Another “Insane” Volatility Trade

There are times you can find a stock with such “insane volatility” that collecting premium is like shooting fish in a barrel. We found another one. Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY).

Max Profit on a trade gone wrong

Nothing like grabbing a 21% return on a trade where the stock moves against you. We closed out a Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ: GILD) bear call spread for “MAX PROFIT” and a 21% return even though GILD ripped off 5 straight up days gaining more then 10% during the recent market rebound.

Altaba (AABA) is no Alibaba

Altaba (NASDAQ: AABA) is an investment management company born out of the sale of Yahoo! Inc.’s Internet business to Verizon (NYSE: VZ).

Has “Fake News” come to financial media?

Has “fake news” come to financial media? Maybe… here’s what I found out. I went to CNBC.com, which told me that we now know why the market plunged in December. It wasn’t about the Federal Reserve, or computerized trading, or the government shutdown. Rather, according to this article, it was that “the market was mostly anticipating what […]

The Undervalued Miracle Drug Stock

What is an undervalued miracle drug stock? In 2002 I was doing biotech stock analysis for ChangeWave Research and writing reports for institutional investors greedily looking for the next “miracle drug.” I asked our research wonks to find the next biotech companies that would see their drug fail in trial. Yes, fail. We went six […]

But recently the company announced it would close five North American plants, discontinue several less profitable passenger-car lines and cut 14,000 jobs. Wall Street cheered the […]
