After researching looks like $16 or a little higher is price . Probably punt my calls today as some deadlines hit tonight on offers and anything can happen . Lots of moving parts in this deal.100% plus not a bad trade .
- woodman: @DavidK $PARA - Nice work.
- DavidK: @woodman $PARA yea I will take it but to be honest I really had a triple in mind on those calls . I didn’t factor the 14 billion in debt when doing my initial research . $ AMGN- your thought in this spike up . Looks to me like some puts might be in order .
- woodman: @DavidK $PARA - I haven't commented on AMGN because I haven't been able to read up on it depth yet. Weekend reading. My initial reaction is that its oral looks like a fail - at least from what I can glean quickly - which is good for $VKTX. I have to ...
- DavidK: @DAN $PARA - I guess no one was listening to my $PARA posts . Sept 12 calls 🤑 more to come . $20 is buyout whatever they end up doing floor I hear . But only the shadow knows and I have never heard him / she / it say a word .
- DAN: @DavidK $PARA Ha! That's a great trade, DavidK. $-!
- DavidK: @DAN $PARA like you , always working for the members .
- DavidK: $PARA - 26 billion all cash buyout bid .market cap now is 8 billion or so . So this would be a triple but not sure about debt etc. and how the final common price per share would work out .
- woodman: @DavidK $PARA - Very interesting. And I see what you are saying. That $26B = Market Cap plus debt minus cash as I saw one person put it, if that's correct.
- DavidK: @woodman $PARA I just found an article that stated debt of 14.6 billion so if they subtract debt that is 14 billion or so market cap buyout which is about 50 % premium so $18 per share . I am not sure how the deal offer is being structured though . Regardless , seems on the surface much more upside . WTF knows
- DAN: @DavidK $PARA And you are doing an AMAZING job!!
- DavidK: $PARA- maybe they are working out buyout terms . It’s gonna happen just who is gonna get it and price will be 50% higher from here min is my take . Holding Sept 12 calls with ave cost around $2.
- DavidK: @bigbartabs I was long $SPY calls . Sold for nice 75% gain . Then bought $IWM puts up 24% on those now . Probably sell before 4:15 today . Only true longs I believe in are $PARA and eventually $CCL. Bought and sold CCL calls today but still holding core . Sold $IWM - 53% gain . Markets might rally tomorrow is my guess but let’s see what happens as Trump says .
- DavidK: $PARA- holding Sept 12 calls banking on some type of buyout , etc to enhance shareholder value . Not sure what to make of the news over the weekend regarding company moves . Longer term , risk reward imho is up 50-75% based on price targets discussed in buyouts or whatever they conjure up
- DavidK: $PARA- bought Sept 12 calls . Gives time for some type of deal to happen . Price is rumored above 20 . Up 20 % on the calls since this am .Nice risk reward . Multiple parties interested in company
- vitoB: sneaky timing of $PARA offer right before fed announcement by apollo
- TraderGeekSam: $WBD and $PARA, media stocks which are like dogs with fleas, racing to the bottom. I would not be trying to pick these up anytime soon.
- shoredriver: $PARA...looks like Byrons lowball has shaky financing....besides Sherrie is not impressed.....
- shoredriver: $PARA...buyout off er $14b or about $21.50...likely others to enter..
- DavidK: $PARA- bought March 15 calls . Company is going to be sold eventually and chart looks like right spot to buy .
- Firemedic: @wineinquirer $AMZN $ELF $AMZN $AMZN $TNA $TZA $BYON $BYON $BYON $DNUT $NFLX $ARDX $NXT $ARM $INDIA $INDA $VKTX $KLG $VKTX $KLG $ARDX $AAOI $CCJ $ARM $ARM $ARM $ARM $LULU $LULU $LULU $LULU $LULU $LULU $TNA $UPRO $WFRD $ARIS $VIX $VIX $SPY $QQQ $VIX $ ...
- Lou: @BarryC #CNBC - then again does Farmer Jim still have a death grip on his $PARA?
