    r/Stocks Daily Discussion & Options Trading Thursday - Jun 03, 2021

    Posted: 03 Jun 2021 02:30 AM PDT

    This is the daily discussion, so anything stocks related is fine, but the theme for today is on stock options, but if options aren't your thing then just ignore the theme and/or post your arguments against options here and not in the current post.

    Some helpful day to day links, including news:


    Required info to start understanding options:

    • Call option Investopedia video basically a call option allows you to buy 100 shares of a stock at a certain price (strike price), but without the obligation to buy
    • Put option Investopedia video a put option allows you to sell 100 shares of a stock at a certain price (strike price), but without the obligation to sell

    See the following word cloud and click through for the wiki:

    Call option - Put option - Exercising an option - Strike price - ITM - OTM - ATM - Long options - Short options - Combo - Debit - Credit or Premium - Covered call - Naked - Debit call spread - Credit call spread - Strangle - Iron condor - Vertical debit spreads - Iron Fly

    If you have a basic question, for example "what is delta," then google "investopedia delta" and click the investopedia article on it; do this for everything until you have a more in depth question or just want to share what you learned.

    Beware of what AMC shorts are holding!

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 06:12 PM PDT

    I understand that most people in this thread invest safely and aren't willing to risk their money on a risky play like a short squeeze.

    However, I would recommend to everyone to at least acknowledge that a short squeeze is potentially happening, and could potentially continue to happen. What this means is you should be weary of which Hedge Funds are shorting AMC at the moment, AND WHAT THEIR LONG POSITIONS ARE.

    If AMC or GME begin to cause Hedge Funds to get margin called and liquidated, we might be in for a flash crash of some of the biggest named stocks.

    Here are a list of institutional short sellers of AMC: https://fintel.io/sosh/us/amc

    Why does pre market exist and why are options not included?

    Posted: 03 Jun 2021 08:22 AM PDT

    Seems pretty unfair that the market is only "open" from 9:30-4pm yet trading can still take place practically all day long. It really sets you up for failure when a stock closed high but then opens at half its price. I know that "I can trade after hours too" but seriously I cant possibly pay attention to something from 4am-8pm every day.

    And why aren't options tradable? I am supposed to just sit there and watch my options loss all its value in pre market but cant do anything about it? If the price can change after hours why cant I tend to my options?

    Doesn't make sense to me.

    Companies no one is talking about

    Posted: 03 Jun 2021 05:24 AM PDT

    Good morning!

    In the last year I have spent so much time researching companies and chances are my watchlist looks like many of yours. I've been focused on zoom, tesla, crowdstrike, twlo, and stay at home stocks like fiverr, pton, and etsy. While many of these companies still have decades worth of growth ahead of them (amd), I haven't found any new exciting stocks recently. C3AI and coupang are about the only two. Coupang is the only one i would consider investing in at this moment. Would love to research some of the companies that are flying under the radar if any of you have your eyes on one.

    Here is a Market Recap for today Thursday, June 3, 2021

    Posted: 03 Jun 2021 01:46 PM PDT

    PsychoMarket Recap - Thursday, June 3, 2021

    Stocks dipped today, with the three major indexes pulling back after a recent run of gains in the last two weeks. Seems like after the recent run of gains we are seeing some profit taking across the board. I see no real reason for the dip given that new economic data released today was overwhelmingly positive. Looking ahead, market participants are waiting for May's Job Report slated to be released tomorrow.

    Amid negotiations with Republican lawmakers regarding the proposed infrastructure bill, today, the Washington Post reported that President Biden was open to reconsidering his previous proposal to raise the corporate tax rate to from 21% to 28%. This proposed increase has been one of the main sticking points during negotiations. Now it is reported Biden would recommend a minimum corporate tax rate of 15%.

    We got two pieces of good news in the labor market today. On one hand, according to a report by payroll processing firm ADP, the private sector added 978,000 jobs in May, well ahead of consensus estimates of 650,000. On the other hand, according to the Labor Department's Weekly Jobless claim report, showed 385,000 new jobless claims, roughly in-line with 387,000 estimate and a fresh pandemic low, a great sign that the labor market is improving as the economy continues to recover.

    These reports set the stage for the official May Jobs Report set to be released tomorrow by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which will be critical in determining the pace of economic recovery and whether the Federal Reserve will consider tapering monetary support in the near future. The April Job Report was extremely disappointing, showing only 266,000 jobs added compared to the 1 million expected, and marking a sharp deceleration compared to March.

