Investment Rationale
Stocks surged on Friday but again, the SPX closed just beneath its major downtrend line. What a hurdle that has been for bulls to be able to push above. Meanwhile, UST 10yr. yields again held support at its weekly Base Line at 3.42%. To me, that is still the key level to use to determine if rates hold or break further down to 3%. As per a new trade idea for today, I’m looking at Palo Alto Networks, a premier name in the cybersecurity space. Like so many other tech stocks, the past year+ has been painful for stockholders.
PANW – Daily
What I like is that price is back above its May and November lows, where it had previously double-bottomed before hitting sell-stops beneath $140 late last year and into early January. Now that it’s back above there, I’m looking to get long on any minor pullback to the $140 area — especially if it occurs by Wednesday’s close this week. If it does, let’s look to buy a Feb. 17th $140/$155 call spread at what then is its then current mid-price. Right now, calls are somewhat expensive, and puts are too cheap to sell, but an orderly pullback in price may help make the calls a bit cheaper. PANW reports on Feb. 21st, so we won’t be paying the extra premium for that report by using the 2/17 expiration.
