Watching Fossil
The overnight session has quickly faded into memory. This has developed into one of the more boring sessions recently. I'd take the saying "Don't short a boring market" to heart right now.

The estimates are tough given FOSL's international presence, and once we add on the 7% short interest this could get interesting tomorrow. Options are pricing in a big move, although FOSL needs to crack $120 on the downside or $137.50 on the upside. The downside is more troubling under $120 as the stock could find $102.50 after a short pause around $115. The upside target is just below $150 if FOSL gets past $138.

I expect the upside to have tougher sledding, so if I were bullish, I would look to play a 2x3x1 May $125-$135-$140 call combination.
