SOS ended 2020 at $1.48. On Feb. 17, it hit a multi-year high of $15.88. Now shares are down to $4.15. Although there have been daily short-term rallies in the stock in recent days, they have all fizzled out.</p>\n<p>Now market participants wonder what might be next for SOS. Potential investors should not buy SOS stock as it is pure speculation at this point. Instead, they could use their hard-earned capital to invest in other shares that have verifiable businesses with high-growth potential.</p>\n<p>Let’s see why.</p>\n<p><b>Why SOS Stock Has Declined</b></p>\n<p>Momentum stocks like SOS stock receive significant daily attention. But amid such short-term choppiness, retail investors do not always find it easy to get the whole story behind a company. China-based SOS regards itself as a cryptocurrency miner. Therefore, for most crypto miners, their share prices have become somewhat of a proxy for these digital assets.</p>\n<p><b>Bitcoin</b>(CCC:<b><u>BTC-USD</u></b>),<b>Ethereum</b>&nbsp;(CCC:<b><u>ETH-USD</u></b>) and other cryptocurrencies have seen new record highs. For instance, year-to-date (YTD), BTC and ETH have gained over 90% and 195%.When cryptos rise, miners rise; when cryptos fall, miners fall. Therefore, anyone investing in SOS stock would especially need to keep a close eye on the price of Bitcoin.</p>\n<p>However, there is more to the roller-coaster moves in SOS stock. The rapid decline in the share price has mainly happened as a result of two separate reports byHindenburg Researchand Culper Research. Thesefirms now haveshort positionsin the shares.</p>\n<p>Thus, the market has been abuzz withthese reports,which&nbsp;“find the Company’s claims regarding its supposed cryptocurrency mining purchases and acquisitions to be extremely problematic, if not fabricated entirely.” They clearly state that they believe SOS shares are “worthless.”</p>\n<p>As a result of these reports, SOS stock is now on the short-squeeze list of Reddit traders, causing wild short-term swings. But potential investors need to look beyond these daily moves.</p>\n<p><b>Understanding What SOS Does</b></p>\n<p>According to a MarchSEC filing, SOS was set up in Delaware in July 2004 as China Risk Finance LLC.&nbsp; Initially, it provided credit analytics services. The American Depositary Shares (ADS) commenced trading in April 2017 under the symbol XRF. In late 2018, the group started to transition the business to other industries.</p>\n<p>The SEC report also cites the acquisition of a British Virgin Islands company, Yong Bao Two Limited (YBT), a move that was finalized in May 2020.The second half of 2020 has been busy for the company. The management decided to cease their legacy peer-to-peer lending business and switch their focus to high-tech services including marketing data, technology and solutions for insurance companies and emergency rescue services in China. The stock ticker was also changed toSOS.</p>\n<p>SOS stock’s current business is quite varied. It ranges from data mining and analysis to high-tech services. There’s also an SOS cloud emergency rescue service software as a service (SaaS) platform, a data warehouse with 120 million active customer records, and finally a crypto mining business, according to the filing.</p>\n<p>On April 12, SOS announced to have entered into anon-binding letter&nbsp;of intent to “acquire the majority of the equity interests of three U.S.-based power plants for its planned crypto-mining operations in North America.”That move is consistent with management’s anticipation to grow its crypto mining operations.</p>\n<p>However, SOS does not yet have any revenue from crypto mining. Therefore, it is not possible to verify the extent and the viability of operations until the company releases more information and earnings reports.</p>\n<p><b>The Bottom Line on SOS Stock</b></p>\n<p>In its early days as China Rapid Finance, SOS operated a consumer lending marketplace. Then came the change of name and the move into an insurance business. And as the price of cryptocurrencies took off, management added crypto mining to its line of business.</p>\n<p>We should not be surprised if non-fungible tokens (NFTs) also get added to the list of businesses in the coming months.</p>\n<p>Given its changing operations and questionable revenue propositions, I find SOS stock a risky proposition at this point. We have not had an earnings release since June 2020, when it announced full-year 2019 results.

