TAL

iHuman Inc. offers childhood edutainment services in China.With 66% sales growth, the company trades at 16x sales, which, in my view, is expensive.Competitors trade at 3x-9x sales, so perhaps shorts will appreciate iHuman at 16x.The Board of Directors may not be independent, and iHuman is a controlled entity. It is not ideal.The company's website reports 1.61 page per visite, which appears to be low.

Shares of TAL Education (NYSE: TAL) saw some unusual options activity on Tuesday. Following the unusual option alert, the stock price moved down to $77.91. * Sentiment: BEARISH * Option Type: SWEEP * Trade Type: PUT * Expiration Date: 2020-11-20 * Strike Price: $72.50 * Volume: 1800 * Open Interest: 1487Three Signs Of Unusual Options Activity Extraordinarily large volume (compared to historical averages) is one indication of unusual options market activity. Volume refers to the total number of contracts traded over a given time period when discussing options market activity. The number of unsettled contracts that have been traded, but not yet closed, is called open interest. These contracts are not yet closed because a buyer has not purchased the contract, or a seller has not sold it.Another indicator of unusual options activity is the trading of a contract with an expiration date in the distant future. Additional time until a contract expires generally increases the potential for it to grow its time value and reach its strike price. It is important to consider time value because it represents the difference between the strike price and the value of the underlying asset.Contracts that are "out of the money" are also indicative of unusual options activity. "Out of the money" contracts occur when the underlying price is under the strike price on a call option, or above the strike price on a put option. These trades are made with the expectation that the value of the underlying asset is going to change dramatically in the future, and buyers and sellers will benefit from a greater profit margin.Bullish And Bearish Sentiments Options are "bullish" when a call is purchased at/near ask price or a put is sold at/near bid price. Options are "bearish" when a call is sold at/near bid price or a put is bought at/near ask price.These observations are made without knowing the investor's true intent by purchasing these options contracts. The activity is suggestive of these strategies, but an observer cannot be sure if a bettor is playing the contract outright or if the options bettor is hedging a large underlying position in common stock. For the latter case, bullish options activity may be less meaningful than the exposure a large investor has on their short position in common stock.Trading Options With These Strategies Unusual options activity is an advantageous strategy that may greatly reward an investor if they are highly skilled, but for the less experienced trader, it should remain as another tool to make an educated investment decision while taking other observations into account.For more information to understand options alerts, visit https://pro.benzinga.help/en/articles/1769505-how-do-i-understand-options-alertsSee more from Benzinga * Options Trades For This Crazy Market: Get Benzinga Options to Follow High-Conviction Trade Ideas * Stocks That Hit 52-Week Highs On Wednesday(C) 2020 Benzinga.com.
