Bottom-Watch Signal & More

The Cato Corp. CATO

With the coronavirus pandemic still raging, we’ve been forced to move away from our traditional technical-based trading methods and become more opportunistic. In the case of CATO, however, we have an interesting opportunity with the stock being pressed down to its lowest prices in over a decade, just yesterday.

We are always looking for stocks that are searching out new lows, and will observe carefully in the days and weeks ahead as CATO establishes its own bottom. The company announced at the beginning of last month that would reopen most of its stores.


ABM Industries Inc. ABM 

In yesterday’s premarket report, we signaled a pair of contract sets to put on watch in the ABM chain, and we did see some solid movement in those on the day. They were the ABM Weekly $30 & 35 Calls and both made notable increases, with an especially impressive performance coming from the $35’s.

ABM Weekly $30-35 Calls
$30: 5.00-8.60 (+72%)
$35: 1.11-4.00 (+260%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: DAL Options Win & More

Delta Air Lines, Inc. DAL 

Things played out precisely as we expected with Delta yesterday. We specifically mentioned that DAL “has traditionally been one of those companies we can count on to provide good post-earnings opportunities”, and after a solid beat across the board, our ideas definitely paid off instantly.

Our targets, the DAL Weekly $57-58 Calls, went into overdrive as the stock itself executed a textbook dip-and-rip pattern, and provided us with the excellent chances for gains that we were after.

$57 Calls – Range: .24-2.13 – Max Gain: 787%
$57.50 Calls – Range: .14-1.70 – Max Gain: 1114%
$58 Calls – Range: .06-1.25 – Max Gain: 1983%


Eastman Kodak Co. KODK

We also wanted to update the options ideas we had for KODK on Wednesday. The company saw a surge after announcing its own unique crypto-coin, but we weren’t buying it. We signaled the KODK 02/16 $15 & $12.50 Puts.

While the gains weren’t monumental, they were solid enough, as KODK has since posted two consecutive sessions of freefall. The $15 Puts traded from 6.10-7.90 for a 30% rise, while the $12.50 Puts ran from 4.20 to 5.70, a gain of 36%