SOS ended 2020 at $1.48. On Feb. 17, it hit a multi-year high of $15.88. Now shares are down to $4.15. Although there have been daily short-term rallies in the stock in recent days, they have all fizzled out.\nNow market participants wonder what might be next for SOS. Potential investors should not buy SOS stock as it is pure speculation at this point. Instead, they could use their hard-earned capital to invest in other shares that have verifiable businesses with high-growth potential.\nLet’s see why.\nWhy SOS Stock Has Declined\nMomentum stocks like SOS stock receive significant daily attention. But amid such short-term choppiness, retail investors do not always find it easy to get the whole story behind a company. China-based SOS regards itself as a cryptocurrency miner. Therefore, for most crypto miners, their share prices have become somewhat of a proxy for these digital assets.\nBitcoin(CCC:BTC-USD),Ethereum (CCC:ETH-USD) and other cryptocurrencies have seen new record highs. For instance, year-to-date (YTD), BTC and ETH have gained over 90% and 195%.When cryptos rise, miners rise; when cryptos fall, miners fall. Therefore, anyone investing in SOS stock would especially need to keep a close eye on the price of Bitcoin.\nHowever, there is more to the roller-coaster moves in SOS stock. The rapid decline in the share price has mainly happened as a result of two separate reports byHindenburg Researchand Culper Research. Thesefirms now haveshort positionsin the shares.\nThus, the market has been abuzz withthese reports,which “find the Company’s claims regarding its supposed cryptocurrency mining purchases and acquisitions to be extremely problematic, if not fabricated entirely.” They clearly state that they believe SOS shares are “worthless.”\nAs a result of these reports, SOS stock is now on the short-squeeze list of Reddit traders, causing wild short-term swings. But potential investors need to look beyond these daily moves.\nUnderstanding What SOS Does\nAccording to a MarchSEC filing, SOS was set up in Delaware in July 2004 as China Risk Finance LLC.  Initially, it provided credit analytics services. The American Depositary Shares (ADS) commenced trading in April 2017 under the symbol XRF. In late 2018, the group started to transition the business to other industries.\nThe SEC report also cites the acquisition of a British Virgin Islands company, Yong Bao Two Limited (YBT), a move that was finalized in May 2020.The second half of 2020 has been busy for the company. The management decided to cease their legacy peer-to-peer lending business and switch their focus to high-tech services including marketing data, technology and solutions for insurance companies and emergency rescue services in China. The stock ticker was also changed toSOS.\nSOS stock’s current business is quite varied. It ranges from data mining and analysis to high-tech services. There’s also an SOS cloud emergency rescue service software as a service (SaaS) platform, a data warehouse with 120 million active customer records, and finally a crypto mining business, according to the filing.\nOn April 12, SOS announced to have entered into anon-binding letter of intent to “acquire the majority of the equity interests of three U.S.-based power plants for its planned crypto-mining operations in North America.”That move is consistent with management’s anticipation to grow its crypto mining operations.\nHowever, SOS does not yet have any revenue from crypto mining. Therefore, it is not possible to verify the extent and the viability of operations until the company releases more information and earnings reports.\nThe Bottom Line on SOS Stock\nIn its early days as China Rapid Finance, SOS operated a consumer lending marketplace. Then came the change of name and the move into an insurance business. And as the price of cryptocurrencies took off, management added crypto mining to its line of business.\nWe should not be surprised if non-fungible tokens (NFTs) also get added to the list of businesses in the coming months.\nGiven its changing operations and questionable revenue propositions, I find SOS stock a risky proposition at this point. We have not had an earnings release since June 2020, when it announced full-year 2019 results. In 2019, revenue declined by 38% from the previous year and net loss was close to $10 million.Those investors who hold paper profits in SOS stock right now might want to take money off the table.\nAt this point, the business does not deserve any hard-earned investment capital. However, if you are speculator and day trader, you might understandably want to ride the wave as long as you are within your well-defined risk parameters.\nReaders interested in the fintech, blockchain or cryptocurrency space might also consider investing in a relevant exchange-traded fund (ETF).

If market makers or other options traders who delta-hedge their positions are net long ATM options, expiration-related flow could have the effect of dampening stock price movements, causing the stock price to settle near the strike with large open interest. This situation is often referred to as a “pin” and can be an ideal situation fora large investor trying to enter/exit a stock position. Alternatively, if delta-hedgers are net short ATM options (have a “negative gamma” position), their hedging activity could exacerbate stock price moves.</p><p>What that means it expiration-related trades may cause trading activity to aggressively pick up for stocks with a significant amount of ATM open interest.</p><p>So to help traders looking to hop on for daytrading opportunities, here is a table identifying possible focus stocks with large ATM open interest expiring today, which is compared to the average daily volume of the underlying stocks.

