6-Pack of New Options Ideas

Yesterday’s Trend Buckers:  

We went mostly bullish on our earnings plays from yesterday morning’s premarket report, and despite the markets performing horribly yesterday, we still still managed to see some really nice intraday upswings out of our targeted group, toward the end of the session. They all posted runs of a significant nature into the close, so all in all it was a solid day for us.

Those targets were the ROKU Weekly $89-92 Calls, the GTLB Weekly $51-53 Calls, the AVAV 09/15 $110-115 Calls, and the PLAB 09/15 $22.50-20 Puts. The rundown of their best moves on the day went as follows:

Earnings Plays on the Move

Fidelity Intl. Information Services, Inc. FIS – Options Recap:

Our lone fresh options idea for the day in yesterday’s premarket report was in the FIS chain. The stock saw a mixed bag for the session as the company posted beats on earnings and revs in its Q2 report, while tempering guidance pulled in the other direction.

We still had some very nice intraday movement in our designated target, the FIS 09/17 $135 Calls. Those ran from 1.80 to 2.96, producing a respectable intraday upswing of 49% We feel rather certain that we will be returning to report more gains on this longer-term play, with over five weeks remaining until expiration. Stay locked in for future updates.

Catapult Solutions, Inc. CPSL:

We also wanted to provide a quick recap on CPSL, which has appeared in our watchlists a few times over the past week. We initially alerted it exactly a week ago today on the morning of July 28th.

We have now observed a very impressive move out of CPSL from a low of .0261 to yesterday’s high of .0648, which works out to a 148% run. Volume over the same period has been vastly greater than average.

Fresh Options Ideas:
EXPI 08/20 $40-45 Calls
ATVI Weekly $82-85 Calls
MCHP Weekly $147-149 Calls

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: GERN Recap & More

Geron Corp. GERN – Recap
It’s all well and good to seek out stocks that are set to make a big jump overnight, but slower growth plays also interest us greatly. GERN is an example of a stock that we tagged near the beginning of last month (02.05) which has performed well over an extended period of several weeks.

Subsequent to our tag of GERN, the stock saw a low of 2.025, and in a series of small, incremental daily gains, it steadily made its way up to a high of 4.47 yesterday, representing an increase of 121%. That’s a very respectable gain in roughly a six week period.

Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. WHLR

We want to take this opportunity to place WHLR on watch as a potential bottom-play. The stock has been greatly abused over the past several months, falling well below all its moving averages, and reaching egregiously oversold territory. There is also a fairly large gap on chart to the upside, something for which we routinely look.

We’ll keep an eye on WHLR in sessions to come looking for the confirmation of a bounce. It certainly has plenty of room to run when that occurs, so keep a sharp eye out.
