Shorts Yield Dividends, Fresh Ideas to Close out the Week

Bearish Signals Pay Off:

We got things back on track in a big way for yesterday morning’s premarket report, with regard to our daily options ideas. It is an extremely rare occurrence that we would signal a full slate with nothing but bearish targets, but that’s exactly how things shook out yesterday, and it worked to our advantage.

The collection of puts that we were tracking for the day were the MDB Weekly $280-275 Puts, the OKTA Weekly $78-75 Puts, the CIEN 09/16 $55-45 Puts, and the SPY 09/02 $395-393 Puts, and thanks partly to the early downturn in the markets right from the opening bell, these were the caliber of gain opportunities that awaited us with these ideas:

MDB Weekly $280-275 Puts
$280: 11.90- 40.58 (+241%)

Going Bearish on Options Targets, GEGI Update

Note on Wednesday’s Absence:

We wanted to start out this morning by apologizing to our readers for being unable to deliver a newsletter for yesterday’s session due to an unfortunate technical issue with the internet at our office. In the history of our archive site bluehorshoestocks.com, which stretches back over 11 years, one could count the number of trading days we’ve missed on one hand, so you can rest assured that this is not a typical occurrence! At any rate, we’re back online and ready to keep chugging along as we head into the upcoming long weekend.

First off, our top runner from where we left off on Tuesday morning turned out to be the BBY Weekly $74 Calls, which subsequently made a move from 2.40-5.70 (+138%). As for getting back on track today, we’ve got some big name earnings reporters from a variety of sectors for potential trades.

Fresh Options Ideas:
MDB Weekly $280-275 Puts
OKTA Weekly $78-75 Puts
CIEN 09/16 $55-45 Puts
SPY 09/02 $395-393 Puts

Genesis Electronics Group, Inc. GEGI – OTC Update:

We’ve been tracking GEGI for quite some time, having tagged it in our daily watchlists five times in the month of August alone, and stretching back to early July when we caught it trading as low as .0018. Yesterday the stock hit a new all-time high of .0197, which marks an amazing overall increase of 994% making it one of the hottest OTC plays we’ve track all summer long.

Even if someone had only caught our most recent alert on GEGI on the morning of August 24th when GEGI was trading at .008, the stock still recorded a rapid run of 146%

Friday’s Big Winners, Fresh Ideas & More

Solid Options Runners: 

To close things out for the short week on Friday, we had a pair of quick-strike options ideas in the LULU and OKTA chains, as well as a longer term target for ASAN in our premarket report. Despite a rather subdued session for the markets in general wherein we saw a gap-down in the morning, and not much progress toward a recovery throughout the day, we were still able to manage some very nice gain chances.

Our specific areas of interest for the day were the LULU Weekly $300-307.50 Calls, the OKTA Weekly $106-108 Calls, and the ASAN 06/17 $22.50 Puts. Both sets of calls produced multi-bag profit possibilities on the day, with ASAN not lagging far behind. We’ve also got a week and change before they expire, so we’ll continue to monitor those as well. As for Friday’s moves, here’s what these ideas put forth for the session:

LULU Weekly $300-307.50 Calls
$300: 2.55-7.35 (+188%)
$302.50: 2.00-5.60 (+180%)
$305: 1.41-4.50 (+219%)
$307.50: .94-3.40 (+262%)
_____

OKTA Weekly $106-108 Calls
$106: 1.16-2.87 (+147%)
$107: .84-2.05 (+144%)
$108: .48-1.39 (+190%)
_____

ASAN 06/17 $22.50 Puts
$22.50: 1.82-2.90 (+59%)

Fresh Options Ideas: 

We are heading into an extended dry spell with regard to the number of big name companies dropping their earnings reports, which is going to persist for the next several weeks. We’re used to traversing these periodic ‘earnings deserts’, and as always, we’ll still be working hard every day to find the best opportunities possible, which for us, generally includes a heavy reliance on the SPY- our favorite market analog.

SPY 06/06 $413-415 Calls 
FUTU Weekly $38.50-40 Calls
QDEL 07/15 $85-95 Calls
