Blue Horseshoe Stocks: DG Recap & More

Dollar General Corp. DG

We selected a wide range of puts in the DG chain on Tuesday morning, the DG Weekly $109-103 Puts following the company’s earnings release, wherein it lowered its outlook for the year. Despite a sales beat, shares slid considerably. With the help of an overall market downtrend in which the Dow took an 800 point hit, every set of contracts we selected made multi-bag gains.

$109 Puts – Range: 2.20-6.80 – Max Gain: 209%
$108 Puts – Range: 1.76-5.80 – Max Gain: 230%
$107 Puts – Range: 1.25-4.40 – Max Gain: 252%
$106 Puts – Range: .88-4.18 – Max Gain: 375%
$105 Puts – Range: .55-3.30 – Max Gain: 500%

Aphria, Inc. APHA

We’ve had an eye on Aphria, and indeed the whole Canadian cannabis market, for years.  Having previously been traded under the symbol APHQF on the OTC Markets, the Canadian cannabis company now trades on the NYSE and bills itself as a drug manufacturer in the healthcare industry.

As a result of allegations against the company, the stock has taken a severe beating in recent sessions. We’re going to begin to observe more closely as a potential bottom bounce play in the days and weeks ahead, as it has reached the point of being heavily oversold with a huge short interest. We’ll want to be hanging around when the shorts start to get squeezed.

Cronos Group, Inc. CRON

We alerted CRON initially on Halloween morning and rode several options ideas to multi-bag gains through the early goings of last month. Since that time, the range on the stock itself has been rather impressive, with CRON shooting to new highs yesterday.

On the day of our initial report on CRON, we observed a low of 7.10. Yesterday’s new high came in at 11.89, which represents a gain of 67% in just under five weeks.

Zillow Group, Inc. Z – Update

A couple of Wednesday’s ago, on the 21st, we highlighted some options ideas on Zillow, which caught our eye when we noticed some insider buying at relative lows. The insider buying trend has continued, as has Zillow’s filling of the gap we had identified on the chart.

Yesterday the stock hit a new high of 37.75, which from our observed low of 27.92 marks a move of 35% in just over a week’s time. That allowed new highs in the Z 01/18 $30-40 Calls on our watchlist.

Our signaled options ideas have thus far provided us with the following gain opportunities:

$30 Calls – Range: 1.57-6.66 – Max Gain: 324%
$35 Calls – Range: .57-3.83 – Max Gain: 572%
$40 Calls – Range: .10-1.42 – Max Gain: 1320%
