Trading idea competition: What is pairs trading strategy?
A pairs trade is a tactic that involves buying one asset while simultaneously selling another highly correlated asset in order to potentially benefit from price fluctuations between the two assets. This strategy may be helpful in capitalizing on market trends and reducing market volatility risks. We welcome mooers to participate in this competition and share their trading ideas.
The rules are pretty simple:
Step 1: Identify two assets. It might be better if two assets have a strong correlation for pair trading to work effectively.
Step 2: Choose one to go long, and the other one to go short. Mooers can place a long position (buy) on one asset and a short position (sell) on the other. You may also feel free to select multiple symbols as you wish for both long and short positions.
Step 3: Provide detailed explanations for your choices. Regardless of which assets you choose and the results you achieve, we will place emphasis on your elaborations, which are crucial to winning rewards.

Kopikarp : Short: $JPMorgan (JPM.US)$ $138.96
Long: $Bank of America (BAC.US)$ $28.02
Reasons for the above strategies:
This pair strategy is based on relative valuations and recent price movements of the two stocks.
The long position on BAC is motivated by its lower P/E ratio of 8.40, compared to JPM's P/E ratio of 10.22, suggesting a potential undervaluation of BAC. Additionally, BAC offers a higher dividend yield of 3.15%, which might appeal to income-focused investors. The recent decline in BAC's stock price, from approximately $33.51 to $28.0187, also offers a potential buying opportunity.
Conversely, the short position on JPM is influenced by its higher P/E ratio and recent upward price movement from about $135.12 to $138.96, which could indicate potential relative overvaluation. This strategy would benefit if JPM's stock price were to fall in the future.
