Flawless Streak Intact, Fresh Plays for Wednesday

Options Runners:

We kept the options train rolling once again yesterday with another slate of solid ideas in our premarket report. It brought our tally to six straight trading days in which every single one of our idea panned out to some degree. We’re used to the vast majority of our ideas being worth at least some kind of intraday opportunity, but we are approaching the point where such a long streak of uninterrupted success is particularly notable.

Yesterday’s targets of interest were the HSBC Weekly $37-38 Calls, the UBER Weekly $34.50-36 Calls, and the NXPI Weekly $175-180 Calls, and the rundown of the intraday moves and total possible gains that were there for the taking, were as follows:

A 4-Pack of Fresh Options Plays

Options Puts Buck the Market Trend: 

We decided to go bearish on a couple of options ideas for yesterday morning’s premarket report, flying in the face of the market sentiment of the day. HAL and LMT were both coming off their earnings reports, and a short felt like the way to go.

Despite the markets roaring up, both of our ideas bucked the overall trend and recorded excellent moves on the day, providing ourselves and our readers with multibag intraday gain opportunities. Our specific targets were the HAL Weekly $41.50-40.50 Puts, and the LMT Weekly $465-460 Puts, and here were the excellent moves they put forth for the session:

HAL Weekly $41.50-40.50 Puts
$41.50: .45-1.10 (+144%)
$41: .33-.80 (+142%)
$40.50: .22-.53 (+141%)

LMT Weekly $465-460 Puts
$465: 
2.90-8.60 (+203%)
$460: 1.90-5.50 (+189%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
NFLX Weekly $$260-252.50 Puts
PG Weekly $160-162.50 Calls

Fresh Ideas for an Exciting Friday Finish

Dominos Pizza Inc. DPZ – Options Recap 

We have been very light on options plays over the past week or two, as we are still in a lull for earnings reporters, which are the typical catalysts that we use to take advantage of the inherent volatility that generally follows a quarterly number drop.

. We still have managed to find an opportunity here and there, and yesterday our instincts told us to go short on Dominos. We signaled the DPZ Weekly $427.50-417.50 Puts and saw some good moves

DPZ Weekly $427.50-417.50 Puts
$327.50
: 18.85-30.10 (+118%)
$325: 17.99-30.35 (+151%)
$322.50: 13.97-26.10 (+203%)
$320: 11.78-24.90 (+337%)
$317.50: 10.46-21.55 (+118%)

SPDR S&P500 (ETF) SPY – Options Idea

We have been tracking the $340-341 Calls throughout the week, and based on the solid progress we’ve seen there ansd the premarket activity we’re observing this morning, we’;ll go ahead roll up to the SPY Weekly $344-345 Calls to stay close to the action.


More Fresh Options Ideas

Despite having no earnings to push these along, here are a handful of options plays we’ll be tracking today:

CGC Weekly $18 Calls
X Weekly $8-9 Calls
BBBY Weekly $21-22 Calls 



Camber Energy, Inc. CEI – Recap

We also want to backtrack a bit to our September 25th call of CEI today following what has been a very respectable run for the stock.

The day after our tag of CEI, the stock saw a low of .5011 and hasn’t looked back. Yesterday, a very impressive intraday move carried it to a new high of 1.43, which works out to an increase of 185% over a span of just ten trading days!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: New Options Idea

Centene Corp. CNC

As we were just mentioning yesterday morning, we designated a pair of contracts to watch in the CNC chain toward the end of March, with the CNC 09/20 $50 & $55 Calls.

Since that time the stock has been in a near-continual uptrend, and after yet another bullish session yesterday, we have new highs to report on our ideas. The $50 Calls have now traded in a range from 1.80-9.50, amounting to a total move of 428%. The $55 Calls have been on an insane run, and they have thus far traded up from .31-6.70. That works out to a rise of 2,061% in a span of only nine trading sessions.


BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust BPT

Weve got another options chain that we ‘d like to signal some longer term calls in as well. BPT fell off a cliff yesterday, and while it may have slightly further to fall before reversing, the chart shows a history of rapid recoveries whenever the stock is beaten back as it has been this week.

We’re going to designate the BPT 05/17 $22.50-25 Calls as two contracts of interest and begin to track them over the days and weeks ahead.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TWTR Recap & More

Twitter, Inc. TWTR

Twitter posted its quarterly figures showing the company was nearing profitability, so we took the opportunity to signal a range of options, and what followed was Twitter’s biggest bullish session since last year, and some great chances for gains in our designated contracts, the TWTR Weekly $18-19.50 Calls.

$18 Calls – Range: 1.00-2.60 – Max Gain: 160%
$18.50 Calls – Range: .64-2.02 – Max Gain: 216%
$19 Calls
– Range: .38-1.65 – Max Gain: 334%
$19.50 Calls – Range: .18-1.15  – Max Gain: 539%

Fresh Ideas:

Microsoft Corp. MSFT Weekly $82-85 Calls*

Apple Inc. AAPL Weekly $157.50-160 Calls*

*Never trade options with a weekly expiration on a Friday unless you’re an expert trader with disposable funds. It’s just about as risky as it gets.


ITUS Corp. ITUS

We’ve been tracking ITUS since September 21st, subsequent to which point we witnessed a really great move in the stock from 1.92-5.15 for gains of up to 168% over just a few sessions.

In the past few weeks ITUS has been under consolidation, but yesterday the stock came down and kissed the 50DMA before bouncing. It’s gapping up this morning in the premarket, so we’ll want to watch closely for it to hold the 200DMA of 2.19 on any pullbacks. If it can manage that, we like the chances of seeing what could be more sizable moves for the stock in coming sessions.
