Tesla (TSLA) – Bearish Options Action Trade for March 4th, 2019

by on 3 March 2019in Bulletins

 

Bearish – TSLA $ 294.79 – Consumer Discretionary

The idea presented is the opinion of the Options Action staff and not a recommendation by OptionsPlay.

On Friday’s Options Action, the crew analyzed the performance of Tesla stock. Tesla has benefited from being lead by a serial entrepreneur and created industry-leading electric cars, years ahead of its competition. However, competition is now catching up and TSLA may need to raise new capital. Expecting TSLA to pullback, Michael Khouw suggests buying an April/June 250 Put Calendar for an $11.25 Debit. As of Friday’s close, these puts were trading at a $10.40 Debit.

We’ve structured this trade in OptionsPlay so you can analyze and view this trade along with the supporting technical chart at your convenience. You can also view the Options Action’s video by clicking on the following link: TSLA Options Action Video

Yandex (YNDX) – Bullish DailyPlay – Feb 20th, 2019

by on 19 February 2019in Bulletins

Bullish – YNDX $ 32.83 – Technology

The bullish DailyPlay we chose for Wednesday, Feb 20th is Yandex (YNDX). YNDX is in the Technology Sector (XLK). XLK has rallied 8.90% higher over the past month and its 1m and 6m trend turned bullish on Feb 12th while breaking above its $68 resistance level.

Yandex’s 1m and 6m trends turned bullish on Jan 23rd while breaking above its $32 resistance level and recently bounced off that level as support. With a technical score of 6 (out of 10), YNDX is a neutral stock that is starting to trend higher.

As a stop loss, if YNDX was to trade below $32 for multiple days, this would invalidate our analysis and suggest getting out of the trade.
