SLQT’s Impressive Run Persists & More

SLQT Stock & Options Update:

Just over two weeks ago, in our report from the morning of August 31st, we caught SLQT after a director filed a Form-4 and soaked up shares at at relative bottom. Combined with the right chart setup, that’s the sort of scenario that we’ll always take a chance on, and it paid off for us.

SLQT has been making steady strides toward a recovery nearly every day since then, and our designated options targets, the SLQT 09/17 $7.50-10 Calls, which expire on Friday, have continued their rise. The stock itself has produced a solid move on the chart from a low of 9.19 on the morning of our original alert, to a new high of 14.03 yesterday. That works out to an upswing of 53% in just two weeks’ time.

As far as our highlighted options plays, we’ve already provided multiple updates, and today’s is quite impressive, with the $10’s in particular edging closer and closer to that coveted thousand percent gainer designation.

Here are the current figures on the total moves these contract sets have posted since the 31st:

SLQT 09/17 $7.50-10 Calls
$7.50: 1.80-6.50 (+261%)
$10: .40-3.90 (+875%)

Fresh Options Ideas:

SPY Yields Thousand Percent Gainers & More

SPY Calls Roll:

Up until yesterday morning, it had actually been quite some time since we had last formulated a daily trading idea for the SPY, which historically has been one of our most common targets. Despite an up-and-down session for the markets, we did observe some very nice gain opportunities in our targeted contracts.

We were looking at the SPY 09/13 $446-448 Calls due to a relative dry spell of earnings reporters that will persist for the next several weeks. It turned out to be a solid choice, with our designated range yielding three out of three multi-baggers, including two sets that ran well over a thousand percent!

Here are the total moves and possible profits provided by our selections on the day:

SPY 09/13 $446-448 Calls*
$446: .05-.99 (+1880%)
$447: .01-.16 (+1500%)
$448: .17-.44 (+159%)

We’ll stick with the same SPY targets but for tomorrow’s expiration, following better than expected Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures dropped this morning.

Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 09/15 $446-448 Calls
ORCL Weekly $87-85.50 Puts
B 10/15 $35-45 Calls
