The rapprochement between President Trump and Xi Jinping fired up markets on Monday, but skepticism crept into investing sentiment overnight, weighing on equity markets. None of the commitments that U.S. officials said had been given by China were agreed to in writing. There was also initial confusion on when the three-month negotiating window would start. Meanwhile, the curve between U.S. three-year and five-year and between two-year and five-year paper inverted on Monday for the first time since the financial crisis, and analysts expect the two-year, 10-year yield curve – seen as a predictor of a U.S. recession – to follow suit.

Let’s consider Oracle Corporation (Ticker: ORCL).

Using the predictive indicators embedded within the VantagePoint platform and its predictive AI technology, we will point out three significant things. We have a bullish crossover indicated by the blue predictive indicator line crossing above the black simple moving average on November 30th. We can combine that with the VantagePoint propriety neural index indicator moving from the RED to the GREEN position on the same day.  This indicator measures strength and weakness for a 48-hour period, in this case, strength. The move to the GREEN position further makes the case for a potentially bullish scenario. We also have the predicted high and low above yesterday’s actual high and low indicating further weakness. I want to play the VP bullish indication.

Strategy Discussion

If you are strictly a stock trader, simply buying ORCL stock in the $49.25 area is a prudent move.  You are anticipating a move to the upside.  It is always a good idea to enter a sell-stop order to mitigate potential losses.  Placing that sell-stop in the $48.00 area will achieve that goal.

For active traders with a shorter investment time horizon, you can consider a setup utilizing options. Given the market conditions outlined above, taking an active, premium debit approach may be the best path to success.

Because of the reasons given above, the purchase of a debit call spread may be one way to approach this situation. You will first want to calculate your target strike.  In order to do this, you will need three pieces of data:  current price, expiration date and the implied volatility associated with that expiration date. For ORCL, that yields a targeted strike of ~$51.00.  You may want to consider the ORCL December 14th weekly expiration 50/51 call spread, buying it for $0.30.  The most you can lose is the premium paid and the most you can gain is the width of the spread less any premium paid.  Max risk = $0.30 and max reward = 0.70.  This means that you are getting odds of 2.33:1.

Given the trading and market environment outlined above, a trader must evaluate whether this reward/risk ratio is appropriate for his/her risk tolerance.
