Santa Claus Rally?
The Nasdaq gapped up +26 points this morning opening at 2607. It felt strong to me and I hopped on to catch some of the upswing. I think it could make a decent attempt towards its 50 day EMA which is 2679 - that’s a good additional 72 points. I turned to JCP (JC Penney’s) for a trade.
I chose JCP because I remember trading JCP in the 60’s a few months ago - it has decent volatility and can really go up 2-3 points in a day- that’s what I’m going for. I don’t think this is THE turnaround but I’ll go for a bounce. It was trading at $41.80 when I looked at the call prices. I chose the $42.50 strike price because I can see it going in the money.
Bought:
JCP Dec07 $42.50 calls - 10 @ $2.00
