Stock is at an interesting price level. If stock price moves up and IV increases could help add premium value to the call options.

I would recommend a vertical spread to keep theta at bay especially after earnings when IV will drop reducing the price of the options if you expect to hold this past earning.

$NTR Trading the channel and bullish confluenceMy largest swing following the whale buyer of 23,400 JUN 17 $80 calls on 11/18.
Love this set up.
Fundamentally - great ER beat and raise in guidance, with various BUY analyst ratings and PT $75-80. I'm bullish agriculture and fertilizer market goes hand in hand.
Technically - Moving through the upward channel, post ER algo push down, accumulation with great buy volume (usually an indication a future move to the upside will occur) on the 50EMA. MACD cross, bullish divergence on RSI and QQE momo turning to buy.
Wouldn't be surprised one more shakeout / break lower (I will add to the position) before she rips.
Noting nothing is ever certain in trading but this is a juicy swing set up with good bullish confluence I like the R/R a lot here.

Various semi conductor stock earnings coming up soon.
Bounced off 50 EMA Today on the daily showing downside support. CCI is also trending up going from bearish to bullish after being sold through out the day.
Nice hammer on the 4H chart
A Months time on these options I would recommend a vertical spread to keep theta at bay.
Wait for confirmation of break of the $40.00 level for upward trend and possibly a close above this level to start a position.
Enter using $40 or $41 calls around trigger as theta burn will be less once ITM. Or consider a vertical.
Exercise caution when entering 3X ETF as they tend to move rapidly to the down side on any pullback.
Support 50 EMA $38.55

This stock is showing a nice hammer on the daily close today after falling past few days indicating a possible reversal in trend.
The stock has bounced off Long term support at 24.52 & also held 25.71 previous support.
It is also showing a possible cup and handle on the 15 minute chart with today's bounce. Expect support to hold and stock to keep running up towards ER after drawdown.

DASH: the evening before lockup expirationThis is right before the expiration of the share lock-up for insiders. Bearishness has reached near-euphoria. A yoga teacher asked me about buying DASH puts last night. I think there's a chance we bounce at this trend support and simply slide sideways into the megaphone and wedge formed by trendiness, instead of falling down into the pit as the rest of the world tends to think.
There was some very unusual options activity today in near-term options, which implies a leakage of insider information. Options volume in these strikes was far beyond open interest.
CALLS: 5000 $172.5 weekly calls, expiring 3/12/2021 with a total premium of about $670,000.
PUTS: 10,000 $125.00 weekly puts, expiring 3/12/2021 with a total premium of about $8,030,000.
No way to tell if the call buyers were the put sellers. But block buyers in the market are long $211,250,000 in notional shares on the bet that DASH insiders are not going to dump their shares en masse, and the fear is overdone. This is a BIG BET.
I saw this and went to work selling the $95 and $110 strike puts expiring the same day, 3/12/2021.
