LONG JNPR @ 38.85 -- oversold

11 Nov

Rolling the proceeds of my 1 day CBOE trade into JNPR hoping for the same result. The system is 27-0 on JNPR since the beginning of 2024, but it has had a few long trades in that time.

I will be using my FPC exit (see my recent ideas for details if you aren't familiar). I will add lots at the close each day it stays oversold until I'm out of the trade completely.

Added again. Still oversold and I still believe the HPE deal happens. If not now, once Trump gets into office. Trump isn't known to be a stickler about regulations, oversight or anti-competitive business practices unless they affect his businesses. My guess is that he will gut this section of the DOJ (among others) as soon as possible. He judges his success in office by how high the market goes, and if he thinks this deal will help that, the deal will get done, imo.

Added yet again - 35.01 just before the close. This is getting old, but it's nice to know what the end result of all this is likely to be, eventually. Even at this point, a 5% bounce gets the whole position to profitability.

Someone must have started a rumor or knows something about the HPE merger situation. This thing was lower than yesterday's close with 30 min left in the trading day and just shot straight up after that. I almost didn't because of that, but I sold Lot 6 at the close for 36.25, a +2.2% gain in one trading day. If I knew for certain it wasn't just a rumor or something that caused it to pop I'd have held, but I've seen too many fakeouts in my day to trust moves like this. Better to just take the 1 day return and be happy.

Not sure what the SEC rules are on CEOs talking about their unfinished mergers as being a done deal before they're made official, but HPE CEO Antonio Neri sure makes it sound like a done deal by the time they announce Q1 earnings at the beginning of February in an interview on Yahoo on Friday.

A closing price of 40 dollars/share would equate to about 1% per week from here if it closes at the end of January. That's over 4x the typical weekly return of the S&P 500. Makes it tempting for me to hold onto the shares until then instead of my usual FPC exit. I'm gonna have to think about this for a while. With any luck, the FPC on the remaining lots will be the spike when the announcement comes and then it won't matter.
