Sometimes, what I write about stocks and cucumber strategies is specific to safety. This is different. In some respects, this vision may be the most influential that I will have to share with Barchart readers for some time.
Why? Because a blatant reminder of how to manage investment risk is a proactive process. If not, you may end up holding a proverb bag.
I am not sure what I am talking about? Ask unaccounted shareholders from Super Micro Computer (SMCI).
SMCI missed profits and its stock hole saw more than 20 % in the morning trading on Wednesday, August 6. This is not a SMCI, routinely missing profits now more volatile than ever.
For this reason, in other than the most valuable stock markets, I have two -way stocks: the size of the small (non -built) position, or the size of the larger location (hedge).
The collars, are married, or some other approach? This is less important, and a personal decision. But this current profit season is only part of the stock market identity now. This will not change any time soon. If there is anything, it will become more volatile over time. This is a very opportunistic market. But it is full of digging.
SMCI was a main candidate for fitness. She managed to take a picture of options tables before opening on Wednesday, to show a “before” offer for this arrow. Specifically, how a collar would make sleep on Tuesday to be much easier for adult arrow holders.
Oh, there are some adults. This is what will do like this. If you have ever dreamed of buying a few dollars and seeing it up to $ 57 per share in about 5 years, this is what SMCI did.
However, after the market closed, when there was nothing you can do about it, the arrow was dropped as it was launched from the sky. These shares were $ 57 less than $ 48 and still fall. There is no stop in the world that can stop this loss. Stop orders do not work in this way.
This is the type of inventory, if you are taking a big position, instead of “appetizers” in my wallet, I do not stick without a safety net.
In the case of SMCI, as we will see below, the chart is prepared for success. But profit reports changed all of this.
The rate of backward price is less than 30x, which is not terrible for the company that can be said to be high. Which succeeded in obtaining the attention of my accounting last year.
First, the daily chart. The arrow has advanced forward, but it was in good condition that enters profits. Then, like this, it declines overnight to the level of late June, and gives up all its recent gains. And the production of the triple foundation.
The weekly graph seemed more promising. But not anymore. I am a professional technician, but I will be the first to tell you that the graph cannot stand on the market’s reaction to profits. Not in this environment.
Again, this article is supposed to be useful. Because although it is too late to hedge the SMCI, there are always “individual flights” in highly -likened inventories. Therefore, the study of this matter may help traders searching for opportunities to manage similar risks to move forward.
Here is one example of a collar that was present until Tuesday near the closure.
Details do not concern as much as the intention. In this case, until the exit to December, and a range of between 65 and 55 dollars during that time, costs less than $ 1 per share. This has provided a scenario in which 12 % of the upward trend and 5 % on the negative barter side.
The key here is that this is rid of panic and other emotional scenarios. $ 55 per share as low? And more than 3 months to allow her to try to recover? It is not bad for a small price for protection, especially entering profits.
SMCI is an ideal educational experience, whether you have inventory or not. This is the market in which those who expect to “not happen to them” expect, as they say, the whistle of the financial cemetery.
