Opening (IRA): EWZ July 19th 31 Monied Covered Call... for a 30.31 debit. Comments: Decent 30-day IV at 34.0%, but I'm primarily looking to position myself to grab the June dividend. IV is skewed to the put side in this underlying, so the general go-to would be short put, but to grab the dividend, you have to be in stock. Because I want the extrinsic in the short call to exceed any dividend, I'm basically going at-the-money/slightly monied with the short call and will look to manage the position after the dividend drops. Unfortunately, the distribution has been wildly variant, so it's hard to tell how much extrinsic to keep in the short call to diminish the prospect of being called away early due to some dick exercising their long call early to grab the dividend. Metrics (Sans Dividend): Break Even/Buying Power Effect: 30.31 Max Profit: .69 ROC at Max: 2.28% ROC at 50% Max: 1.14%

Petrobras Uncovered: A Dividend Gem with Potential? Petrobras' ON N2 shares from Brazil are particularly interesting, notably due to their high dividend yield. As the largest oil producer in Brazil and one of the biggest in South America, this stock holds significant importance over the coming years. It has experienced a strong rise, with our Wave (2) starting at 2.2 Brazilian Reals. Since then, it has risen and completed Wave (3) at the 227.2% extension level. Now, we should be entering Wave (4) and ideally not fall below the level of 19 Brazilian Reals. For Wave (4), we expect a retracement level between 38,2% and 50%. Given that we're looking at the weekly chart, this represents a very long-term scenario. We'll definitely keep you updated and may provide short-term entry opportunities as they arise. In the coming months, we expect to develop Wave B and finally Wave C. After that, as previously mentioned, holding this stock long-term could be very beneficial due to the remarkably high and attractive dividend yield.

Opening (IRA): XLU April 19th 62 Covered Call... for a 60.31 debit. Comments: For lack of something better to do, looking to grab the March dividend here, which should be in the vicinity of .60/share. The top 5, options liquid dividend-yielding ETF's are: EWZ (10.90%) (paid twice a year in June and December); EFA (5.27%) (paid twice a year in June and December); XLE (3.78%) (paid in March, June, September, December); XLU (3.16%) (paid in March, June, September, December); EEM (3.10%) (paid in June and December); EWW (3.08%) (paid in June and December). Will look to roll out the short call on test of my break even, but will otherwise leave it mostly alone until the dividend drops into my account, which should occur sometime in the third week of March.

Navigating a Downward Channel: A Journey to Potential UpsideWelcome to a comprehensive breakdown of the IGR setup – a compelling narrative rooted in technical analysis that may uncover a path to potential gains. Check out the video, as I delve into the reasons underpinning my decision to hold a current position in IGR, while keeping risk management in this turbulent market in mind. Firstly, we explore the mechanics of a downward channel, often considered a bullish indicator, which is poised for an upside breakout after several touches against resistance. I'll guide you through my anticipation of the stock's trajectory towards a target, accompanied by a strategic management of entry and exit points. My approach combines a tight stop loss coupled with a keen eye on partial profit targets, ensuring a balanced risk management. However, the analysis doesn't stop with patterns. The setup also encompasses fundamental factors that add another layer of interest – notably the stock's consistent history of dividend payments through market upheavals, even during the 2008 crisis and the tumult of 2020. We ponder the implications of a sizeable estimated dividend yield that provides not only trade value but also potential for long-term holding as a dividend stock. Additionally, insider buying acts as a crucial signal in our evaluation, hinting at the confidence held by those with intimate knowledge of the stock’s inner workings. The final piece of our analytical puzzle extends to examining the weekly chart, revealing a pattern that suggests bullish sentiment, supported by a strong trend line dating back 16 years – an invaluable insight for those studying long-term support levels. Remember, the choices traders make must be informed by rigorous research and consultation with financial advisors where necessary. This exploration is intended for educational purposes, offering a peek into the strategic thinking that informs intelligent trading decisions.

