Optioneering Newsletter

April 8, 2018

Mini Dow Futures Monthly

We trade with the trend and the long-term trend is up. The bears have had
the momentum recently. The current pullback is expected to be followed by
a continued bull trend.

The first profit opportunity we will review this week is in NFLX, or Netflix.
Netflix is the world’s leading streaming television network. As of January 2018,
Netflix had 117.58 million paying subscribers worldwide, including 54.75
million in the United States.
NFLX Monthly

The monthly chart shows that NFLX hit a new record high last month. New
record highs are bullish.
NFLX Daily

The daily chart for NFLX is clearly bullish. The pullback to the Lower Keltner
Channel gives us a buying opportunity.

We are going to review a call debit spread for NFLX.

Traders who want a more leveraged approach could consider buying NFLX
calls. NFLX has options expiring every week until May 25th. After that, NFLX
has options expiring in June, September, January 2019, and January 2020.
Buy to Open NFLX May 18th expiration 255-strike Call
Sell to Open NFLX May 18th expiration 270-strike Call

We can see from the Call Option Spread Analysis Calculator that if the NFLX
stock price declines by -5%, stays where it is, or increases when the options
expire, the spread will make a 36.4%, or $400 profit. If the NFLX stock price is
down -7.5% when the options expire, the spread will make a 10.8% or $119
profit.

The next profit opportunity we will review this week is in EDU, or New Oriental
Education & Technology Group Inc. New Oriental is a provider of private
educational services in China. New Oriental is the largest comprehensive
private educational company in China based on the number of program
offerings, total student enrollments, and geographic presence.
EDU Monthly

The monthly chart shows that EDU has been in a very strong bull trend since
2015. The pullback from this year’s record high is expected to yield to a further
advance.
EDU Daily

The daily chart displays a clear bullish pattern of high highs and higher lows.
The pullback to the Mid-Line of the Keltner Channel gives us a buying
opportunity.

EARNINGS SEASON: There are four “Earnings Seasons” a year. The


seasons begin in January, April, July, and October and they each last
about two months. The earnings reports can have an impact on the stock
price. We don’t know if the impact is going to be positive or negative (or
nothing at all). It’s up to you to decide if you want to be in a trade when the
earnings report is announced. Here’s a link for a page that can help you
keep track of the report dates:
