Quantchabot has detected a promising Synthetic Long Stock trade opportunity for CEL-SCI (CVM) for the 17-Jan-2020 expiration period. You can analyze the opportunity in depth over at the Quantcha Options Search Engine.

CVM was recently trading at $8.61 and has an implied volatility of 141.58% for this period. Based on an analysis of the options available for CVM expiring on 17-Jan-2020, there is a 68.27% likelihood that the underlying will close within the analyzed range of $2.70-$27.88 at expiration. In this scenario, the average linear return for the trade would be 66.08%.

Upside potential: This synthetic long position offers the same potential benefits and liabilities as a long stock position, but at a discount due to the significant premium at-the-money puts are trading at over calls. In this case, the long call position is opened at a strike of $7.50, which is already $1.11 in the money. An out-of-the-money put at the same strike is sold to finance the call, resulting in a net debit of $0.20 per share. The final position can be considered as having a discount of $0.91 per share over the underlying price of $8.61 for a 10.57% total.

Downside risk: This discount is generally a sign of the stock facing considerable short pressure, and may indicate that the stock has become hard to borrow. However, if you have a long view of the underlying over this period, it could be a good opportunity to benefit from the upside at a major discount.
