The traders highlighted a number of options trading opportunites.

-
HD
Home Depot Inc - $24.57
- -2.73%
- $24.87
However, I see real optimism in both Home Depot (HD) and Lowe’s (LOW), Najarian adds. There’s very strong call buying in Home Depot. And I’ve noticed positive institutional buying in Lowe’s

-
LOW
Lowes Companies - $22.13
- -3.61%
- $22.34
However, I see real optimism in both Home Depot (HD) and Lowe’s (LOW), Najarian adds. There’s very strong call buying in Home Depot. And I’ve noticed positive institutional buying in Lowe’s

-
JCP
Penney J C Co Hol - $21.50
- -3.59%
- $21.96
The retailer I don’t like is JC Penney (JCP), he adds, I see put buying that appears to be negative.

-
WMT
Wal Mart Stores - $55.54
- -0.86%
- $55.49
I like Wal-Mart, says Jon Najarian on Fast Money. And the large volume of call buying in this stock would make most investors feel positive. But I don’t think now is the time to buy. The recent upside mainly comes from interest in their dividened (not from stronger-than-anticipated sales.)

-
USO
U.s. Oil Fund Et - $33.27
- -10.68%
- $36.71
I think we could go to $110, says Joe Terranova. Friday is the options expiration for the September contract. The open interest in puts at the $110 strike is above 25,000 and building.

-
GLD
Spdr Gold Shares - $82.75
- -2.80%
- $84.56
I wouldn’t get into gold without protection, says Jon Najarian. Look at an option trade on the GLD, calls if you’re bullish and puts if you’re bearish.

-
CSX
C S X Cp - $34.75
- -5.29%
- $35.86
Keep an eye on CSX Corp (CSX) and Union Pacific (UNP) Najarian counsels. The put buying appears bearish. I think they’re breaking down. As the commodity trade unravelsit could take the rails lower.

-
UNP
Union Pacific - $49.76
- -7.87%
- $53.41
Keep an eye on CSX Corp (CSX) and Union Pacific (UNP) Najarian counsels. The put buying appears bearish. I think they’re breaking down. As the commodity trade unravelsit could take the rails lower.