It's why, even though we are enjoying a beautiful spring week, Goldman notes that single stock options trading activity is elevated relative to historical levels. To wit, daily options volumes are up 70% in April, up from YTD lows of $2.4bn on 30-Mar.In total, across single stocks, $544BN of options are set to expiry today, including $305BN calls.As such, today’s expiry could be important for stocks with large open interest in at-the-money(ATM) options, as market makers delta-hedging their unusually large options portfolios will be active. This flow is likely to dampen volatility in some names while exacerbating stock price moves in others.How to trade this?As Goldman's Vishal Vivek writes, at major expirations, options traders track situations wherea large amount of open interest is set to expire.In situations where there is a significant amount of expiring open interest in at-the-money strikes (strike prices at or very near the current stockprice), delta-hedging activity can impact the underlying stock’s trading that day. If market makers or other options traders who delta-hedge their positions are net long ATM options, expiration-related flow could have the effect of dampening stock price movements, causing the stock price to settle near the strike with large open interest. This situation is often referred to as a “pin” and can be an ideal situation fora large investor trying to enter/exit a stock position. Alternatively, if delta-hedgers are net short ATM options (have a “negative gamma” position), their hedging activity could exacerbate stock price moves.What that means it expiration-related trades may cause trading activity to aggressively pick up for stocks with a significant amount of ATM open interest.So to help traders looking to hop on for daytrading opportunities, here is a table identifying possible focus stocks with large ATM open interest expiring today, which is compared to the average daily volume of the underlying stocks. As Goldman puts it, \"expiration-related activity is likely to have more of an impact if the open interest represents a significant percentage of the stock’s volume.\"Finally, for what it's worth, this morning our friends at SpotGamma write that this has been a rather strange OPEX cycle, \"with a consistent almost mechanical bid pushing markets higher.

We have not had an earnings release since June 2020, when it announced full-year 2019 results. In 2019, revenue declined by 38% from the previous year and net loss was close to $10 million.Those investors who hold paper profits in SOS stock right now might want to take money off the table.\nAt this point, the business does not deserve any hard-earned investment capital. However, if you are speculator and day trader, you might understandably want to ride the wave as long as you are within your well-defined risk parameters.\nReaders interested in the fintech, blockchain or cryptocurrency space might also consider investing in a relevant exchange-traded fund (ETF).

It's why, even though we are enjoying a beautiful spring week, Goldman notes that single stock options trading activity is elevated relative to historical levels. To wit, daily options volumes are up 70% in April, up from YTD lows of $2.4bn on 30-Mar.</p><p><b>In total, across single stocks, $544BN of options are set to expiry today, including $305BN calls.</b>As such, today’s expiry could be important for stocks with large open interest in at-the-money(ATM) options, as market makers delta-hedging their unusually large options portfolios will be active. This flow is likely to dampen volatility in some names while exacerbating stock price moves in others.</p><p>How to trade this?</p><p>As Goldman's Vishal Vivek writes, at major expirations, options traders track situations where<b>a large amount of open interest is set to expire.</b>In situations where there is a significant amount of expiring open interest in at-the-money strikes (strike prices at or very near the current stockprice), delta-hedging activity can impact the underlying stock’s trading that day. If market makers or other options traders who delta-hedge their positions are net long ATM options, expiration-related flow could have the effect of dampening stock price movements, causing the stock price to settle near the strike with large open interest. This situation is often referred to as a “pin” and can be an ideal situation fora large investor trying to enter/exit a stock position. Alternatively, if delta-hedgers are net short ATM options (have a “negative gamma” position), their hedging activity could exacerbate stock price moves.</p><p>What that means it expiration-related trades may cause trading activity to aggressively pick up for stocks with a significant amount of ATM open interest.</p><p>So to help traders looking to hop on for daytrading opportunities, here is a table identifying possible focus stocks with large ATM open interest expiring today, which is compared to the average daily volume of the underlying stocks. As Goldman puts it, \"<i>expiration-related activity is likely to have more of an impact if the open interest represents a significant percentage of the stock’s volume.\"</i></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0dac61cb87c2f2700d8a0e8e64324f81\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"638\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Finally, for what it's worth, this morning our friends at SpotGamma write that this has been a rather strange OPEX cycle, \"with a consistent almost mechanical bid pushing markets higher. We’ve not seen the Call Wall “breached” this many times before, but there are other aberrations that we’ve mentioned in previous notes – like net put sales. We’ve got some theories on this we are posting in a longer form piece.\"</p><p>According to SG, because implied volatility has now compressed (ie VIX at new lows) there is now more potential for “long term” volatility. Recall how as of late any sharp, violent drop in markets was bought so quickly (see chart below).<b>These bursts lower coincided with record VIX spikes, but a reflective snap-back bid would bring a market recovery of equal force as the VIX&nbsp; (i.e. implied volatility) reversed.</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ae7a60d873792b825bdda669cafa0ed3\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"297\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">And one other curious observation from SpotGamma:</p><blockquote>When implied volatility is very high, its very sensitive to market moves and also signaling that markets are expecting more large moves ahead.

