UBOT is an ETF that tracks the performance of stocks that are in the artificial intelligence & automation space, that is 3x leveraged.
UBOT is focused in areas that may be less impacted than other market segments in the event of another COVID-related shutdown, which is why it may be a good idea to add it to your watchlist.
UBOT has no options to use an a hedge, so using an inverse NASDAQ ETF may be your best bet.
UBOT Share Price: $188.00
10 Day Moving-Average: $190.81
50 Day Moving-Average: $$167.19
200 Day Moving-Average: $118.33
RSI: 61
UBOT’s share price has dipped under the 10 Day Moving-Average, which is not a great sign in the near-term, so I would be more focused on keeping an eye on their performance before finding an entry.
I would focus on their RSI & seeing if there is more pain to come in the share price, or if it is able to break free of the 10 Day Moving-Average, and re-test the $195-196ish level successfully.
UBOT is something I will be looking at for an entry, but not acting on until I see a little more convincing evidence that they are on sturdy footing.
With that said, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t short-term entry opportunities for traders to capitalize on in the meantime.
Ever-Glory International Group, Inc. stock trades under the ticker EVK & has recently shown technical strength worth taking a closer look at.
EVK stock closed for trading on 10/22/2020 at $2.60/share, and is up an additional 20% in pre-market trading.
EVK stock does not have options, so for an effective hedge, traders should consider buying long shares or options in an inverse NASDAQ ETF or an inverse retail ETF such as ONLN, EMTY or CLIX, as EVK focuses on retail supply chains (particularly for fashion).
EVK Stock Price: $2.60
10 Day Moving-Average: $1.05
50 Day Moving-Average: $0.99
200 Day Moving-Average: $1.09
RSI: 60
With an RSI of 60, there appears to be more room to run, as EVK is not signaling to be over-bought, and supply chain companies will always be needed, even if there is another COVID-related shutdown.
Ever-Glory International Group, Inc.’s 10 Day Moving-Average just crossed its 50 Day Moving-Average, and is poised to blow through the 200 Day Moving-Average, showing more signs of strength lie ahead.
Based on all the above, there seems to be more opportunity for traders to capitalize on further growth in EVK’s stock for a short-term trade.
I am looking to get into EVK today, but not anticipating holding it very long.
Dragon Victory International LTD. stock trades under the ticker LYL & has recently displayed strong technical performance.
LYL stock closed for trading at $3.2499/share on 10/21/2020.
For the last week they have been trending heavily upwards, with a bit of a pullback yesterday (-8%), and they may go down a bit more today as NASDAQ futures are pointing to a down day (-0.42% as of my writing this at 6:15 am).
LYL does not have options, so a hedge may be an inverse micro-cap ETF, such as RWM, TWM, or TZA (through common shares, or call options, as depending on the Greeks there may be a better deal).
LYL Stock Price: $3.24
10 Day Moving-Average: $1.38
50 Day Moving-Average: $1.15
200 Day Moving-Average: $1.14
RSI: 81
Overall, LYL looks to have some strength still that can be capitalized on, as long as traders are cognizant of the hedge opportunities that are available to them.
Otherwise, I would be eyeing their charts to find the best entry point for a short-term LYL stock trade.
Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc. stock trades under the ticker NWBO, and has recently shown technical strength making it worth taking a closer look at.
NWBO closed for trading at $2.30 (+12.75%) yesterday, 10/20/2020.
NWBO stock does not have options, so the only way to trade it is through the common shares, so the best way of finding a hedge opportunity might be through something like BIS, which is the inverse NASDAQ BioTech ETF (note that NWBO is an OTC stock, not a member of the NASDAQ).
NWBO Stock Price: $2.30
10 Day Moving-Average: $1.14
50 Day Moving-Average: $0.683
200 Day Moving-Average: $0.354
RSI: 86
Their RSI currently signals over-bought conditions, which should even out as they establish more of a new range, after multiple gap-up days in October.
Their 1.46 Beta shows that there may be some more volatility to NWBO’s stock than the general markets, signaling that with the proper timing there should still be some opportunities for profits from Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc.’s stock.
Kaixin Auto Holdings stock trades under the ticker KXIN & has recently shown great technical strength.
KXIN stock closed for trading at $8.15/share on 10/19/20 (+~294%).
In pre-market trading (6:30 am ET) they have dropped down to $6.55 (-~20%), making it worth eyeing them for a potential entry point for a short-term trade.
