Burlington Stores, Inc. BURL – Options Update

We reported our interest in tracking some BURL options in the wake of a strong earnings report yesterday morning, and signaled the BURL 03/17 $85-95 Calls. Just as we suspected, the boost of momentum from that earnings beat provided the fuel for those contracts to put up some impressive performances on the day.

The possible gains so far, which could be augmented today with another bullish move, were as follows:

$85 Calls – Range: 5.60-10.00 – Max Gain: 79%
$90 Calls – Range: 2.50-5.20 – Max Gain: 1084%
$95 Calls – Range: .71-1.93 – Max Gain: 172%

InterCloud Systems, Inc. ICLD

We also want to continue keeping an eye on ICLD, in which volume has been exploding over the past couple sessions as the stock has rebounded off of its 52-week lows.

The stock traded in a relatively modest range from .0157 to .02 (+27%) yesterday, but closed with strength. Especially with the enormous flow of volume at the present time, we’re definitely interested in tracking ICLD’s movements over the next several sessions.

Fresh Options Ideas:

Big Lots, Inc. BIG –  Big Lots had a mixed bag earnings report today, missing estimates on sales, but beating on profits. Still, it appears as if BIG could be gearing up for a decent run, so we’re going to highlight a range of options to track- the BIG 03/17 $52.50-57.50 Calls.

Caterpillar, Inc. CAT – On a bearish note, things got ugly for Caterpillar yesterday as multiple federal agencies participated in a massive raid of its offices in relation to a years-long IRS investigation into a billion dollar tax discrepancy. CAT stock took a massive gut punch, and could continue to see hardship as more details of the investigation and possible consequences become available. We’ll be tracking the CAT 04/07 $88-85 Puts, which could fare extremely well if it comes down to fill a gap on its chart which we’ve pointed out below.

Tiffany & Co. TIF – Options Recap

Today we’d like to swing back to an idea that we submitted in our report on Tuesday morning, which turned out to be the hottest intraweek runner we’ve had in awhile. We signaled our interest in tracking the TIF Weekly $80-83 Calls, and not only did every set of contracts in that range produce multi-bag gains, a couple of them turned out to be 30-BAGGERS!

To put a 30X run into perspective, a initial $250 position would, at its peak, have risen to a cool $7500 in just a couple days! Also note that we were unable to bring up the chart for the $81 Calls, but those undoubtedly made similar moves as the rest, which performed as follows:

$80 Calls – Range: .86-4.70 – Max Gain: 446%
$80.50 Calls – Range: .70-4.35 – Max Gain: 521%
$81.50 Calls – Range: .34-3.00 – Max Gain: 782%
$82 Calls – Range: .09-2.80 – Max Gain: 3011%
$82.50 Calls – Range: .15-2.40 – Max Gain: 1500%
$83 Calls – Range: .08-2.60 – Max Gain: 3150%

We were mentioning how much we love post-earnings options trading, and this week TIF served as a prime example of the reasoning behind that.

ULTA Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc. ULTA – Fresh Idea

We also have another earnings-related options idea to monitor today. ULTA posted solid figures today sufficient to fuel a premarket push, and we want to be waiting with an idea to correspond with a possible bullish trend continuing through the session. That’ll be the ULTA Weekly $267.50-272.50 Calls, but please remember, trading weekly options on a Friday is only for the most advanced traders!

Bonus Idea: Big Lots, Inc. BIG Weekly $47.50-52.50 Calls

Agora Holdings, Inc. AGHI

We were outlining AGHI’s search for a bottom in yesterday’s morning report, and in addition to finding some support on the chart as we hoped it would, we’d like to point out a PR published by the company this morning.

It goes into greater detail with respect to the company’s ‘FRAME’ social media management platform, which it plans to offer free to the public for non-commercial use.

TORONTO, ON–(Marketwired – Dec 2, 2016) –  Agora Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK: AGHI) today issues insight into the various applications of its recently launched FRAME technology, and describes how the platform can simplify and streamline personal branding for individual or business use.
For many social media users — be it corporate brand, small business, celebrity, executives and even presidential candidates — social media has become a method of personal branding. For this reason, it is vitally important to establish and maintain a positive online image.

“The boundary between online and offline branding is disappearing, and FRAME is here to help everyone navigate this new hybrid universe. FRAME is designed to meet the needs of consumers and businesses who use multiple social media websites and platforms on a daily basis by providing a dashboard from which they are all accessible,” says Agora CEO Dan Terziev.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Roundup

Dollar Tree, Inc. DLTR – Options Update

Yesterday, apart from highlighting the many winning options plays that came out of Wednesday morning’s premarket report, we also brought up a new idea for the DLTR options chain. We signaled the DLTR Weekly $85 Calls.

Those $85 Calls were big movers, trading in a range from 1.90-4.66 on the day. That represented an intraday pop of 145% so cheers to any of those who may have taken advantage of that healthy run.

Big Lots, Inc. BIG

We’re looking to BIG this morning on the heels of an earnings beat and cash dividend annoucment. The stock is gapping considerably above the $50-level to new annual highs. We’re going to be looking at the BIG Weekly $47.50-52.50 Calls* for possible quick-hit trades today.

*Caution: We always like to remind our readers that trading options contracts with a weekly expiration on Friday is an inherently risky proposition. Please do not attempt to do so if you are not an advanced-level trader.

Relypsa, Inc. RLYP

We’re coming across RLYP at an interesting time today. The stock is gapping up this morning, oddly enough, on news that hit for a rival.The FDA refused approval to pharma giant AstraZeneca for its potassium-lowering drug, effectively leaving RLYP’s competing drug as the lone option in the marketplace.

We’ve formulated an options idea for this play as well. With no weeklies available, we’re going to be monitoring contracts within the range of the RLYP 06/03 $20-25 Calls.
