Successful Options Ideas

We formulated four sets of options trading ideas in yesterday morning’s premarket report, and it should come as no surprise to any of our readers apart from the very newest members, that all four ideas were winners. Gains were there for the taking regardless of which play struck people’s fancies.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Ideas, VAPE Recap & More

Fresh Options Ideas

The markets made a notable upturn following yesterday’s Fed meeting from which we learned that it will be proceeding with caution regarding a potential interest rate hike. The floundering world economy as well as trouble with low inflation domestically were cited as reasons behind the reticence. Despite the note of uncertainty, there is nothing ambiguous about the overall market sentiment at present, which is leading us to formulate some bullish ideas on the options-trading front.

SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY)

We’ve enjoyed tons of success trading SPY options in the past when we need a close analog of the markets as a whole, so it stands to reason that we call out a new idea for some SPY Calls this morning. We’re going to be paying attention to the SPY Weekly $204-206 Calls.

Apple, Inc. AAPL

AAPL seemed to enjoy a boost in the wake of the US Government’s dismissal of the federal court case which had embroiled the two in recent weeks. After enjoying a steady increases throughout the session, the stock is currently gapping up in the premarket. Our target range here is going to be AAPL Weekly $107-109 Calls.

Ambarella, Inc. AMBA

We flagged AMBA in yesterday’s watchlist and it too produced a bullish session. In addition to being connected with AAPL being a provider of internal hardware for Apple devices, AMBA received an upgrade from analysts at Morgan Stanley. We’ve got a corresponding options idea for this one as well. For this play, we’re looking to the AMBA Weekly $44-46 Calls.

Lulu Lemon Athletica, Inc. LULU

LULU is gapping this morning on the heels of an earnings beat, so we’re going to want to signal some calls here as well. This is another stock whose options chain has provided us with ammunition for extreme gains in the past. We’ll be monitoring the LULU Weekly $62-65.50 Calls.

With everything gapping up in the premarket, we’ll of course be on the lookout for possible dip-and-rip scenarios prior to the execution of any of these ideas.

Vape Holdings, Inc. VAPE

We can officially add VAPE to the list of cannabis-related stocks that we’ve witnessed making appreciable upswings this week. We added it to yesterday’s morning report as another pot-play to keep an eye on, and we’re immediately rewarded with a solid opportunity for some single-session gains.

VAPE traded in a range from .0106 to .017 on the day, giving traders the chance at profits of up to 60% The move came in conjunction with the announcement of another round of debt restructuring and consolidation (>>View PR).

We’ve added new cannabis candidates to our radar each day this week, and we’ll repeat that again today, pinning CANL and MCOA to our watchlist.

RVUE, WDRP, EARI, GALE, ACAD

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Cleaning Up on Options Trading

Options Winners

We’ve been firing on all cylinders with regard to our short term options ideas recently. Yesterday we offered up some ideas for AAPL and BIIB and in both cases, multi-bag intraday returns were attainable no matter which set of contracts were chosen from our target ranges.

Apple, Inc. AAPL

We went bearish on AAPL for a number of reasons, chief among them being a disappointing earnings release, and negative statements by CEO Tim Cook. We were looking for activity in the range of the AAPL Weekly $97-95.50 Puts provided the stock continued to backslide, and were duly rewarded for the idea.

$97 Puts – Trading Range: 1.58-3.72 – Max Gain: 135%
$96.50 Puts – Trading Range: 1.27-3.27 – Max Gain: 157%
$96 Puts – Trading Range: 1.05-2.85 – Max Gain: 171%
$95.50 Puts – Trading Range: .83-2.45 – Max Gain: 195%
$95 Puts – Trading Range: .65-2.10 – Max Gain: 223%

Biogen, Inc. BIIB

On the other side of the fence, BIIB was gapping up hard in the premarket and we liked the chances of seeing some more upside. We highlighted BIIB Weekly $267.50 through $280 Calls and it worked out in spades.