- BarryC: @Lou $PARA #CNBC lololo.... Don't forget $BA and $CLF also...
- traderbren: $PARA - potential short to the gap fill below with a break of the 50d.
- DavidK: $IWM , SPY, AAPL - bought puts few hours ago . I also sell daily puts and bring in that $$ until hopefully the bigger payday comes . Long only $PARA common and selling upside calls every week or month until they get bought out . As I stated before , like a gal told a buddy of mine once , thugs are progressing just a little too fast .
- DavidK: @DavidK $IWM $PARA typo - things are progressing just a little too fast. I have seen this movie before .
- Sanelan: @DAN - please kindly cover $PARA - many thanks
- Momentariness: $PARA Moving up on volume NP
- jonwest88: As $PARA cut their dividend to .05 from .24, $PARAP the mandatory convertible preferred did not have its dividend cut. "the Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.4375 per share on its 5.75% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. The dividend will be payable on July 3, 2023, to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2023." Current yield = 23%.
- mharps: $PARA added but snall
- vitoB: $SOXL Dtrade again. Let’s go. Also consider $PARA bottom might be in and shorts on op ex shouldn’t get too greedy
- vitoB: @vitoB $SOXL $PARA bad picks and timing. Done here
- Lou: Has anyone seen any news regarding $PARA? I was short a variety of puts, all of which were exercised overnight and the shares are up nicely so far today.
- Chaficp: @Lou $PARA I haven´t seen any news about $PARA. I sold strangles and puts in the middle of August and tomorrow will expire the strangles. I still have some puts sold. Probably I will sell another strangle. The $WBD is up nice as well.
- Lou: @Chaficp @DrScience $PARA - thanks for your replies. I guess the puts I was short were exercised because the shares went ex- yesterday. Nonetheless, the stock has a bit of support today.
- Trendrider: $para Making new low.
- Trendrider: $para Moving above a cluster of all averages.
- Lou: Hi all. I've taken a hiatus from posting on SMM/OMM while tending existing positions and attending to some serious issues at home and regarding friends. I have been following my investments, doing some nips and tucks on the relatively few positions that I hold. Had continued to build and benefit from $ET $FTI $PXD. A couple of weeks ago I had to reverse my position in $DDS, I was short 320 and 290 calls after selling the stock to preserve profits when it was heading down. At earnings I again went long the stock at, in hindsight, an opportune time, so I'm again sitting on covered calls and some ITM short puts. Now building $PARA and $F and using $JEPI as a place to sit out the current turbulence.
- RD: $PARA @Scottrades What do you guys think of PARA here? Broke out of its trading box and now above the 50dma.
- scottrades: @RD $PARA It's running into the cluster of Moving Averages but you could try go small and try some with a stop around 25.20
- RD: @scottrades $PARA Thanks!
- Trendrider: $PARA coming back to an interesting buy point.
- champ: $AMZN $PARA $MGM $FAT $ALLY $BAC $MS $ZION, I'm still holding these swing positions, for now and I took Profits today on my other positions. ..Plus I did downsize on $AMZN, now looking to maybe add-back and also on $MGM today. On $GBTC....I only have a 1/3 size, position left, on this Spec swing, after downsizing, with profits, Trailing, however as we all know, stops only work during market hours. All past positions, have been moved onto my possible #buy-Back Watch-list and they need retry timings. ....Market uncertainty is back, so for me.. zig-zags, always triggers Risk-Management. . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Docoof: $PARA Top Gun: Maverick — $124 million opening weekend. Tom Cruise’s highest domestic debut. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/05/29/top-gun-maverick-box-office-results-tom-cruise.html
- champ: @Docoof $PARA ........#Pending-News....on Movies, were the positive #Set-up reasons, why I Posted... that I did risk a Full swing on my position.
- champ: $DIS and $PARA...both are HOD....Trailing and only watching $IMAX....have to expect that all families, would like to get out and have a little fun.
