Comcast (CMCSA) Offering Possible 7.76% Return Over the Next 27 Calendar Days

Comcast's most recent trend suggests a bullish bias. One trading opportunity on Comcast is a Bull Put Spread using a strike $45.00 short put and a strike $40.00 long put offers a potential 7.76% return on risk over the next 27 calendar days. Maximum profit would be generated if the Bull Put Spread were to expire worthless, which would occur if the stock were above $45.00 by expiration. The full premium credit of $0.36 would be kept by the premium seller. The risk of $4.64 would be incurred if the stock dropped below the $40.00 long put strike price.

The 5-day moving average is moving down which suggests that the short-term momentum for Comcast 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 up which suggests that the medium-term momentum for Comcast is bullish.

The RSI indicator is at 73.2 level which suggests that the stock is neither overbought nor oversold at this time.

Thu, 19 Sep 2019 18:15:18 +0000

Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) was flooded with volume after two new players entered the streaming industry. AT&T (NYSE:T) continued to digest last week's huge gains after news of a $3.2 billion stake taken by Elliot Management Corp. Finally, Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) shares are attempting to bottom but were rejected once more by overhead resistance.Let's take a closer look: Roku (ROKU)Roku shares crashed 14% Wednesday and are down another 4% premarket after news hit that competition is heating up in the streaming space. Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) unveiled a new line of Portal TV devices that includes streaming and video calling.

With today's down-gap, ROKU will open below its 50-day moving average and could soon test its earnings gap area at $117.Thursday's freefall lit a fire under options trading. Activity rocketed to 278% of the average daily volume, with 390,701 total contracts traded.

If you're looking for a knife catch play, selling bull put spreads is attractive here. AT&T (T)AT&T has one of the prettiest charts on the planet heading into today's session. It's uptrend scored increasing momentum during last week's ascent, and the five-day pullback that has since formed is textbook. Volume has been light, and the size of the candles has been average, signaling garden-variety profit-taking instead of trend-ending distribution.Two narratives driving the stock this month were the recent disclosure of a $3.2 billion investment in AT&T by activist investor Elliot Management Corp., and yesterday's Wall Street Journal article revealing AT&T was "exploring parting with its DirecTV unit."As far as options trading goes, calls outpaced puts by a wide margin, accounting for 70% of Wednesday's tally. Total activity grew to 185% of the average daily volume, with 224,808 contracts traded.Implied volatility remains subdued at 21% or the 20th percentile of its one-year range. * The 7 Best S&P 500 Stocks of 2019 So Far Netflix (NFLX)July's disappointing earnings release sparked a downtrend in Netflix, and it has yet to reverse. Signs of slowing momentum are beckoning to bottom fishers, but patience may be needed. Yesterday's drop reaffirmed resistance at $300 and gave traders a clear level to trade around. Get bullish above, but stay bearish below.The news was light Wednesday, but that didn't prevent options traders from landing NFLX stock on the most-actives leaderboard.