    Highlights

    • Extremely volatile trading continued in AMC, which saw it's stock price recover from roughly 30% down to more than 10% up and only to dip again towards the end of the day. Other "meme stocks" traded in similar patterns after rocketing up in the last few days.
    • AMC issues and additional 11 million shares today, with the company taking advantage of its surging stock price.
    • Boeing Co Chief Executive Dave Calhoun on Thursday pointed to potential "supply constraints" beginning in the summer after a "more robust" recovery from the coronavirus-related downturn than he had imagined, another sign that demand is catching up in many industries faster than supply as the economy roars back from the coronavirus-induced recession.
    • Twitter (TWTR) on Thursday said it will roll out a new subscription product initially in Australia and Canada called Twitter Blue, which will let paying users edit their tweets before posting and change the color theme of their app. Twitter has recently been making big pushes trying to raise revenue
    • Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) is moving ahead with $12 billion plans to build a new semiconductor factory in Arizona. The US government has been aggressively pursuing semiconductor companies for investments, looking to secure its supply of semiconductors. Intel (INTC) also recently showed plans to also build new factories in Arizona.
    • Jack Ma's Ant Group has been approved to run a consumer finance company, the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission said Thursday. This is one of the first step of Ant's forced restructuring after China pulled the plug on its $35 billion IPO in October 2020. It also means the company will be regulated more like a traditional financial entity, giving authorities more oversight over company operations
    • **Please note that the current stock price was written premarket and does not reflect intraday changes.*\*
    • Cigna (CI)target raised by Morgan Stanley from $254 to $321 at Overweight. Stock currently around $255
    • ConocoPhillips (COP) target raised by Barclays from $63 to $71 at Overweight. Stock currently around $60

    What stocks to buy if literally every sector is overvalued?

    Posted: 03 Jun 2021 08:34 AM PDT

    Honestly, what sectors are really worth buying right now? Everything is overvalued because of low interest rates. As soon as interest rates rise, the market is gonna crash big time. A recession is coming no doubt. Real estate is overvalued. Tech is overvalued. I would think maybe commodities / retail would be okay for short term, but even then. Is it worth investing right now?

    Anybody else’s portfolio being dragged downed by United Airlines?

    Posted: 03 Jun 2021 09:18 AM PDT

    It's just weird, I would've expected that given that we are entering the summer times and given the positive Covid vaccination rates and increase in ridership that the stock would hovering around the $65 -$70 and yet it has remained stagnant. My investment horizon still remains to exit by Q3 of next year but man I would have expected the stock to start trending to it's pre-Covid pricing.

    Is there a general rule as to what happens to a stock price when the company is sold?

    Posted: 03 Jun 2021 06:18 AM PDT

    An entertainment company I have shares in is very possibly selling off the business in the next year (as a whole entity, not breaking it down)... is there a pattern of up/down movements that follow such an announcement? Or is it impossible to predict?

    With wood prices so high, curiosity struck me. Why is wood so expensive and where is all the money going?

    Posted: 03 Jun 2021 02:43 PM PDT

    Wood is crazy expensive right now. and most seem to believe that the cost is driven by the demand for wood. But financial statements from 4 of the top 5 companies argues another excuse. According to Sawmill DB, the top 5 production mills in the US are: West Fraser, Canfor, Weyerhaeuser, Georgia Pacific (Not PT), and Resolute forests. Since GP is not publicly traded everything I share will not include them.

    One thing I noticed with all of these companies is that in the past year their stock price has sky rocketed.

    • West Fraser: 130%

    • Canfor 180%

    • Weyerhaeuser 80%

    • Resolute Forest 500%

    Why is their price doing this? it isn't like wsb is simping over it.

    Looking at all of their filings for the SEC tells you exactly why their price has jumped. it will also tell you why the price of wood has also skyrocketed. and it isnt a jump in demand that caused their price to raise or the price of wood to raise. These companies are just selling them for higher prices and pocketing the excess profit.

    There are 4 data points that support the artificial jump in prices. Inventories, Sales, COGS, and New Earnings. below is the data for all 4 companies.


    West Fraser

    :) Q1.2021 Q1.2020 increase of
    Inventories 1,137,000,000 735,000,000 21%
    Sales 2,343,000,000* 890,000,000 163%
    COGS 1,039,000,000 630,000,000 65%
    Selling, G and A 78,000,000 41,000,000 90%
    Net Earnings 665,000,000 9,000,000(no this is not a typo) 7289%

    *their acquisition of norbord was 707,000,000 of that unfortunately COGS for it isn't available.

    West Fraser has seen a jump in net earnings of over 7k percent. In one year they grew their net earnings by over 72x. COGS only increased by 65% which means the price of lumber or getting the lumber hasn't changed. This jump in COGS is likely due to Norbord. So even taking that out of the equation would mean they doubled their sales in a year. That is absolutely nuts. That is a profit margin that went from 2.4% to 66%. that is not normal, either. but we aren't done lets look at the other companies.