- debeers: $PARA-3 local theatres are sold out Friday and Saturday. The 4th local theatre sold out Friday/ Saturday/ Sunday. Top Gun should makme a s---tload. Bought.
- vcondry: @debeers $PARA you like $para over $IMAX and $AMC or in conjunction?
- debeers: @vcondry $PARA $para $IMAX $AMC - $PARA i like a quickie 10-15% up when the first figures come in after this weekend, we should get that
- vcondry: @debeers $PARA $para $IMAX $AMC thanks for the quick reply!
- debeers: @vcondry $PARA $para $IMAX $AMC -trying to pass on the kindness @scottrades has shown me.
- champ: $DIS $PARA....these #Bounce-Candidates are working into Movie weekend....swings.
- joelsg1: @champ $DIS $PARA #Bounce-Candidates Hold LEAPs in both.
- champ: @joelsg1 $DIS $PARA #Bounce-Candidates......Yes sir, that works and I'm holding stock positions.
- jonwest88: @joelsg1 $PARA $VIAC using division based on the info given. Amount invested / number of shares acquired
- jonwest88: How about that Warren Buffet buying the non voting shares of Paramount $PARA, formerly $VIAC. Looks like he paid at least $37.68 per share and those purchases looked like they were done towards then end of March. "Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway reported Monday in a securities filing that it has acquired a stake in Paramount Global after acquiring $2.6 billion in Class B shares.The SEC Form 13F filing showed that Buffett’s company acquired almost 69 million shares of Paramount Global during the first quarter. "
- joelsg1: @jonwest88 $PARA $VIAC How do you figure his avg. buy price?
- Lou: nice AH action on $PARA on disclosure of $BRKB purchase in Q1.
- jonwest88: @shoredriver $PARA prefer the preferred $PARAP $1.44 qtly div ($5.75 annual). +13 % value trap(ped) safe, income producer, capital gains --forgeddaboutit
- DavidM: Quite the recovery in $PARA.
- DavidM: Has $PARA morphed into pariah? No mentions here in forever. Earnings tomorrow AM.
- DrScience: @DavidM $PARA I'm still holding JAN 2024 30 Calls covered with MAY 35 Calls. The streaming services are fragmented and there's need for consolidation. Service costs for a menu of streaming channels are beginning to rival cable/satellite offerings, the whole reason cable-cutters switched to streaming. Expect volatility in each streaming service as subscribers exploit adding a service to binge a series and drop at EOM.
- shoredriver: @DavidM $PARA ..FWIW Farmer Jim from Fast Half fame is still all tingly about it....
- DavidM: Bought some $PARA for a bounce trade. Holding sort puts and long calls.
- Lou: I'm thoroughly puzzled. My Fidelity ATP program now lists #%short positions. It shows that $PARA was 889.24% short at 3/31/2022. Could this have been correct?
- Pokersmith: @Lou $PARA I get the same data, fwiw
- Lou: Anyone knows why $PARA plunged after hours on volume? Now trading down 2 from close.
- shoredriver: @Lou $PARA .......$NFLX.......
- DavidM: @Lou $PARA $NFLX sympathy trade?
- Lou: @shoredriver @DavidM $PARA $NFLX - thanks.
- joelsg1: $PARA Down probably on Barron's short-sighted Streaming Wars headline article. Long with cushion but stop just below 50w at $36.72.
- DavidM: @kbrowe $PARA Looks like somebody spent around $460,000 on APR $40 calls, 22 days and 6.6% OOM, Not exactly chump change looking for a significant move in a hurry. I may buy a couple myself.
- Lou: Added to $PARA 1/24 $30 calls at 12.60
- PhooeyQuai: @Lou $PARA Lou can I ask why you picked the $30 calls.
- Lou: @PhooeyQuai $PARA - I own the stock and I've got lots of option positions at various strikes, both puts and calls. My $30 calls, costing 12.60, puts me into $PARA at 42.60 1 year and about 10 months from now. My average cost of all of my 1/24 $30 calls, including today's adds, is 9.14, as I've been buying them for some time. It just feels right. In investments I believe in concentration of exposure. It has served me well over the years and I'm hoping that continues. That said, my expectation is that I will sell these calls at higher prices, hopefully, cashing in some long term gains.
