Recapping Wednesday’s Movers, 3 New Targets

Wednesday’s Winners:

We fared decently on Wednesday, with two-thirds of our potential options ideas stemming from earnings in our premarket report registering solid intraday moves in a positive direction. Given that we typically rely upon big name companies dropping their earnings report for the bulk of our interests, things have gotten slightly thin this week. From the looks of the earnings calendar, this earnings dry period should persist only until the last week of this month.

As for yesterday’s movers, we had the CALM 04/19 $60-65 Calls, and the PLAY 04/19 $65-70 Calls, both produce some good intraday opportunities. Here’s how their sessions played out:

CALM 04/19 $60-65 Calls
$60
: 2.35-3.70 (+57%)
$62.50: 1.30-2.10 (+61%)
$65: .55-1.10 (+100%)
_____

PLAY 04/19 $65-70 Calls
$65: 3.30-5.90 (+79%)
$70: 1.05-2.80 (+167%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
LEVI 04/19 $20-21 Calls
CAG Weekly $30-31 Calls
MNMD 04/19 $12 Calls


Integrated Cannabis Solutions Inc. (OTCMKT:IGPK) – Recap:

We also wanted to give a quick little update on the performance of IGPK over the past couple weeks. We had this stock in our extended watchlist from our report on 03/19, and have since observed a stellar run from a low of .0021 that day, to yesterday’s new high of .0143. That works out to an excellent upswing of 581%

Tuesday’s Runners, 4 Fresh Ideas

Good Start to the Short Week:

We got things off to a pretty good start on this holiday-shortened week, despite only formulating a couple of possible options plays for our readers. The two targets that we did highlight in our premarket report, certainly put up some very solid numbers across the board, with multibag gain potential in each set of contracts mentioned.

Those were the NVDA Weekly $547.50-550 Calls, and the GS Weekly $377.50-382.50 Calls, and and here were the intraday upswings they posted for Tuesday’s session:

NVDA Weekly $547.50-550 Calls
$547.50:
 9.54-22.70 (+140%)
$550: 7.95-20.65 (+160%)
_____

GS Weekly $377.50-382.50 Calls

$377.50: 3.63-8.75 (+141%)
$380: 2.35-7.13 (+203%)
$382.50: 1.73-5.40 (+212%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 01/17 $474-473 Puts*
NVDA Weekly $562.50-565 Calls
SCHW Weekly $64-62.50 Puts

We also want to enter a potential longer-term play on Spirit Airlines into the mix, which is getting crushed after a judge blocked its merger with Jet Blue. Even if it continues to fall a bit, we’re taking the position that a snap-back may occur shortly thereafter, so we’re going to track the SAVE 02/16 $5.00-7.50 Calls in the days and weeks ahead. 

*Only experienced traders should attempt to trade options contracts on their day of expiration

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Bottom-Play, Options & More

EnteroMedics Inc. ETRM

ETRM is the first in a group of plays that we’ve been familiar with in the past, that we’d like to circle back around to this morning.

We never stop looking out for stocks giving a bounce signal off of their 52-week lows, and ETRM raised that flag yesterday. The stock hit a new annual low (.123) as the short week kicked off on Tuesday, and yesterday’s session showed a clear rebound , trading between .14-.15, so we’ll just want to keep our eyes peeled for a mid-to-extended term recovery.


GW Pharmaceuticals plc GWPH

GWPH is another stock that we’ve had experiences with in the past, and today we’ve spotted a possible opportunity to take advantage of it once again.

On the flip-side of the coin from the previously mentioned play, GWPH has just hit its highest PPS since last October (104.58) yesterday on an epic single-day surge. That’s quite an impressive jump over its levels the last time we mentioned it in our reports, when it was trading just above $80.

Additionally, looking back over GWPH’s track record, it seems every time the stock makes a major move to the upside, there’s always a commensurate consolidation that follows. For this reason, we’re going to signal a range of extended-term puts in the GWPH options chain to track over the coming days and weeks.

Our four potential targets are going to be the GWPH 10/21 $105-90 Puts.


Rite Aid Corp. RAD

Also among stocks we’ve tracked at various times and for various reasons in the past, is RAD, though it has been quite some time since we last had our eyes on it closely.

Today we’ve been provided with an update on the status of the pending buyout of the company by Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) (>>View PR)

We’ll be watching the stock which is presently trading at a low multiple in the 8.30-range, as well as an options idea; the RAD Weekly $7.50 and $8 Calls, with the possibility of rolling up to the $8.50’s if and when the stock breaks its premarket high 8.42.
