Retail Recaps, Fresh Options Ideas

Holiday Week Wrap-Up:

After a restful weekend following the Thanksgiving holiday, we’re ready to hop back into the saddle, and ride out in search of opportunity once again. We’ve been a little short on earnings reporters lately, which is not atypical for the holiday season and may very well persist into the new year. We’ll continue to make do however we can, like we did on Friday with a pair of retail plays in WMT and TGT. We expect to be seeing a lot of the retail space over the next several weeks.

As for Friday’s targets for the half day, we were focused in on the WMT Weekly $150-152.50 Calls and the TGT Weekly $162.50-165 Calls. Each pair of contracts recorded one relatively nominal gain and one big, impressive multibag run for us.

WMT Weekly $150-152.50 Calls
$150: 2.00-2.73 (+37%)

Options Gainers Across the Board, New Ideas

Options Gainers Across the Board:

The markets were back to the doldrums yesterday, gapping down to start and never getting back above water on the session, but that didn’t stop us from scoring some decent gain chances with the options ideas in our premarket report. Not all of those potential gains were earth-shattering, but several were extremely solid, and the remainder was respectable.

We were tracking the NTES Weekly $98-100 Calls, which put forth the moderate opportunities, while the WOOF Weekly $15-16 Calls, and the ZM Weekly $91.50-93 Calls fared quite a bit better, as they logged extra large multi-bag spikes on the day. Take a look at the figures from these successful plays below:

NTES Weekly $98-100 Calls
$98: 1.25-1.88 (+50%)
$99: .95-1.41 (+48%)
$100: .80-1.15 (+44%)

WOOF Weekly $15-16 Calls
$15: .20-.70 (+250%)
$15.50: .15-.40 (+167%)
