Zacks best trade

by Nilanjan Choudhury   Published on  December 02, 2016  | Oil & Gas Performance in Q3 Unlike the second quarter, in which oil advanced more than 26% sequentially to notch up the best quarterly percentage gain in seven years, the Jun-Sep 2016 period turned out to be rather flat with crude barely advancing. In fact, the West Texas Intermediate ( WTI   -  Free Report ) crude futures during the third quarter hovered around the $45 per barrel mark, flat with the second quarter and down from $46.50 in the same period last year. On the other hand, natural gas popped through the $3 barrier for the first time in more than a year during the third quarter. Successive below-average builds with strong power sector consumption have been cutting into the year-over-year storage surplus. In fact, natural gas prices have doubled since hitting 17-year lows of around $1.6 per MMBtu in the first quarter. Q3 Flashback A look back at Q3 earnings season reflects tha...

Paper bought 30,000 BAC Dec 2 weekly 21.5 calls for .02, which was the offer and, based on open interest, is likely an opening trade. Bank of America Corp., trading 20.36 (up .07) with an IV30 of 25.74 up 1.05 and an HV10 of 40.69, saw a bullish out of the money call buyer today.  The stock, with an ADV of 412,000 and open interest of 7.7 million contracts, saw a customer buy 30,000 of the Dec 2 weekly 21.5 calls for .02, which was the offer and, based on open interest, is likely an opening trade. This appears to be a customer that thinks there could be continued upside in BAC through the end of next week.  The trade will reach maximum profit if BAC runs above 21.5 by a week from Friday.  The stock has been outpacing IV, thus this could be a play on volatility being too cheap.  Alternatively, while there is no stock in this trade, it could be a hedge for someone establishing a new short although this is less likely. This trade is aggressively bullish volatil...

FactSet In 2016, both the Brexit vote in the U.K. and the election of Donald Trump in the U.S. have had wide-reaching implications. One of the biggest common threads is that people, politicians and businesses around the world seem to be more domestically focused. Accordingly, investors should find big opportunities in 2017 among the shares of U.S. regional banks. True, there is a lot to be skeptical about regarding the financial sector. That’s perhaps illustrated most clearly in the recent misbehaviors of Wells Fargo & Co.  WFC,  -0.11%    — and there is evidence that the practice of opening phony accounts is a  much wider problem  at megacap financial institutions.                       Read more .........  http://www.marketwatch.com/story/regional-us-bank-stocks-are-where-the-money-is-2016-11-14
