Sustained Options Success

Options Updates

We try to make solid quick-strike options ideas for our readers and ourselves each and every morning. We generally do find at least some measure of success with that on a daily basis, and yesterday was no exception to that.

We signaled a range of bullish ideas for CAH, in addition to a bearish one for MAR which both turned in some decent gains on the day. A few of the longer term ideas we’ve been tracking saw increases as well, but we’ll come back to those at a later time.

For now, here are the moves made by yesterday’s targets so far: 

CAH Weekly $52.50-54 Calls
$52.50: .90-2.20 (+144%)
$53: .71-1.68 (+135%)
$53.50: .55-1.30 (+136%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Big Shipping Options

Big Shipping Options Review 

Yesterday morning, we were feeling confident in a bearish session leading into the Fed meeting. Despite a last-hour rebound following the rate lowering, most of the day provided us with plenty of backsliding action that led to some very respectable single-session gains for our picks.

We had bearish ideas set up for both of the main players in the parcel shipping game, In each instance, we observed solid moves for every single one of our targeted contracts:

FDX Weekly $157.50-155 Puts
$165 Calls – Range: 
4.30-9.20 – Max Gain: 114%
$167.50 Puts – Range: 3.00-7.00 – Max Gain: 133%

UPS Weekly $120-119 Puts
$120 Puts – Range:
 .67-1.37 – Max Gain: 104%
$119 Puts – Range: .44-.89 – Max Gain: 102%


Eros International Plc. EROS

We mentioned EROS most recently on August 21st, and shortly following that alert, the stock was trading for as little as 1.20. This morning we have observed a new high of 3.42 in the premarket in the wake of an announced partnership with Microsoft.

That’s a total increase of 185% in roughly seven weeks’ time. We’ll be interested to continue monitoring the activity from this point on.

DOUGLAS, Isle of Man–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Eros Now, a South Asian entertainment OTT (over-the-top) video platform by Eros International Plc, a Global Indian Entertainment Company, the ultimate one-stop destination for the internet generation to consume captivating content, today announced a collaboration with Microsoft to build a next generation online video platform on Microsoft Azure targeted at its consumers across the globe.

Precipio, Inc. PRPO – Recap

We initially put PRPO on watch a few weeks ago on the 10th of April, and over that short span we;ve seen some really nice swings out of the stock that we wanted to come back and highlight this morning.

Following our original alert, the stock was trading for as little as 3.75 before making a run to 9.31, which represents a gain of 148%  It subsequently pulled back to a low of 4.23, before making its way back to 8.60 yesterday. That second distinct move amounts to an upswing of 103%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PEP Surges & More

PepsiCo, Inc. PEP

Pepsi had a solid across the board beat following its premarket earnings release yesterday, and we seized opportunity to include the  PEP Weekly $124-125 Calls in our morning report.

A five-dollar intraday run by the stock allowed for some very nice opportunities to profit in our pair of targets. The $124 Calls ran from .72-3.40 for a big 372% rip, while the $125’s traded from .32 to 2.45; a gain of 666%


Verb Technology, Inc. VERB

This stock is a newcomer to the NASDAQ, having only recently uplisted from the OTCQB, which has been the subject of a selloff over the past six weeks. That was kicked into another gear earlier this month when the company announced that its move to the NASDAQ would be accompanied by a $20M offering at roughly half the market price at the time.

Now that it has fallen well below the offering price, and indicators are suggesting a rebound may be in order, we are going to flag this play for observation in the days and weeks ahead.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Ideas

The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. GBX

The first thing that jumped out to us on this morning’s routine market scan was GBX. The only company on the earnings calendar with a market cap of more than a billion dollars, it’s also boasting an attractive bottom setup on the chart.

We’re going to tag the GBX 04/18 $30-35 Calls for observation, which gives us a couple of weeks to see more a rebound from the stock, which just began to rise off of in recent;y established 52-lows.
______

FRESH OPTIONS IDEAS
SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY) Weekly $287-288 Calls 
Constellation Brands, Inc. STZ Weekly $187.50 Calls


InspireMD, Inc. NSPR

We also will be placing another recently struggling stock in NSPR on bottom watch this morning. With it just having registered new 52-week lows yesterday, it would appear there may be slightly further to fall before a rebound is imminent, if we look at the indicators, but we’ll start tracking it now.

The stock was trading at twice this amount barely over a month ago, so the potential for rapidly recovery is also there.
