THE WEEK AHEAD: PDD, BIDU, TGT, NVDA, LOW EARNINGSEARNINGS: PDD (72/92): Friday, before market open. BIDU (81/61): Monday, before market open. TGT (55/49): Wednesday, after market close. NVDA (51/62): Thursday, before market open. LOW (51/63): Wednesday, after market close. Both PDD and BIDU are ADR's, so look to put on plays post-announcement to catch earnings afterglow, if at all. The dates of their announcements tend to be "soft," meaning they're subject to change, and there's nothing more disconcerting than putting on a volatility contraction play, only to have earnings not occur when they're initially supposed to. Pictured here is an NVDA short strangle in the June cycle with break evens wide of one standard deviation. Off hours, it's pricing out at 10.35, but markets are wide. Because it's rather large, consider going iron condor, looking to collect at least one third the width of the wings in credit (e.g., the June 19th 275/280/405/410, paying 1.73 at the mid price). SECTOR EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS, ORDERED BY RANK AND SCREENED FOR >30-DAY IMPLIED: SLV (57/41) EWW (56/46) GDXJ (51/61) SMH (49/49) GDX (44/51) XLE (44/52) EWZ (44/60) EEM (44/60) XLU (42/31) XOP (34/67) USO (13/78) BROAD MARKET, ORDERED BY RANK: IWM (60/47) TQQQ (53/99) EEM (43/34) QQQ (36/32) SPY (33/31) IRA DIVIDEND-PAYERS ORDERED BY RANK: IYR (61/44) EWA (49/42) EWZ (44/60) EEM (43/34) XLU (42/31) EFA (38/28) HYG (34/19) SPY (33/31) EMB (27/22) TLT (24/20) With acquisitional plays for a retirement account, it's not necessarily "all about the premium"; it's partly about price, so it will pay to look at a few charts to determine which of these are trading at a discount relative to where they've been. That being said, having a higher background implied is of benefit, since it will result in a lower break even relative to strike price than were implied not as high and getting in lower is always better in the retirement account. For instance, I'm not in "acquisition mode" for TLT, not only because of its low implied, but because it's at or near all-time highs, moves inversely to yield, and doesn't necessarily have all that much room to move higher given the current interest rate environment. Conversely, EMB and HYG implied aren't all that great (treasury and/or bond funds are not known for having high volatility, generally), but both got absolutely crushed in the mid-March closely correlated sell-off, so I could see selling out-of-the-money puts in those instruments, assuming they were at levels I'd be comfortable with acquiring. (See HYG, EMB Posts Below). Granted, these are large ticket items and not everyone is going to be able to go out there and sell a three-rung, SPY 16 delta short put ladder; the price tag is hefty. However, implied metrics can be informational for even those with smaller accounts. At the very least, these metrics are saying: "Look at me. I'm moving", and -- in the vast majority of cases -- they say, I've moved lower and that this may be the time to pick up some shares, even if they're fractional. Over time, fractional shares aggregate into one lots that you can proceed to cover and reduce cost basis more efficiently, as well as generate cash flow on top of dividends.

FANG+ Stocks: Buoyed in 2020 by Solid Earnings and Low RatesFor those who have followed my ideas over the past several months at-least, know that I remained bullish not only in the entire stock market on a broad basis, but US Tech was one of my top picks for continued growth which has deemed correct. I went on to say that 2020 will be a better year from peak to peak growth over the broader markets than 2019 which for now, is correct. In-fact, even compared to "experts" across the lamestream media, I was one of the very few that actually believe 2020 would be a better year for the broader market than 2019 and not only has this deemed correct, but it will remain correct. FNGU represents one of the best leveraged funds in the entire market and significantly better than the popular TQQQ, and even superior to the other popular 3x ETF TECL. The companies the stock follows are diversified in a 10% weighted classification which is reset quarter by quarter. In 2020 I view all 10 of these boasting significant and continued growth. - Tesla (My TP: 1000+) - Nvidia (My TP: 350) - Alibaba (My TP: 275-300; if Chinese GDP rebounds in Q2 then 400+) - Bidu (My TP: 175-200; if Chinese GDP rebounds in Q2 then 250+) - Twitter (My TP: 45) - Facebook (My TP: 250-275) - Apple (My TP: 375-400) - Amazon (My TP: 2800-3200) - Netflix (My TP: 425-450) - Google (My TP: 1600+) Of those listed above, Tesla, Nvidia, Apple and Amazon all have posted historic earnings; Netflix and Google posted decent earnings; Alibaba and Bidu continue to be remarkably undervalued given the current state of the virus, however, this will change by Q2 or Q3 of 2020; and Twitter and Facebook will likely rebound and show signs of strength as the year progresses. In the long-run, Nvidia will be a dominant force in the AI market; BIDU and BABA will likely go on some sort of parabolic run to 3-4x their current stock value and Tesla will become a world dominant force in the EV and battery market. While normally 3:1 ETFs hold an inherent risk, given the diversification in this fund, one can capitalize on significant growth appreciation by investing into this ETF. By the end of 2020 FNGU could and will likely triple in numerical value from current price (~100/share) buoyed ahead by decent earnings growth and likely the Fed lowering rates at-least twice in 2020. An important technical note: once the SPX gets closer to 4000, investors should reduce their exposure to high risk ETFs as 4000 represents the peak of the longitudinal channel on EW theory. Investors should also reduce risk closer to late 2020 (October-ish) if the Democrats (particularly Bernie Sanders) have an elevated risk of winning the election based on polls. - zSplit
