In Monday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take a look at tech manufacturing firm Applied Materials ahead of its Nov. 17 earnings date.
The bulls tried their best, but Monday’s afternoon rally wasn’t enough to overcome a volatile start to the week.
Traders should expect some consolidation following this past week’s breakout move higher…
But even with a pause in the trend, we’re still seeing heavy earnings flow and short-term weekly options hit the tape.
One name to watch this week is Applied Materials after shares jumped 13.5% in the past week ahead of the company’s earnings release on Thursday.
My scanners picked up repeat buying in the semiconductor equipment-maker Monday, with one big-money buyer scooping up about 1,700 contracts of the Dec. 16 expiration, $120 strike calls for around $424,000 in premium!
The way I see it, active day and short-term swing trading is where traders want to be in this market… And that’s why we keep our eyes on institutional options flow like this…
- Applied Materials Inc. (Nasdaq: AMAT): Dec. 16, $120 CALL.
- Netflix Inc. (Nasdaq: NFLX): Nov. 18, $302.50 CALL.
- Tesla Inc. (Nasdaq: TSLA): Nov. 18, $200 CALL.
