NIO Buy the Dip on Earnings and Facebook Breaking Out

NIO Inc. (NIO) reported earnings that dissapointed investors, as it trades lower in the early session, whereas Facebook (FB) began a new breakout. Both stocks are potential buys.

Facebook Breakout and Continuation

Facebook (FB) is breaking out on volume as its Bollinger bands expand. The latter suggests a fast move is imminent. RSI is rising fast, as MACD approaches a bull cross.

We’re looking for a move above 179.00 (+/-), the prominent “Volume by Price” (VBP) band on the left. A lot of trading occurred in this area. Then look for the target level around 188.00 (+/-) short-term.

Cramer also talked about the FANG stocks last night on Mad Money, pointing out the tight Bollinger bands on Facebook.

Nio Inc. NIO – Buy the Dip

Traders in the room took positions off into strength and many took bets on a larger than average move post-EPS. The stock is down (-17.42%) in early trading presenting an opportunity if it holds the zone and gap above 8.10 (+/-). This zone was the consolidation breakout area after the IPO, where volume picked up. Look for this level to hold and interested parties to buy the dip.

 

NIO Buy Zone

 

Johnson and Johnson (JNJ) is higher on FDA approval of new nasal spray delivery system for its depression related drug. We have common. Targets 144.00 (+/-) on the swing position.

Baozun Inc. BZUN Earnings

Baozun Inc. (BZUN) posted earnings that missed on Q4. That said, revenues were up 40.7% for the quarter. The stock is off 3% premarket; looking for buyers and bargain hunters this morning.

Normally we do not hold shares into earnings, however we noted that premium was very high for next weeks calls, so much so that we decided to sell some calls for insurance.

We sold to open STO  MAR15 40C for $2.75 yesterday, as a hedge and held the shares through earnings. Basically, we retain the shares with a cost basis of $36.69 and will let the calls expire worthless or buy them back later today if the stock rises. Volatility crush should net a nice profit on the calls.
