Reviewing Big Runners, 3 Ideas to End the Short Week

A Winning Wednesday:

We’re wrapping up this short four day trading week today in good fashion, with a slate of big movers to review from our premarket report yesterday. We offered up three possible plays and all three were wildly successful. That included once again playing the SPY and choosing the right side of the fence to come down on with some puts, which absolutely soared as the markets endured another brutal session.

Our interests for Wednesday were the SPY 04/16 $534-533 Puts, the ASML Weekly $660-655 Puts, and the IBKR Weekly $160 Puts. Here were the huge multibag runs they recorded:

SPY 04/16 $534-533 Puts

Monday’s Movers, 4 New Potential Plays

Reviewing Monday’s Runners:

We got off to a fairly good start for the week on Monday. We put forth three possibilities for options daytrades in our premarket report. and two of them came back with solid gain opportunities on the day. We missed just one of our ideas from Friday as well, so we’ll be doing our best to try to get better on track starting today. Two out of three isn’t half bad, as they say, however we try to hold ourselves to the absolute highest standard.

As for the two successful picks, we had the TSLA Weekly $397-400 Calls, and the NVDA Weekly $141-140 Puts, and both of those targets made some nice moves:

TSLA Weekly $397-400 Calls
$397.50: 
4.43-7.99 (+80%)
$400: 3.90-7.28 (+87%)
_____

NVDA Weekly $141-140 Puts
$141: 2.89-4.69 (+62%)
$140: 2.05-4.00 (+95%)

Monday’s Movers, 4 New Possibilities

Monday’s Runners:

We got off to a pretty good start for the fresh trading week on Monday, having offered up three potential plays in our premarket report, two of which produced instantaneous opportunities. It was a decent way to get things going on a quiet week that began without any earnings or economic impact reports. Things are quiet again today on the earnings front, but we should see the volume of reporters pick up over the course of the week.

As for yesterday’s runners, we had the GBX 07/19 $45 Puts and the INTC Weekly $32-33 Calls make some really nice moves for us. We’ll also roll up on INTC which still looks good for some further positive activity today.

GBX 07/19 $45 Puts
$45:
 .90-3.64 (+304%)
_____

INTC Weekly $32-33 Calls
$32: 1.02-2.12 (+108%)
$32.50: .75-1.71 (+128%)
$33: .53-1.31 (+147%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
INTC Weekly $34.50 Calls
NVDA Weekly $129-130 Calls
SPY 07/09 $555-556 Calls*
HELE 07/19 $70-65 Puts

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: QURE Recap & More

uniQure N.V. QURE

We included QURE in our premarket report on Thursday, after the company’s hemophilia gene therapy treatment was advanced to Phase III testing.

What followed was an enormous influx of volume, and two really solid, bullish sessions, advancing from a low of 11.55 on Thursday to a new high of 19.34 on Friday. That works out to a very respectable two-day swing of 67%

It’s the highest PPS QURE has attained since 2015, and the two sessions come in at numbers 1 and 2 highest volume days of all time, so we’d say our alert was timed with absolute precision.


Organovo Holdings, Inc. ONVO

We included ONVO in Friday morning’s extended watchlist, and it also put up a pretty good performance on the day.

From a low of 1.45, the stock traded as high as 1.80 on fairly heavy volume. We’ll want to see the stock continue to establish higher highs and higher lows as it’s coming off of its bottom.


PetMed Express, Inc. PETS

We’d like to signal a post-earnings options idea for PETS this morning, after the company set new records with its Q2 numbers. It’s gapping up significantly in the premarket, and the volume it traded on Friday leading into the release was the highest all month.  We’re going to put the PETS 11/17 $40-50 Calls on watch moving forward.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Updates, Options & More

First thing’s first- we have a few of updates from our premarket report on Tuesday, that we held over until today in favor of the Special Report which we published yesterday.

Neothetics, Inc. NEOT

One of the real standouts from our premarket report on Tuesday morning turned out to be NEOT, which stair-stepped its way steadily up the chart all day long.

From its low of .83, the stock traded up as high as 1.99, which worked out to an intraday increase of 140% and the move occurred on extremely high volume, to the tune of more than 85X the monthly average.

Yesterday, NEOT transitioned into consolidation mode off of that impressive high, so we’ll be monitoring it for support, because the recent volatility suggests that a significant rebound could ensue.


 TransEnterix, Inc. TRXC

We caught TRXC on Monday after it was reported that the company’s robotic surgery device got regulatory approval. The result was a very nice run from a low of  2.15 to 3.05 (+42%) on that day. Tuesday, we mentioned that we’d be on the lookout for further gains, and the stock did go on to hit new highs.

Tuesday TRXC ran from 3.28 all the way up to an even 5.00, an intraday gain of 52% and an overall increase of 133% from our observed low at the beginning of this week.

Yesterday, much like NEOT, TRXC began to pull back, and so we’ll also want to continuie watching this one for a potential dip-and-rip type formation.


Firefish, Inc. FRFS – Chatroom Call

FRFS was .0047 when we alerted it our trader’s chatroom on Tuesday morning. As of yesterday’s high of .077, we had witnessed a mind-blowing two-day swing of 1538% With the kind of price action and volatility we’ve seen exhibited by FRFS in the past two days, we’ll definitely want to keep our eyes peeled for further activity.

This play is another good example of why we encourage our members to get involved with this aspect of our daily activities. Ideas that come to us after 9AM Eastern don’t make it into our premarket reports, so the chats are your way to keep up with what’s moving in real time.

These Skype-based live chats are open to any of our readers. Just send a contact request to the username “stocksumo”.


Ulta Beauty, Inc ULTA – Options Idea

We’re looking at ULTA as a potential recovery play into the holiday season, as the stock just bounced off of a new annual low this week. Last week, a huge block of insider buying came in, on the order of more than $21M.

For some extended-term recovery ideas, we’re going to signal  and track the ULTA 12/01 $202.50-212.50 Calls and the 12/15 $210-225 Calls.
