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

$152.50: .05-.50 (+900%)

More Options Gainers, Fresh Plays

Options Rehash:

As we’ve already mentioned this week, the landscape for earnings reporters and the subsequent frenzy they produce has been growing thin once again as we head into another quiet period. We won’t let that stop us from rooting out the best ideas we can, and yesterday’s quick-strike play, the DOOO Weekly $70-75 Calls, worked pretty well for us.

Additionally, we signaled a possible longer-term play, the AFG 09/16 $130-132 Calls in a report from a couple of weeks back, which made a noteworthy move we’ve like to review as well.

DOOO Weekly $70-75 Calls
$70:
 3.02-5.50 (+233%)
$75: .70-2.85 (+307%)

AFG 09/16 $130-132 Calls

Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. APDN

We also want to briefly go over yesterday’s landmark performance by APDN, a stock we most recently mentioned on October 22nd. We did see a backslide following that alert, but APDN has more than made up for it with its incredible move.

Yesterday alone, the stock made a big enough move to register as the number one gainer on the NASDAQ as it ran from 5.57-19.69, an eye-popping 254% pop.
