Lawyer for former Iraqi general argues former PM should face trial due to legal precedent set during Nuremburg hearings The Chilcot inquiry’s conclusion that the invasion of Iraq was unnecessary and undermined the United Nations requires the prosecution of Tony Blair, the high court has heard.

Implied Volatility Surging for EDAP TMS (EDAP) Stock Options

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Investors in EDAP TMS S.A. EDAP need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the May 19th, 2017 $3 Put had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.

What is Implied Volatility?

Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.

What do the Analysts Think?

Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for EDAP TMS shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, EDAP TMS is a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) in the Medical – Instruments industry that ranks in the Bottom 41% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, no analyst has increased its earnings estimates for the current quarter, while one analyst has dropped its estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from a loss of 1 cent per share to a loss of 3 cents in that period.

Given the way analysts feel about EDAP TMS right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing. Often times, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.

One Wall Street analyst says Snap is an ‘excellent buying opportunity’ (SNAP)

http://ift.tt/2r38yJo

Snap Evan SpiegelSnap, the parent company of messaging app Snapchat, reported earnings and daily active user numbers that disappointed investors and sent the stock crashing 21.5% on Thursday.

But, Drexel Hamilton analyst Brian White thinks the selloff is a “excellent buying opportunity.” In a note circulated on Friday, Hamilton urged  clients to keep their conviction in the stock and to buy more shares.

White reiterated his “Buy” rating and $30.00 price target for Snap, implying a huge upside opportunity of 66%.

White said that while investors live in a world of short-term quarter-to-quarter earnings expectations, management at Snap is planning years ahead, not quarters. He says that Snap’s focus on the future reminds him of Apple in its early days.

While some say that investing in Snap would be a mistake due to the potential for “copycats,” White disagrees. “We view Snap as an original in the camera App world and this authenticity will be tough for competitors to successfully replicate in the eyes of millennialsm,” White wrote. “Moreover, Snap fosters a culture of creativity and a management team that holds the long-term vision necessary to nurture the innovation engine that we believe can create long-lasting value for shareholders.”

White believes that while Wall Street may not have been impressed by Snap’s first quarterly report as a publicly traded company, the numbers reported were still very impressive. 

“Sales surged by 286% in 1Q:17, ARPU increased by a sharp 181% YoY and DAU grew by a strong 36%,” White said.
“Moreover, user engagement continued to increase with over 3B Snaps created per day in 1Q:17 (vs. over 2.5B in 4Q:16), with users spending over 30 minutes per day on Snapchat.”

U.S. used-car glut is a dealer’s dream, automakers’ nightmare

http://ift.tt/2r9zIhF

U.S. used-car glut is a dealer’s dream, automakers’ nightmareThree years ago if a customer walked onto Dan Reel’s used car lot seeking a late-model off-lease Ford Escape, his answer was short: tough luck. The supply of lightly-used cars and trucks was tight because automakers had drastically cut back on bargain leases during and after the Great Recession. Recently, though, a computer search for available used vehicles within 150 miles of Reel revealed an eye-popping figure: 668 Escapes.
