November 14th, 2023 Investors Snapping Up Shares of Cencora Dear Reader, Yesterday, we looked at a Daily Price Chart of [Cardinal Health, Inc.](, noting that CAHâs 24/52 Day MACD is trading above the 18-Day EMA signaling a âBuyâ. For todayâs Trade of the Day we will be looking at an On Balance Volume chart for Cencora Inc. stock symbol: COR. Before breaking down CORâs OBV chart letâs first review which products and services are offered by the company. Cencora, Inc. sources and distributes pharmaceutical products. Its U.S. Healthcare Solutions segment distributes pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter healthcare products, home healthcare supplies and equipment, and related services to acute care hospitals and health systems, independent and chain retail pharmacies, mail order pharmacies, medical clinics, long-term care and alternate site pharmacies, and other customers. Confirming a Price Uptrend with OBV The COR daily price chart below shows that COR is in a price uptrend as the current price is above the price COR traded at five months ago (circled). The On Balance Volume chart is below the daily chart. On Balance Volume measures volume flow with a single Easy-to-Read Line. Volume flow precedes price movement and helps sustain the price uptrend. When a stock closes up, volume is added to the line. When a stock closes down, volume is subtracted from the line. A cumulative total of these additions and subtractions form the OBV line. On Balance Volume Indicator â When Close is Up, Volume is Added â When Close is Down, Volume is Subtracted â A Cumulative Total of Additions and Subtractions form the OBV Line Volume flow precedes price and is the key to measuring the validity and sustainability of a price trend. We can see from the OBV chart below that the On Balance Volume line for COR is sloping up. An up-sloping line indicates that the volume is heavier on up days and buying pressure is exceeding selling pressure. Buying pressure must continue to exceed selling pressure in order to sustain a price uptrend. So, On Balance Volume is a simple indicator to use that confirms the price uptrend and its sustainability. The numerical value of the On Balance Volume line is not important. We simply want to see an up-sloping line to confirm a price uptrend. Confirmed âBuyâ Signal for COR Since CORâs OBV line is sloping up, the most likely future price movement for COR is up, making COR a good candidate for a stock purchase or a call option spread. Letâs use the Hughes Optioneering calculator to look at the potential returns for a COR debit spread. The Call Option Spread Calculator will calculate the profit/loss potential for a call option spread based on the price change of the underlying stock/ETF at option expiration in this example from a 7.5% increase to a 7.5% decrease in COR stock at option expiration. The goal of this example is to demonstrate the âbuilt inâ profit potential for option spreads and the ability of spreads to profit if the underlying stock is up, down or flat at option expiration. Out of fairness to our paid option service subscribers we donât list the option strike prices used in the profit/loss calculation. The prices and returns represented below were calculated based on the current stock and option pricing for COR on 11/13/2023 before commissions. Built in Profit Potential For this option spread, the calculator analysis below reveals the cost of the spread is $290 (circled). The maximum risk for an option spread is the cost of the spread. The analysis reveals that if COR stock is flat or up at all at expiration the spread will realize a 72.4% return (circled). And if COR decreases 7.5% at option expiration, the option spread would make a 36.4% return (circled). Due to option pricing characteristics, this option spread has a âbuilt inâ 72.4% profit potential when the trade was identified*. Option spread trades can result in a higher percentage of winning trades compared to a directional option trade if you can profit when the underlying stock/ETF is up, down or flat. A higher percentage of winning trades can give you the discipline needed to become a successful trader. The Hughes Optioneering Team is here to help you identify profit opportunities just like this one.

Trade High Priced Stocks for $350 With Less Risk One of the big advantages to trading option spreads is that spreads allow you to trade high price stocks like Amazon, Google, or Netflix for as little as $350. With an option spread you can control 100 shares of Netflix for $350. If you were to purchase 100 shares of Netflix at current prices it would cost about $44,000. With the stock purchase you are risking $44,000 but with a Netflix option spread that costs $350 your maximum risk is $350 so your dollar risk is lower with option spreads compared to stock purchases.  Wishing You the Best in Investing Success, Chuck Hughes Editor, Trade of the Day Have any questions?
