Hedged Options Strategy on KRNTIsrael-based Kornit Digital produces, markets and distributes high-speed industrial inkjet printers, digital printing systems, ink, software, and related products for the apparel, home decor, and printed textile industry. The company markets itself as a more sustainable alternative to overproduced goods, allowing for on-demand production as well as personalization and customization. Fashion today is also affected by social media and viral marketing. (Interesting Forbes feature.)
Technically, optimists may see a falling wedge and double bottom forming. A quick peek at its profile on Yahoo Finance also shows mostly "Buy" recommendations and and "Maintains" on value... but a bearish outlook long-term. The stock market has also been wavering, and with earnings season revving up, there may be more volatility ahead.
This simple variable-return options strategy would maintain growth potential of up to 21% (23% annualized) while protecting against a 23% drop (to below $20.72) as of expiration, in ~11 months.

Hedged Options Strategy on APAOil is one of the few sectors that analysts are still bullish on in 2023. Long arguments include catalysts such as China's re-opening, airlines recovering, and lowered supply leading to higher oil prices. APA Corporation, formerly known as Apache, operates in the US, Egypt and the UK and is one of the largest American explorers for oil and gas properties. It owns entire lines of production from gathering to transport with four pipelines running from the Permian to the Gulf Coast, as well as 2.3 billion barrels of oil reserves. Positive earnings reports exceeded expectations, and with a recent drop in stock price, this could be a good time to enter. Dividend stocks are popular in bearish times, and APA pays a consistent one, though not the highest at ~2.3%.
Elliot Wave traders will also note where APA is going in the pattern, though yesterday's doom-and-gloom market might make investors think twice about jumping in. For downside protection, this hedged options strategy could make up to 9% (17% annualized) in ~7 months while cushioning against a fall of up to 31% (to below $29.85) as of 7/21/23.

F 13.5C 1/27Ford has touched the bottom support area 3 times and has shown to be a pretty strong area. The top trendline has had 2 touches so far, so the bottom is a more reliable play for the time being. Should it respect the top trend line . We should be looking to sell at $13. I've loaded up and plan to take half at $12, and the rest at $13.
IWM $164P 1/20/23We had a double top $189 and a hard rejection I noticed that greed was really heavy around that area. Then we broke and retested the $176 area. Seeing how we've got a ton of 200 MA's above us, I would enter here and if we come back to $176, average into the position. I've had numerous bearish signals over the last month and I'm pretty confident about this position. I set my TP at $164 because, last time we were at those levels we had a lot of fear in the market. Also on June 15th 2022 and October 12th 2020 we saw violent reactions to this level. I'd rather claim my gains than to fight support.
Follow me to keep up with my calls I'll try to make sure post at least once per week.

1.RBI meeting is going on. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is likely to go ahead with another rate hike approx. 0.35% on Dec-07
2.USA Fed meeting (next week). Another rate hike of 0.75% is likely to happen.
3.Gujrat results on Dec-08. Exit-poll results looking good for market

AVDL hedged options strategyDublin-headquartered biopharmaceutical company Avadel Pharmaceuticals currently has a buzzy formulation of sodium oxybate in a Phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of narcolepsy, among other candidates. The current twice-nightly U.S. narcolepsy oxybate market is estimated at $1.8 billion -- up to half of those patients quit because they need to wake up in the middle of the night to take the second dose. AVDL's LUMRYZ, taken once before bedtime and offering much more ease of use, was recently granted tentative approval by the FDA. Speculatively, in an era where melatonin use and sleep studies are so common, specialized research in sleep disorders and cataplexy may also lead to other medical breakthroughs. Looking at the last wick on the weekly chart, the bulls seem to want to push the stock up. Will the uptrend continue? According to its profile on Yahoo Finance, it's a Strong Buy.
Here's a hedged options trading strategy that makes up to 38% (33% annualized) on AVDL and also protects from a price drop of up to 44% as of 1/19/24.

BLNK Hedged Options StrategyEVs and infrastructure-related businesses such are "charging" ahead. Blink, having experienced a bit of a downturn with other EV and EV-economy companies, still garnered buy/hold/maintain ratings from analysts. With a market cap of 561M, the company offers residential and commercial EV charging equipment, hardware, and software on its cloud-based Blink Network that enables the remote management of charging stations and gives drivers station information. Blink also has partnered with different destinations such as attractions, airports, transportation hubs, schools and healthcare facilities, hotels, apartment buildings, parks, religious institutions, retailers, stadiums, supermarkets, and office locations. As of 2022, it has ~30,000 charging ports and its revenue of $9.8 million in Q1 was 339% of the same quarter last year -- note that government grants and subsidies are a main source of funding for EV charging companies, while other companies may feel more QT stress.
With a one-year target price of $17-$25 and hinting at consolidation, here's a strategy to make up to 20% while allowing room to safely fall up to 78% before losing any money.

Spy setup for next year bull run$spy has formed a downward channel and is getting ready for a breakout if next year's economic situation betters. No elections, downward interest rates and hopefully less inflation plus potential retail cash may push this up towards $500. Not to mention favorable technical setups, I'd be looking at some longer dated calls to scale in for the next coming weeks at the proper entry points.

Bank Nifty continued to hit new lifetime high. Bank Nifty started action with gap-up, mild profit booking, breakout above open price, consolidation through out the day & finally break-out. Bulls have clearly dominated the show. Volatility is quite low. US Dollar Index has corrected significantly. Brent crude is trading around $85 which is quite good for India. All factors are positive. We have seen significantly rally from lower levels. Is it really a bear market rally?????
Options data Call (ATM -long & ITM-Short covering) & PE writing in indicating strength towards long side. Today option buyers who waited patiently for breakout or breakdown opportunity were rewarded. Retail traders need wait patiently for good quality setup & simply replicate profit making trades again & again. Retail traders should continue to trade with caution near new lifetime high, buy on dips with hedge & book limited profit at higher level or loss at lower level.

Bank Nifty once again hit the new lifetime high. Profit booking strategy at highest level of all time worked really well. Big players have long positions (mainly PE writing) as well as short positions (mainly CE writing). They are ready on both the sides. Gap-up is likely to be sold & vice-versa. It looks like once again we are heading for another range bound expiry.
Option bias is once again positive with new calls addition (ATM -long & ITM-Short covering) & PE writing. We should continue with profit booking at higher level as well as lower level. Option writers are really doing exceptionally well. Option buyers need to be very careful and wait patiently for breakout or breakdown opportunity.
