## Resource

OptionsPlay's Tony Zhang talks about why stocks are mixed to close out a holiday-shortened trading week. He offers two bullish cases in different corners of the consumer space through Mastercard (MA) and eBay Inc. (EBAY) while walking investors through example options trades in both. On Mastercard, he cites the company’s strong business fundamentals, adding that eBay is quietly firing on all cylinders. ======== Schwab Network ======== Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.
