Ray of Light: Risk Appetite Has Increased

Posted on July 29th, 2010 in Beige Book, Fed, India Shares, bond market, credit market, inthenews, risk, risk appetite, risk aversion

Filed under: Financial Crisis

Experienced investors know that even the most-sobering economic reports can contain ‘gems’ or small-but-significant, positive data points.

The U.S. Federal Reserve’s latest Beige Book report on the economy is a classic example. The Fed confirmed that the U.S. economic recovery had slowed in the second quarter, with regions reporting uneven levels of growth.

The gem? The recovery, although in low gear, nevertheless remains fast enough for commercial borrowers to service their debt, and this is helping to stabilize the commercial debt market.

Filed under: Major Movement, Deals, Good news, Rumors, Options, Technical Analysis, Genzyme (GENZ)

Genzyme (GENZ – option chain) shares are rising today on a report in the Wall Street Journal which says that Sanofi-Aventis SA (SNY) could make a formal takeover offer to GENZ’s board that could be worth about $20 billion. SNY declined to comment on the report. If you think that the stock won’t fall by too much in the coming months, then now could be a good time to look at a bullish hedged trade on GENZ.

GENZ opened this morning at $70.31. So far today the stock has hit a low of $69.97 and a high of $70.97. As of 11:55, GENZ is trading at $70.09 up $2.09 (3.1%). The chart for GENZ looks bullish and S&P gives GENZ a positive 4 STARS (out of 5) buy ranking.

American Axle Targeted by a Pre-earnings Straddle

Posted on July 29th, 2010 in AXL, American Axle, India Shares, calls, earnings, inthenews, options, puts, second quarter, short interest, straddle, volatility

Filed under: Earnings Reports, Options

auto manufacturing American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings (AXL) is prepping for its turn in the earnings spotlight. The auto parts issue is slated to confess its second-quarter results ahead of Friday’s opening bell, and at least one speculator is looking for a major post-event move from the shares. Bright and early Thursday morning, an ambivalent options trader opened an at-the-money straddle on AXL.

Specifically, the trader simultaneously purchased several matching blocks of August 9 puts and calls. With AXL trading just pennies above $9, both of these options are at the money. By scooping up equal numbers of puts and calls at the same strike, the trader is hoping to capitalize on a drastic move higher or lower from the security.

Comcast (CMCSA) and Visa (V) reported earnings on Wednesday. Following is my brief take on each of them.

Comcast is a big name in cable, and it’s waiting to close on a deal with General Electric (GE) involving the latter company’s NBC Universal. It will be interesting to see if Comcast’s management team can properly synergize with the studio.
