Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Big Week for Options

Morgan Stanley MS – Recap

Earlier in the week we highlighted a pair of options calls in the Morgan Stanley chain following the company’s Q3 earnings report on Tuesday, in which it reported a solid beat of Wall Street expectations on profits.

As a result, the MS Weekly $43.50 & $44 Calls that we signaled in our report produced some very nice chances for traders to lock in multi-bag profits.

The $43.50 Calls, from their low of 1.32 reached 4.20, for an intraweek gain of 218% The $44 Calls low came in at .85, and it went on to log a high of 3.65. That worked out to an overall increase of 329%

Fresh Options Ideas

Paypal, Inc. PYPL – The first of our earnings related options ideas to close out the week is going to be Paypal, whose stock saw early gains on the heels of the company’s report which entailed a big boost from the company’s Venmo offshoot. Revenue streams have been growing as Paypal has launched several initiatives within the platform. We are going to be looking at the PYPL Weekly $81-83 Calls* as we close out the trading week.

The Procter & Gamble Co. PG – We’re also looking at PG, which reported on its earnings this morning, and posted it’s biggest growth in sales for the last half a decade. Our idea for this particular play will be the PG Weekly $82-84.50 Calls*

*Please do not attempt to trade options with a weekly expiration on a Friday unless you are an advanced level trader with disposable funds. It’s an extreme risk/reward proposition!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: HAS, ABM Options & More

Hasbro Inc. HAS – Options Idea

To start things off this morning, we are looking toward the Hasbro options chain, following the company’s earnings report this morning revealed Q2 beats on sales, profits, and revs.

The stock is gapping up here in the premarket, and we’re going to want to be ready with an options idea for possible quick strike gains to kick off the week. We’re going to track the HAS Weekly $102-105 Calls, and attempt to continue to fantastic options success we have recently enjoyed.

ABM Industries, Inc. ABM

Speaking of fresh options ideas, we’re interested in ABM from a technical standpoint, and will be monitoring the activity in the ABM 08/17 $30-35 Calls.

As you can see on the following chart snapshot, we have a number of favorable indicators in play. In addition to a strong double bottom signal, and a MACD on the verge of going bullish, the stock just last week cracked and managed to hold support at its 50DMA. The RSI is also on the cusp of breaking the 50-line.

All in all, a positive move of at least a few dollars seems very possible, and would likely produce some good chances in our designated calls in that event.
