Morning Update for Thursday, 12/23/21 Posted: 23 Dec 2021 06:21 AM PST Good morning everyone, hope you enjoy your Thursday. Market is closed tomorrow, so let's end the week right. Happy Holidays :) These posts are for informational purposes only. I am not a financial advisor. Main Watchlist: Gapping UP:
Gapping DOWN:
Momentum Watchlist:
Market Outlook: Stocks are looking to open higher, extending their gains from the past couple days. The Santa Claus rally is real, as we've seen two back-to-back days of solid intraday gains. Omicron concerns seem to be subsiding for now, but it will be interesting to see if things heat up after the holiday season with people traveling. We should be getting some inflation data this morning, which is worth following. I'm optimistic we'll see some more strength today, although we could see some choppiness as we approach resistance levels. S&P and Dow Futures are each up ~30 basis points, with Dow Futures up 20 basis points. Gold is up a bit, while silver is trading flat. They'll look to continue their strength after yesterday. Crude oil is trading a bit over $73 per barrel, and things are looking bullish after holding over the $70 level. Chinese stocks are seeing more weakness this morning. I'll be watching price action around key support levels. EV stocks saw a strong day yesterday, and will look to continue that strength today. Energy stocks are looking to continue their strength from the past couple days as well, and are worth watching into 2022. Airlines and cruise stocks are looking to build on their momentum as well. I see a lot of analysts hyping the "reopening" plays, worth following today and next week. Casinos and hotels are also in play. The crypto market is continuing its consolidation phase, and volatility has dropped down a bit. Bitcoin is currently trading around 48,800. It appears to have found support, I'll be watching for some more upwards movement today and this weekend. If we reject resistance levels, we could see some more choppiness. Crypto-related stocks are somewhat mixed in premarket trading. Remember to use proper risk management; size appropriately for your account and have a plan for every trade you enter. Happy trading everyone :) [link] [comments] | ||
S&P 500: December 22 EOD Summary Posted: 22 Dec 2021 01:26 PM PST

How do you get your friends to stop asking you about what stocks to buy? Posted: 22 Dec 2021 04:20 AM PST I have a few friends and every time I see them is the same: "What stocks you got?" This question isn't so bad but the rest are. "What stocks should I buy" "I have money put aside for your stock picks!" "Tell me what to invest in" "what stocks and crypto are good right now" I don't think I've ever even answered these questions. Usually I say I don't know or don't keep up with that anymore, but they all know I don't have a job and support myself through trading, so they don't believe me. Like wtf guys why should I do all the work? I don't give a shit what you invest in. I don't want to waste my time talking about this shit after researching for hours every day unless you have some sort of insight you can share. I don't want to get blamed if you lose money. If you want to come to me and DISCUSS stocks that's fine, but I kind of just feel like a walking billboard and I feel like I'm doing all the research and work for nothing. I'm happy to exchange trading ideas but I don't like handing them out to everyone for free when the only outcome from that will be me being blamed whenever anyone loses money. Does anyone else have friends like this? How do you kindly tell them to fuck off and shut up about stocks? I value them as friends but it's getting to the stage where Im just fed up. Edit - because people keep giving me the same DUMB advice: No I absolutely am not going to just "stop talking about stocks" with my friends. That's not possible. They all know I trade full time from home for a living. I can't meet up with friends without them asking things like "how's work", etc, and stocks do come up. It's not something I bring up but also not something I go out of my way to avoid. Secondly, to the people shaming me for not wanting to "help" my friends and telling me that they only need a little help now and they won't need that help forever. Thanks for clearly not reading or comprehending the post. I don't think you realise what you're even expecting here. I'm not talking about friends who want to learn and make an effort to do this themselves. I'm clearly talking about the kind of people who want me to do all the work, want to be babysat through the whole process, want someone else to tell them when to buy or sell, and have no interest in learning anything more. The same kind of people who will call you up in the middle of work the next day asking about a 2% dip