one, two -- >> ty carter, now staff sergeant ty carter, is back from afghanistan.s assigned to joint base lewis mcchord, outside tacoma, washington. carter will soon receive the medal of honor for his heroism during a crushing taliban attack. i think a lot of people out there probably think medals of honor go to people who were raised in middle america, two parent homes, who were clearly on a path to valor. it doesn't always work that way. >> ty, like every soldier, he's a complex character. i think he looks more like what an average soldier that you meet in any unit on any given day, what he looks like. and a lot of those kids, given the same position and the same -- with the same choices, may have done the same things that sergeant carter did. but certainly he was one of those people that had that capability, that sense. and when the time was there, he did what he needed to do. this is nala. >> this is your dog? >> this is my dog. >> today, carter lives in this bucolic home, not far from the base. >> these are brand new additions to the carter estate. they are la

this tale starts with carter worth, a childhood friend of mike's. carter wasn't too hot on j.c.es. >> it looks like it's getting much worse. >> reporter: that gave mike the idea to go short. when his friends explained shorting j.c. penney could mean infinite losses he changed his mind. specifically, he sold the september 13th strike calm for $1.35 credit. to keep all that money he needs to see j.c. penney shares to stay below that $13 strike price. above $13, profits will trail off. mike won't see losses until j.c. penney rises above that call strike price by more than $1.35 he took in or $14.35 by september expiration. but that nagging problem was back. because if shares rise above $14.35, mike would still be on the hook for infinite losses as partner carter worth even threatened to leave the trade. >> i'm pretty sure that's when he hit rock bottom. >> so mike decided to do something about it. he decided to buy a higher strike call, specifically mike bought the september 14th strike call for 95 cents and made the trade into a bear call spread. and that's when he rose from simpl

. >> carter brackston, and carter in today's session, this is at least a 12-year low here in jcp. >> that's right. it's quite poor. actually, it speaks to the wisdom of price. let's say this didn't have jcp on top and it was just any chart. the chart tells you something's wrong with the business. and in fact, it's been going down for two years, as the stock market's going up. it's tracking the trend line beautifully, fails every time it gets there. now hovering at these lows right at 12, take a look at the long-term charts. the 12 level is not random. it is exactly the lows of '09, of about two years ago, and we think this breaks sharply. the short interest is huge. so what. it looks like it's getting much worse. >> huge, 18% huge. >> fundamentally, if you drew a graph of the revenues of this business, since 2007, it would look almost exactly like the price chart graph you just saw. now, i strongly believe that this company actually needs to change its business model. as dan was pointing out, an effort to salvage a balance sheet more than anything else. it is still sinking. that's th

so before we get mike's next move, carter got us in, so we go back to carter and see if you still like in the sense we think the road map for the stock is much, much higher like amazon and instant gratification is good as well so day to day and hour to hour we would capture the gains. >> capture the gains. would you capture the gains? >> you know, one of the reasons we actually got gains like in in a relatively short period of time is because of the news that came out on the stock this past week. it went right to the strike which is exactly where we want it. in an ideal world we can sit here and look to collect the premium over puts that exceed december expiration. i'm inclined to go with carter saying we had a nice gain, it worked out. let's take our profits and run. >> what would you do, dan? >> i'm kind of with carter. i think the story will continue to go. you may have a little exhaustion on the buy side. 25% short interest. a lot of good news. i think you want to see it fill in the gap. maybe towards 130 that would be a great re-entry point. >> scott, would you be tempted to put o
