Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPY Explodes

SPDR S&P500 (ETF) SPY – Options Update

We have got a very brief update for today’s newsletter concerning our fresh options trading idea from yesterday morning in the SPY Chain. We cautioned readers that after Friday’s market sell-off, we looked to be in line for a ‘dead-cat bounce’ for stocks, and that is exactly what occurred.

Our idea was to track the SPY Weekly $287-288.50 Calls as the markets reversed, and not only did we get the rebound we were after, but the gains persisted throughout the entirety of the session.

That made for some truly spectacular profit possibilities, especially the $288 Calls, which produced an epic intraday upswing:

SPY Weekly $287-288.50 Calls
$287 Calls – Range: .17-1.35 – Max Gain: 694%
$287.50 Calls – Range: .05-.91 – Max Gain: 1720%
$288 Calls – Range: .01-.43 – Max Gain: 4200%
$288.50 Calls – Range: .01-.07 – Max Gain: 600%

Updated Idea:

SPY 08/28 $288.50-290.50 Calls through today and into tomorrow.

Extended Watchlist:
USLV, PZZA, TNXP, JNJ, PIR, OSTK

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Plenty of Options

Dicks Sporting Goods, Inc. DKS – Options Recap

We kept the options train rolling yesterday morning, with a fresh quick-strike idea for the DKS chain. Our targets of interest were the DKS Weekly $34.50-36 Calls and we got some very respectable moves out of each of those four sets of contracts.

The company posted solid quarterly figures, even as the sports superstores continued to curtail hunting/gun departments in more than 120 of its stores. That allowed for 3 out of the four contracts to post multi-bag gains, with the fourth not far behind.

Here are your total possible intraday profits which could have been realized during yesterday’s session:

DKS Weekly $34.50-36 Calls
$107 Calls – Range: .65-1.15 – Max Gain: 77%
$108 Calls – Range: .43-.94 – Max Gain: 119%
$109 Calls – Range: .28-.95 – Max Gain: 239%
$110 Calls – Range: .20-.45 – Max Gain: 125%

Pier 1 Imports, Inc. PIR – Bottom Bouncer

We are catching PIR as it has just begun to come up off of its recently registered annual lows. We want to radar the stock here as it builds some momentum.

From current pricing, it would not be crazy to think that this retail stock may be capable of doubling as we approach retail season.
