Long ATM Straddle John Deere with LOW IVR = CHEAPWe purchased an at the money straddle for a small debit of only 3.22. This trade is notably cheap because the IVR is extremely low: 2%. Being a long straddle (buying the calls and puts at 165), we are giving ourself unlimited profit, risking a limited $322 per contract. We take our neutral position because of the positive characteristics of the trade itself, but the fundamental conditions further our thought. With an equity value of over 51 billion, John Deere is a company with significantly large exposure to China, and Chinese trade tensions. Also, interest rates have a somewhat direct effect on the profitability of this corporation. Financial Services comprises 9.2% of Deere's market cap, so as cuts in July become more of a reality, the profitability of the Financial Services division will be affected, possibly drastically. Lower rates mean lower borrowing costs for Deere, and could cause the stock to move outside of the breakevens to lead to profits. Also, the technicals indicate the high possibility of large movements prior to maturity. The RSI, MFI and Stochastics all indicate an overbought sentiment, and the DMI DI+ and DI- indicate change in direction. The PSaR also has recently switched direction.

QUDIAN INC - NYSE: $QD Buyers Becoming More Aggressive?After recapturing its 200 DMA back in April, QUDIAN INC - NYSE:QD continues to grind its way into higher ground in a slow methodical manner as we can observe from the Daily chart above. While further work is required, we're taking note that Buyers may becoming more aggressive as the stock continues to make higher lows and mild higher highs. Furthermore, QD presently finds itself trading above all of its important moving averages 20/50/200 DMA's and remains in fine technical shape. Additionally, when one extends out on both the Weekly and Monthly time-frames, we can also see that QD continues to display favorable technical characteristics. Thus, we have a stock trading in a favorable light across multiple time-frames, which is indicative of a favorable trend, which remains higher. Moving forward, both investors/traders may want to continue to monitor the action closely and in particular, should QD be capable of clearing the $8.51 hurdle at any time in the days/weeks ahead, such development, should it occur, would likely signal/trigger its next meaningful advance with and objective in the $10 -$12 zone.
