We have put positions in Best Buy (BBY), Crocs (CROX) and Target (TGT) expiring today.
Our BBY and CROX puts are on track to expire worthless. I will recommend new puts to sell on these names to reduce our net debits on the positions after the Thanksgiving holiday. I anticipate light trading next week and also want to avoid Best Buy’s earnings announcement on Nov. 23.
The protective put we bought to hedge our TGT LEAP call spread is on track to expire worthless. The stock sold off despite the company reporting earnings and revenue that blew through analysts’ estimates. But shares did not fall to our $240 strike level, which is a good thing.
