ANH $7.32 |
Following the May 6 flash crash, a 13% intraday fall for ANH, the stock dusted itself off and began a slow, steady rise than in the main has continued unabated through bull signals and bear signals up to the present day.
The stock's trading pattern since it peaked at $16.65 in 2003 has been one of choppy decline and choppy retracement to a lower high. So it's not a stock that I trust for the long-term. For the shorter-term, however, it may be worth going along for the ride.
The price is well above the 200-day moving average and is tracking just above the 20-day moving average.
On the downside, however, volumes are well below their normal levels on the three-month chart, which suggests that trading reflects disinterest rather than quiet confidence.
The company pays quarter dividends. The most recent was 0.25, or 13.9% annualized based on the prior day's close.

ANH $7.32 | $7.21 jul20 | $7.75 | $6.74 |
I can see ANH as a dividend play, using shares rather than options, to be exited upon a bear signal from the pps, or -- trader's choice -- another oscillator, such as the macd or parabolic sar.
The option strike prices are $.50 apart, and the premiums are very low for the nearest out-of-the-money option. So selling covered calls on shares would not be an attractive tactic, in my opinion.
Reversal Levels
- $7.75, +5.9% (upper pivot)
- $7.38, +0.8% (6-month high)
- $7.32 <== You are here.
- $7.21, -1.5%
- $6.74, -7.9%
OK. The credit bubble burst. Housing, burst. Shockwaves reverberated. Markets collapsed. What lies ahead as we reemerge from the wreckage.
