WOO trade ideas
Foot Locker shows early signs of momentum ahead of dividendShoe store company Foot Locker trades at an attractive forward P/E of 7.73, with a dividend yield of 4%. Analysts expect the company to grow its earnings over the next 2 years. The stock's been a little sluggish lately, but it's starting to show signs of momentum ahead of its January 17 ex-dividend date. Now may be the time to buy the stock to capture the dividend.
Foot Locker an undervalued stock with earnings growthFoot Locker's earnings outlook has been improving in the last six months. Analysts have gone from expecting earnings to decline year-over-year to now expecting substantial earnings growth in 2020 and 2021. That means that Foot Locker's low valuation, with a P/E of just 8.3, should start to head back north toward the 10-20 range. Unless the earnings outlook turns negative again, I think FL's share price should hit $55 in the next year or two. Plus, with a 4% dividend, you get a nice yield on your investment.
Foot Locker LongPrice nicely broke to the upside of what it appears to be an ascending triangle,
Goo opportunity for longs .
Those formations - ascending triangles - are bullish with the uptrend reaching the length of the base of the triangle that the price broke out from .
Surprisingly in this occasion that 's the length required to fill the gap looking left after that huge sell off .
Volume Dried Up & A DogI have been saying this is going down all week and have been incorrect even as there have been higher prices on lower volume. Today for first two hours of trading there was absolutely no volume. Opened up the following
SEP 13 $38 PUT @.19 11x
SEP 13 $35 PUT @ .05 3X
At this point if it isnt going down with this set I dont know what to think. I'm also trying to think why anyone would want to own this stock long term. I can not remember either my wife, kids or myself went to a FL.
FL Bearish Pennant Ok first of all no comments on the Van Gogh li,e drawing please.Its late and I’m no,good at graphs.
But I gave no doubt that FL is set up perfectly for bearish pennant with exit price price around 25-28. I will be opening 100 SEP 20 31. If you look at this strike price you will see OI of over 11000 so thinking someone know,something.
In terms of Pennant look at form and also look at massive volume drop off over last few days. Don’t know when will happen but will be before September 20
FL Lower WedsWhen looking at FL set up for a down day Wednesday-just hope it does not gap down
Will open 10 $34 SEP 6 PUT with limit of .65
Looking for drop to of between $29-$31 over next 6 trading days.
Decent divergence for EOD trading and generally leads me to believe will "Catch-Up" in the AM. Also, while not a very clear or perfect Pennant, Pennant shape forming up for move lower
See how it plays out.

FOOTLOCKER LONG INTO EARNINGSWe have here a retailer with a P/E AND P/S that puts the rest of the market to shame. We HAVE to ask ourselves when do the value investors step in? I believe that question will be answered on AUG.23rd on the back of this companies earnings. They lowered expectations and with 60% of their sales coming from Nike and with Nike beating earnings this is a good bet. I see a 17% upside on the back of good earnings. Stop loss at 36, Take profit at 47. Good luck.
Foot Locker got its Ass kicked but might be soon ready to runn
Foot Locker got to feel a beat up and an overal market over reaction for stocks that missed earnings, even if it missed tiny.
The stock dropped more than 30% in two weeks and we are getting close to an open gap at around 32$ with a nice trend line support.
In this enviroment the markets react multiple times stronger than usual, so we still need to be carefull and invest small.
Only my oppinion so make your own research.
May the markets be with you
