Hi Ryan,
ROST finally woke up after the MMs robbed everyone blind. WOW! Take a look at the chart profile set to the daily prices. For those of you that get the free newsletter at coveredcalls.com will recognize the chart pattern. If you recall, the WINs technical indicator summary chart under pending gap spells out that the when the upper and lower BBs are very narrow, it is like a compressed coil spring ready to release. Gappers can go up or down. But, if you factor in other indicators like the super, super, low RSI and lower OBV, it was only a matter of time before this stock woke up. Clearly, there was more upside potential than downside slide. I had thoughts of the new ROST management jumping in and doing a buy back. It has been done before to counter bad street reactions.

ROST Potential? This stock remains an undervalued stock and a good CC workhorse. Although, the open interest at this point has been dead. In the past, I have noticed when companies do a buy back they pump money into the stock which forces the price up caused by a man made short squeeze which does not last long. ROST has a fairly slow float turnover (TRO) and does not light candles like the vipers.
Yes, stocks jumps up fast when buy backs are announced and it draws attention. But, there is some massive ROST overhead price resistance at the $18-$20 level which must be satisfied. Because, the ROST open interest is low, I would be more inclined to short against the box when ROST hits that brick overhead. Meaning, rather than CCing (if there are any buyers) you can short a heck of great deal more ROST stock for some quick downside profits. Provided you are not margined on the long ROST stock, you could pick up a nice clip of stock to short since the margin requirements are fairly low.
Looks like ROST is back in play! |
