Trade Idea: SOFI
SOFI is a lending company which reports earnings Oct 29. Short float 17% so may get a short squeeze into earnings. COF earnings results can provide a lift to companies like SOFI which are sensitive to borrowers with weaker credit ratings. Premarket high 11.36 with 11.5 a breakout level and support 11. Call options are pricing 12-12.5 into next week. Note, risky stock, hence the higher short interest. It does well in a risk-on market and will be destroyed in risk-off. These type of companies are Trump win beneficiaries according to analysts
