The main reason i like yuri is because of their rapid earnings growth.
alex brown and cowen&company have strong buy ratings on Yuri
but instead of buying the stock outright, i decided to write an at the money covered call (bought yuri at 22 1/2, brought in 5 points on the jul 22 1/2 call}
in this play the maximum i can make is the premium....which turns out to be an outstanding "standstill return." Even if i'm wrong and yuri doesnt go up, i can make money.as long as Yuri is above my costbasis(17 1/2 plus commissions) on expiration..this play gives 5 points of downside protection....this covered call is more specifically known as
a synthetic short put...just wanted to share this strategy with everyone
