Yahoo's most recent trend suggests a bearish bias. One trading opportunity on Yahoo is a Bear Call Spread using a strike $39.50 short call and a strike $44.50 long call offers a potential 22.55% return on risk over the next 23 calendar days. Maximum profit would be generated if the Bear Call Spread were to expire worthless, which would occur if the stock were below $39.50 by expiration. The full premium credit of $0.92 would be kept by the premium seller. The risk of $4.08 would be incurred if the stock rose above the $44.50 long call strike price.
The 5-day moving average is moving down which suggests that the short-term momentum for Yahoo is bearish and the probability of a decline in share price is higher if the stock starts trending.
The 20-day moving average is moving down which suggests that the medium-term momentum for Yahoo is bearish.
The RSI indicator is at 47.35 level which suggests that the stock is neither overbought nor oversold at this time.

Alibaba options set for strong demand on market debut
Fri, 26 Sep 2014 06:25:35 GMT
Reuters – The newest way to bet on the fortunes of Chinese e-commerce heavyweight Alibaba Group Holding Ltd will debut on Monday when its stock options go live for trading, and investors should look for the initial action to be very busy, but also choppy and potentially pricey. Options market traders say Alibaba puts and calls will likely see heavy demand given the interest shown so far in the stock since its record-setting $25 billion (15.3 billion pounds) initial public offering last week. First-day volume in the stock last Friday topped 270 million shares and has averaged around 40 million shares a day since, keeping it near the top of the New York Stock Exchange's most-active list each day. “I would expect Alibaba's options to have a built-in demand, so to speak, as obviously all the people who want to get into the IPO at the beginning didn’t,” said J.J. Kinahan, chief market strategist at retail brokerage TD Ameritrade Holding Corp.
