Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPY Updates

SPDR S&P500 (ETF) SPY – Recap 

Thanks to a solid day for the markets yesterday, the successful options idea we dropped for the SPY on Monday morning turned in yet another huge day of potential profits. We had signaled the SPY Weekly $287-288.50 Calls as our first idea of the week, and it has been one of the best ones of the year in terms of percentage gains, already having produced intraweek ranges of up to 4000%

Each of the four contract sets in our highlighted range produced further multi-bag intraday rips of the following magnitude yesterday: 

$287 Calls – Range: .43-2.04 – Max Gain: 374%
$287.50 Calls – Range: .32-1.58 – Max Gain: 316%
$288 Calls – Range: .20-1.46 – Max Gain: 630%
$288.50 Calls – Range: .16-1.01 – Max Gain: 531%

We will also be watching the SPY Weekly $290-292 Calls in the event that the current momentum of the markets carries through to the end of the week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Bearish Options Ideas

AutoDesk Inc. ADSK 

With things looking choppy for the markets this morning, we are going to turn to a bearish idea for ADSK despite the company’s beat on Q2 earnings yesterday after market hours. The stock began to crumble under the weight of ADSK’s weak Q3 guidance. The poor outlook given, combined with the flow of market tides, could be just the thing for bearish options contracts, namely the ADSK Weekly $135-132 Puts.

There are those of the belief that ADSK stock was already valued too high leading into yesterday’s report, which is why we feel confident choosing to go short at the present time.

TIF Weekly $82-79 Puts 

The Buckle, Inc. BKE – Update

We would also like to update readers on another recent idea we floated. On Friday morning, we selected the BKE 09/20 $17.50-20 Calls for a longer-term options idea, and already it has borne fruit just a few sessions later.

The $17.50 Calls have run from a low of .95 and reached 2.31, marking a gain of 143%  Meanwhile the $20’s have soared by an even higher margin, trading in a range from .20 up to .72, which works out to a 260% run.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: LAHO Recap & More

Lans Holdings, Inc. LAHO

When we picked up on LAHO on Tuesday, it was what we refer to as a super-subpenny stock, trading at a low of just .0005/share. Over the past two sessions it has made an incredible move. Yesterday, after gapping up in the morning, LAHO went on to set a new high of .0017, which works out to a 48-hour swing of 240%

Following that high, the stock came back down to fill the gap it left, and we are going to want to see .0009 hold as support in order to give us a good likelihood of seeing further moves from LAHO in the near-term, but as it currently stands, it has already been a great intraweek play for us no matter how you slice it.

FRESH OPTIONS IDEAS

We’ve also got a pair of options ideas from companies that have untraded-upon earnings reports. We’re bearish on Palo Alto Networks, which reported yesterday post-market, and bullish on Dollar General, whose report dropped this morning in the premarket, including a solid beat on both earnings and same-store sales for the quarter.

PANW $202.50-200 Puts
DG $122-124 Calls
