Four Fresh Earnings Related Options Ideas

Options Reviews:

Yesterday was a rather subdued start to the week, at least in terms of the magnitude of the daily movement we saw in the options targets that we were observing for the day, however, a few of our ideas did still manage to produce some solid intraday gain opportunities for us.

We were tracking the MNDY Weekly $105-100 Puts and the WIX Weekly $70 Puts from yesterday morning’s newsletter, and we also have the figures on a longer-term play that we initiated on Thursday morning, the NICE 05/20 $185-190 Calls, which subsequently made considerable gains that ran well into multi-bag territory.

4.07-9.00 (+121%)
$100: 2.80-6.70 (+139%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPY Recap & More

SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY)

We were all over the SPY last week, scoring some big chances for profits early on with some calls, and then flipping to the bearish end of things with some puts on Friday, which also happened to work like a charm. We played the SPY like a fiddle, and the potential returns were considerable.

Our targets were the SPY Weekly $263.50-262 Puts, and each of the four contracts contained within that range provided traders with huge gain opportunities, which were as follows:

$263.50 Puts – Range: .75-3.50 – Max Gain: 367%
$263 Puts – Range: .59-3.10 – Max Gain: 425%
$262.50 Puts – Range: .45-3.07 – Max Gain: 582%
$262 Puts – Range: .34-2.16 – Max Gain: 535%



Johnson & Johnson JNJ

We want to place JNJ on longer-term rebound watch today as the stock took an absolute plastering on Friday with roughly a $15 dip. Three separate insiders filed Form-4’s on Friday indicating share purchases at those lows. That is as good an indicator as any that belief is high in JNJ getting back on track in the near future.

We’re going to put the JNJ 01/25 $135-140 Calls on watch in the days and weeks ahead, as a recovery of some degree does not seem far off for JNJ.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AAP Recap & More

Advance Auto Parts, Inc. AAP

One of yesterday’s two options ideas that we offered up to our readers, AAP’s daily performance was the most pronounced. The machinations of the stock allowed for notable intraday gain opportunities, on the heels of the company’s Q2 earnings call. Those gains were as follows:

$145 Calls – Range: 8.92-14.55 – Max Gain:  62%
$150 Calls – Range: 4.80-9.67 – Max Gain: 40%
$155 Calls – Range: 2.50-5.40 – Max Gain: 51%

We’ve also caught word of a large share repurchase, so despite the fact that AAP is already in blue skies, we’ll continue to monitor these ideas.



The Home Depot, Inc. HD

The other fresh idea from yesterday’s report were the HD Weekly $195 & 197.50 Calls, and those also managed to produce significant chances for profits on the day.

The $195’s traded in a range from .81-2.46, a gain of 204% while the $187.50’s ran from .39-1.28. That was good for intraday gains of 228%



Energen Corp. EGN

Another longer-term set of ideas we recently offered up, the EGN 09/21 $75 & 77.50 Calls, have also begun to produce results. The $75 Calls gone from  1.10-1.95 (+77%), and the $77.50’straded from .90-1.10 (+22%).

While those are merely marginal moves, the stock is gearing up for another bullish session, gapping up significantly here in the premarket. We expect to see the ranges on these calls extended by a significant margin today.


FRESH OPTIONS IDEAS:
Constellation Brands, Inc. STZ 
just purchased an additional $4B stake in Canopy Growth Corp. CGC,putting the beverage manufacturer effectively into the cannabis business. We will signal some calls here in both cases.For STZ, the 09/14 $220 & 222.50 Calls, and for the Canopy chain- the CGC 09/21 $30-40 Calls.