It's why, even though we are enjoying a beautiful spring week, Goldman notes that single stock options trading activity is elevated relative to historical levels. To wit, daily options volumes are up 70% in April, up from YTD lows of $2.4bn on 30-Mar.In total, across single stocks, $544BN of options are set to expiry today, including $305BN calls.As such, today’s expiry could be important for stocks with large open interest in at-the-money(ATM) options, as market makers delta-hedging their unusually large options portfolios will be active. This flow is likely to dampen volatility in some names while exacerbating stock price moves in others.How to trade this?As Goldman's Vishal Vivek writes, at major expirations, options traders track situations wherea large amount of open interest is set to expire.In situations where there is a significant amount of expiring open interest in at-the-money strikes (strike prices at or very near the current stockprice), delta-hedging activity can impact the underlying stock’s trading that day. If market makers or other options traders who delta-hedge their positions are net long ATM options, expiration-related flow could have the effect of dampening stock price movements, causing the stock price to settle near the strike with large open interest. This situation is often referred to as a “pin” and can be an ideal situation fora large investor trying to enter/exit a stock position. Alternatively, if delta-hedgers are net short ATM options (have a “negative gamma” position), their hedging activity could exacerbate stock price moves.What that means it expiration-related trades may cause trading activity to aggressively pick up for stocks with a significant amount of ATM open interest.So to help traders looking to hop on for daytrading opportunities, here is a table identifying possible focus stocks with large ATM open interest expiring today, which is compared to the average daily volume of the underlying stocks. As Goldman puts it, \"expiration-related activity is likely to have more of an impact if the open interest represents a significant percentage of the stock’s volume.\"Finally, for what it's worth, this morning our friends at SpotGamma write that this has been a rather strange OPEX cycle, \"with a consistent almost mechanical bid pushing markets higher. We’ve not seen the Call Wall “breached” this many times before, but there are other aberrations that we’ve mentioned in previous notes – like net put sales. We’ve got some theories on this we are posting in a longer form piece.\"According to SG, because implied volatility has now compressed (ie VIX at new lows) there is now more potential for “long term” volatility. Recall how as of late any sharp, violent drop in markets was bought so quickly (see chart below).These bursts lower coincided with record VIX spikes, but a reflective snap-back bid would bring a market recovery of equal force as the VIX  (i.e. implied volatility) reversed.And one other curious observation from SpotGamma:When implied volatility is very high, its very sensitive to market moves and also signaling that markets are expecting more large moves ahead. As soon as markets would pause or catch a support level, that implied volatility would quickly reverse lower. We often think of this analogy that if a shark stops swimming, it sinks ( partially true!). If the market stops dropping then Implied volatility sinks.With this, as we often talk about, lower implied volatility (ie lower VIX) signals market makers have to buy back short hedges which fuels rallies. SG's conclusion: this current level of lower implied volatility now gives the market more downside firepower.  Starting with a lower implied volatility “slows down” that responsive “snap-back” buying mechanism.  Additionally, gamma is higher when IV is lower so gamma flips may have more juice.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":568,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
