Monday’s Movers, 4 New Chances

Monday in Review:

We came out fresh to start the week in decent fashion on Monday, with our premarket report containing a trio of possible plays, all of which came down on the bearish side of things. It was the wrong move as far as how the winds were blowing but we still saw some solid movement from those targets early on.

We had put the SPY 04/13 $677-676 Puts, the GS Weekly $875-870 Puts, and the on radar FAST Weekly $47.50 Puts with those FAST Puts really being the most notable target by a huge margin, scoring a big multibag rip on the day:

We’re wrapping up another solid trading week by reviewing our spot-on options ideas from yesterday morning’s premarket report. We had signaled interest in both the QCOM Weekly $88.50-90 Calls and the BIDU Weekly $114-117 Calls.

We are happy to say that both of those fresh ideas produced opportunities for multi-bag gains in the day. Here’s the breakdown of the profits that were there for taking:

QCOM Weekly $88.50-90 Calls

Fresh Options Ideas:
DIS Weekly $139-142 Calls*

*Never trade weekly options on a Friday unless you are an advanced level trader with access to disposable funds.

Sun Kissed Industries, Inc. SKDI

We also highlighted SKDI as one to watch in yesterday morning’s premarket Extended Watchlist. The stock put up quite an intraday performance as it traded up from a low of .03, to a high of .16 on the day.

That works out to a single-session gain of 433% and serves as a perfect example of why we always try to include a daily Extended Watchlist, and why we will never quit speculating on the OTC entirely.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks NKE Bear, KMX Bull & More

Earnings-Related Options Ideas

Our regular readers know that quick-strike options trading of plays that have just seen their quarterly earnings releases are among our favorite scenarios. The volatility afforded to us by these events is key to the type of opportunities we are commonly after.

This morning, we have NKE which has untraded-upon earnings reported in the post-market yesterday, and Carmax which dropped its report in the premarket today. We’ve got a set of bearish ideas for NKE and bullish ideas for KMX.

We’ll place the following targets on our watchlist today to monitor throughout the remainder of the week:

CarMax, Inc, KMX Weekly $77-79 Calls
Nike, Inc. NKE Weekly $83.50-81.50 Puts
_____

L.B. Foster Co. FSTR

We also have a longer term idea for the FSTR chain. As you can see on the chart snapshot we’ve included below, the stock is presently exhibiting a strong multiple-bottom.

We’re going to place the FSTR 10/19 $22.50 & $25 Calls on watch in the likely event that a recovery does occur.

GoPro, Inc. GPRO

We took advantage of the situation with GPRO yesterday after noticing the stock light up the boards in the premarket on the heels of a guidance adjustment.

We set our sights on the GPRO Weekly $9.50 & $10 Calls and both sets of contracts ended up providing traders with a chance at notable intraday gains.

The $9.50’s ran from .13-.90 for a whopping intraday pop of 592%, while the $10’s traded in a range from .47-1.20 for chances at up to 155% profit.

Insmed, Inc. INSM – Update

We’ve also got the pleasure of updating the figures on the options idea we put out on Tuesday after INSM had yet another solid session. The updated ranges on the contracts we selected are quite impressive, including a twelve-bagger, clearly demonstrating why we devote so much energy to options trading in addition to stocks!

The gains that were up for grabs to anyone who was paying attention were as follows:

$27 Calls – Range: .95-4.50 – Max Gain: 373%
$28 Calls – Range: .25-3.40 – Max Gain: 1260%
$29 Calls – Range: .40-2.75 – Max Gain: 588%
$30 Calls – Range: .50-2.12 – Max Gain: 324%

NewLink Genetics Corp. NLNK

We also had some very good fortune with our call of NLNK yesterday morning, which we caught notice of on our routine morning scan after some abnormal activity cropped up in the premarket.

Despite the fact that it went into the session as a $9+ stock, we still saw a really nice intraday push en route to NLNK going on the books as the NASDAQ’s top mover. We observed as the stock ran from a low of 9.50, traded up for essentially the entire session, and hit a high of 14.48 for a hefty 52% move on the day.

NLNK closed with strength, maintaining well over half its daily advance, so we’ll definitely want to continue to monitor the situation. No matter how you slice it, a single-session gain of 50% from a nearly ten-dollar stock, is nothing short of incredible.
