JWN Protective Options Strategy

Fashion retailer Nordstrom sells brand name clothing, shoes, beauty, home goods, etc in 94 large department stores as well as 240 Nordstrom Rack outlets. It also makes ~50% sales online, via their official websites as well as flash-sales from HauteLook and curator services through Trunk Club.

Technically minded investors may see some opportunity in the chart (bottoming, consolidation into a falling wedge) along with optimism in the general stock market with the Fed's lower rate hike this week. The RSI has also been consistently chopping in the almost-oversold region, possibly indicating upward momentum. However, Nordstrom's weak holiday sales earnings may also cause some hesitation -- this opportunity is not without risks.

With this bullish options strategy, you can capture up to 21% (22% annualized) of the potential gain with downside protection of 34% -- start to lose only if JWN falls below $12.43 as of 1/19/24
