Oracle surprises naysayers with ambitious projections for 202The epiphany of OLD TECH NYSE:ORCL announced quarterly revenue of $11.1 billion today, yielding earnings of $1.16 per share. Analysts were expecting the company to report revenue of $10.95 billion and earnings of $1.07 per share.During a very upbeat earnings call, CEO Safra Catz said she expects fiscal 2020 revenue to grow “faster” than in the previous year and projected “double-digit” earnings-per-share growth.
"Our high-margin Fusion and NetSuite cloud applications businesses are growing rapidly, while we downsize our low-margin legacy hardware business. The net result of this shift away from commodity hardware to cloud applications was a Q4 non-GAAP operating margin of 47%, the highest we've seen in five years," said CEO Safra Catz.
Technically the stock is setting up for a major breakout from a 2 year channel, afterhours the stock has moved above all MA'S and Ichimoku cloud is now support.
THE WEEK AHEAD: ORCL, GDXJ, TBT, TLT, SMH, OIHEARNINGS
ORCL (50/29) releases earnings on Wednesday after market close, so look to put on a play in the waning hours of Wednesday's New York session.
Pictured here is a non-standard short strangle, with the short call side doubled up in order to compensate for greater than one dollar wide strikes: 1.30 credit, break evens at 48.70/58.15, and delta/theta of -5.52/58.15.
As of Friday close, the June 21st to July 19th monthly volatility contraction is from 46.6% to 29.3% or about 29.7%.
Look to manage intratrade by rolling the untested side toward current price on approaching worthless with a 50% max take profit target.
Generally, I don't play stuff this small that doesn't have dollar wides, since rolling intratrade can be a headache, as can rolling out, since there is limited strike availability. It's really another aspect of liquidity, which is not only about the width of markets intraexpiry, but also about the availability of expiries out in time, as well as strikes.
BROAD MARKET
EEM (27/20)
QQQ (23/20); NDX (24/20)
IWM (23/19); RUT (25/19)
SPY (21/15); SPX (19/15)
EFA (16/13)
With 33 days to go in the July cycle and 61 to go for August, we're kind of in the "in between" for the 45 days 'til expiry sweet spot, so I would wait until August comes closer into view for either broad market or sector if you want to keep things in that 45 days 'til expiry wheelhouse.
SECTOR EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS
Top 5 By Rank: GDXJ (62/31), TBT (52/24), TLT (51/12), SMH (50/31), OIH (49/40).
SINGLE NAME WITH EARNINGS IN THE REAR VIEW
A lot of earnings start kicking off in the July cycle, so would wait to play these as earnings announcement volatility contraction plays instead of wading in here and getting caught in a volatility expansion.
ME PERSONALLY
To keep things simple, mundane, and boring throughout the summer months, I'm looking to just to play broad market for the next couple of cycles -- SPY/SPX, QQQ/NDX, and IWM/RUT. (See, e.g., RUT Sept Iron Condor below).

ORCL SpeculationGood day traders. Here we have ORCL stock charts. Bigger picture is suggesting to be short. As we look at the lower time frame here, we can see supply above and some ok demand below. The levels further away from price are the more significant levels; however, you can short at either supply zone.

Oracle - Long PlayProbability play for a move to the upper tend line, which would be around the 50% fib range (50.17)
I like the way it rejected the lower trend line and the EMA34 and is trading above it now.
