I closed $GNRC 20240322 107.0 PUT$ ,GNRC: collected full premium of 2.2% over 31 days when held this contract till expiry. The stock had corrected lower after its earning on 14th Feb and didn’t really move much after that. For now, I view GNRC with slight bearish near term as it had tried and failed to break its 200 days MA and still closed below that on 22nd Mar.
I opened $GNRC VERTICAL 240322 CALL 113.0/CALL 115.0$ ,GNRC: sold a bear call spread on GNRC with risk to rewards at almost 0.9 to 1.1. GNRC close at $112.7 and in a downtrend for few weeks now. The risk is that is might be slightly oversold and rebound. For that case, I have also sold a cash secured put with strike at $107. With the total premium potentially collected, I will lose money if GNRC close below $104.62 at expiry with gives me about 7% buffer.
I opened $GNRC 20240322 107.0 PUT$ ,GNRC: Sold cash secured put on GNRC expiring in 31 days for premium of 2.2%. With earnings out on 14th Feb done and settled, there isn’t much catalyst beyond general market that is current bearish for the past 2 trading sessions. Most GNRC moving averages I tracked from 20 days to 200 days all consolidated working a $10 range from $112 to $122 indicating lack of directions for now. The CSP is about 5 dollars off the recent low providing some cushion for market downside.
I closed $GNRC 20240216 110.0 PUT$ ,GNRC: collected full 3.3% premium on this cash secured put on GNRC over 31 days of contract duration. The stock had been ranged bound between $110 to $135 allowing good setting for this trade to be successful. Most moving averages between 20 days MA all the way to 200 days MA were tightly ranged within $10 so any potential breakouts from here will be observed carefully. Earnings on 14th Feb failed failed to move this stock so it’s a good stock for range trading for now.
I opened $GNRC 20240216 110.0 PUT$ ,GNRC: sold cash secured put on GNRC with expiry in 1 months time. Will collect 3.3% during this period of GNRC stays above $110. At the moment, the stock is testing its 200 days MA and looking for a short term rebound instead of dropping further. The strike price of $110 is about 5% lower than current price. Note that earnings will be on 14th Feb which is 3 days before contract expiry so most likely I’ll close before earning to reduce uncertainly.
