Wrapping Up a Good Holiday Week

Wednesday Options Recap:

We hope everyone enjoyed the holiday break, however you chose to spend it! We’re thankful for our long history of successful trading ideas, and for you, the readers! As we gear up for today’s half session we are, of course, going to kick things off with a rundown of the plays we alerted in our premarket report on Wednesday morning. There are no earnings reporters this morning, but we’ve got a couple of retail ideas to share.

All three of our ideas from Wednesday posted respectable intraday moves for us, and those were the ADSK Weekly $197.50-192.50 Puts, the JWN Weekly $22-21 Puts, and the DE Weekly $420-430 Calls. While the opportunities we’re eye-popping by any stretch, they were still very good for a day that is traditionally more subdued.

$197.50:
 1.70-3.20 (+88%)
$195: .80-1.76 (+120%)
