The stock has been on a big run after earnings. It&#8217;s still losing money but the loss is less. They also had an increase in users.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not a big fan of SNAP! However, over the weekend I was looking at the charts to see if money could be made. Looking at the amount the stock went up last week I wanted to look at the Relative Strength Index (RSI). I noticed it was up near 93. This is extremely high, and the highest ever for snap.<\/p>\n<p>I planned on looking at SNAP first thing this morning. On a down day, SNAP opened up about 50\u00a2. I did not think it would continue up. With the RSI at 93 the stock is extremely overbought. With the stock close to $44 I was thinking of Shorting the stock but decided on selling a Naked Call. I sold 10 contracts of the SNAP $46 Calls to expire Friday. I received a premium of 80\u00a2 for $800.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sell to Open 10 SNAP 10\/30\/20 $46.00 C @ 80\u00a2 (+$800)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>SNAP is a hot stock right now and a Naked Call would normally get a Risk Factor 5 but with this RSI level I&#8217;ll put a Risk Factor 3. But I&#8217;ll watch closely. As I write the stock is down $1 and is getting close to $42.<\/p>\n<p>Successful trading,<\/p>\n<p>Steve<\/p>\n<p><em>The Options Coach<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started the week with 2 trades I feel will work out well.
