Toyota Motors - early entry to one of next weeks Plays of the Week







is setting up a very nice short here.




Earnings are Friday, so it's Tricky. And to "game" earnings is a gamble, not a trader's play.

I think they sell off HARD on earnings, i feel very strongly about that, and I see TM below 80 next week, actually close to 75. (and that's conservative)
.
So play it here, without having maximum exposure to earnings. Id look at the June 75 Puts. (trading at 1.70 today). I see them > 3.00 by next week.

Playing the June's let's us still short it, yet not be as exposed to the earnings on Friday.
(may is gaming earnings, and too risky to call or recommend)

For non-options traders, to play the stock short, I would look to enter short immediatly AFTER earnings.

I have NO IDEA what kinda numbers they report, no clue. (no one does, and that is a sucker's play)

But what I see as the Trader's play here, is this stock has basically NO SHORTS...none.
0.73% of the float actually from the data.

There was a very good reason I called JRCC long, in ADDITION to it's chart. (way too many shorts before earnings)

No clue what TM will report, but there is ZERO squeeze potential on them, none.

So the most bullish thing i see for TM is "good earnings", then everyone takes profits, as it has had an incredible run, and the catalyst is now gone.

If you haven't taken MAJORITY profits on LCC and FEED, then you are a pig.....and deserve to be slaughtered. (don't get greedy!)
.
How is that GME>30 entry short trade looking so far?

  2. Erik, I took profit on bx today. Take a look at stp. over 11% short float out there. Looking at the chart, it is very bullish. Looks like going much higher. I am holding on to EGLE all the way into earning. Thanks so much as always sharing your diligent work.
