Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPY Explodes

SPDR S&P500 (ETF) SPY – Options Update

We have got a very brief update for today’s newsletter concerning our fresh options trading idea from yesterday morning in the SPY Chain. We cautioned readers that after Friday’s market sell-off, we looked to be in line for a  ‘dead-cat bounce’ for stocks, and that is exactly what occurred.

Our idea was to track the SPY Weekly $287-288.50 Calls as the markets reversed, and not only did we get the rebound we were after, but the gains persisted throughout the entirety of the session.

That made for some truly spectacular profit possibilities, especially the $288 Calls, which produced an epic intraday upswing: 

SPY Weekly $287-288.50 Calls
$287 Calls – Range: .17-1.35 – Max Gain: 694%
$287.50 Calls – Range: .05-.91 – Max Gain: 1720%
$288 Calls – Range: .01-.43 – Max Gain: 4200%
$288.50 Calls – Range: .01-.07 – Max Gain: 600%

Updated Idea: 
We would like to update this SPY idea to stay close to the action, and will be tracking the
SPY 08/28 $288.50-290.50 Calls through today and into tomorrow.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FAST Review & More

Fastenal Co. FAST – Recap

We have had a continuous run of good fortune with our past several options calls over the last few weeks, and we continued to press our luck yesterday in signaling a range of options ideas for FAST.

We highlighted the FAST Weekly $50-55 Calls  as our fresh idea in yesterday morning’s premarket report, and not only did each of them provide chances for single-session profits, but they did so in absolutely grand fashion.

Serious multi-bag moves were on the menu regardless of which of the three strike points in our selected range was chosen by traders, with the $55’s being the most eye-popping with 38-bagger!

$50 Calls – Range: 1.65-6.50 – Max Gain: 294%
$52.50 Calls – Range: .45-4.00 – Max Gain: 789%
$55 Calls – Range: .05-1.98 – Max Gain: 3860%

Fresh Idea :
Delta Airlines, Inc. DAL Weekly $49.50-51.50 Calls


Idera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. IDRA

We also want to place IDRA on bottom watch this morning after noticing how oversold the stock has become.

A merger agreement, one that wasn’t particularly favored to begin with, was cancelled, causing a big selloff. The kicker, is a literal ‘kicker’, a cancellation fee of $6M payable to IDRA by the proposed merger partner. That’s why we feel now is a good time to begin watching IDRA for a possible bottom bounce.
