Bulls Go Long on Nordstrom as Headwinds Hinder Competition

by | Jun 9, 2022 | Options

In Thursday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take a look at top department store chain Nordstrom as the stock continues its post-earnings climb.

Several brick-and-mortar retailers took a hit earlier this week when Target Corp. (NYSE: TGT) lowered its second-quarter guidance less than a month after its May 18 earnings report…

But as we discussed in our most recent WealthPress Live Roundtable, you can’t judge the whole sector by one company’s performance…

Just look at the run Nordstrom has been on since beating analysts’ earnings expectations on May 24…

Shares added more than 6% to an already impressive 39% gain over three weeks!

Thursday saw bullish options traders line up for more long-term upside, grabbing more than 1,100 contracts of the Oct. 21 expiration, $32.50 strike calls for over $230,000 in premium!

Of course, that’s not the only sharp-looking order flow hitting Thursday’s tape…

  • Nordstrom Inc. (NYSE: JWN): Aug. 19, $19 CALL; Aug. 19, $23 CALL. 
  • Veru Inc. (Nasdaq: VERU): June 17, $15 PUT.
  • American Airlines Group Inc. (Nasdaq: AAL): Nov. 18, $15 PUT.

Check out my short video and I’ll break down the day’s most unusual options order flow in no time flat!

P.S. Month after month, the results have spoken for themselves…

By relying on an obscure — and hidden — market pattern, one group of traders has SMASHED the S&P 500!

And no surprise here but anyone else who’s uncovered this pattern is likely keeping it to themselves…

But I want to break this story WIDE OPEN so everyday traders can take advantage, too!

Blitz Daily With Lance Ippolitto

At Weekly Blitz Alerts, we like to print money, baby! I know, I know, you’re probably thinking, “Lance, how do we do that? Print money? Come on…”  

But in all seriousness, we follow the big fish and what they’re buying. And we do that with my proprietary Blitz Tracker, which alerts me to big, institutional options order flow throughout the day. Then we get in on these plays and follow the “smart money.”  

By doing this, we cash in whether the broader market is going up, down or sideways. 

The Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito is where I go over a handful of options trades that hit my Blitz Tracker each day, Monday through Thursday. I will break down the trade with the sexiest order flow and tell you exactly what I think can happen with that stock by the next day’s opening bell.

A friend of mine sent me this chart about three months ago. I should probably print it and keep it in my wallet next to a photo of my daughter. Given the sheer number of questions I’ve fielded lately, I’ll probably end up showing this chart more than her picture.
