YELP trade ideas
EARNINGS: SOLD YELP SEPT 16TH 26/38 STRANGLE... for a 1.15 ($115)/contract credit.
Ordinarily, I look to set these up in expiries closer in time, but I'm going out to the monthly to collect additional credit, give myself more time/room to be right ... .
Will shoot to take this off at 50% max profit (~.57 ($57)/contract debit).

NEXT WEEK EARNINGS PLAY POSSIBLES: YELP, KORS, NVDACurrently, there are three earnings announcements next week that meet my >70% implied volatility rank, >50% implied volatility standards: YELP, KORS, and NVDA and that offer up at least 1.00 ($100)/contract in credit for my troubles.
Preliminarily:
YELP Aug 19th 26.5/38 short strangle goes for 1.09 ($109)/contract at the mid (Tuesday after market close).
KORS Aug 19th 44/56.5 short strangle goes for 1.15 ($115)/contract at the mid (Wednesday before market open).
NVDA Aug 19th 50.5/60.5 short strangles for for 1.11 ($111)/contract at the mid (Thursday after market close).
YELP, buy n hold with small riskJezuz christ, what a Feb wick
while still uncertain of the future prospectus,
it is good time to long for me.
I know it is very high consider the downside i have to stomach in if price breaks back to 13-15
Just a 50shares, it wont kill me
in fact, saw this on 15th April,
hence the entry was on 18th April when market opens
20.85
once it breaks the downtrend line it should be good
YELP breakdown but can it fill the gap?Initially, when I saw the gap down on YELP, I thought this stock looked good to short for a near-term gain. I usually concentrate on the weekly and daily timeframes and, with the gap down breaking through previous support, the $50 half figure and with higher volume, this looked like a great shorting opportunity - as there appeared to be no further support for some time.
But a quick glance at the monthly chart showed a gap up in 2013 - at the same level YELP is trading right now. If this is an island reversal pattern then we should continue to see price fall - as analysis from the daily timeframe suggests.
But, as I was considering YELP as a near-term opportunity, price could drop too fast - possibly gapping down again past the lower value of the 2013 gap up ($42.84). This means I may not get a position filled at the price I want.
The safer option here is to wait for price to trade below $42.84. If this is indeed a reversal island then price should continue its bearish move down beyond this point.