and asking my permission to sell their own stock. I don't have the time for that, nor do I have the capacity for that much extra stress, having to worry about all my friends trades as well as my own. I'm sorry, but the vast majority of people don't spend their free time "working" for their friends for free and that doesn't make them selfish, it just makes them a normal human being. It's not fair to expect that I should work for them for free no matter how much it might help my friends. I'm also just not willing to help someone who isn't willing to at least put in a minimal amount of effort themselves. And that's not even mentioning that crypto markets are 24/7 and many of these trades need you to be aware of what's going on all the time. Nobody has the fucking time or resources for the stress of all your friends trades on top of your own, you absolute loonies. [link] [comments] | ||

VCRA 100% held by institution with low FLOAT Posted: 23 Dec 2021 10:51 AM PST Check out this interesting play original dd is underneath VCRA - the Boomer Rip: +100% institution holds & low IV hedges📷 This is happening real-time (read: now) so I'm going to get right to the point. Vocera (VCRA) provides and sells wireless solutions (software and hardware) to hospitals and various industries. They're profitable and doing great. More later. What you need to know is that shorts are closing for EOY rebalance. This is a huge problem for them as institutions hold so much of the stock that the trading float is literally virtually 0. The liquidity is so bad that even small shorts closing out are spiking all time highs. Meanwhile, calls are very cheap since nobody knows about this boomer stock. Open interest on the Jan exp is effectively 0 and implied vol is only 50%\*. 📷 As shares and calls are purchased, I am betting on a sustained bleed up of closing shorts, low liquidity, and OTF long term holders who aren't selling. My aim is far beyond the 70c strike. Summary
About Vocera (VCRA) offers the leading platforms for workflow and communication. They create and sell both softwares and hardwares to healthcare professionals and many retail service enterprises. They are killing it. Vocera is deployed in nearly 20% of all U.S. hospitals. Their expanded deployments, while aggressive, have only been matched by further company developments. For example, VCRA's pivot to software-led enterprise sales was utilized in a Cleveland Clinic expansion in Q3 as one example in their second largest deal ever signed. They have been winning contract after contract flawlessly. VCRA delivered a nearly perfect Q3 with revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS beating consensus estimates. FY21 was raised for the 3rd time this year. Recent upgrades include: Dec 20: Hallum $71 outperform Nov 29: Sandler $68 overweight Nov 22: BTIG $70 buy So what, great company? Well firms have been loading up nonstop and now we have yet another fully share-utilized company. Eight Years of +100% Institutional Holdings = null float 📷 Institutional holdings have shown +100% for 8 consecutive years because so many of the firms are OTF holders who won't sell. This is very important. The 30 biggest funds hold and have been holding 31.7m shares (that's 92% of all outstanding shares) for years now. They won't be selling anytime soon. These funds hold for 5, 10, 20 years. I included the share history below. Note that there are no lock-ups expiring. There are no warrants. There is no convertible share trap waiting to explode. It is simply a small float. 📷 I'll say it again: the largest buyers aren't selling and leave less than 3m (true number is closer to 0) shares for shorts to purchase to cover their shares. Lower float = lower liquidity = stronger moves. Rally into EOY
As funds rebalance and close out positions before January, the low liquidity environment of VCRA will prompt large losses leading to more shorts covering. Shares outstanding: 34.8m (bloomberg) Institutional shares: 31.7m-34m (bloomberg) Float: 0-3m shares Short interest: 3.5m (FINRA) Short interest % of float: 100% or greater 📷 There are no incremental flows to this stock. The fundamental momentum pushing this stock higher is enough to create substantial gains in price due to shorts rebalancing alone. Factor in a gamma and vanna spike due to introducing options, and what results might have some fireworks. The contracts are priced with low volatility 📷 Historical vol is pretty low compared with the large daily moves. As an example, the 60c at close yesterday was $5.8 (b/e at $65.8), which we're close to hitting already. The spreads are jumping around - some brokers don't even show the correct numbers. Of course IV will increase as calls are purchased, but how the MM will react is unknown whether it is via purchasing shares or hedging volatility via selling other contracts. No contracts are being opened for Feb and beyond today so I'm assuming shares are being hedged. Positions 📷 + others and shares. This is a slow bleed up. My aim is to hold these through the 31st though moves can be quick and sudden in the near term. Cheers update 12/22 1:30pm New strikes, as predicted. Closer dated are more impactful 📷 [link] [comments] | ||