$267.50 Calls – Trading Range: 6.30-17.50 – Max Gain: 178%
$270 Calls – Trading Range: 4.70-15.30 – Max Gain: 226%
$272.50 Calls – Trading Range: 3.45-12.30 – Max Gain: 257%
$275 Calls – Trading Range: 2.45-10.50 – Max Gain: 329%
$277.50 Calls – Trading Range: 1.74-8.45 – Max Gain: 386%
$280 Calls – Trading Range: .99-7.00 – Max Gain: 607%

Fresh Ideas*

Under Armour, Inc. UA – We’ll go ahead and signal some new options ideas this morning as the opportunity has presented itself in the form of an impressive Under Armour earnings beat. Wildly exceeded expectations are fueling a premarket gap-up, and we’re going to be taking a look at UA Weekly $75-79.50 Calls provided UA holds that $75-mark on any early dips.

Facebook, Inc. FB – FB is also cruising in early trading today on the strength of a well-received earnings release of its own. We’re going to respond by tagging FB Weekly $105-110 Calls for observation as we head into week’s end.

*Pertaining to both of the preceding ideas, remember to always consider the inherent elevating risk associated with trading weekly options contracts as the end of the week approaches!

Extended Watchlist:
NESC, NUOT, RCAP, GNBT, CDII

Speed Commerce, Inc. SPDC

We were just reminding our readers about SPDC yesterday, which we’ve now tracked for three sessions since our premarket report on Friday. We observed a low of .018 that day, and the stock hasn’t looked back since.

After another excellent PPS-enhancing performance on Monday, we suggested our subscribers continue to watch yesterday for the possibility of a protracted uptrend, and what followed was the biggest single-session move yet, and new highs for SPDC.

From an early low of .038, the stock rushed to .057 in the closing minutes. That represented a 50% intraday pop, and an overall three-day increase above our observed low of .018 amounting to 217%

Options Ideas

Rambus, Inc. RMBS – Recap

RMBS was the subject of an options trading idea we submitted yesterday morning, after noticing the stock gapping up in the premarket on a post-market earnings beat from the prior day. We targeted the RMBS 02/19 $12 Calls, and those contracts traded in a range from .37-.59; good for intraday gains of up 59%

Apple, Inc. AAPL

It’s been awhile since we signaled any AAPL options, but we’re presented with an opportunity this morning as the stock is down considerably in early trading on deflated sales forecasts, amongst other things. We’ll look for chances on the bearish side of things, namely the AAPL Weekly $97-95.50 Puts to try to take advantage of the consequences of shaken investor confidence.

Biogen, Inc. BIIB

An impressive beat on revenues and EPS is leading BIIB to a notable gap-up this morning, we’ll definitely want to look for the possibility of a nice intraday upswing from the stock. To ensure we catch the heaviest action we’ll begin by monitoring every set of contracts in the range of BIIB Weekly $267.50 through $280 Calls.

Extended Watchlist:
CDII, LTNC, GNPT, GDSI, TPIV

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: New Options Ideas & More

New Options Ideas

The market, which has been struggling mightily here in the opening weeks of 2016 for numerous reasons, appears to be in line for some measure of a rebound today, based on early trading activity. Q4 earnings season has kicked off, which should result in an increase of options trading opportunities in the days and weeks ahead. In the event this trend holds and progresses, we’re going to want to have a few options contracts ready and waiting in the hopper to watch for swing-trade possibilities.

Shire plc SHPG

SHPG shares are gapping up to the tune of more than 5% in the premarket this morning in the wake of the revelation that Shire would be acquiring US-based Baxalta for a whopping $32B. The deal figures to create the largest rare-disease drugmaker conglomerate in the world.

We like to take advantage of blockbuster reveals such as this, and the trading hysteria they tend to create. For this particular situation, we are going to set our sights on SHPG Weekly $175-180 Calls.

___

Acadia Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ACAD

ACAD has been tumbling down in terms of PPS in recent sessions. The reported possibility of dilution as a result of fundraising via public offering has had investors coming down on the bearish side of the fence. We want to be on the lookout for the possibility of a rebound. If such a move occurs we’re going to have the ACAD 02/19 $29 Calls and 03/18 $30 Calls on our radars moving forward.

Alcoa, Inc. AA – Possible Recovery Play

AA is striking us as a stock whose time for a rebound may be fast approaching. We want to signal this as a potential bottom-play. The strength index is heading into heavily oversold territory, and a triple-bottom setup suggests AA could be nearing basement-level prices.

We’re going to add this to our current list of bottom-watch plays, which also includes KOOL, MGI, GNBT, and MAXD.

Extended Watchlist:
HCTI, IMTV, BLTA, AAPL
