap for a big growing tech stock. Today's price action formed a bullish hammer candle pattern with the price under the lower Buy Sell Band making for a good long entry. Range Strength indicates the price is non-trending and we're 7.71% below the 50 day MA giving us a good risk/reward for a mean reversion trade.
$PTON LONG VWAP/Average Price Analysis#PTON Average price ever paid for this stock was $79.04. Average VWAP price ever paid for this stock was $83.44. The earnings gap down happened at the same time many institutional portfolios rebalanced for years end, you can see this on many other stocks in early November. Mediocre but not bad earnings with increases in subscription services and with most money being reinvested into RD and marketing PTON is here to stay regardless of what others think with a great PEG ratio of -.03 indicating very undervalued. The next major demand zone is at 39$ the next major supply zone is at 80$ right where that average price ever paid is sitting. The likely move is a retracement test into that 39 demand zone and then a parabolic move back into that gigantic gap between $55-$80. Don't you think some orders might have been left in that massive gap? Current accumulation/Distribution volume indicates holdings equal to late September 2020 when the stock was at you guessed it the $80 range. Great play with the potential to double in price over the next 6 months to year. My choice would be JULY 2022 calls.
Citigroup $C is cheap and oversoldBanks are still very cheap, $C trades at 6 PE with a 3.14% dividend yield and technically speaking its stock price is now at the lower part of its trading range for most of this year. Both the Range Strength and Hurst Exponent indicate the price is in a non-trending ranging mode, the RSI is at 22 and price is 8.38% below it's 50 day MA which is a lot for a mega cap like Citi, here looks like a good long play back to the 50 day MA.

Diversify your strategyThe holy grail of diversification is to find several uncorrelated asset classes all with positive returns. One problem, though, is that diversified passive investing has caused all asset classes to become more and more correlated over time. Increasingly, you see stocks, bonds, commodities, and cryptocurrencies all move together.
One approach to diversification that's increasingly popular with quants is to diversify your strategies rather than your asset classes . Long-short strategies are a popular example. Almost by definition, your short strategies will make money when your long strategies lose money, and vice versa. The challenge of making this work is that it's really hard to design short strategies with positive expected return. Since the market tends to go up over time, playing the market short is a bit like betting against the house at a casino. If you find a short strategy that actually works, that's gold right there.
Fortunately, there are some relatively uncorrelated strategies that work for long-only traders. This chart shows the Invesco "Momentum" and "Pure Value" ETFs. As you can see from the red and green arrows, the two ETFs often move in opposite directions. When one is producing positive returns, the other often isn't. Owning both can help smooth out your drawdowns and returns.
The same can be said for "mean-reversion" and "trend-following" strategies. Mean-reversion strategies involve buying assets that have made a big move downward. If you bought China stocks after their recent huge-selloff, that was a mean-reversion trade. Trend-following strategies, by contrast, involve buying assets that have made a big move upward. If you've bought oil and gas stocks in recent weeks, that was a trend-following trade. Both strategies tend to "work," but again, they're somewhat uncorrelated.
These strategies can further be broken down into short-term and long-term versions. Oil and gas is in a short-term uptrend, while the Nasdaq index is in a long-term uptrend. Facebook and Bristol-Myers Squibb are a short-term mean-reversion candidates after their recent sell-offs, while Calavo Growers and Regis Corporation are long-term mean-reversion candidates. The nice thing about using a mixture of short-term and long-term signals is that they allow you both to profit from stable market conditions and to quickly pivot at least some of your capital when market conditions change.
