Looking for a Big Start to the Week

The Clorox Co. CLX – Recap

Our sole fresh options trading idea on Friday was in the CLX chain and came on the heels of the company’s earnings drop. Bleach definitely has a big role to play during the coronavirus pandemic based on a need to keep surfaces as disinfected as possible, making this a high synergy play.

The single-session gains our idea produced during Friday’s session are certainly indicative of that, with huge multi-bag rips across the board:

CLX Weekly $190-195 Calls
$190: .90-7.50 (+733%)
$192.50:  .63-5.69 (+801%)
$195: .41-3.33 (+712%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Bottom Watch Plays

Activision Blizzard, Inc. ATVI

Despite beating on earnings in its postmarket release yesterday afternoon, ATVI reported fewer monthly active subscribers, and the stock has taken a gut punch as a result, falling to new annual lows in the mid-$50’s. The stock hasn’t seen a PPS this low since last December, and it went on to have a post-holiday run into March of this year, and yet another in the spring.

While we don’t expect an exact repeat of history, at present the stock is highly oversold, and we want to set up a longer-term recovery play to place on watch today and monitor going forward. We’ll be looking at the ATVI 01/18 $55-62.50 Calls for this purpose.


Bunge Ltd. BG

We’ve also taken notice of an interesting setup on BG, which has been recently trading at a double bottom, and whose CEO just picked up nearly a hundred million dollars worth of the stock here at these lows. He was also joined by another insider which submitted a pair of Form-4’s for the purchase of roughly $40M.

That’s an incredibly large bet on the part of the company’s leader, far out of the realm of simply trying to prop up his company’s stock. To invest that kind of money, would seem to imply a firm inside belief that BG won’t go much lower than what we’ve seen in the past week or so. We’ll place this stock on a Form-4 Bottom Watch moving forward, and monitor for the possibility of a nice rebound.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PTOP Keeps Rolling & More

Peer to Peer Network PTOP

PTOP has been the main point of focus on the stock side of things for us this week, keeping us coming back to update the fantastic gains it has made. The stock has been setting new highs by leaps and bounds. Just yesterday morning we were pointing out the 7025% gain we’d seen since our initial alert on the stock on November 8th after which time it would trade for as low as .0004, before running all the way to .0285.

Yesterday that incredible range was stretched even further, as PTOP broke out to yet another new high, trading in a daily range from .027 to .067 (+148%). It brought the stock to its highest PPS in the last five years, and our own observed six-week surge to a monumental total of 16,650%


AT&T, Inc. T Options Update

We highlighted and began tracking a range of options for AT&T back on November 9th, and wanted to circle back this morning to update the progress on those as T stock has continually trended upward ever since.

Our targets were the T 01/19 $34-36 Calls, and the ranges we’ve seen on those contracts have been rather impressive. The following figures represent the lows shortly after our first alert o the new highs achieved this week.   .

$34 Calls – Range: .91-5.30 – Max Gain: 482%
$35 Calls – Range: .53-4.30 – Max Gain: 711%
$36 Calls – Range: 37-3.30 – Max Gain: 792%

Fresh Idea:  Nike. Inc. NKE – After a post-market earnings letdown yesterday, combined with an already toppy chart, we may look for the possibility of gains in the NKE Weekly $64-62.50 Puts* to close out the week.

* Never trade weekly options on a Friday unless you’re an expert trader with disposable funds. It’s very risky!