KXIN Stock Price: $8.15
10 Day Moving-Average: $2.07
50 Day Moving-Average: $0.91
200 Day Moving-Average: $0.72
RSI: 74
While their pre-market price is reflecting somewhat of a shakeout of yesterday’s steep climb, there may be an entry today or tomorrow that can lead to profitable trades once the dust settles.
KXIN stock does not have options, so trading the ordinary shares are the only way to go about this, making the timing of your entry more important, but with futures currently set higher (NASDAQ Futures are +0.64% as I write this), Kaixin Auto Holdings stock may catch the rest of the index’s momentum & continue to climb.
Janus Henderson Group PLC trades under the ticker of JHG, and offers opportunities for both short-term traders & long-term investors.
JHG stock closed for trading at $28.13 on 10/16/2020, after showing lots of technical strength in the month of October.
Let’s break down Janus Henderson Group PLC’s stock further.
Janus Henderson Group PLC JHG Stock Fundamentals Broken Down
JHG stock is a bit unlike most of the stocks I review on this section of the site, with a P/E (ttm) of 74, but it does sport a P/B of 1.16 & a Dividend Yield of 5.11%.
This Dividend looks relatively safe, as their Payout Ratio is 66.2%.
JHG’s Market Cap is $5.09B, and their Total Cash (mrq) is $1.73B.
While their Beta is 1.42, the stock itself has only been trading for a few years.
One of the most interesting things about JHG’s stock, is that their Debt/Equity (ttm) is only 8.53, which likely is why they have a 65.2% % Institutional Ownership.
Their Technical Rating is 166.2, which is also a great sign.
Janus Henderson Group PLC JHG’s Stock Technical Performance
Janus Henderson Group’s stock has had an impressive October performance.
JHG Stock Price: $28.13
10 Day Moving-Average: $26.76
50 Day Moving-Average: $21.74
200 Day Moving-Average: $20.98
RSI: 78
This strength is surely attractive to short & medium term traders, although it may be reason for longer-term investors to wait for a more attractive entry point.
JHG stock also has options, making it easier for traders to benefit from price movement in either direction.
Janus Henderson Group’s stock also outperforms most of its peers:
JHG Technical Rating: 166.2
Financials Sector Avg. Rating: 0.80
Capital Markets Industry Avg. Rating: 22.43
Janus Henderson Group PLC JHG’s Stock Fundamentals Vs. The Financials Sector
JHG’s stock offers many advantages over their Financials Sector peers.
JHG’s P/B is almost 73% lower than the financials sector average, with a 13% above average Dividend Yield, supported by a Payout Ratio that is .93% less than the sector average.
JHG’s Debt/Equity (ttm) looks even more attractive when compared with the fianncials sector average.
JHG’s is ~95% less than the sector average, with a 40.2% higher than average % Institutional Ownership and an astounding 20,675% better than average Technical Rating.
There are a few things to be concerned about though for investors, including their P/E (ttm) that is 254.4% higher than the sector average for financials stocks & their 35% higher than average Beta.
Their Market Cap is almost 18% lower than average, which justifies their Total Cash (mrq) being ~86% below average.
Janus Henderson Group PLC JHG’s Stock Fundamentals Vs. The Capital Markets Industry Averages
Janus Henderson Group’s stock also looks very attractive when compared with the Capital Markets Industry average fundamentals.
JHG’s P/B is 82% lower than average, and their Payout Ratio is ~69% less than average.
JHG’s Debt/Equity (ttm) is 97% lower than their average Capital Markets Industry peer, contributing to their ~37% higher than average % Institutional Investors.
JHG’s Technical Rating is 641% better than average for their industry as well.
Many of the same troubles that they had vs. their sector peers are the same for their industry.
JHG’s P/E (ttm) is 139% higher than average for the Capital Markets Industry, and their Dividend Yield is ~16% lower than average.
JHG stock’s Market Cap is 32% less than average, and their Total Cash (mrq) is 79% less than average for the Capital Markets Industry.
Janus Henderson Group PLC JHG’s Stock Performance Vs. The S&P 500 & NASDAQ Indices
The historic data I referenced began tracking JHG’s performance on 5/30/2017.
One issue that investors may have is that since their inception, the stock itself has declined 6.5%.
However, when you factor in the dividends that investors would’ve collected, they have actually grown by 9.58%.
The S&P 500 has grown by 27.89% in that time period, excluding dividends collected.
JHG’s stock has also underperformed the NASDAQ in that time period, as the NASDAQ Index has grown 56.4%, excluding dividends.
