i expect mat to begin to sell off assets to try to help their business/rebuild their brand image. their margins are on the rocks. inventories are high, and the level of leverage mat has on the books is pretty high. although speculative i feel that mat would be an ideal buyout candidate or intangible brands to be pieced apart. that reason along im holding some shares long
Metrics: Max Profit: $223/contract ($56 at 25% max) Max Theoretical Loss/Buying Power Effect: $1277 (stock goes to 0); $1277 cash secured; ~$300 on margin. Break Even: 12.77/share (7.6% discount over current price if assigned on the 15 short put); no upside risk Delta: 43.26 (bullish assumption) Theta: 1.09 Notes: I wasn't happy with what my screener was showing...
Mattel's sales decrease 10% each year for many years. No wonder here, if you had kids you'd know what they like more: iPads or dolls. Hasbro showed us their numbers and what effect Toys-R-Us closure had on toys' sales. Question is: what tricks did Mattel use to come up with these numbers? Perhaps old school channel stuffing, they even went as far as reducing ad...
Notice in 2000 mattel entered a bear market a full 2 years before the 2000 recession started. Now look at price action for the last 10 years. Mattel has been in a bear market for almost 5 years now. Overdue? well see.
$MAT has been in free fall for a while and is about to test monthly order block. Good opportunity for a long position, especially considering divergences on virtually any time frame.
Entered by own system based on VSA, keeping this as a Track Record
Break above triangle. And a big green candle, wait for a retrace, to prevoius Value Area High.
Looks like $MAT has twice tested this 100 period EMA on the Daily, which maybe shows enough support and after a period of consolidation a stronger move north of this position.
I will look to take a quick bounce on this wedge, nr7 doji with stochastic oversold jump out at around 5-7%
There was a good short signal, after breaking through the resistance line and 200MA, and fastening below its level. Such signals as this one are very strong in nature. The GAP, which breaks through the resistance level of the channel and in addition opens below 200MA, is one of the strongest signals for shorts: Given the general picture of this action, I see...
It does not look very good, and 8.50 does not sound so crazy to me
We've bounced a couple of times, we're on a nice support and this looks like a decent double bottom. ER in 8 days is a good opportunity to take position
Remember call buyer tagged lows in June. Gonna get paid.
Daily MACD buy signal, price into gap. I post call buyer last week. $HAS deal??
Long rumored to be buyout candidate for $HAS, but daily chart sits 2 year lows as trader buys 10,000 of January 25 strike calls for $0.50. Dividend cut last week has pressured stock. Large bottom tail on daily candle could be a bottom. Play small and safe if going long.
