Options Movers & More

‘
AnaptysBio Inc. ANAB – Update

We want to backtrack to the options idea we offered up to our readers on Monday morning. We focused on longer-term targets, but the results have already begun to show after what has been a solid week of gains for the stock itself. .

Our contracts of interest are the ANAB 01/17 $10-15 Calls. So far, we’ve seen significant upward movement in the $10’s and $12.50’s, and if current trends continue, we expect the $15’s to join the party soon enough.

Here are the total possible gains from our ideas so far:

$10 Calls – Range: 1.50-2.20 – Max Gain: 47%
$12.50 Calls – Range: .60-.90 – Max Gain: 50%

The stock is still incredibly oversold and undervalued, so we’d be very surprised if we didn’t see more of its massive topside gap filled in the days and weeks ahead. Stay tuned for further updates on this one.

McDonalds Corp. MCD – Update 

MdDonalds is another chain in which we recently put some longer-term contracts on watch. On Thursday of last week, we highlighted the MCD 01/17 $195-220 Calls 
and those have started to gain some ground as well, despite a choppy week for stocks in general.

Here are the moves we’ve observed in these plays over the past trading week:

$195 Calls – Range: 3.65-4.80 – Max Gain: 32%
$200 Calls – Range: 1.97-2.71 – Max Gain: 38%
$210 Calls – Range: .47-.69 – Max Gain: 47%
$220 Calls – Range: .12-.22 – Max Gain: 83%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Big Winners from Friday

Big Winners from Last Week
–
Due to the sheer number of winning plays to report on from Friday’s newsletter, we will give only a brief summary including the name of the company, the ideas we submitted, and the total possible gains they had provided by the end of the week.

Nearly everything we’ve had our hands in recently has made some type of the move to the upside, continuing a very promising trend that we have established in the first months of 2019.

AstraZeneca plc AZN –We cited some contracts here earlier in the week (Weekly $39-39.50 Calls), as well as updated that idea on Friday with a couple of new targets at higher strike prices (Weekly $40-40.50 Calls). All contracts involved saw significant moves/new highs.

Electronic Arts, Inc. EA – We had the EA Weekly $107-109 Calls in Friday’s report as a fresh idea, and all three of those plays could have worked out nicely for traders. We saw double bag gain opportunities across the board in this case.$107 Calls – Range: .78-1.60 – Max Gain: 102%

$108 Calls – Range: .50-1.13 – Max Gain: 126%
$109 Calls – Range: .33-.66 – Max Gain: 100%

Canopy Growth Corp. CGC – We’ve been watching Canopy since well before the stock uplisted to the NYSE from the OTC, and while what was supposed to be a Canadian cannabis boom has been much more subdued than anticipated, we still like to keep tabs on this one and use its activity to our advantage wherever possible. On Friday we targeted the CGC Weekly $46.50-48 Calls and were met with multi-bag intraday gains there as well.
$39.50 Calls – Range: .83-2.01 – Max Gain: 142%
$40 Calls – Range: .62-1.60 – Max Gain: 158%
$40.50 Calls – Range: .43-1.20 – Max Gain: 179%
$40 Calls – Range: .31-.90 – Max Gain: 190%

SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY) – Last but not least, we had an idea for the SPY options chain, as we very often do, and all of those contracts provided us with big profit chances as they very often do! All five targets in the range of our SPY Weekly $274.50-276 Calls made big moves.
$274.50 Calls – Range: .85-2.92 – Max Gain: 244%
$275 Calls – Range: 1.26-2.62 – Max Gain: 108%
$275.50 Calls – Range: .86-2.61 – Max Gain: 203%

Walmart, Inc. WMT – Fresh Options Idea
Today we want to keep things rolling with a new idea to kick the week off on, and that is going to be WMT Weekly $101-104 Calls. The stock broke a double-top area of resistance on Friday, and this morning, an across-the-board earnings beat should help create some nice activity in our designated range.
