Earnings Season Back in Full Swing

Solid Start to the Week:

We put our best foot forward yesterday to kick the tires on a fresh trading week, and despite a poor session for the markets, four of the five options ideas we included in our morning report ended up presenting respectable swing trade opportunities early in the day.

We cast a rather wide net, and the targets that produced for us were the SPY 07/18 $386-388 Calls, the SYF Weekly $31-33 Calls, the GS Weekly $300-305 Calls, and the BA Weekly $150-152.50 Calls. Here were the intraday swings and total possible gains they recorded:

Friday’s Winning Selections: 

We’re kicking things off this week the same way we always hope to do, which is presenting the excellent gain opportunities that our Friday options ideas afforded ourselves and our readers. As usual, most of our targets yielded excellent intraday gains opportunities.

We were commenting on the fact that we’re heading into another period of a relatively thin earnings calendar, but we managed to unearthed some multibag runners nonetheless.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: KATE Recap & More

Kate Spade & Co. KATE – Recap

We closed out yesterday morning’s premarket report with a fresh options idea on KATE just following the company’s earnings report. While revenues were down, a healthy beat on profits led us to cast our lot in with the bulls.

We targeted KATE Weekly $20 and $21 Calls and were not disappointed with the outcome, with both sets of contracts providing ample opportunities for intraday gains.

The $20 Calls stopped just short of recording a double-bag move, running from 1.41 to 2.70, for a 91% rip. The $21s did manage that feat and then some, with a 131% pop from .65 to 1.50.

Fresh Options Ideas

VanEck Vectors Coal ETF (KOL) –  We want to put an extended watch on the coal industry just hours after breaking news of the signing of “Resolution 38”, which nullifies a recently enacted law barring coal miners from dumping project waste material in streams.

It’s a cost-cutting move that could benefit domestic coal producers in the long run, and could create some chances for us in the process. We want to add the KOL 03/17 $13 Calls, and  04/21 $14 Calls to our watchlist in the weeks and months ahead.

Unilever PLC (UL) – Shares of UL spiked this morning on the heels of Unilever rejecting a $140B+ takeover bid. We’re looking to potentially take advantage of the resulting hype with an idea for possible daytrades.

We’re going to be keeping an eye on the UL Weekly $42.50-47.50 Calls for the chance at some quick-strike gain opportunities.
