Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Form-4 Plays & More

SPDRA S&P 500 ETF (SPY) – Recap

Our first order of business this morning is to share the performance of the options we alerted on in Friday morning’s report. Those targets were the SPY Weekly $290-291.50 Calls, and they produced some very nice single session gain opportunities for ourselves and our readers.

We have typically been very good playing the SPY in the past, and this time was no different, The gains that were on the table were as follows:

$290 Calls – Range: .34-1.04 – Max Gain: 206%
$290.50 Calls – Range: .12-.58 – Max Gain: 383%
$291 Calls – Range: .20-.46 – Max Gain: 130%
$291.50 Calls – Range: .08-.19 – Max Gain: 138%

Francesca Holdings Corp. FRAN
& Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. FOLD

This morning we noticed that FRAN is exhibiting a number of traits that we normally keep a lookout for. The stock is coming off of a bottom with a large gap on the chart, and on Friday, the CEO filed a Form-4 for the purchase of 10,000 shares near the stock’s lows.

This is often a sign of high internal confidence in the stock’s ability to rebound, so we’re going to place FRAN on recovery watch in the days and weeks ahead.

FOLD is another play which also currently boasts a bottom setup, with a significant amount of insider buying taking place on Thursday at its lows. We’ll definitely want to keep this one on watch as well.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Big Gains Keep Coming!

Tilray, Inc. TLRY

We’re still tracking our idea from Tuesday morning‘s premarket report, the TLRY 09/21 $91-93 Calls. While we generally have stayed clear of most IPO’s in their very early stages in the past, Tilray was just too attractive not to dabble in, and the results have been fantastic thus far.

We’ve been looking at multi-bag gains for all three of the contracts in our observed range, and the stock itself has risen by a considerable margin this week. On Tuesday when we first alerted on it, it traded for as little 87.50, and yesterday reached a high of 127.27, a very impressive three-day swing of 45%

Here are the updated ranges on the options contracts we signaled for observation:

$91 Calls – Range: 6.43-27.50 – Max Gain: 328%
$92 Calls – Range: 5.51-27.80 – Max Gain: 405%
$93 Calls – Range: 5.23-23.70 – Max Gain: 353%

Nio, Inc. NIO – Speaking of IPO’s, NIO, which debuted yesterday, made a lot of noise in just a single day on the market. We like the space it operates in- the company produces electric cars, and alternative energy will continue to become a more and more attractive sector as the fossil fuel age continues its slow but inevitable wind-down.

No options yet exist for NIO, so we’re just going to place it on watch as a solid looking, low-priced IPO, and may perhaps return sometime for options down the line, once its chain has been properly established.

The Kroger Co. KR – Update

Another set of options ideas that we presented in yesterday’s report was the KR Weekly $31-29 Puts. Going bearish on options isn’t typical for us but when an opportunity presents itself, we’ll take it, and this was a good one.

All five of our designated contracts produced notable intraday gain opportunities:

$31 Puts – Range: 2.02-2.53 – Max Gain: 25%
$30.50 Puts – Range: 1.39-2.05 – Max Gain: 47%
$30 Puts – Range: 1.04-1.57 – Max Gain: 51%
$29.50 Puts – Range: .71-1.06 – Max Gain: 49%
$29 Puts – Range: .30-.64 – Max Gain: 113%

G-III Apparel Group Ltd. GIII

Among our fresh ideas for yesterday’s premarket report was GIII, in whose options chain we signaled a pair of contracts for observation shortly after the company’s quarterly report was issued. Those were the GIII 09/21 $45 & 50 Calls, and despite a very up-and-down session for the stock itself, opportunities for intraday profits were on the table early on in the session.

The $45 Calls traded up from a low of 2.67, to as much as 6.00, representing an upswing of 125%, while the $50 Calls ran from 1.03-2.49 for a 142% pop.

These could still see further action down the line. still being two full weeks from expiration, with the current bearish attitude of the market being only a temporary hurdle.

Fresh Options Idea:

Speaking of bearish attitudes, that’s going to be our take on some SPY Calls this morning to finish out this short week. We’re going to look for a break below $287, and place the SPY Weekly $288-287 Puts**

**Please do not trade weekly options on a Friday unless you are an advanced level trader with disposable funds!

Galectin Therapeutics, Inc. GALT

About a week ago, we signaled GALT for observation, a stock we’ve had quite a bit of experience tracking in the past. It had been in a bearish downslide for the better part of two months, and had just begun to rebound.

We wanted to come back around for an update on the move GALT has made since that time. After seeing a low of 4.06, the stock has traversed its way back to a high of 6.53. That marks a respectable upswing of 61% and puts us on alert for the possibility of more moves.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. HPE

There hasn’t been a day in quite some time when we we’ve offered options trading ideas to our readers and didn’t come out successful. Yesterday was definitely no exception. Our premarket report contained a flag of the HPE Weekly $16.50 & $17 Calls.

In both cases, double bag gains or better could have been achieved, with the $16.50’s making a perfect double as they ran from .55-1.10, and the $17’s pushing the envelope a bit more, rising 186% from .21-.60.

SPDRA S&P 500 ETF (SPY) – Options Idea

With the markets appearing to be in line for another solid push, we’re going to confine our fresh idea this morning to the SPY. We have traditionally had much success with trading options in this particular fund.

Today we’re going to be looking at the SPY Weekly $290-291.50 Calls, to watch into the end of the week.
