Portfolio Update: Your KSS Puts Got a Boost

Kohl’s Corporation (NYSE: KSS) recently delivered earnings per share that were a few cents above expectations. However, the company missed sales forecasts, and the stock traded down — which is great news for us!

This decline boosted our put position on KSS. It now shows a double-digit gain, but we’ll let this position ride the stock’s price drop for a bigger profit, so stay tuned for a signal to sell in the coming weeks.

As you may recall, our limit order to sell half of our position for a 50% gain on KSS — as well as Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN) — triggered last Wednesday. If you haven’t done so already, be sure to take some of these gains off the table now.

Today, I also share the chart action and my expectations for JWN, which will report earnings later this week.

Then, I update you on Mylan N.V. (Nasdaq: MYL)Plexus Corp. (Nasdaq: PLXS) and Agilysys (Nasdaq: AGYS). That’s all in this week’s six-minute webinar:
