Blue Horseshoe Stocks: BABA Options & More

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd BABA – Options

To kick off this brand new trading week, we are interested in tracking a range of calls in the BABA chain, after shares dipped on the news that co-Founder Jack Ma will be stepping down and handing full control over to the CEO effect next year.

The reactionary selloff may provide us with some solid options trading chances, so we are going to keep an eye on the BABA 10/12 $165 & 167.50 Calls in the days and weeks ahead.

OPKO Health Inc. OPK

Shares of OPK took a bath on Friday, briefly falling below the stock’s 200DMA, and closing well in the red on the day. We’re going to signal our interest in tracking OPK as a bottom-watch play.

The stock is approaching extremely oversold territory, and in the midst of its downturn we observed some Form-4 submissions, with insiders buying up shares on Friday as the bottom fell out.

That suggests a confidence that it may not have much further to fall, so we will want to hang around as OPK searches for a bottom and solid rebound point.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TGT Review & More


Target Corp. TGT

For a fresh set of options ideas yesterday morning, we had signaled the TGT Weekly $87.50-89 Calls for observation after the company recorded its best quarterly figures in a decade.

Despite posting a red candle on the day, the early activity in the stock was sufficient to provide our selected options contracts with the juice to make some respectable intraday rips.

$87.50 Calls – Range: .70-1.50 – Max Gain: 114%
$88 Calls – Range: .55-1.22 – Max Gain: 122%
$88.50 Calls – Range: .43-.95 – Max Gain: 121%
$89 Calls – Range: .14-.40 – Max Gain: 186%

FRESH IDEAS:

We’ll continue to stick with big name earnings plays as long as they’re on the table. Earnings related options trading has become our bread and butter, and for good reason. As TGT proved yesterday, we don’t even need for these stocks to close in the green to give us what we’re looking for- all we need is the right early morning activity.

Today we’ve got a pair of fresh ideas that also just reported earnings. We’re going to be monitoring the Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. BABA Weekly $180-185 Calls, and the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. WSM 09/21 $67.50 & $70 Calls.

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. BABA – Update

After noticing a strong double-bottom setup on the chart, we threw our hat in the ring with BABA yesterday morning by formulating an options idea to track during what we described as an overdue recovery.

The stock did exhibit the first signs of that recovery, thereby producing some nice single-session gain opportunities for ourselves and our readers. Our targeted options were the BABA 05/04 $180-187.50 Calls, and regardless of the strike price chosen within our designated range, notable able intraday profits were there for the taking.

$180 Calls – Range: 3.60-5.10  – Max Gain: 42%
$182.50 Calls – Range: 2.80-3.75 – Max Gain: 34%
$185 Calls – Range: 2.21-3.05 – Max Gain: 38%
$187.50 Calls – Range: 1.74-2.27 – Max Gain: 30%

There is, of course, plenty of time before these contracts expire, so we’ll continue monitor these ideas going forward in the event that BABA stock continues its rebounding ways. Further opportunities may arise and we’ll want to be ready.

Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. TNDM – Update

We also wanted to update everyone on another longer term idea we formulated that has definitely worked out in our favor. We’ve had a number of stocks that we signaled our interest in earlier in 2018 slowly and steadily make monster moves for us, and TNDM is the latest one.

We initially slated this play for observation In mid-January, and after only a slight consolidation at the beginning of February, the stock established support at a low of 2.14, reversed, and began a really impressive bull run that was amplified by a significant degree yesterday. TNDM ran to a new high of 7.22. That works out to a 237% increase here in the early goings of the 2018 calendar year.