To some investors this may be troubling, but the 5%+ yield should be able to win them over, using JHG as part of a balanced portfolio.
Janus Henderson Group PLC JHG’s Stock Credit Rating From Moody’s
Moody’s rates JHG’s credit as Baa2, a medium grade rating, meaning that JHG should be able to repay any and all short term debt relatively easily.
This is important, particularly in times like early 2020 where the market has been less forgiving to stocks with higher amounts of debt.
Combined with their Debt/Equity (mrq) this is a sign that investors like to see.
Tying It All Together
Janus Henderson Group’s stock has shown signals that appeal to both short & mid-term traders, as well as for longer term investors.
Their 5%+ Dividend Yield is especially attractive in times of economic uncertainty caused by the pandemic, and their Debt/Equity (mrq) is also highly appealing.
JHG stock’s technical performance should appeal to traders as well.
Whether or not you’re looking for a short-term trade, or a long-term investment, Janus Henderson Group is certainly worth taking a deeper look.
Owens & Minor, Inc. stock trades under the ticker OMI, and closed for trading at $26.62 on 10/15/2020.
After having recently shown technical strength, OMI stock has some interesting trade opportunities, both in common stock, as well as options.
With the gap between Owens & Minor, Inc.’s stock price & 10 Day Moving-Average getting closer, the 11/20 expiration $25 puts may be worth picking up.
This is especially important, given that we expect to see more volatility leading up to the election in a few weeks, and the $25 put’s Theta (time decay) is -0.0359, and their Vega (volatility:price sensitivity) is 0.0311.
From a OMI call options perspective, I would also be looking at the $25 strike price for 11/20 expiration calls. This way there is some cushion for the price to decline, and their Delta is 0.65, vs. the $22.50 call’s Delta of 0.78.
OMI Stock Price: $26.623
10 Day Moving-Average: $25.28
50 Day Moving-Average: $18.30
200 Day Moving-Average: $10.13
RSI: 70
For investors who are looking on a longer-term horizon, owning the common OMI shares is an option.
OMI is also a part of many ETFs, including XSVM (Invesco S&P SmallCap Value with Momentum ETF) , XHS (SPDR® S&P Health Care Services ETF) & CALF (Pacer US Small Cap Cash Cows 100 ETF), which will provide OMI exposure, while reducing risk as other assets are also held in these funds.
Nautilus, Inc. stock trades under the ticker NLS, and closed for trading at $21.79 on 10/13/2020.
NLS has shown great strength since its price bottom in April, making it appealing for a trade opportunity.
NLS stock’s $22.50 call options are set to open in the money today based on yesterday’s post-market activity, with the next highest strike price level being $25 calls (looking at the 10/16 expiration).
Based on the prices of the put options, it seems that most traders see them going down in price before 10/16.
NLS Price: $21.79
10 Day Moving-Average:$19.64
50 Day Moving-Average: $15.06
200 Day Moving-Average: $7.69
RSI: 71
Given that the puts are priced at the same level, buying the $22.50 puts & calls for the same expiration may be the best course of action.
Weighting the holding to reflect your sentiment of their chart will help to protect you from losses, while maximizing gains.
Perhaps if you think NLS’s stock price will decline by Friday to under $22.50, buying a 2:1 ratio of puts:calls might make a safe way to trade on your belief, and vice versa for those who think Nautilus, Inc.’s stock price will rise.
Kirkland’s, Inc. stock trades under the ticker KIRK & has recently been showing strong technical strength.
KIRK stock closed at $11.80 on 10/13/20, after taking off from May 2020.
Their in-the-money call options are $10 calls (10/16 expiration), with $12.50 being the next higher level, requiring a 6% increase in price by Friday in order to finish in-the-money.
With an implied volatility of 128%, the $12.50 calls look more appealing to sell than to buy, whereas the $10 calls provide for some added cushion from market volatility.
The Delta of the KIRK $10 call option is 0.946, making it worth considering outright buying the shares for a trade instead.
KIRK Price: $11.80
10 Day Moving-Average: $9.38
50 Day Moving-Average: $8.21
200 Day Moving-Average: $3.20
RSI: 67
For a hedge on KIRK stock or call options, their $12.50 puts are in-the-money, and look much more appealing than their $10 out-of-the-money puts
With the gap between the 10 Day & 50 Day Moving-Averages narrowing & getting closer to the price/share, when buying Kirkland’s, Inc. stock or calls, I would make sure to be mindful of having a smart hedge on the table as well.