- Lou: Something lit a fire under $PARA at around 12:50pm Eastern time
- kbrowe: @Lou $PARA CNBC Pete Najarian highlighted unusual options actions going on about the same time. NP
- joelsg1: $PARA Getting its volume late today. Long.
- Lou: @joelsg1 -while the option market makers would love to pin $PARA at 35, they well may settle for 36. The numbers of outstanding puts and calls at 35 are significantly higher at 25 than 36, there is a good number outstanding at 35 as well.
- joelsg1: @Lou $PARA I have laddered LEAPs so though it may pin at 35 today as you say because 3 times the open interest as 36, I think the $9 move up lately is leading to a hold of the 200d and then a breakout above.
- joelsg1: $PARA Nice 33% bounce past 3 weeks in tough tape off bottom BB daily and tapping again for 3rd time at 200d ceiling at 36.42. If breaks through, could run another furlong. Long LEAPs.
- joelsg1: @Lou $DDS OK, but what you doing with $PARA? I'm long and capped laddered LEAPs 2/3 now itm.
- Lou: @joelsg1 $DDS $PARA - I'm quite content to hold the various $PARA positions, long stock (bigly), long Leap calls at 30 for 1/23 and for1/24, short various puts. I periodically adjust positions but am holding fast. I do have some short $36 puts for this Friday. Nicely in the green but I'll wait and see whether I need/want to do something with them.
- joelsg1: $PARA Looks like yesterday's surprising move up on volume was big time short covering of pre-E shorts, but now price is just above that drop point. Watching next move carefully, still long laddered LEAPs/spreads/shares.
- joelsg1: $PARA Goes ex-div today and stock up 10% on volume? Hmm. As posted, something's afoot. Long LEAPs.
- joelsg1: $PARA Holding up at HOD. Completely filled gap from massive volume 2/16 drop and pushing for third time toward 36.50 breakout/200d. Option prices are not keeping up with this volatility so far, so added to LEAPs (which by definition are Jan. '23 but could be any future year available).
- bla00109: @joelsg1 $PARA Big move. March Madness is upon us, but can that be a reason for the move today on volume? Seems unlikely. Have 400 shares in a pension acct and not sure if I should sell now and buy back after the div.
- joelsg1: @bla00109 $PARA The Arch Egos debacle killed this thing. Now there’s content and streaming and maybe a sale to look forward to.There have been big volume spike increases lately sandwiching a hideous post E decline, indicating big money accumulation. So something’s going on. Then there’s the 3% divi which by itself makes a good pension hold.
- joelsg1: $PARA Big volume spike returned late yesterday, added to $35 LEAPs and spreads.
- joelsg1: $PARA Whomever got in large last 2 weeks got out at least partials today, and so did I.
- joelsg1: $PARA Green Day 7. Still working.
- joelsg1: $PARA Day 5, exploding higher on volume. Longer.
- joelsg1: $PARA Pushing HOD for 5th day on volume.
- joelsg1: $PARA Something afoot.
- jonwest88: @joelsg1 $PARA good call, added more to $PARAP @50 Have large position in $PARA from ~$20. Nice divvies on both, $PARAP div = 9.9% annualized. Current qtrly of $1.44 goes ex on 3/14
- jonwest88: @joelsg1 $PARA $DISCA moves in tandem with this one or $PARAP
- joelsg1: @jonwest88 $PARA $DISCA $PARAP Like that divi $PARAP but no options I can find, Long LEAPs on $PARA, laddered from 30.
- joelsg1: $PARA They're Back, big volume at open.
- joelsg1: $PARA Still working, still with volume. HOD-L.
- Lou: Well, the lipstick is on my pig - $VIAC is now trading as $PARA and Fidelity ATP still hasn't updated the price history of existing option positions.
