SNBR Hedged Options StrategyPopular smart bed company Sleep Number sells beds, mattresses, pillows and bedding related products directly to customers via 600+ retail stores, telephone order, and e-commerce. Adjustable temperature, firmness, motion sensing and automatic contouring, even snoring prevention technology are part of their luxury product catering to an aging population in the middle of a health and wellness boom -- with sleep as an increasingly buzzier part of the conversation. Americans buy 16+ million new mattresses a year, spending an average of ~$1000 per unit, making it a $12.55 billion industry. More people are relocating due to job/work-from-home opportunities and changing real estate trends (opting to buy a new mattress instead of moving an old one) -- the projected steady growth could become a surge. SNBR reports earnings Wednesday after market close, and posted beats for the previous 2 Q's. Here's one argument for the stock being undervalued. Technically minded investors might also see some promising chart patterns forming as well, and a buying opportunity after a major selloff in the last two years. However, with its recent loss of CFO and announcement that chip shortages were a challenge, an investment in SNBR would not be without uncertainty. Here's an options investing strategy that offers both downside protection and upside potential. Make a fixed 12% (22% annualized) at maturity as long as SNBR does not fall more than 23%. Further protection: SNBR can fall 31% through expiration before you start to lose any money. Hedged like this: Sell 2 $25 puts Exp 9/15/23 Capital requirement: $4472

BKI hedged options strategyBlack Knight, Inc. provides integrated software, hosting, data, and analytics services for the mortgage industry. Subsidiaries include mortgage and home equity loan application platform MSP, customer account app Servicing Digital, retention and liquidation app Loss Mitigation, loan origination systems Empower and LoanCatcher, and investor/broker community LoanSifter PPE. Black Knight also offers property ownership and lien data, automated valuation models, collateral risk scores, multiple listing service, and eSign, eClosing, and remote online notarization (RON) solutions, with plans to integrate with Wolters Kluwer's eNote and eVault for complete digitization of the mortgage application and closing process. TA-oriented investors will note a few optimistic patterns forming, as well as the CCI indicating an uptrend. But BKI also faced opposition and anti-trust regulation when it announced that it would join mortgage technology industry giant Intercontinental Exchange ICE (owner of Ellie Mae as well as the NYSE). With increased interest rates and housing inflation, will the mortgage industry take a hit? After earnings results were released Tues morning, here's a strategy that offers some downside protection while maintaining growth potential. Make a 10% yield (26% annualized) unless BKI falls more than 14% to below $54.59. Start to lose only if BKI falls by more than 19% to below $51.76 as of 7/21/23. Buy 1 $40 put Sell 2 $55 puts Exp 7/21/23 Capital requirement: $6,352

DISH long hedged options playEveryone knows DISH Network. (Fun fact: the name is an acronym for DIgital Sky Highway.) Colorado-based Dish also does business through Sling TV and offers mobile service via Dish Wireless and prepaid service Boost Mobile, with plans to offer wireless internet and its own video streaming -- they do own Blockbuster. Dish TV has about 10 million paid subscribers. TA-oriented investors might spot some bullish signals, like the falling wedge and double bottom, while the price has recently moved above the MA. With the recent SPX / SPY / QQQ rallying, maybe it's time to consider a company at the crossroads of tech, infrastructure, media and entertainment. However, stocks' response to the latest jobs report and less-than-stellar Big Tech earnings might also give pause. Here's an options strategy that captures growth potential of 13% (21% annualized) while also providing downside protection of 35% -- start to lose only if DISH falls below $9.99 as of 9/15/23. Hedged like this: Buy 1 $15 Call Sell 1 $17.50 Call Sell 2 $10 Puts All expiring 9/15/23 Capital requirement: $1998

JWN Protective Options StrategyFashion retailer Nordstrom sells brand name clothing, shoes, beauty, home goods, etc in 94 large department stores as well as 240 Nordstrom Rack outlets. It also makes ~50% sales online, via their official websites as well as flash-sales from HauteLook and curator services through Trunk Club. Technically minded investors may see some opportunity in the chart (bottoming, consolidation into a falling wedge) along with optimism in the general stock market with the Fed's lower rate hike this week. The RSI has also been consistently chopping in the almost-oversold region, possibly indicating upward momentum. However, Nordstrom's weak holiday sales earnings may also cause some hesitation -- this opportunity is not without risks. With this bullish options strategy, you can capture up to 21% (22% annualized) of the potential gain with downside protection of 34% -- start to lose only if JWN falls below $12.43 as of 1/19/24 Trade Legs: Buy 1 $17.5 call Sell 1 $22.5 call Sell 2 $12.5 puts All expiring 1/19/24 Capital requirement for this strategy: $2,486

AMRS Options Strategy with downside protectionMultinational biotech company Amyris manufactures and sells synthetic ingredients to the clean beauty, personal care, health and wellness, flavor and fragrance, nutrition, food and beverage markets in Europe, North America, South America, and Asia. It also offers products under the Biossance, Purecane, Costa Brazil, OLIKA, and JVN brand names. Amyris also collaborated with the Infectious Disease Research Institute to develop a COVID-19 vaccine using their synthetic squalene, otherwise found naturally in sharks. As global demand increases beyond natural supplies, the company believes that synthetic ingredients are the sustainable way to go. TA-minded traders might also see some pretty bullish patterns forming (falling wedge, double bottom, even Elliot Wave on the shorter timeframes). However, with Microsoft earnings leading a drop in the stock market today, how can investors balance fear and fear of missing out? Here's a hedged #options strategy that makes a fixed 10% yield (26% annualized yield) unless $AMRS falls more than 69% to below $0.50. More downside protection: Start to lose only if AMRS falls by more than 71% to below $0.46 as of 6/16/23. Sell 5 $0.50 puts Expiring 6/16/23 Capital required: $229

RUN hedged options strategyThere are lots of bullish arguments to make for solar stocks this year, including the Inflation Reduction Act and global demand, especially in Europe. California-based Sunrun designs, installs, sells and maintains residential solar panels directly to customers. Other business areas include battery storage, leasing energy services, and a "virtual power plant" with installed Sunrun panels actually exporting energy back to the grid. Relatively few homes have solar panels installed, but homeowners are increasingly interested in them and associated tax benefits, making growth potential in this area of the clean energy market quite high. Technically-minded traders might also wonder if RUN stock will repeat its falling wedge pattern, and possibly even see a double bottom forming. On the other hand, with over $5 billion in debt (as of March 2021) and Fed interest rate hikes adversely affecting tech and growth stocks, is Sunrun the safest place to park money right now? This hedged options strategy protects from a fall of up to 32% as of 8/18/23 and also makes up to 25% (44% annualized). Buy 1 $20 call Sell 1 $27.50 call Sell 2 $15 put Expiring Aug 18, 2023 Capital requirement: $2994
