Massive Wins Yesterday, 5 New Possibilities

Huge Sweep on Options Plays:  

We approached yesterday’s earnings dump boldly, with our premarket report for the day containing a menu of five options daytrading possibilities. All but one were bullish ideas, and the markets helped us along as stocks in general surged essentially all day. Despite that, even our one set of bearish targets saw some reasonable intraday moves. All in all, it was another hugely positive session for our daily interests.

Our highlighted plays Tuesday were the PDD Weekly $89-91 Calls, the BBY Weekly $75-77 Calls, the SJM 09/15 $145-150 Calls, the CTLT 09/15 $47.50-50 Calls, and the HEI 09/15 $160-155 Puts. The massive intraday runs and potential gain chances we saw were as follows:

PDD Weekly $89-91 Calls
$89:
2.96-7.47 (+152%)
$90: 2.00-6.65 (+232%)
$91: 1.74-5.90 (+239%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Plays

MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. MCFT – Fresh Idea

We’ve picked up on a very interesting chart shape in Mastercraft this morning. The stock was well on its way to a solid recovery after bouncing off of its bottom at the end of last month. Despite the company’s earnings beat yesterday, the stock saw a gap-down followed by another bottom bounce.

We are interested in tracking the MCFT 10/18 $15-17.50 Calls in the weeks ahead, which will work out quite nicely if the stock manages another rebound similar to the one it exhibited in recent weeks.


Overstock.com Inc OSTK – Recap

The last time we tagged OSTK was a couple of weeks ago, on the morning of August 27th. We had scored some solid opportunities with short-term options in its chain the week before, but that report was a simple tag on the stock itself.

Subsequent to that highlight of OSTK, the stock saw a low of 14.72. That was followed by seven consecutive bull sessions by the stock, including yesterday’s which sent OSTK to a new high 27.38. That works out to an upswing of 86% in the month of September alone.


Fresh Options Idea:
SPY Weekly $301-302.50 Calls*

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