PCTY

Are you looking for stocks to buy? I am $PCTY $CCRNThe thing is, I'm buying very small positions. I use the averages like the SP:SPX and NASDAQ:IXIC more like a sentiment measure. The averages are that, averages. They don't account for the whole market. There will always be stocks rising or falling regardless of what the indexes are doing. But, if the averages are in downtrends I won't buy aggressively. I like these two stocks, NASDAQ:PCTY and NASDAQ:CCRN . They are both leaders in the outsorcing industry. Coincidence? Cross Country HealthCare provides market-leading workforce solutions and healthcare staffing services. And Paylocity provides software for payroll solution designed for the employee experience. I'll buy a close above Friday's high with a stop loss just below the Friday's low. Also I'll be watching volume very closely as in both momentum is still bullish.

022. PIGGISH PLAY - LONG Digital Turbine + CRM Earnings StrangleEver wonder what it would be like to have your cake, and eat it too? Go ask Paylocity - it's the biggest mooch on the street. Why am I starting with the optional/bonus part of this position? It is because: 1) APPS technicals are so profoundly bullish that I may just avoid mentioning them entirely in this description, and 2) It's pretty damn funny to observe how parasitic Paylocity's stock price is when it poaches CRM's much-needed volume - only to cut all ties a few hours later, leaving the premises without waking CRM up in the morning. Anywho, I think we might just have a very affordable, synergistic means of playing CRM's earnings report on Tuesday using Paylocity calls, APPS calls, and CRM puts. If CRM smokes its estimates, Paylocity will most definitely skyrocket given its latest performance and APPS will rip higher if it can hold that unbelievably steep lower trendline. Seriously - this sort of consolidation is extremely rare for such a young company. It reminds me of how Tesla and Shopify used to be - before fundamentals were discarded for Stocktwit sentiment indicators - except that APPS's early stages seem even bullish-er. Don't believe me? Take a look at how both of these monsters grew up around 40 bucks/share and compare them against the top chart. APPS has them beat in every category; particularly its incredible rate of consolidation and ability to recover 4-5 points higher on any given day. While Tesla can do this on a much bigger scale now, it took them forever to get to this point. This stock can do the same damn thing and it's only at 40. Onto the Pig Play Details: This is an Options-Only play that allows more risk to be taken because of the offsetting positions. If you want to buy and hold equity, go right ahead but I don't have an offsetting solution for you that would be worth the risk in this spot. If Monday is choppy and slightly red, wait until the end of the day to enter all three positions simultaneously. There is zero reason to take on the additional risk for some sort of premium scalp if ZM catches a bid before it reports - or something like that. On the other hand, if it is an insanely bullish day from the start because USD Monopoly Money is recognized as somewhat fraudulent by all of the countries that have been blindly buying our notes, then I'd recommend focusing on entering the APPS calls first and foremost, right on the button. Now time for the Pig-Specs: ALTERNATIVE 1: LONG BULL WITH SIMPLE OFFSET (APPS CALLS, IWM PUTS): APPS (CALLS) - BUY - (45 Dollar Strike, 12/18/2020 Expiration) IWM (PUTS) - Use about 1/3rd of the capital used to purchase the APPS calls and buy the second strike behind the then-current price and a 12/04 expiration. If you don't like wasting money, I suggest you ALTERNATIVE 2: LONG COMPLEX SOFTWARE ER STRANGLE WITH (APPS CALLS, CRM PUTS, and PCTY CALLS): 1) APPS (CALLS ) - (same as above), you get to choose how many you want to buy since you are autonomous (unlike Paylocity). Just know that the net cost of the other two positions should roughly equal 75% of the amount allocated to this main long call position. 2) CRM (PUTS) - BUY - (1-2 PUTS, NEAR THE MONEY, EXP 12/04/2020 Expiration) While these are both stupidly expensive and unlikely to hit, it is a NECESSARY part of this play. You are getting a severe discount on the relatively large number of calls that you wouldn't otherwise receive under 99% of circumstances. The overwhelming odds are that CRM beats and that the market will not tank until the NAS touches new highs. However, pay the premium so that you're hedged all day and avoid getting cute by waiting two hours for a discount. Naht in this market and don't come crying to anyone if ya go forward unhedged. 3) PCTY (CALLS) - BUY - (220 Strike, 12/18/2020 Expiration) Allocate 1/3rd of the amount of capital that you just spent on your offsetting CRM puts and purchase these unbelievably beautiful-looking calls that have a ton of implied volatility that will kick up the second CRM reports, a very nice amount of theta to work with, and a strike that can be very easily surpassed this week. Both these calls and the APPS calls are amongst the best deals I've seen all year. Good Luck Ya Software Nerds. - Software Appigation Strangler NASDAQ:APPS NYSE:CRM NASDAQ:PCTY AMEX:IWM
