MAR Puts, BSGM Updates

Marriot International, Inc. MAR – Update
–
The markets took a late dive yesterday afternoon, and as they plunged, it helped our bearish idea on MAR realize some nice new gains. We were just reporting on the MAR Weekly $86.50-85 Puts in yesterday’s report, with what were only nominal gains at the time. Today the figures are looking far more impressive.

Even after the company’s CEO somewhat brashly called MAR stock ‘a bottom’, traders did not agree as it took a considerable hit and headed lower. That produced the following opportunities in our targeted puts;

MAR Weekly $86.50-85 Puts
$86.50: 2.80-7.00 (+150%)
$86:2.70-6.60 (+144%)
$85.50: 2.20-5.02 (+128%)
$85: 2.13-5.97 (+180%)

BioSig Technologies, Inc. BSGM

We have been tracking BSGM pretty closely this spring, and the stock has put together an incredible performance. Subsequent to our alert of this play roughly 5 weeks ago on April 7th, it registered a low of 3.45/share. The company has been doing trials for potential coronavirus treatments with the drugs Merimepodib and Remdesivir.

After stacking gains on top of gains and essentially going up continuously with very few daily exceptions, BSGM arrived at a new high of 12.43 yesterday. That represents an increase of 260% in just over a month’s time!

We will certainly continue to track BSGM’s progress and keep our ears to the track for any further developments in the company’s quest for a viable COVID-19 treatment.

Options Recaps, New Ideas

The Walt Disney Co. DIS – Options Review

On Friday morning, we closed out the week with a last minute options ideasignaling our interest in the DIS Weekly $139-142 Calls. Despite a turbulent open for stocks in general, we saw some really nice early opportunities from those ideas.

The total possible gains on those contracts were as follows:

DIS Weekly $139-142 Calls
$139 Calls – Range: .61-1.48 – Max Gain: 143%
$140 Calls – Range: .38-.94 – Max Gain: 147%
$141 Calls – Range: .25-.54 – Max Gain: 116%
$142 Calls – Range: .12-.38 – Max Gain: 217%

AnaptysBio Inc. ANAB – Options Idea

We also took notice of ANAB this morning after the stock fell to new all-time lows yesterday. Just as a stock that shoots up a great deal in a short time must eventually come down to earth, one that tanks this hard is bound to recover some ground.

From current levels, a play on the stock itself could pan out favorably in a relatively short amount of time, but we will also designate some longer-term contracts in the options chain for an added idea. We’ll radar the ANAB 01/17 $10-15 Calls for observation over the next several weeks.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Wins Keep Coming

Continued Options Success
–
Yesterday we mentioned that we were in the heart of a major flood of earnings reports. We recapped the 4-pack of ideas we gave out on Monday, and formulated new ideas for four more plays. Once again and for the second day in a row, ALL FOUR of our ideas bore major fruit in a single session.

For any newcomers that don’t understand why we go back to quick-strike options trading again and again, this is the reason. There’s no other way to make such large potential gains, so reliably, over such a short period. Even the OTC Markets cannot provide the same near-term volatility.

These were the intraday gains made possible by yesterday’s fresh ideas:

PG Weekly $118-121 Calls
$118 Calls – Range: 1.75-3.80 – Max Gain: 117%
$119 Calls – Range: 1.45-3.00 – Max Gain: 107%
$120 Calls – Range: .60-2.18 – Max Gain: 263%
$121 Calls – Range: .42-1.50 – Max Gain: 257%

RL Weekly $110-113 Calls
$110 Calls – Range: .80-1.95 – Max Gain: 144%
$111 Calls – Range: .45-1.71 – Max Gain: 280%
$112 Calls – Range: .40-1.05 – Max Gain: 163%
$113 Calls – Range: .20-.70 – Max Gain: 250%

LLY Weekly $108-110 Calls
$108 Calls – Range: .96-2.12 – Max Gain: 118%
$109 Calls – Range: .60-1.90 – Max Gain: 217%
$110 Calls – Range: .40-1.30 – Max Gain: 225%

OSTK Weekly $22.50-24 Calls
$22.50 Calls – Range: .85-1.40 – Max Gain: 65%
$23 Calls – Range: .40-.95 – Max Gain: 138%
$23.50 Calls – Range: .25-1.03 – Max Gain: 312%
$24 Calls – Range: .40-1.28 – Max Gain: 220%