FRONTLINE PLC Long - Dollar Cost AverageThis is an analysis of Frontline PLC - a Norwegian oil transportation company, the following is strictly my own personal opinion and does not constitute financial advice. Key numbers: Dividend yield expected 2024 - 17% P/B - 2.03 P/E - 5.41 Market cap 47 178 MNOK (4.5 BUSD) Analyst estimates: Analyst estimate average for FRO is 267.5 NOK which is equivalent to a 32.3% increase from todays price. Key information: FRO has had a significant increase in price the past 6 months, and analysts estimate an increase in both dividends and growth for the company in the coming years. Technical analysis: FRO made a bullish divergence on the 195-200 support level recently, after a significant sell off the past few weeks the stock did not even drop as a result of dividends being paid out to stock holders, and I see this as a sign of the stock being about to reverse the downwards trend and begin to move back towards my price target of 260-280. Strategy: I am currently in possession of FRO shares with a GAV of 150 NOK/Share as well as increasing my position on friday for 200 NOK/Share. I am looking to hold these shares until price reaches 260-300 NOK/Share depending on coming events. If the price keeps moving down, I will look to hold my position until the stock reaches my price target regardless, as the dividend payout is significant. This might change if significantly bearish news arise, but I do not see that as a high probability at this moment. If price reaches my profit target, I will again look at analyst estimates and given there is no change I will exit my position for a significant gain. If analyst estimates increase I will either close part of my position or hold it until bearish divergence on the 4H timeframes.

The Bank of Japan can’t let goThis week financial markets were dominated by central banks policy decisions. While the Federal Reserve (Fed) and Bank of England (BOE) kept rates on hold, the policy board of the Bank of Japan (BOJ) decided to further increase the flexibility in its yield curve control policy. The BOJ previously set a strict cap of 1.0% for the 10-year Japanese Government Bond (JGB) yield. But it has now decided that 1% should be a “reference” (not a strict cap), which effectively allows the yield to rise above 1% when the BOJ thinks it is appropriate. The upper bound of 1% appears to be a level they can’t let go of. By doing so, the BOJ is choosing an exit path that gives them the maximum flexibility but minimum volatility around the Yen. We view this as a dovish move as consensus expectations were for the BOJ to move the cap to 1.25% rather than 1%. Japan’s remains on a narrow path One of the reasons holding back the BOJ from normalisation of policy rates, is they still believe Japan’s recovery since the re-opening in October 2022 remains on a narrow path as it relies heavily on tourism, while the broader services sectors have yet to pick up significantly and manufacturing activity has been hampered by soft exports. Japan’s flash PMI readings for October showed us a bifurcated economy where the services sector is stronger than the manufacturing sector. Manufacturing PMI clocked in at 47.6, which is in contraction territory. Services PMI was 51.1, which is down from last month’s reading of 53.8 but is still in expansion territory, no doubt helped by fiscal stimulus and the accommodative monetary policy environment. BOJ on the lookout for an intensified virtuous cycle between wages and prices BOJ governor Ueda indicated that the BoJ will be monitoring the upcoming spring union-employer wage negotiations. A strong outcome could catalyse the earlier attainment of sustained inflation in Japan, but overall, Japan’s recovery isn’t strong enough yet for employers, especially small enterprises, to meaningful support wage hikes in the broad economy. While headline inflation bolted north of 4% in January 2023, it appears to have peaked and has begun receding. While core inflation remains around the 4% mark. The Producer Price Index (PPI) slowed to 2% annually in September suggesting a stabilization or even drop in CPI ahead. The BOJ revised its outlook for core inflation (all items less fresh food and energy) to 3.8% in FY23, 1.9% for FY24 and 1.9% for FY25. The BoJ stated that the inflation uptick “needs to be accompanied by an intensified virtuous cycle between wages and prices”. The Yen is unlikely to appreciate under BOJ’s policy change owing to the large gap in interest rates between the US and Japan. The direction of the Yen matters for Japanese equities owing to Japan high export tilt. The exporters stand to benefit amidst a weaker Yen. Fire power abounds for Japanese equities Japanese equities had a strong first half in 2023, attaining 33-year highs. Yet valuations at 15.7x price to earnings ratio (P/E), still trade at a 30% discount to its 15-year average providing room to catch up. More importantly, earnings revision estimates in Japan are currently the highest among the major economies. Earnings yield at 4.07% for the Nikkei 225 Index has been trending above bond yields 0.947% for 10 Year JGBs , keeping the well-known TINA (There is no Alternative) trade alive in favour of Japanese equities. Tailwind from corporate governance reforms Tokyo Stock Exchange’s (TSE) call for listed companies to focus on achieving sustainable growth and enhancing corporate value is beginning to bear fruit. The call was aimed at companies with a price to book (P/B) ratio below one. Those companies were asked to develop a plan for improvement, disclose and then implement and track its progress. The progress has been encouraging with 31% of companies on the prime market making a disclosure of their plan . Large companies with a price to book ratio below one have been more proactive with disclosure. Historically cash-heavy Japanese companies face increasing pressure to improve their numbers, possibly by funnelling historically high excess cash reserves into increased buybacks or dividends. Conclusion Inflation has been missing in Japan for more than a decade. So now that it has arrived aided by the post pandemic pick up of the Japanese economy, policy makers are not in a rush to obliterate it. With wage growth lagging behind inflation, the Bank of Japan does not appear ready to wean itself from Yield Curve Control until a more intensified virtuous cycle is observed between wages and prices. The BOJ’s policy decision this week is unlikely to allow the appreciation of the Yen, which should continue to provide a competitive advantage to Japanese exporters.

