Great Start to the Short Week, Fresh Plays

Short Week Begins on a High Note: 

We got things off to a really good start yesterday morning with our first report of this short trading week, carrying over the success we have been enjoying all year long. We rarely seem to miss, and such was the case again with yesterday’s potential targets.

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%)
$152.50: .05-.50 (+900%)
_____

TGT Weekly $162.50-165 Calls
$162.50: .27-1.43 (+430%)

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.
