(WTW) - Analyzing Willis Towers Watson's Short Interest

Keeping up with the Joneses might look glamorous on Instagram, but here's the cold, hard truth: the Joneses are broke. That's not just a catchy line – it's wisdom straight from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42856481/single-mom-of-four-receives-1250000-from-late-boss-dave-ramsey-advises-your-new-job-is-to-manage-the-money">Dave Ramsey himself</a>. And let's be real, the man has a point. Americans aren't buying yachts or island getaways with their debt – they're just trying to stay afloat. Spoiler alert: it's not working.
According to Ramsey's 2018 Facebook post, "Stop trying to keep up with the Joneses. They're BROKE." Fast forward to today and the data backs him up. A Nerdwallet report found the average U.S. household owes $175,075, covering everything from mortgages to credit cards. Oh and the grand total for all of us combined? A gut-punching $17.94 trillion in household debt as of late 2024.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
</ul>
Have your neighbors with the shiny new SUV and weekly DoorDash deliveries figured it out? Think again. Mortgages alone average $230,918 per household, while auto loans chip in another $37,274. Even credit cards sneak in $10,563 of "oops, I'll pay it off later" debt. Add student loans averaging $55,777 and suddenly those avocado toast jokes aren't so funny anymore.
Ramsey puts it bluntly in a 2020 Instagram post: "Don't buy things you don't need with money you don't have to impress people you don't like." Translation? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39821566/dave-ramsey-slams-instagram-rich-your-fancy-friends-are-probably-broke">Living fake-rich now</a> just means you'll be real broke later. And let's not forget his Texas-inspired wisdom: "Big hat, no cattle."

It's not just the millennials drowning in loans, either. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42325436/despite-having-the-highest-income-gen-x-also-carries-the-most-debt-explaining-their-rock-bottom-consumer-sentiment">Gen X leads the debt parade</a> with an average of $157,556, while Boomers, who should be living the RV dream, are still hauling around $94,880 of debt. Even Gen Z is already $29,820 deep – most of them haven't even started their careers.
The moral of the story? Stop worrying about the Joneses. They're not the role models you think they are. Instead, focus on living within your means and making smart financial choices. Whether that means creating a budget, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">seeking guidance from a financial expert</a> or simply rethinking unnecessary splurges, it's all about taking control of your money – no matter where you're starting from.

<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Analyst ratings serve as essential indicators of stock performance, provided by experts in banking and financial systems. These specialists diligently analyze company financial statements, participate in conference calls, and engage with insiders to generate quarterly ratings for individual stocks.
Some analysts will also offer forecasts for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide further guidance on stocks. Investors who use analyst ratings should note that this specialized advice comes from humans and may be subject to error.

By the time you're reading this, we'll have a slew of bank earnings out, and the fortunes (or misfortunes) for these stocks will manifest. I've looked at all the major bank earnings coming up from JPM, C, GS and the one which interests me the most is WFC.
Why?
Because after looking at my PFP (positioning, flows and price action) system, WFC is setup for the best trade opportunity.
Let me show you.
Options Positioning in $WFC
Out of all the gamma positioning maps between the banks, WFC had the most interesting structure. The top gamma strike (TGS) is at $70, which is where price action has been parked since December 16. With only a few points above/below, $70 has established itself as ‘fair value'.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="502" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15123712/WFC_2025-01-14_13-20-07-1024x502.png" alt="" class="wp-image-735214" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15123712/WFC_2025-01-14_13-20-07-1024x502.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15123712/WFC_2025-01-14_13-20-07-300x147.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15123712/WFC_2025-01-14_13-20-07-768x377.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15123712/WFC_2025-01-14_13-20-07-1536x753.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15123712/WFC_2025-01-14_13-20-07.png 1835w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Earnings releases tend to push markets away from fair value over the coming sessions, weeks and months, especially as analyst ratings adjust. In terms of ‘where' I think WFC can go, I have two clear options positionally.
Above is the top call strike (TCS) at $75. This becomes an obvious target for bulls while the top put strike (TPS) is below at $65, thus becoming a bear target. A very tidy ‘framing' with the positioning, thus I just need the earnings to move the needle enough to push up or down.
Price Action in $WFC
Looking at the 4hr chart below, we've spent slightly more time above $70 then below it. This was due to the Trump-Bump with the stock settling at fair value.
 Because we've recently been at $65 and $75, both are reasonable targets from a price action perspective that bulls or bears would target respectively.
Flows in $WFC
Flows on the day have been quite bullish in anticipation of the earnings. This is shown by the notional delta reading (as of this writing ~40mins before market close on Tuesday) to be over 15M. For reference, the 30-day record is 14M, so we're above the 30-day high.
This communicates heavy participation in anticipation of the earnings, with bulls buying calls and bears selling puts. Both sides of the option market are bullish, yet the stock has barely budged. This is either longer dated flows, or short calls taking profits and long puts following suit.
How We're Trading $WFC
Looking at the implied move for the week, we're estimating a $3 move up or down from the earnings print. That fits snugly inside the $75/$65 positional range. If most banks produce bullish earnings, $75 looks workable while failing to impress would put $65 under watch.
I can't do a long iron condor as I think its too pricy and offers a risk/reward that is uninteresting. I can do long straddles further out in time to avoid the earnings IV crush, or buy a bull call spread while picking up some long puts to protect my downside.
