Kicking Off a Potential-Filled Trading Week

Hydrofarm Holdings Group, Inc. HYFM – Options Update:

As a result of the relatively dry period for earnings (which will finally clear up starting next week) we’ve been formulating a lot of longer-term ideas on stocks with good technical setups. A couple of Monday’s ago, on the morning of September 27th, we signaled the HYFM 11/19 $35-40 Calls.

The stock itself saw its lows shortly thereafter, and for the past week, has been making incremental gains which have begun to produce the sort of activity that we were hoping to see.

Here are the ranges and percentage increases we’ve observed so far. With over a month still remaining prior to expiration, we wouldn’t be surprised to have to return to this one later to report further gains:

HYFM 11/19 $35-40 Calls
$35: 4.21-5.92 (+41%)
$40: 1.90-3.30 (+74%)

Fresh Options Ideas: 
TAL Weekly $4.50-5.00 Calls
GM Weekly $58-59 Calls


Priority Aviation, Inc. PJET – Recap: 

Another play we signaled interest in toward the end of last month was PJET, which appeared in our report on the morning of September 30th, and the ensuing volatility did not disappoint.

This stock underwent a distinct dip-and-rip following our mention, going as low as .0125, before running back to .0235, for an upswing of 88% A break past .0244 this week, would put PJET into blue skies, so we’ll reserve a slot on our watchlists for it in upcoming sessions.

KLAC Review, Fresh Options Plays

KLA Corp. KLAC – Recap: 

We signaled a range a options plays for Friday’s session in our premarket report, and while they all saw positive moves, KLAC was the clear standout, which sustained its gains over a much longer period.

We were tracking the KLAC Weekly $330-340 Calls and following the company’s earnings beat, the stock was propelled from a low of 335.56-348.16 on the day, and that facilitated some elite single-session gain opportunities for us and our readers. This comes just weeks after it was reported that hedge fund interest in the company was on the rise.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: LLY Options Recap & More

Eli Lilly and Co. LLY – Options Update

In our premarket report on Friday morning, we finished off with a set of fresh options ideas for the LLY chain, and were met with nice gain opportunities on the day on all accounts.

In addition to a daytrading idea with the LLY Weekly $72 and $72.50 Calls, which worked out in spades, we also got some really good initial movement out of the longer term target we put forth, the 01/20 $75 Calls.

Weekly $72 Calls – Range: .20-1.25  – Max Gain: 475%
Weekly $72.50 Calls – Range: .15-.80  – Max Gain: 433%
1/20 $75 Calls – Range: .77-1.39  – Max Gain: 81%

We offer congratulations to anyone who benefited from the short-term ideas, and we’ll be sure to stay on the trail of those 01/20 $75 Calls in the weeks ahead.


Globalstar, Inc. GSAT

We caught a glimpse of GSAT on our scanner this morning and feel it’s worthy of mentioning, based on a number of factors. Last week, the moves that the stock had been making off of its recent relative lows in the low .70-range began to increase.

On Thursday, the stock bullishly breached its 50DMA, culminating in a huge spike in volume on Friday. Roughly six times the monthly average trading volume accompanied a break of the dollar mark. We’re going to put this on watch as a possible momentum play.


AmpliPhi BioSciences, Inc. APHB

Speaking of bottom-bouncers, APHB cropped on our scan as well, and it has a look of high potential as it’s coming up off of its recently established annual lows.

In addition, there’s a gap to fill on the chart to the upside, and with the stock already trading up in the premarket, that’s a real possibility here. With such a ripe chart, we’ll be very interested to follow APHB’s activity out of the gate this morning.
