LULU is showing bearish signals on rsi, volume ema and price action the past four days, plus it sure looks like a variation of a shrunken head and shoulders, lol. With that said, it's all going to come down to the fundamentals in the end. If there's anything short of a +$ earnings surprise, expect LULU to tank post market tomorrow. If, on the other hand, LULU pulls out stellar earnings, the share price could pop. Because I don't know what the earnings are going to be, I'm taking a bearish perspective with caution. End result range is between $340 - 400, which is quite an unhelpful spread to forecast LULU 12/11 price action, so a low risk 4-option strategy could be best. What I have in mind is buy $370 straddle 12/18 (put = $1875, call = $1300, total = $31.75) and sell a $350-390 straddle 12/11 (put = -$7.95, call = -$4.85, total credit = -$12.80). One case scenario, LULU closes below $350 or above $390 on 12/11 and you receive a 2k credit, and because the original trade cost you $1895, you make $105 profit per contract (not a great gain, but no loss). Another scenario is LULU misses passing $350 on the down side or $390 on the up side on 12/11 and you've positioned yourself for all the price action next week by getting a straddle for -$1280 discount. And finally, the more likely scenario is you can liquidate the calendar spread 4-option strategy at any point in pieces as the price action permits. Do your own due diligence, your risk is 100% your responsibility. You win some or you learn some. Consider being charitable with some of your profit to help humankind. Small incremental steps work : If you double a penny for a month it = $5,368,709. Good luck and happy trading friends...
