  • champ: $OLLI $BIG $BJ ...these Retailers are HOD and $BOOT is also hanging in nicely.
  • Robert1965: @champ $OLLI $BIG $BJ $BOOT $BIG Thanks for the heads up on this, took $ near HOD looking for a reentry but it seems too high, your thoughts
  • champ: @Robert1965 $OLLI $BIG $BJ $BOOT .....My main Retail investment position is $OLLI, which is also my largest position and I also really like $BOOT, because they have all the nice apparel items in their stores, for #causal-wear, for those who like to wear jeans, so everything is all in one location, which makes it easy to shop.........and both have room to really have nice moves before they report their earnings.......and my guess is, both are going to have real nice earning-beats..... ...then $BIG and $BJ.....and I'm holding all 4 as Investment positions, could also trade around your Core positions, with trading positions..... ...and now the only real risk is how traders are going to handle all the daily zig-zags, that the Markets will have. Good Luck! Discount-retailers really do well during the Holidays.
  • champ: @Robert1965 $OLLI $BIG $BJ $BOOT......On $BIG....I'm trading this stock with size....and I have to agree with you...because I have been In from below.... ....In and Out and then back-in again.....over and over..... and I have no real clue, what this is going to do, in the short-term.
  • champ: $XRT......Retail #Holiday Sales were reported up 3.1%, and Online Sales grew another 6.3% this year, both numbers were YOY, excluding Auto's and that those numbers are strong, because last years strong Retail numbers.... ...this report was per, #MasterCard-SpendingPulse, today, 12/26... ....these numbers were Sales from 11/1 thru December 24th..... ...$OLLI $BOOT $BIG $BJ's.... many companies are going to have large Earning-Beats......
  • champ: $BIG is HOD, at $7.68, up 11.68%......
  • champ: $BOOT $OLLI $BIG...I believe that these Retailers, which are still laggers, are going to climb much higher and the all 3 have their reasons why they will outperform, from these current price levels....need to check-out those reasons why.
  • champ: $BIG...back-in for a swing at $6.96.
  • champ: I took all of my ETF's off on the close... but only 1/2 on $TNA......and I had a post on $BIG yesterday and I added real size again today, however on this stock I took #full-profits off with nice timing, around 25 minutes before the close.....and that was the second time I nailed $BIG....with big profits...and those $$$ are in $SWVXX for now. ....I also catch this target $GTLS, sleeping near LOD...for a huge Profit trade today, however I'm out again, for now.....
  • champ: $BIG is HOD...Active, sure looks like Buyers are moving in again...
  • champ: $BIG...check-out the 5-minute daily chart...might continue.
  • champ: $BIG...HOD and 10,000 shares, could get you $10,000 $$$.
  • bill52: @champ $BIG could be a good possibility with the high short interest and ER that was less bad than expected. shorts are really taking it in the shorts (at least for today). long spec position.
  • champ: @bill52 $BIG ...at $6.25, up 19% and Now with their new $UBER partner making some of their onLine deliveries....it is hard to know where this is going. .....However I'm still holding.
  • champ: $BIG...like I said 10,000 shares, would get you $10,000 $$$ in Profits, however it worked out to be even better than that, turn-out to be $11,100 $$$ in profits today...in just this one little Retailer. #Timing-matters, follow the #forum posts.
  • champ: I'm swinging these 11 positions that I just re-caped below.......$BOOT $LULU $GPS $BIG $OLLI $SN $CZR $PENN $GTLS $CMC and $KMI....and I took profits on all of my other tech trades during the week....and also on $TSLA.
  • champ: $BIG...fell back to $4.95....might work for a low risk entry.
  • champ: Had a turn in $CRM.....and also had a turn in $BIG....they might continue.......
  • Zimzala: @champ $BIG Thanks for the alert. Easy to work with size and working the stops.
  • champ: @Zimzala $BIG....I posted yesterday that I #wasn't going to swing and this is exactly why, for me...I like to let these earning movers fall back and then try to take positions.....$BIG $ASO $CRM....but only on the ones that qualify after they report...and I expect some zig-zags, after entry but the zags can't be too large .....Good Luck!
