The stock hit its 52-Week high of $46.36 in September of 2008 and set its 52-Week low of $16.91 in November. GME is trading lower today after the company announced it earned 0.23 per share in the second quarter, a nickel below expected results. Also, GME lowered its full-year forecast, blaming an industry-wide slowdown. Technical indicators for the stock are bullish and S&P gives GME a positive 5 STARS (out of 5) strong buy ranking. If you are looking for a hedged play on GME the stock seems like it could be a candidate for an October out-of-the-money bear-call credit spread above the 28 range.
