Synchrony Financial (SYF) Gets a Boost From its Latest Earnings Report

Synchrony Financial rallied to a two-month high in the past week and several analysts think it can continue higher. Here is what the IBD had to say about the stock - This GE Spinoff Nears Buy Point On Strong Earnings. Also take a look at the following article which discusses Warren Buffett’s stake in the company - Here is What Hedge Funds Think About Synchrony Financial (SYF).

A stock that yields 67% a year? Really?

If you're happy with stocks yielding you 4% or 5% a year, you don't need this. But if you want to see how we built a portfolio that now pays us a 67% cash on cash return - with no leverage, options, or gimmicks.

Then go here ASAP.

Technicals

SYF recently regained both its 50 and 100 day moving averages which signals the broader bullish trend has potentially restarted. Of the two, the 100-day moving average was particularly strong resistance throughout September. For this reason, the indicator is now seen as strong support on near-term dips. The break above the 100-day moving average also means a break above the September high which in turn has set a successions of higher highs and higher lows. Another way to look at it is as a range breakout since the stock was essentially consolidating sideways above its 200-week moving average for the past two months or so.

If you agree there's further upside ahead for SYF, consider this trade which is a bet that the stock will continue to advance over the next five weeks, or at least a little bit.

Buy To Open SYF 22NOV19 31.5 Puts (SYF191122P31.5)

Sell To Open SYF 22NOV19 34.5 Puts (SYF191122P34.5) for a credit of $0.93 (selling a vertical)

This price was $0.02 less than the mid-point of the option spread when SYF was trading near $34.50.  Unless the stock rallies quickly from here, you should be able to get close to this amount.

Your commission on this trade will only be $1.30 per spread.  Each contract would then yield $91.70 and your broker would charge a $300 maintenance fee, making your investment $208.30 ($300 – $91.70).  If SYF closes at any price above $34.50 on November 22, both options would expire worthless, and your return on the spread would be 44% (502% annualized).

My Favorite Marijuana Opportunity

I've found a company that's rocking the marijuana business to its core. Because it created a unique profit-sharing plan...and began sending regular payouts of up to $9,974 to the folks who signed up for it. This plan is the only one of its kind. And because of its structure - the payouts are 100% backed by a U.S. Federal Law.
