Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SRPT Options Through the Roof & More

Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. SRPT – Update

We caught SRPT Wednesday on the heels of the stock’s 52-week low, and immediately pounced with an options idea. The SRPT Weekly $10.50 and $11 Calls produced gains of 237% and 159% respectively that day, and when we followed up in yesterday’s premarket report, we made sure readers understood that those gains would “pale in comparison” to the ones we expected once the session kicked off. We were absolutely correct.

The $10.50’s which we caught at .40 on Wednesday, set a new high of 4.23 to extend our total possible gains to 958%   $11’s whose low from Wednesday was .39 rushed to a high of 4.04, marking a two-day swing of 936%

Pertaining to SRPT stock itself, the two-session move has been impressive there as well, trading up in a range from 8.00 to 15.38, for a highly respectable 92% increase. Cheers to any of our followers who caught on with SRPT, because there were profits to be made across the board!

Chatroom Reminder

We don’t inundate our readers with reminders about our daily live traders chats (Open to all, just send a Skype contact request to ‘stocksumo‘) but every so often we like to give everyone a peek into what typically goes on.

We had our old friend DJ provide the room with a trio of ideas at midday in the shipping sector and all three (PRGN, EGLE and DRYS) continued to stack on some serious gains subsequent to the alert.

Once again, we welcome participation on any level from all of our readers, even if you just want to drop in and see what’s buzzing in the room. Just send that Skype contact request to our very own ‘stocksumo’ and he’ll get you in right away!

Bonus Shipping Play: We also want to add GLBS to the list of shippers we’ll be monitoring after this sector-wide momentum boost. We’re looking for a continuation of that today and possibly into next week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Ideas & More

Gilead Sciences, Inc. GILD – Options

We’ve been hot on the trail of GILD Calls since Wednesday, when we brought forth the idea of using the $97 and $98 Calls to take advantage of GILD recovery from a beating it had taken following a mixed-result earnings call. Both sets of contracts brought us the chance to make major gains that day, with the 97’s and 98’s making moves of 226% and 253% respectively.

We reaffirmed our interest in those same calls in yesterday’s premarket report, and for the second day in a row, we were extremely pleased with the intraday opportunities afforded to us.

The $97 Calls, after trading as low as .79, would go on to set a daily high of 2.20, a 178% rip. The $98 Calls went on a run from 1.27 to as much as 3.05, a 140% increase.

Cheers go out to anyone else who was able to take advantage of our meticulous coverage of this excellent play this mid-week. It’s just the latest in a long line of great options trading ideas we’ve had so far in 2015, so even if you’ve missed everything up to this point, you’re not too late, because we have no intention of slowing down now!

Fresh Options Ideas

Twitter, Inc. TWTR

Twitter had an earnings beat post-market yesterday, and as a result the stock is gapping up significantly this morning. Our next potential area of interest is going to be with the TWTR $45 Calls. (Last Traded @ 1.00)

LinkedIn Corp. LNKD

Another social media earnings beater was LNKD, and in this case we’re going to be looking at Calls in the $260-263 range.  ($260’s last trade: 2.32 –  $262.50’s last trade: 2.00)

Rich Pharmaceuticals, Inc. RCHA

In addition to yesterday’s successful options plays was a stock we also mentioned in our morning report that went on to behave exactly as we predicted.

After making a huge run that topped 1700% the day prior, we mentioned our expectation that RCHA would pull back off of its extreme highs and offer us a subsequent bounceplay, and indeed it did.

The stock came down as low as .0091 before recovering to a daily high of .019. That was good for gains of up to 109% on the rebound.

PPHM | Peregrine Pharmaceuticals Inc & Extended Watchlist

Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. PPHM

We’ve had PPHM on our radars for the better part of a month now. In that time, there has been quite a few opportunities to get in and out at a nice profit. At the time of our first alert, on August 14th, it experienced one of its biggest volume days ever, trading over 12.5M shares.  We reminded our members of PPHM’s explosiveness last Thursday. On Friday, the stock traded a whopping 29M shares, accompanied by a significant price increase. The stock touched a low of 2.68 before surging 90% to 5.08, and closing at 4.50. With all of the increased interest and activity, we want to keep an eye on PPHM moving forward.

The company had a lot of news out last week outlining various developments, including its intent to release financials today, premarket.

Side Note: The APPL $680 Calls that appeared in our extended watchlist on Friday, at one point ran from .90 to nearly 3.00. Apple options continue to be an ongoing source of profits for us.
