Using Market Fears for Added Leverage

Deere & Co. DE 

We had a pair of options ideas set for the Deere chain in Friday’s premarket report, and despite the markets getting rocked, they managed some fantastic multi-bag gains for ourselves and our readers.

The targets were the Deere & Co. DE Weekly $175-177.50 Calls, and both contract sets recorded stupendous gains as the stock bucked the overall trend of the day.

DE Weekly $175-177.50 Calls
$175: 2.27-7.00 (+208%)
$177.50: .99-4.57 (+362%)


Fresh Options Ideas

The markets appear to be headed for another difficult session due to continued coronavirus fears among other things, so our fresh options ideas today will be bearish, with the exception of SON, which is exhibiting a good technical setup to put it on longer term watch for a possible rebound in the weeks and months ahead.

INTU Weekly $290-287.50 Puts
PANW Weekly $240-235 Puts
SON 04/17 $55-60 Calls

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Plays

MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. MCFT – Fresh Idea

We’ve picked up on a very interesting chart shape in Mastercraft this morning. The stock was well on its way to a solid recovery after bouncing off of its bottom at the end of last month. Despite the company’s earnings beat yesterday, the stock saw a gap-down followed by another bottom bounce.

We are interested in tracking the MCFT 10/18 $15-17.50 Calls in the weeks ahead, which will work out quite nicely if the stock manages another rebound similar to the one it exhibited in recent weeks.


Overstock.com Inc OSTK – Recap

The last time we tagged OSTK was a couple of weeks ago, on the morning of August 27th. We had scored some solid opportunities with short-term options in its chain the week before, but that report was a simple tag on the stock itself.

Subsequent to that highlight of OSTK, the stock saw a low of 14.72. That was followed by seven consecutive bull sessions by the stock, including yesterday’s which sent OSTK to a new high 27.38. That works out to an upswing of 86% in the month of September alone.


Fresh Options Idea:
SPY Weekly $301-302.50 Calls*

*Never trade weekly options on a Friday unless you are an advanced level trader with access to disposable funds!
