Like TJX long that you posted. By the way I bought some DTE Jan 40 call options since it crossed 50 MA>

CMVT is reporting earnings now. Closed my call options @ $0.3.

Bought CMVT 20 Sept calls for the earning tonight. Co has tons of cash. This position does not cost much but is high risk out of money trade. Instead of holding stock over the earning report with even higher risk, OTM call risk is limited.

Sorry ask the wrong stock, not CPN. It should be DYN, has lots of block trades today. LU & NT too.

Is CPN good to long now?

Any earning option play for CMVT?

Any earning option play for TTWO?

How about adding Sept 32.5 put @ 0.70 to form a strangle?
