Tuesday’s Perfect Performance, Fresh Plays

A Perfect Day for Options:

After an admittedly disappointing outing on Monday, we bounced back yesterday morning with a vengeance. We gathered ourselves quickly and issued four new potential trading ideas in our premarket report, and were not displeased with the results. We got right back to our winning ways, as all four of our designated targets recorded nice intraday moves for us.

Our new interests were the SPY 07/11 $439-441 Calls, the INTU Weekly $460-465 Calls, the WDFC 07/21 $200-210 Calls, and the PSMT 07/21 $75 Puts. The gain chances they afforded us ranged from pretty darn good, to astounding, as you can see below:

SPY 07/11 $439-441 Calls
$439: 1.06-3.83 (+261%)
$440: .56-2.95 (+426%)
$441: .16-1.95 (+1118%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Recap, Fresh Idea & More

SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY)

On Friday we were just mentioning how SPY options has been a go-to trade for us. We talked about the most recent occurrence, when we signaled some SPY Calls earlier this month that produce multi-bag gain opportunities.

We said we would be tracking the SPY Weekly $263.50-265 Calls on Friday and it should come as no shock that we once again struck it big with our favorite ETF. Each of the four contracts contained within our specified range logged huge gains on the day.

Here are the intraday moves made, and the total possible gains that were available to anyone who was following our idea:

$263.50 Calls – Range: 1.09-3.94 – Max Gain: 261%
$264 Calls – Range: .47-2.96 – Max Gain: 530%
$264.50 Calls – Range: .51-2.46 – Max Gain: 382%
$265 Calls – Range: .33-2.00 – Max Gain: 506%


Logitech International, Inc. LOGI

We’ve also taken notice of LOGI on the heels of its Q3 earnings report, wherein the company has reported record sales for the quarter, not to mention raising guidance for the full year. As a result it presently appears to be the most attractive stock on the earnings calendar.

We are going to signal a range of calls in the LOGI chain to observe in the days and weeks ahead–  the LOGI 02/15 $34-35 Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CAT Options & More

Caterpillar, Inc. CAT – Options

We’ve had great success in the past with CAT options after the company reports earnings, and that’s just what we’re going to try to do again today.

The company obliterated forecasts on the Street for its earnings figures and raised its outlook as well, producing interesting activity here in the premarket and has us anxious to track some calls once the session gets going.

We’re interested in monitoring the CAT 04/27 $157.50-162.50 Calls to try and take advantage of the situation.

Controladora Vuela Compania de Aviacion VLRS

We’re also going to put VLRS on bottom watch for a potential incoming dead cat bounce after the stock has been absolutely crushed over the past two sessions, as you can plainly view on the chart below.

All because of perceived lowered demand after the company’s revenue per seat mile decreased, even as overall revenue increased, according to its recent earnings report. We don’t see that as commensurate with the beating the stock has taken, sending it to new lows and well into egregiously oversold territory. We’ll have it on watch for a possible rebound.
