1.) Look at their earnings, it was pretty fucking good with minor negatives.
2.) Special dividend of $1.1 with ex-div 3/8, pays out 3/23.
3.) Share buyback, low total float, large short interest.
What does this mean? RKT is a decent bet on mortgages, despite the whole COVID shit going on. Anyone following real estate should know that the housing market is booming right now. Now, RKT is a heavily shorter stock. When you short the stock and a dividend comes up, you have to pay the dividend because it's like you're reverse owning the stock. The $1.1 dividend is about 5% of the total share price, which is pretty noticeable. A share buyback in the long term is very bullish for the stock price, because the company buys back their shares in the market over time, reducing the float available, yet keeping the same market cap, I think. This is the opposite of share dilution, so in theory, the stock price should go up. So imagine a week where most of the shorts would be nearly forced to let go of their short position, following great earnings, and a share buyback that was announced. It's a recipe for RKT to blast off. The return of team RKT.
Strong resistance around $24. RSI at 70, bullish divergence. Strong support at $20 may not be seen anymore. These catalysts make it look like RKT will be able to break $25 with its pinky.
Bear case: The oscillations and resistance, supports can always double down or keep shorting. There's always the chance that institutions will short the company in order to build their own position, now seeing the earnings RKT had.
Safest play, selling CSPs at support. Optimal play, buy 100 shares to capitalize on the dividend and also sell CCs in case RKT pulls an Apollo 13. High risk high reward: yolo some calls and get yeeted into SPCE. SPCE and RKT included into ARKX when? lmao
I'm always on the lookout for another PMCC candidate, and RKT is cheap af and I've been bullish since IPO but I put RKT on the back burner. Maybe I'll toss AMD profits into this if I profit at all. Most of my other leaps are down right now and it'd be outside of my risk tolerance to open a new position while the other leaps are crying. I also really want to save my money for RBLX DPO, which is a few 3/10. If I bought shares, got them recorded and sold them on 3/9, I still wouldn't be able to fully play RBLX cuz the sales would have to settle. This would be playing with settled cash however. Made 15k on GME shares, so I might splurge a bit, 100 shares of RKT will allow me to spread out my RBLX buys.
