Toys Industry - nesting

2020, the toy industry enjoyed a 16% increase — or $3.5 billion — in sales from 2019. With families spending more time at home, parents turned to toys to keep everyone entertained indoors. Hasbro, which owns some of the most popular toy brands, such as Monopoly, NERF, and Jenga, has been top of mind for consumers. Its success is also aided by its strength in the digital sector, thanks to its massively popular games, TV shows and movies based on their strongest toy brands.

FY'20 c$21.6/oz - to benefit at 100:1 ratio vs normal 20:1 - Playing catchup

  • 7/21/2020 Silver scores highest finish since 2014 September contract SIU20, 0.69% up $1.37, or 6.8%, to end at $21.557 an ounce after a high at $21.63. Most-active silver futures marked their highest settlement since March 2014.
  • 7/21/2020 Silver spot prices have outperformed gold so far this month

Ironically the ratio of gold to silver could spike to around 130 — meaning that it would take 130 ounces of silver to buy one ounce of gold. That ratio is now back under 100, but that figure should be closer to 50 instead, he said. “Even at a 50 ratio, silver is far removed from the ratio found naturally,” said Spina, as silver is found at a ratio of nearly 20 ounces per ounce of gold.

ETFs store silver value > As of June 30, global holdings of silver in silver exchange-traded products, or ETPs, which include ETFs, reached a “fresh all-time high of 925 million ounces, which is roughly 14 months of mine supply,” according to a recent report from The Silver Institute, an international industry association. ETP growth in the first half of 2020 of 196 million ounces “comfortably surpassed” the highest annual inflow of 149 million ounces set in 2009, the report said.

“Trading in the gray metal is worth barely 10% of what gold sees each day, so hedge funds and other money managers wanting to catch up with the yellow metal’s jump towards new all-time highs might expect to get more bang for their buck in silver,” said Adrian Ash, director of research at BullionVault.

  • SILVER IS VERY VOLATILE - silver has jumped from its COVID-19 price crash to an 11-year low in mid-March by 58% in just 80 trading days. That puts the March to July 2020 performance in the “top 4% of all four-month gains over the last half-century,” he told MarketWatch. Even so, silver has outpaced this current surge many times — in 1974, 1979, 1982, 1987, 2010 and 2011, which all marked times of extreme economic or financial stress, so “when silver gets moving, it can really move.

EOG

EOG Resources (EOG) is known as the "Apple of Oil" for its use of technology and big data to aid in drilling operations. The company has a $51 billion market cap.

The company has premium acreage in the Eagle Ford shale formation in south Texas and the Permian's Delaware Basin.

EOG beat analyst expectations when it reported Q1 results May 6, as EPS nearly tripled to $1.62 with revenue down 22% to $3.69 billion. The shale producer also declared a special dividend of $1 after earlier hiking its regular payout, bringing total expected return of cash to shareholders in 2021 to $1.5 billion.

On May 7, shares broke out from a flat base with a 77.24 buy point, and beyond the 5% chase zone, which tops out at 81.10.EOG stock is extended and not currently a buy.

In February, EOG projected 2021 crude oil production at 440,000 barrels per day, up from 2020's full-year average of 409,200 bpd. EOG is allocating more capital in 2021 to test high‐impact oil plays and lease acreage and sees capital spending at $3.7 million -$4.1 million for the year, up from $3.5 million in 2020.
