Blue Horseshoe Stocks: The Week in Review & More

SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) – Options Recap

Our idea in weekly SPY calls has repeatedly produced this week, continuing the trend from Wednesday with a really nice session yesterday. Each of the three contracts in the our highlighted range of SPY Weekly $204-206 Calls pushed the upper limits and soared to new highs as markets rallied for the third straight day.

On the table below, we’ve included both yesterday’s daily gains, as well as the total increase off of our observed lows from Wednesday (1.45, .87 and .47 respectively):

$204 Calls – Range: 2.59-5.46 – Intraday Gain: 111% – Overall Move: 277%
$205 Calls – Range: 1.68-4.51 – Intraday Gain: 168% – Overall Move: 418%
$206 Calls – Range: .83-3.58 – Intraday Gain: 331% – Overall Move: 662%

Mobileye N.V. (MBLY) – Update

We also had a fresh idea in yesterday’s report, namely the MBLY Weekly $44.50-46.50 Calls. While we didn’t see a full sweep of our observed range in terms of big potential profits, three out of the five sets of contracts recorded sizable intra-session pops, including a monstrous octuple-bagger in the 46’s!

$45 Calls – Range: 1.80-2.50 – Max Gain: 144%
$46 Calls – Range: .31-3.00 – Max Gain: 868%
$46.50 Calls – Range: .70-1.50 – Max Gain: 44%

Netflix, Inc. NFLX – Fresh Options Idea

We’ll go ahead and close out what has been a fruitful trading week for options with one final idea. We’re going to zero in on NFLX Weekly $93.50-95.50 Calls.  We’ll need to see NFLX hold above its premarket low of 93.49 on any pullbacks for our interest in these contracts to remain in force, and if this week’s market-wide recovery trend perpetuates, it shouldn’t have much trouble doing so.

*As usual, we’ll warn our less-seasoned readers that messing with weekly options contracts on a Friday is an inherently risky proposition for expert traders only!

Five Star Quality Care, Inc. FVE

We also want to provide a quick update on a stock we tagged for observation in yesterday’s watchlist. While the intraday gains amounted to a modest 14%, we’re going to be keeping an eye peeled for further activity as we head into the long holiday weekend.

If the stock can maintain support above the current 50DMA of 2.13 on any forthcoming consolidations, it will continue to hold our interest.

Bottom Watchlist:

The following will be on our radars as possible bottom-plays: Sipp Industries, Inc. SIPC  &  Guided Therapeutics, Inc. GTHP

Extended Watchlist:
TPIV, SFEG, AAU, WING, GFI

 Tracking Options Ideas

To continue following up with the pair of options ideas we started the week with, we’re glad to report that the opportunities kept flowing yesterday for the second consecutive session.

Tiffany & Co. TIF – Puts

We said we were looking for more downside on TIF despite the fact that its $65 and $64 Puts had already presented us with chances for gains ranging from 132-223% on Tuesday, and that’s just what we ultimately observed. In the first half of the day TIF shares plunged from the $62 range and briefly fell below $60 before it followed suit with the marketwide rally that occurred around midday.

Both the $65 and $64 Puts would experience impressive new highs as TIF was trending down in the morning. The $65 Puts, which we caught at a low of .51, rocketed as high as 4.80, marking a two-day swing of 841%. The $64’s managed to hit 4.10, which from our observed low of .56 on Tuesday represents a move of 632%

Netflix, Inc. NFLX – Calls

On the flip-side of the coin we had NFLX Calls, which obviously struggled during the overall market’s morning dip, but then flourished when that epic mid-to-late-day rally kicked in. On Tuesday we had zeroed in on the $105-107 Calls and found opportunities for relatively modest gains in the 40%-range.

For yesterday’s report, we mentioned we’d be rolling up strike prices to the $110-112, and those ideas yielded intraday upswings of a much more significant nature:

$110 Calls – Trading Range: .53-2.94  – Max Gain: 454%
$111 Calls – Trading Range: .47-2.48 – Max Gain: 428%
$112 Calls – Trading Range: .40-2.10 – Max Gain: 425%

NFLX’s afternoon run fell just short of a significant psychological barrier at $110, reaching its daily high at 109.99. A break of the $110 price point would obviously spell more big moves for these NFLX contracts.

Other Notable Gainers

We were tracking both Pleasant Kids, Inc. PLKD and Goodrich Petroleum Corp. GDPM for the second straight day in yesterday’s report, and both stocks offered up modest, yet noteworthy intraday spikes.

PLKD traded in a range from .21-.31 for a 48% spike, while GDPM ran 30% from a low of .076 to .099. Both moves occurred on relatively average volume.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Successful Options Plays & More


Options Recap

We kicked off this short trading week with a couple of options ideas yesterday, and both plays got off to a good start.

Tiffany & Co. TIF

TIF was our top-billed options idea from yesterday morning’s premarket report, wherein we signaled our interest in tracking contracts in the range of TIF Weekly $66.50-64 Puts for quick-strike opportunities. The company announced less-than-favorable results for the quarter which set the stock up for a tumble, just as we’d suspected.

The contracts that jumped out to us as seeing the most activity were the $65’s and $64’s. The $65 Puts traded up from a daily low of .51 and hit 1.65 for potential intraday gains of up to 223%, while the $64 Puts jumped 132% from .56-1.30.

We’ll leave ourselves open to the idea of seeing even more downside on TIF, especially with market conditions in general continuing to lag.

_____

Netflix, Inc. NFLX

Our other options trading idea from yesterday was pertaining to NFLX. We said we wanted to take advantage of the anticipation leading into yesterday’s post-market quarterly earnings reveal, and our strategy worked to a tee.

We had set our sights on NFLX Weekly $105-107 Calls to take advantage of what we were observing, and every set in that range produced chances for notable intraday profits:

$105 Calls – Trading Range: 7.00-9.50  – Max Gain: 36%
$106 Calls – Trading Range: 6.30- 9.25 – Max Gain: 47%
$107 Calls – Trading Range: 6.02-8.40 – Max Gain: 40%

NFLX did beat Wall Street’s expectations, and is presently bucking the overall trends as it gaps up here in the premarket. We’re going to look to roll up our target strike prices to the range of $110-112 Calls as our previously tracked range has now been pushed deep into the money.

Other Noteworthy Gainers 

We had a couple of plays on the stock side of things make decent moves after appearing on yesterday’s premarket watchlist. While they didn’t quite go exponential on us, both of the following made good, solid moves to the upside during yesterday’s session.

Pleasant Kids, Inc. PLKD

PLKD saw its low come in at .2109, and it got off to a fast start, reaching its high of .285  within roughly the first half hour of trading. That logged as an intraday pop of 35% The company is aiming at a name and symbol change (Next Group Holdings, Inc. NEXT) after its recently completed merger (View 8-K). The request is still being processed by FINRA at this time, but we’ll keep our eyes open for updates, and remain on this plays trail as long as it can hold support above yesterday’s swing low.

____

Goodrich Petroleum Corp. GDPM

The other stock from yesterday’s watchlist  to produce an intraday spike was GDPM, which recently delisted from the NYSE to the OTC (Formerly NYSE:GDP). We witnessed the stock run from a low of .071 to .095, a respectable 33% pop which occurred on slightly higher-than-average volume. It managed to close at .088, holding a good portion of yesterday’s daily advances, so we’ll let it remain on our radars as we cruise through this midweek.
