Another Flip on the SPY, Fresh Ideas

Options Review: 

It has been a stellar week for options trading, despite the markets having their hiccups. Yesterday was another mixed bag in terms of the overall sentiment, but both of the quick strike options plays we were tracking in our premarket report produced immediate results for us. The volatility afforded by recent market conditions has been a real plus for daytraders.

Our designated targets for yesterday’s session were the SPY 05/13 $392-389 Puts, and the DIS Weekly $101-98 Puts, and there were multi-bag intraday opportunities across the board in both ranges. Below, we’re going to flip our stance on the SPY as well, something we’ve done successfully many times in recent sessions, so be sure to read on past yesterday’s performance figures to find those fresh targets.

SPY 05/13 $392-389 Puts
$392:
 2.40-8.02 (+197%)
$391: 2.02-7.30 (+262%)
$390: 1.74-6.60 (+279%)
$389: 1.47-5.90 (+301%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Great Start to the Week

T2 Biosystems, Inc. TTOO

This past Thursday morning, we cautioned our readers that TTOO was heavily oversold, and sniffing out a bottom with a massive gap to the upside. As it turned out, our timing on that alert could not have any better. The stock saw its low of .52 that day and hasn’t looked back since. Yesterday, TTOO reached .76 which works out to a three-day upswing of 46%, a modest yet respectable move.

More importantly, the stock is once again taking off on the heels of a fresh PR this morning (below), reaching a new high of 1.13 in premarket trading. That further extends our observed range on this play to 117% as TTOO begins to fill the gap on the chart that we mentioned which runs up to the 1.36 mark.

LEXINGTON, Mass., Aug. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — T2 Biosystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTOO) announced today that the United States Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) granted approval for a New Technology Add-on Payment (NTAP) for the T2Bacteria® Panel for FY 2020.

The T2Bacteria Panel, the first and only FDA-cleared test to identify sepsis-causing bacterial pathogens directly from whole blood in 3 to 5 hours without the need to wait for blood culture, is now also the first and only in-vitro diagnostic test to ever receive approval for NTAP. (>>View Full PR)