PEAB - Great opportunity for a long-term holdPEAB is a construction company based in Sweden, if you are interested in dividend stocks this might be something for you. PEAB looks very promising in these areas. The housing market is on the verge of an upturn again, and interest rates are likely to start decreasing next year. I see no reason not to invest in the company right now, given its current valuation, and hold for many years to come. I have bought some shares at these levels. If you factor in the annual inflation we have, PEAB is not far from the 2008 low, and that bottom was extreme. In my opinion, we are currently very oversold.

3M Company (MMM) | Technically ready!3M Company (MMM) 3M is a multinational conglomerate that has operated since 1902, when it was known as Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing. The company is well known for its research and development laboratory and it leverages its science and technology across multiple product categories. As of 2020, 3M is organized into four business segments: safety and industrial, transportation and electronics, healthcare, and consumer. Nearly 50% of the company's revenue comes from outside the Americas, with the safety and industrial segment constituting a plurality of net sales. Many of the company's 60,000-plus products touch and concern a variety of consumers and end markets. A quite good dividend stock has arrived at the destination, hopefully :) MMM has come down from its all-time high of more than 60%. So, to buy this you need to make also a bit of work with fundamentals but technically, as said, it has arrived inside a possible buying zone. The technical criteria are: 1. Old resistance back in 2004 to 2012, starts to act as a support level. Yes, you can and actually you have to look back as far as possible to determine the strongest areas on the chart. The world has changed but human psychologic is still the same! 2. Mentioned many times that you have to keep an eye on the round numbers. Here is also the round number $100 and it matches with other criteria. 3. Channel projection, white lines. Typically the price moves inside the channels and sometimes it helps to find a decent support level. Currently, the projection runs nicely through the optimal buying zone. 4. Equal waves (AB=CD) and the D point, which completes the pattern, staying inside the buying zone. 5. All-time Fibonacci Golden ratio 62%. Basically draw from an all-time low to an all-time high and the Golden ratio is also there to add a bit of strength to the possible reversal area. Technically an optimal buying zone could be $80 - $102 First targets $135-$150 Good luck!

