MAT at $21.79 is just above its 3 years low of $19.45 hit in September of 2015. Talk about dead money. Yet, the July 21, $24 contract is trading at $.45; also with low volume; only 5 contracts traded.
I no longer own either stock. HAS is in 2 of my target/model portfolios that I publish, follow, and report on in this blog. HAS is in the 2011 portfolio. Bought on October 24, 2011 for $35.09. I bought it again for the 2012 portfolio at a lower price $33.25. At that time it was not such a good holding. Since then, it has been quite a nice holding.
Will MAT fail? I don't know. Will MAT be acquired, perhaps. HAS is a good holding and with a dividend yield of only 2.12, I won't be buying it soon but it sure is worth watching.
