MU trade ideas

THE WEEK AHEAD: MU, FDX EARNINGS; XOP, IWM, EWZEARNINGS: MU (36/64/11.7%) announces earnings on Monday after the close. Pictured here is a 19 delta short strangle in the July expiry, paying 1.55. FDX (46/59/11.4%) announces Tuesday after the close, with the 20 delta July 17th 115/147 paying 4.56. EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS ORDERED BY RANK AND SCREENED FOR 30-DAY >35%: EWW (59/44/12.6%) EWZ (47/63/17.7%) XLE (45/52/16.0%) GDXJ (43/60/17.7%) SMH (37/42/12.0%) GDX (36/45/14.5%) XOP (32/70/20.2%) USO (13/67/16.7%) Would probably go out to August here (54 days) ... . Looked at through the lens of what the short straddle is paying as a function of share price, it looks like I should be selling premium in XOP (20.2%), followed by EWZ (17.7%) and/or GDXJ (17.7%). BROAD MARKET ORDERED BY RANK: IWM (57/45/12.7%) QQQ (38/32/<10%) EFA (37/29/<10%) SPY (37/34/<10%) Small caps continue to be where the juice is at.

Since I've already laddered out IYR, I may dip at the EWZ well with the 16 delta short put paying .70 in August at the 22 strike, .84 in September at the 21 ... .

MU BULLERISH Earnings playMU is in a clear ascending channel, has set up meaningful resistance at the $48 level last week. Looks like it has consolidated at the lower end of the channel and is going to make a move up to the top of the channel. This has set up an opportunity to the long side if MU respects the channel it is in. Monday is earnings for MU after market close, I'm not really sure what it is expected and how they have been doing,a few weeks ago I played the $50 breakout successfully, it ran to 54 where I closed the trade. This chart presents two trade setups because of the positioning of the stock and the underlying catalyst for a move to either direction. Bullish: MU price target is $54 upon good earnings as a catalyst to move the stock from the lower end of channel to the higher end of the channel, I'll be playing Jul 31 - Aug 07 options as the longest up move from the lower end of the channel took 24 days to complete. Side note: MU has earnings on Monday after market close, this means that IV will be extremely high on Monday and might not be worth buying options until after earnings. I have already started a position with Jul 17th options, which I will most likely close at the end of day Monday if MU makes a good move off the lower channel because of IV crush the next day and will re enter if indeed the lower of the channel is respected and the stock moves higher on earnings. Bearish: If MU breaks that lower end of the channel, it could possibly break down and head lower or bad earnings or even good earnings that did not meet expectation. This entry will be based on whether MU holds that $48 level or not, if not could profit really nicely to the downside with options as well, as put options tend to gain more as vol increases (it mostly increases as the stock goes down) This is not FINANCIAL ADVICE and SHOULD NOT be taken as a trade just based on what I have put out here. Do your own analysis and use mine as supplementation to support your thesis, mine is strongly to the upside more than to the down side and I have a clear plan as to how I will execute with technical and time stops. OPTIONS ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE, check with your broker or financial adviser first.

MU BreakoutIn May, I was bearish on micron as we were trading in a sideways action and I thought that the S&P500 would have some form of meaningful selloff and that high volatile stocks would sell off the most. To my surprise, this stock hasn't really done anything in the past few weeks and today, I noticed that stock broke up resistance wedge. With this wedge breakout, I bought 100 shares at $51.14 and sold a ITM $50 strike call for a credit of $3.60 = $360. My max profit is my premium ($360) - intrinsic value of the option (51.14-50.00 = 1.14 x100 shares =$114 intrinsic value). Therefore, my max profit is $360-$114 = $246 or 4.8% in a little over a month. By using the covered call, I am able to protect my investment at the same time as limiting my profits. I do expect this stock to go up more than 4.8%, but I prefer to also limit my losses or increase my probability of profit and that's why I chose a covered call. Hit the like button if you want to know how this turns out. On a side note, the stock does have earnings on 6/29/2020 or in 25 days and I will most likely either close my position if its deep in the money or I will cover my position even deeper to lock in any gains in the next 25 days. Goodluck guys.
