Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPY Recap

SPDR S&P500 (ETF) SPY

As we close out another solid week of stock and options trading, we just wanted to provide one final update on the SPY Calls we made earlier in the week. The markets dipped in the first half of the session yesterday, but recovered throughout the rest of the day.

Our idea from our premarket report on Wednesday morning of the SPY Weekly $296-297 Calls all produced double-bag intraday opportunities, and the two sets that we rolled up to include on our watchlist, the $297.50 and $298 Calls, kicked in multi-bag performances of their own.

$296 Calls – Range: .99-2.16 – Max Gain: 118%
$296.50 Calls – Range: .74-1.76 – Max Gain: 138%
$297 Calls – Range: .55-1.39 – Max Gain: 153%

$297.50 Calls – Range: .40-1.05 – Max Gain: 163%
$298 Calls – Range: .27-.77 – Max Gain: 185%

Just as there was yesterday, there may be another dip and rip chance for opportunistic traders to seize upon, so we’ll leave these plays on our radar as we finish out the week.

TrovaGene, Inc. TROV – Review

We last mentioned TROV on December 18th, and at the time the stock was trading down to an annual low of .503. Since then, we’ve seen a slow and steady recovery, which was kicked into a higher gear yesterday following news of Trovagene and PoC Capital entering an agreement to fund the development of Onvansertib in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.

The stock ended up hitting .73, marking a 45% rise since we mentioned it. We will want to continue monitoring TROV for further advances from this point forward.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TSN Recap & More

Tyson Foods Inc. TSN – Update

We started the week off yesterday by formulating some options ideas for TSN. The company had a mixed earnings call, with a beat on Q3 profits, and a miss on sales. We pointed to the technical setup of the chart as our primary reason for being interested, and as it turns out we called the bottom perfectly.

We came up with a short and longer term set of ideas, and while we may yet come back to the long terms, we are looking at the weekly calls we designated today after some solid performances. Those were the TSN Weekly $58-59.50 Calls, and all but the $58’s produced double-bag gains on the session.

$58.50 Calls – Range: .90-2.25 – Max Gain: 150%
$59 Calls – Range: .80-1.68 – Max Gain: 110%
$59.50 Calls – Range: .75-1.50 – Max Gain: 100%



Fresh Options Ideas

Our success with options over the past several weeks has been so pronounced, we see absolutely no reason to stop now, especially being in the thick of another earnings season. We’ve got another pair of earning related options ideas to bring to the table today.

Etsy, Inc. ETSY Weekly $40-50 Calls
Zillow Group, Inc. Z Weekly $48-49 Calls
