Friday’s Multi-Baggers, Fresh Ideas

GPS, WDAY Options Recaps:

As is our custom, we’re kicking off this new trading week by scanning back to our performance on Friday. Our longer-term calls didn’t impress just yet, but both of the quick-strike ideas we had for weekly calls did produce some nice chances for us on the day.

We were zeroed in on the GPS Weekly $27-28.50 Calls and the WDAY Weekly $255-270 Calls following the Gap and Workday’s earnings drops, and were afforded some very nice intraday gain opportunities, with only one contract set in our designated ranges falling shy of multi-bag gainer status.

GPS Weekly $27-28.50 Calls
$27: .18-.46 (+156%)
$27.50: .09-.21 (+133%)
$28: .09-.17 (+89%)
$28.50: .11-.44 (+300%)

WDAY Weekly $255-270 Calls
$255:
 9.07-19.80 (+118%)
$260: 5.20-14.75 (+184%)
$265: 2.24-10.00 (+346%)
$270: .95-5.40 (+468%)

We’re not going to rule out Friday’s longer-term September Calls in HIBB from going green yet, with nearly three weeks remaining until expiration.

Perfect Sweep on Options, Fresh Ideas

Hot Options Runners:

We got right back into the swing of things with potential options trades yesterday morning. Our premarket report contained a trio of fresh earnings-related ideas, and we hit the trifecta, with each and every one of our targets producing huge multibag moves on the day. It’s a uniquely satisfying, yet quite common event around here for us to hit on every idea we formulate on a given day.

Our contracts of interest in this case were the PANW Weekly $400-415 Calls, the PDD Weekly $89-92 Calls, and the BBY Weekly $116-119 Calls. We were very pleased with each and every move we observed in those designated ranges, which all gave traders ample opportunities to reap quick profits.

Friday’s Options Ideas

Our closing thoughts in Friday’s premarket report were in regard to the activity we were seeing in the VXX. It was trending several percentage points above its 50DMA and we went ahead and signals our interest in tracking the VXX $20-22 Calls, with an accompanying idea of SPY $206-203 Puts.

For the second Friday in a row, the options chains of this ETN and ETF provided us with the chance to pull down huge single-session gains:

$20 Calls – Trading Range: 1.09-3.74  – Max Gain: 243%
$20.50 Calls – Trading Range: .75-3.20  – Max Gain: 327%
$21 Calls – Trading Range: .44-2.69 – Max Gain: 511%
$21.50 Calls – Trading Range: .11-.2.29 – Max Gain: 1981%
$22 Calls – Trading Range: .11-1.84 – Max Gain: 1572%

The SPY Puts also worked out, although the potential gains weren’t quite as dramatic. For example the $203.50 Puts ran from .54-1.99; a comparatively modest, yet still excellent intraday move of 268%

We did a quick video highlighting these and a few other great calls made last week:


Another Big Chatroom Play

As our regular readers are aware, we’ve been calling more attention to the daily live traders chats that we conduct on Skype (Send contact request to ‘stocksumo‘ to join in!) so folks have a chance to get in on some of the hot plays that get presented to the room. For the third time in the past few weeks, chatroom member ‘DJ’ produced a gem. The following snapshot from Thursday afternoon’s chat contains his signal to the group:

What happened subsequent to that on Friday morning was nothing short of jaw-dropping. RGDXQ simply exploded as it came out of the gate at a low of .0024 and soared an impressive 900% to the high-of-day at .024 early on in the session. That was followed by a few significant swings later on as well. Excellent work by DJ in giving us the early-warning on that one!

Our current trader’s chats are free and open to anyone for a limited time only, so get on Skype and send a contact request to ‘stocksumo‘ to join in!


HydroPhi Technologies Group, Inc. HPTG

We had HPTG tagged in Friday’s morning report as well, and despite a pullback early on in the session the stock did make a nice rebound. After dipping to .0032 it regained ground back to .0048, which amounts to a 50% swing. The close came just a couple of ticks below at .0046, so we’ll definitely leave this stock on our radars for the time being.

The PR that helped fuel Friday’s activity (link below) highlighted a pair of significant acquisitions made by HPTG, so we’ll also be interested to track that aspect of the story.