  • champ: $BIG...is on a strong #Pre-earnings move, up over 12% and they will be reporting earnings in the morning. The latest News is, they have a new partnership with $UBER.
  • bill52: @champ $BIG $UBER #Pre-earnings $BIG has very large short interest of 29%. if they do surprise with a positive ER and guidance, this has potential to really light up. definitely a speculative one for sure, but could be interesting.
  • champ: @bill52 $BIG $UBER #Pre-earnings....Yes but after this nice move, it will be hard to hold into earnings...so I took profits, however will watch.
  • bill52: $BIG continues to march higher. shorts must be sweating this one. some have covered as dropped from 39.5 percent to currently at 37.26 percent short. more to go.... (cleared 50ema and trending north of the 8ema. long spec position $INMD taking profits. will look to re-enter if can break out above this range where its been getting stuck here and failing. or, re-enter on a nice pull back which has been a good trade over the last number of months.
  • bill52: $BIG cleared the 50ema on its close Friday. continues to grind higher today. short interest 39.5 percent.
  • bill52: @DAN $BIG I've been having success trading this. the stock has been completely hammered and is now below the Covid lows. short interest according to Finviz is now at 39.5 percent. volume has picked up a good deal over the last several weeks so this is getting attention. the boat seems pretty heavily tilted in one direction. additionally the retail sales report this past month came out higher than expected so a good tailwind.
  • bill52: $BIG this squeeze candidate continues to show positive momentum. 39.7 percent short interest. looking at the past 2 weeks of trading, volume on green candles much higher than red candles. this does have the 50ema looming above but things still look really interesting with this. as an added tail wind, retail sales number released this morning was a fair bit better than expected. long spec position.
  • bill52: $BIG possible short squeeze candidate. 39.7 percent short. had a nice pop on 6/6 and drifted back last 4 days, but back again today with nice price move on strong volume. long small spec position to see if the momentum gets rolling. no guarantees but could be interesting.
  • kenb: @bill52 $BIG agreed. It's approaching the 50d EMA from below, and I'd like to see how it reacts when it gets to that level. If shorts are covering, then it should blast through.
  • efrain007: $BIG Down 20% on earnings, 38% short and low float might work for 59min
  • natural: $BIG bouncing, big (30%%2B) short interest.
  • woodman: @vcondry $COST $BJ - The "discount stores" are down today, some quite a bit. $BJ $COST $BIG $DG
  • stairm01: $BIG $DG $KR All report earnings before the open tomorrow.
  • champ: @stairm01 $BIG $DG $KR....these are different types of Retailers....and they will be pointing out the over all Retail sales for Investors....and I'm also currently watching these....NP's.
  • champ: $ULTA...HOD...and $OLLI $DKS $BIG $HIBB
  • woodman: @champ $ULTA $OLLI $DKS $BIG $HIBB - I was looking at ULTA too. Nice mover. Earnings 12/1 bmo. I'm sitll in $ELF which continues to work as well.
  • champ: @woodman $ULTA $OLLI $DKS $BIG $HIBB .......Yes $ELF is a great stock for the Holiday Sales Season.
  • champ: $OLLI $BIG....both of these Retailers/stocks, as of Now.....are on #Pre-earnings moves....Check these Out...because they might continue....... .....and it took me a few times... before I caught the right type of entry, that I liked, that held-up....... ~$BIG...and my Entry #guess was at $17.43..... ~$OLLI...and my Entry guess, was at $53.11..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  • champ: Check these retailers out....$BIG and $OLLI are both HOD.....
  • champ: $BIG ....$17.25....they will be having a huge #Sale-on-Black-Friday....check out all of their Products on their Website.
  • champ: $OLLI $BIG....new positions...and I'm back-in both.
  • champ: @MongosPawn $OLLI at $53.00....$BIG at $17.90...is another #Bounce-Candidate, for another down-the-road move ....could also check-out their Business Summary....however I also like $OLLI....and both are more or less in the same type of business.