Looking for a bit of advice as a small time rookie investor! 30 yr old Canadian Posted: 22 Dec 2021 06:39 PM PST Hey all. So I've been lurking here for quite a while and been trying to do my research. I'm 30 years old and can really only manage to invest about $100 every couple weeks, as I just bought a house a year ago. What are some good, long term stocks to invest in for retirement? I'm Canadian, so I've been putting my current amount into CN Rail, TD, BTC, and have put a bit into SHIB(Which I'm not putting more into). I'm Canadian, if it matters, and have been using Wealthsimple. I can switch to a different app/site if it makes more sense! Thank you for all serious answers lol [link] [comments] | ||
Here is a Market Recap for today Wednesday, December 22, 2021 Posted: 22 Dec 2021 01:48 PM PST PsychoMarket Recap - Wednesday, December 22, 2021 Stocks traded mostly higher on Wednesday, with all three major indexes extending yesterday's gains, as market participants digested FDA approval of a Pfizer's (PFE) oral coronavirus treatment and new reports about US gross-domestic product (GDP) and consumer confidence. Notable Numbers
Pfizer's antiviral COVID-19 pill for at-risk people aged 12 and above, making it the first oral treatment which can be taken at home, providing a potentially important tool in the fight against the fast-spreading Omicron variant. The pill, called Paxlovid, was nearly 90% effective in preventing hospitalizations and deaths in patients at high risk of severe illness, according to data from the company's clinical trial. Recent lab data suggests the drug retains its effectiveness against Omicron, Pfizer said. Omicron has overtaken other coronavirus variants to become the dominant strain in the U.S., and now accounts for about three-quarters of new infections, according to the CDC. To fight this, the Biden administration announced it was buying 500 million at-home rapid coronavirus tests that Amercians will be able to order online for free starting in January. https://finance.yahoo.com/finance/news/cdc-omicron-accounted-73-recent-230445514.html In the latest estimate from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, third-quarter U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) was revised higher. Analysts now expect GDP to show a 2.3% annualized increase in economic activity in Q3, up from the 2.1% rise previously estimated. The Conference Board's highly anticipated Consumer Confidence Index report showed a greater than expected increase in December. The institution's headline index crept higher to 115.8 in December, based on the latest release. This was above the 111.0 expected, according to Bloomberg consensus data. Lynn Franco, senior director of economic indicators at The Conference Board, said "Consumer confidence improved further in December, following a very modest gain in November. Expectations about short-term growth prospects improved, setting the stage for continued growth in early 2022. The proportion of consumers planning to purchase homes, automobiles, major appliances, and vacations over the next six months all increased." She continued, "Meanwhile, concerns about inflation declined after hitting a 13-year high last month as did concerns about COVID-19, despite reports of continued price increases and the emergence of the Omicron variant," Franco added. Looking ahead to 2022, both confidence and consumer spending will continue to face headwinds from rising prices and an expected winter surge of the pandemic." Highlights

Morning Update for Wednesday, 12/22/21 Posted: 22 Dec 2021 06:21 AM PST Good morning everyone, it's hump day. These posts are for informational purposes only. I am not a financial advisor. Main Watchlist: Gapping UP:
Gapping DOWN:
Momentum Watchlist:
Market Outlook: Stocks are looking at a mixed open this morning after we saw some nice strength in the market yesterday. We have had some nice volatility the past few weeks, and it will likely continue given the uncertainties in the market at the moment. A lot of mixed opinions from analysts; some believe that omicron concerns have been priced in for some time, while others think we should brace for more choppiness through the end of the year and into 2022. Remember to use proper risk management; size appropriately for your account and have a plan for every trade you enter. Happy trading everyone :) [link] [comments] | ||
