Harley Calls Pop & More

Harley-Davidson, Inc. HOG

Our fresh options trading idea for Harley on the heels of the company’s earnings report yesterday morning, was to track the Harley-Davidson, Inc. HOG Weekly $38.50-40 Calls. Sales fell in the company’s third fiscal quarter, but not by as much as was expected.

The report allowed HOG to buck the overall market downtrend on the day, and the move it made facilitated the following intraday opportunities in our designated contract sets:

$38.50 Calls – Range: .47-2.20 – Max Gain: 368%
$39 Calls – Range: .35-1.80 – Max Gain: 414%
$39.50 Calls – Range: .17-1.30 – Max Gain: 665%
$40 Calls – Range: .12-.99 – Max Gain: 725%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: IDXG Keeps Rolling & More

Interpace Diagnostics Group, Inc. IDXG

Yesterday morning, we were mentioning our call of IDXG from last Thursday, and subsequent run from a low of .72 to more than a dollar. It had reached a new high at 1.28 in the premarket and we said we wanted to see it register higher highs and higher lows en route to a more sustained rebound.

So far we’ve gotten just what we were looking for from IDXG, with the stock posting an intraday run of 24% from 1.17-1.54 for yesterday’s session. It pushed the overall move we’ve observed in under a week’s worth of trading into double-bag territory, having risen 114% thus far.

It was helped along by yesterday’s announcement that a large healthcare provider would be covering the company’s thyroid cancer screening tests, which is now covered for up to 250 million Americans. We’ll continue to keep a spot on our radars for IDXG, which was trading over the $2-mark as recently as May.


Alibaba Group Holding Ltd – Options Idea

Shares of BABA are streaking to new highs this morning as the company posted a solid beat on profits and revenue in its premarket earnings report.

The last time we visited an idea in the BABA chain was back on June 8th, when we signaled $140-145 Calls and saw them register single-session gains ranging from 1167-3160% so we are definitely familiar with what can happen in an ideal situation.

Today, given the fact of another similar scenario where earnings lead to a large gap up into blue skies, we’re going to be tracking contracts in the range of the BABA Weekly $162.50-170 Calls.