How I go about Dividends as a Trader!Q. “In your view how do you go about with dividends as a trader and as an investor? Do you buy to chase dividends when they are declared or not? A. As a position trader (short term holder), I'm not really interested in buying companies for the dividends released. That’s because I prefer to make money in the short term with the trades I take, according to my short term strategy and analysis. But if I did have an investor mentality and I wanted to take advantage of buying companies for dividends, I would do a number of things. These include: First I would do my own thorough research and due diligence on the company's overall financial health and performance. Second, I would look at the dividend history of each company to see more or less what I would have earned over the last couple of years. Also, if you look at the history of the dividend, it will help you determine whether it's a reliable company to buy. I personally don't believe it's a good idea to chase dividends with stocks. I have also never met anyone that makes money chasing dividends in the short term. The problem is when the dividend is released, the share price tends to drop quite significantly. And you could end up losing more money because of the share price drop, rather than the money you gain through the dividends. This means, you could be stuck holding onto the shares and positions for the next couple of weeks or even months, waiting for the price to recover. Reply: *Hey Timon, thanks for comprehensive respond. It cleared my confusion as a trader when it comes to dividends.

WFC - Bearish but Dividend PendingWFC is up about 10% over the last month and even more since Dec of last year, however the weekly price closed down last week, and is now down two weeks in a row. Several bearish indications are suggesting a pull-back in price. However WFC will issue a dividend payment to shareholders on March 1st which is supporting the current price. Overall the WFC price appears to be breaking down/out of a multi-week wedge. I see limited upside and near term downside due to QT effects and overall liquidity issues in the market, and more specifically for WFC due to the reasons listed below. 1. High volume resistance associated with a significant +12% sell-off week of Feb 5th 2018. That week WFC had closing price of $47.57 and a low of $47.35. WFC has tried and failed to move through this area for the last three weeks. 2. Significant sell off at/near current price occurred in early 2020 - associated with 'global liquidity issues' a few months before the COVID crash. Week of Jan 13, 2020 WFC's price dropped over 6% on significant volume, falling from $48.35 to $45.28 adding significant resistance at/near current price range. 3. Trendline resistance - Trendline drawn off Jan 2018 and Nov 2021 highs and other significant trendlines continue to cap current price. Further, mid-line regression trend resistance is in-play as measured off the Oct 2020 low. 4. Potential double top formation. A double top with a re-test of the recent Nov 22 highs is currently in play/occurring for WFC. 5. Bearish Volume Trends - Buyers appear to be exiting in mass on the weekly timeframe. Similar trend as seen in late 2022 and early 2023 when the WFC price dropped by over 20%. Also of note - WFC was one of the stocks that dropped like a rock at the open on January 24th of this year and was "halted" with many trades being cancelled - not exactly sure what happened that day but I see it as a potential sign of things to come. Generally looking for WFC to move down during March 2023 after the $0.30 dividend payment on March 1st. NFA!

Future of RIO, BHP and the sectorI have had a pretty large position in RIO and BHP since end of July 2022, I bought expecting the market to recover and for copper/iron demand to jump from the re-opening of China and the rest of the world. These positions have given me quite the return with their pretty high yields. Having said this, we can see that the steam from the market's comeback has slowed down, copper, iron and ore prices in general have met some resistance and both RIO and BHP have taken a step back from their highs. I don't think there is much more gain to be made with these stocks even though their structure and their fundamentals are highly attractive. I like to invest in one sector at a time, trying to spot which one will be the next to glow up. I think the mining and refining sector has had it's run. Therefore, I'll most probably be exiting my positions in both these companies after collecting dividends and the most probable upside from the upcoming earnings. Extra: I am mostly exiting my position because of what I said above, but I've slowly started to consider the rising tensions between China and the western world. Though sanctions would be an economical blunder for everyone in play, having your biggest consumers be in a cat fight is certainly not preferable for business.
