Investment Rationale

By looking at the UBER chart, we can see a primary downtrend since February 2021. Over the last few months, we saw a bottom coming in as an inverted head-and-shoulders formed, and this targets about $28 to the upside which we could see on the earnings catalyst. Another factor to consider for a bullish trade is the comparison between UBER and its biggest rival, LYFT. LYFT’s revenue growth has been half of what we see in UBER. More interesting is the rich Implied Volatility as we are going into earnings. Right now the market is implying a +- 12% move versus the historical average of only +- 5.3% over the last 8 quarters. What we will be doing is to harvest this Implied Volatility by Selling a naked Put option.
