Another Fantastic Friday, New Ideas

Friday’s Excellent Performance:

We certainly closed out this past trading week with flair, signaling a good mix of four options ideas in our premarket report on Friday morning. In not-so-atypical fashion, we saw considerable intraday movement in a positive direction, in each and every one of our outlined targets. Every single one of our alerted contract sets produced good opportunities during the session. It was an excellent way to finish off yet another great week for us.

Friday’s winning picks were the FL Weekly $32.50-31 Puts, the DE Weekly $380-385 Calls, the CTLT Weekly $30-35 Calls, and the SPY 05/19 $419-420 Calls, and here were the excellent gain chances they provided for our readers on the day:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Post-Earnings Options Plays

Energizer Holdings, Inc. ENR 

We’ve been seeking out prime bottom play opportunities this week, and to continue that trend, we’ve run across Energizer this morning on the heels of the stock registering a new annual low yesterday.

In conjunction with the fact that Deutsche Bank just upgraded ENR from a Hold to a Buy rating with a price target of $52/share (trading in the $37-range yesterday), along with indicators that the stock is heavily oversold, and we are confident in calling this one a prime bottom play candidate as well.


Fresh Options Plays 

We also have a pair of fresh earnings-related options ideas to pass along this morning. Post-earnings plays are typically our miost successful, and we’ve got a couple of good hunches about the following contracts as we cruise through this midweek. 

FedEx Corp. FDX –  Already in a good spot on the chart for a possible rebound leading into today’s session with a strong double-bottom setup, we’re looking to FDX options as FedEx’s Q4 results yielded a profits and earnings beat. As a result, we’re going to be tracking the FDX Weekly $157.50-60 Calls.

Micron Technology, Inc. MU – We are also looking at MU, which reported in the post-market yesterday as well, posting a beat on Q3 earnings, and bolstered guidance for sales of computer memory chips. Like the above mentioned play, MU is giving off a heavy multi-bottom signal. In this case we are interested in monitoring the MU Weekly $35-36.50 Calls.