    Canfor

    :) Q4.2020 Q4.2019 Increase of
    Inventories 867,500,000 803,900,000 8%
    Sales 5,454,400,000 4,658,300,000 17%
    COGS 3,538,800,000 3,618,600,00 -2%
    Selling, G and A 127,900,000 124,900,000 2.4%
    Net Earnings 559,900,000 -269,700,000 WTF?

    Weyerhaeuser

    :) Q1.2021 Q1.2020 Increase Of
    Inventories 505,000,000 443,000,000 14%
    Sales 2,506,000,000 1,728,000,000 45%
    COGS 1,430,000,000 1,382,000,000 3%
    Selling, G and A 90,000,000 74,000,000 22%
    Net Earnings 681,000,000 150,000,000 354%

    Resolute Forest Products

    3 months ending March 31st 2021 2020 Increase Of
    inventories 512,000,000 462,000,000 11%
    Sales 873,000,000 689,000,000 27%
    COGS 522,000,000 524,000,000 ~
    Selling, G and A 46,000,000 34,000,000 35%
    Net Earnings 87,000,000 -1,000,000 another one turning things around

    Some interesting things to point out:

    • all these companies have a significant increase in profit margin. 2 of them were able to reverse their position and get positive earnings, while the other 2 were able to increase their net earnings by significant amounts.

    • in 3 of these cases, the increase in sale revenue was something to brag about. while the remaining company looks like they're geniuses for the growth they had. All of them did this with out having a huge jump in COGS. I include West Fraser in this because they acquired a company in Q1 of this year. for this reason I bet their COGS would like the same withholding their new acquisition.

    • Although "Selling, G&A" is not nearly as important or necessary as the others it is still necessary to show that any increase in lumber is due to labor. I assume labor is incorporated in COGS but I want to provide this for anyone reading this and wondering if they may be putting labor into a different classification. That was my first though when I saw COGS didnt jump as high as sales.

    • Inventories for all companies were marginally impacted. The growth they experienced I'd say is probably just volatility due to seasonal reasons. but an interesting tidbit I want to share is that all of these companies blame the increase in prices on the pandemic claiming that it had a negative impact on the supply side. but as you can tell all companies have a growth in their inventories. All but Resolute Forest value their inventories using the lower of costs. meaning that discounting the growth in inventories should be done to a minimum. They also blame an increase of demand from people working at home for the increase in business. This makes sense. But when you include the fact that the price of wood has doubled since last year it's a little bit unreasonable to say that the massive increase in revenue is due strictly to demand side. More than likely they increased wood prices is to make up for any lack in profits they would have gotten and now they don't want to lower them because they see how much more money they're making.

    Everything I shared with you is because a friend at work noticed this with west fraser. I wanted to confirm that this was a market wide phenomenon. I think it is safe to say that the increase in wood isnt market force related but rather artificially inflated reasons. Let me know what you think in the comments. This is my first time ever sharing research I did and If I missed a crucial step I would love the critique. If I get good at doing this I will probably submit more findings I have in the future. Thank you.

    Portfolio Revamp

    Posted: 03 Jun 2021 12:46 PM PDT

    Ok so I've been in the markets for about a year but I only started investing about 9 months ago. My holdings are BA, JPM, AAPL, AMD, and ETSY with the largest being BA and the smallest ETSY. My school just ended today and I've been contemplating to sell ETSY ( I have a 185 cost basis for reference), not because it fell of earnings but because I'm looking to approach stocks for with a more value mindset and after further evaluating their business model I don't know if it's that sustainable for long term growth. Also, if I sold ETSY for a loss not only could I write it off but put the money into something like AMD, BA, or HP which I'm looking to buy more of or start a position in. Also, for reference on all of my positions except AMD and ETSY I'm up on and for the ones I'm down on I'm not down that much. What do you guys think

    $ETSY bought Depop at a premium of 20x revenue. Is $POSH and $TDUP undervalued?

    Posted: 03 Jun 2021 08:58 AM PDT

    Yesterday $ETSY announced it was purchasing Depop for $1.6B.

    In 2020 Depop revenue was $70M. Etsy CEO justified the purchase by stating that the second hand apparel industry will double to $65B in the next five years, citing a study made by Global Data. However, the other resale players are trading at much lower valuations considering their revenues.

    ThredUP ($TDUP) is expected to have $220M in revenue this year and is trading at 10x revenues with a market cap of $2.1B.

    Poshmarck ($POSH) is trading at 9x revenue with a market cap of $3.8B.

    Are this two companies undervalued or did $ETSY overpay for the Depop purchase?

