Bulls Bet On Las Vegas Sands To Push $30

Options players race for calls as the casino and resort operator tags a new high.

Las Vegas Sands ( LVS - news - people ): Shares of the casino resort operator rallied as much as 4.75% today to secure an intraday- and new 52-week high of $26.94. We reported flurries of bullish options trading on the stock in the previous week, and today’s activity is similarly dominated by optimistic players. Investors populating the June contract are selling puts and buying calls to position for continued appreciation in the price of the underlying stock. LVS-bulls shed 2,100 puts at the June $24 strike to take in an average premium of $0.11 per contract. Meanwhile, investors sold 1,600 puts at the higher June $25 strike to receive an average premium of $0.21 apiece. Put sellers targeting these strike prices keep the full premium pocketed on the transactions as long as Las Vegas Sands’ share price exceeds the value of the strike prices described through expiration on Friday. Investors with an eye on share price upside potential picked up 4,800 calls at the June $27 strike for an average premium of $0.46 each. Call buyers at this strike price are positioned to make money should shares of the casino resort operator surpass $27.46 ahead of expiration. Buying interest spread to the higher June $28 strike where 5,300 calls were purchased at an average premium of $0.19 per contract. Las Vegas Sands’ shares must rally another 4.6% over today’s high of $26.94 in order for June $28 strike call buyers to start to amass profits above the average break-even price of $28.19. Finally, uber-optimists picked up 2,500 calls at the June $29 strike for an average premium of $0.10 a pop. These traders make money only if shares of the underlying stock surge 8.00% to trade above $29.10 by June expiration.

With all this happening, Las Vegas Sands (LVS - commentary - Trade Now) should be sunk into the lows of the year. It's got heavy debt, major exposure to China through its Macau properties, and its U.S. operations are still incredibly weak

Yet, LVS is up 72% year to date, compared with the S&P 500's 2% decline. It is also outperforming peers with a bigger presence in Macau, such as Wynn Resorts (WYNN - commentary - Trade Now), up 42% for the year, and MGM Mirage (MGM - commentary - Trade Now), up 27% for the year. Even against a smaller U.S. regional player such as Boyd Gaming (BYD - commentary - Trade Now), which has regained a healthy 31% of its stock price this year, LVS is still way ahead.

Auch ich habe bei LVS gezockt, warte und hoffe auf günstigere Kurse
in den nächsten Tagen.

So langsam gehört  Deutschland - nach den anderen Spielen bisher -
für mich zum Favorietenkreis, wenn denn das erste Spiel keine Eintagsfliege war.
Auf Brasilien freue ich mich ebenfalls sehr.

Danke :-))

war mein Kauf mit Verbund zur Zeit kein Fehler, heute 4% im Plus, immerhin...
LVS darf vorerst nochmal runter gehen, möchte gern nochmal billig einkaufen und dann bis 75$ abwarten...

wieder mal zu spät !!!

mal im grünen Bereich...

In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft.
Die Schlußglocke ist entscheidend !

mal ein ordentlicher Kick. Ganz schön erschreckend, was uns da bisher so geboten wurde.

grotten Kicks heute Nachmittag.
Wenigstens gibts jetzt mal ein Tor, obwohl die Nordkoreaner recht gut mitgespielt haben.
Aber Brasilien hat ja auch nix getan bisher...

Von Ihnen kommen bereits 7 der letzten 20 (oder weniger) positiven Bewertungen für Guido.

also mental hat Nordkorea gewonnen *gg* Brasilien zeigte Standfußball vom Feinsten...
Mal sehen was heute die Börse so macht, gestern wars mal endlich wieder schön grün bis zum Schluß.

So kurz vorm Urlaub sehe ich das jetzt allerdings etwas gelassener.

Einen schönen Tag

Guido

Las Vegas (BoerseGo.de) – Die US-Ratingagentur Standard & Poor’s korrigiert ihren Ausblick für den  Casinobetreiber Las Vegas Sands von „negativ“ auf „positiv“. Das Unternehmen hat besonders unter dem rezessiven Umfeld gelitten, indem US-Verbraucher ihre Konsumfreudigkeit stark einschränkten und Besuche im Spielerparadies gestrichen wurden.

Analyst Ben Bubeck von S&P begründet seine Neueinschätzung mit den strikten Kosteneinsparungsmaßnahmen und dem verbesserten Kapitalpolster des Unternehmens.

Das UPGRADE Ist zwar schon etwas älter, ich lese es aber immer noch gern.

von Brasilien hatte ich mehr erwartet.
Bin gespannt aus Spanien am Nachmittag.

Global bonds guru Bill Gross, chief investment officer of PIMCO, told CNBC Wednesday that he is making a shift towards equities.

“We are making a move into equities, period,” said Gross. “We are recognizing that the global marketplace is not just bond-oriented, and so equities have a place, always have had a place.”

The move marks a shift in investment strategy for PIMCO, renowned for its expertise in fixed income.

“Corporate equities, in terms of valuation, are selling at very low P/E ratios and in some cases might be perceived to be almost as safe, or almost as secure as the sovereigns themselves,” said Gross.

And despite significant debt problems the euro zone’s currently facing, he believes the region is the best place to pick up equities, citing their international exposure, privately run nature and relatively skinny balance sheet.

But returns at this point, will be small, Gross noted.

“Revenue growth cannot be expected to do much better, or much worse,” he said, adding that European companies with international focus will do well, as they are able to reap returns from developing nations with stronger growth.

Gross, who manages the world’s biggest bond fund worth $1 trillion, maintained that U.S. Treasurys are still the “go-to” flight to safety trade as it represents the world’s reserve currency.

When asked whether bonds issued by embattled BP [BP  31.40    0.73  (+2.38%)   ] are safe bets, Gross revealed that although the energy giant does offers value, PIMCO does not own a lot of its paper as there is “simply too much of a risk to assess at the moment.”

With regards to ratings agencies, which have been heavily criticized for assigning overly rosy ratings on dubious financial offerings, he believes there is a need for regulation.

“Rather than respect them, I think investors are basically in the process of dismissing them,” noted Gross.

Ich rechne damit, daß der Kurs der BP Aktie weiterfallen wird.
Sollte der Kurs in absehbarer Zukunft in Deutschland unter 3 Euro
notieren, dann werde ich mir einige Aktien zulegen.
