SLCA Hedged Options StrategyUS Silica Holdings Inc had a good Q3, as one of the top companies making revenue in a supportive role in the energy sector. Specifically, they supply sand that's used in hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas wells via its extensive network and can deliver on last-mile logistics (directly to the well site). Subsidiaries like EP Minerals also makes diatomaceous earth, perlite, engineered clays and other industrial products. With an increased demand for energy across the globe, this seems like a not-too-risky investment. And cross-referencing -- Analysts have mostly rated it a Strong Buy, Buy, and Hold; Yahoo Finance predicts a bullish performance both short and long term. BUT a neutral pattern is detected (see doji-ish star with a slight push up, and commodity channel index.) With the recent Fed rate hike and uncertainty in SPX and general indices, here's my even safer bet: a hedged trading outcome. Buy 1 $12 Call Sell 1 $17 Call Sell 2 $10 Puts All expiring 1/19/24 Making up to 29% on this options-investing strategy. Betting that $SLCA does NOT fall more than 34% though 1/19/24.

Nifty Levels & Strategy for 04/Nov/2022Dear traders, I have identified chart levels based on my analysis, major support & resistance levels. Please note that I am not a SEBI registered member. Information shared by me here for educational purpose only. Please don’t trust me or anyone for trading/investment purpose as it may lead to financial losses. Focus on learning, how to fish, trust on your own trading skills and please do consult your financial advisor before trading. NIFTY Nifty offered opportunities to bears as well as bulls. US Fed meeting impact was absorbed in few mins by bulls and they have pushed it to higher levels. Today's, bullish move was quite good for retail traders. Big players were bearish and again brought Nifty down. Indian markets are nicely coupled with US market. Next move should be based on US market. Hoping, RBI may not play the spoiling sport in coming days. RBI may sell USD or increase rate to keep rupee dollar equation checked. Indian market is performing well and weakness is imported from the overseas. Retail traders should continue to book profit near lifetime high & enjoy the daily volatility.

LAZR Hedged Options StrategyLuminar Technologies, Inc. makes sensor technologies and software for vehicles and is distributed internationally. Laser imaging, detection, ranging sensors, perception and autonomy software are becoming the norm in newer cars. LAZR stock has also made a few headlines this week as a couple of institutions have started or added to their positions, and most analysts have rated it a buy or hold. There's some recent rallying in growth stocks in general. Overall, it seems to be a promising young company making in-demand LiDAR products. The doubts: Big name analysts (like GS) have cut its target price. Northland downgraded it from outperform to market perform. Fed rate hike next week. Technically, it's testing the lower EMAs and levels with some bullish patterns but who knows with the random gaps up and down these days. Here's our hedged strategy Buy 1 $5.00 Call Buy 1 $7.50 Call Sell 4 $2.50 Put All expiring 1/19/24 This strategy can make up to 26% (20% annualized) and protect from a drop of up to 66% (cushion set way down to $2.50) as of 1/19/24.