    What are your thoughts on NVDA?

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 07:53 PM PDT

    I'm debating going all in on NVDA. I had something like 20 shares and I sold before the earnings announcement, which the stock dropped after, but now has continued on an uptrend. I'm debating on buying 50 shares before the split. I believe in the company, the CEO, and the revenue is excellent. They are up 83% from the 2020 quarter earnings. They are the leader in GPUS (by far) and I really feel like this is a solid company, based on the technology and their earnings. I am debating on investing 33k until the split to see how it goes. The stock is at an all-time high, but is clearly in an uptrend, with the revenue to back it up. What are your thoughts on NVDA? Is this a buy? Or is it too high?

    Can innovative companies flourish during a crash?

    Posted: 03 Jun 2021 09:59 AM PDT

    I am wondering if anyone knows from experience, and can say (without guessing) whether many small companies with innovative tech, such as a recently FDA approved treatment, or a game changing battery solution - or anything important or significant - have significant increases in stock price during a major crash? We're there many examples of such companies after the 2008 crash?

    Struggling to fully understand puts

    Posted: 03 Jun 2021 04:40 AM PDT

    I was trying to learn a little bit about calls and puts, and I am kinda getting stuck.

    If stock XYZ is at $100 right now and I believe that it will go down to $80, should I try to buy a put with a strike price of $80, or with a strike price closer to the actual stock price?

    In other words, (when factoring out the cost of each contract to keep things simple) if I buy a contract with a strike price of $80, and the stock does go below $80, do I make the $20 difference from the price now and my strike price?

    Exact Sciences - Future Global Leader in Advanced Cancer Diagnostics

    Posted: 03 Jun 2021 04:54 AM PDT

    Goldman Sachs initiated coverage on Exact Sciences today with a buy rating and a $160 price target, which represents more than a 45% premium to the current valuation. Why is Goldman so bullish?

    The company's stool DNA test for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is poised for growth. Cologuard was recently recommended by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) for all adults at normal risk for developing CRC in the 45-49 year age group. This represents 19 million potential new customers for Cologuard, and Cologuard has been shown to be particularly effective as a screening test (high sensitivity and specificity) in this younger age cohort. There are other significant tailwinds for growth in the next 6-12 months, including sales reps (both Exact Sciences and Pfizer reps) slowly returning to doctors' offices as the pandemic wanes, colonoscopy capacity insufficient to handle giant backlog in CRC screening, electronic ordering now online thru EPIC, and patient wellness visits increasing as things get back to normal.

    In addition to Cologuard, Exact Sciences' Oncotype DX test for breast cancer patients is standard of care worldwide for treatment decisions for 70% of women with breast cancer to determine whether chemotherapy may be beneficial. Exact Sciences also purchased PFS Genomics recently, and as a result will bring to market a test to determine whether radiotherapy may be beneficial. These tests will spare countless women from suffering from needless chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

    Exact Sciences surveillance test for hepatocellular carcinoma - Oncoguard Liver - is currently available and will be rolled out in the next 12 to 18 months with data to be released soon and FDA/CMS approval being sought.

    Exact Sciences studies for Cologuard 2.0 and CRC blood test underway and expected to cement Cologuard's position as the leading CRC screening test for adults ages 45 and over at normal risk for developing CRC.

    Exact Sciences is developing a multi-cancer blood screening test incorporating recently acquired Thrive Early Detection's CancerSeek technology along with it's own DNA methylation technology to create the world's leading multi-cancer screening test. This would obviously be a game changer with a total addressable market of $25 billion plus annually.

    Exact Sciences has the technology, scientists, labs, commercial team, and management in place to become the GLOBAL leader in early cancer detection and treatment! I'm very proud to be fully invested in this company, which is leading the fight against cancer by means of early detection. When detected in its earliest stages, cancer is much more survivable (approximately 90% survival rate vs 10% in late stages) which is why early detection is so important.

    ESTC (Elasticsearch):Why is everyone(in particular analysts) so bullish on it?

    Posted: 03 Jun 2021 01:48 PM PDT

    I know that it's quite a good tool but, after earnings analyst across all firms have come out with above a 50% upside on this company.

    I've avoided it as I assume that their moat is narrow. Could anyone highlight what I'm missing?

    Anybody have any insights into ASTS?

    Posted: 03 Jun 2021 01:41 PM PDT

    I have seen this mentioned randomly before, but nothing much else. Their concept seems solid, space based cellular service, but I don't want to invest without learning a little more. Looking at yahoo finance I can't find a ton of information on them. All I can seem to find news wise is 2023 seems to be when things will take off, literally, when they start launching satellites and what not.

    Does anybody have any additional information into the company? Are you looking into them too?
