Cautious Yet Bold Options Strategy Keeps Bearing Fruit

Yesterday’s Options Success: 

It seems like the winds of fortune have been gusting in our favor for quite some time now, with the options targets we outlined in yesterday’s morning report all producing gain opportunities on some level. That makes for the fourth straight session in which every single one of our interests has given traders a shot as compounding their funds.

Our daily focus was trained on the AVAV 07/15 $75-70 Puts, the GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls, and the MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts, which all put forth some measure of intraday run in what amounted to a bit of a choppy day for the markets as a whole. Things in that regard have become rather harder to predict, but we’ve been trying very hard to select potential plays with a good risk/reward balance. Here’s where our efforts led yesterday:

AVAV 07/15 $75-70 Puts
$75: 
2.49-4.49 (+80%)
$70: 1.29-2.20 (+71%)
_____

GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls
$70: 
2.50-5.10 (+104%)
$72.50: 1.05-3.07 (+192%)

MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts 
$90: 6.00-7.20 (+20%)
$85: 2.01-3.37 (+68%)

Ending the Trading Week on a High Note

Bearish Plays Yield Gains:

We have been shrewdly hitting on big options plays this week, and we carried that trend through yesterday’s session. Things looked grim for stocks in the premarket, so we signaled a couple of bearish ideas to take advantage of the day’s sentiment. It worked like a charm, with both of our designated sets of puts providing ample opportunity for intraday gains.

We were targeting the PATH 04/14 $25-22.50 Puts, and the WBA Weekly $47.50-46.50 Puts, and got some very nice movement from those plays, with ranges and percentage gains as follows:

PATH 04/14 $25-22.50 Puts
$25:
 2.20-4.71 (+114%)
$22.50: .95-2.65 (+179%)
_____

WBA Weekly $47.50-46.50 Puts

$47.50: 2.27-3.27 (+44%)
$47: 1.52-2.77 (+82%)
$46.50: 1.30-2.20 (+69%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 04/01 $452-453 Calls*
BABA Weekly $112-116 Calls*
YETI 05/20 $70-75 Calls
AEHR 04/14 $10-12.50 Calls 

*Please do not attempt to trade options contracts on their day of expiration unless you are an experienced trader with access to disposable funds.

Explosive Gains in the YETI Chain & More

More SPY Updates:

In yesterday morning’s premarket report, we mentioned that we felt the markets were due for a reversal off of the bearish trend they had established up to that point. After tracking some very nice gains in SPY Puts over that span, we flip-flopped and targeted some SPY Calls fresh for yesterday’s report.

Those were the SPY 05/14 $406-407.50 Calls and they produced considerable intraday movement that could have been seized upon by anyone who caught our alert. Here are the double-bag moves and total possible gains that were on the table there:

 SPY 05/14 $406-407.50 Calls.
$406: 3.32-6.70 (+102%)
$407: 2.76-5.82 (+111%)
$407.50: 2.46-5.40 (+120%)

We also want to roll up to the SPY 05/14 $411-412.50 Calls* for today’s session.


YETI Holdings Inc. YETI

We also formulated some ideas for the YETI chain that recorded some simply earth-shattering gains on the day yesterday. The was the star idea of our daily report, yielding some truly fantastic gain opportunities for ourselves and our readers.

Uncovering gainers of such magnitude is a common occurrence on our newsletters and website (BlueHorseshoeStocks.com), and still, every time it happens it produces a similar feeling of exhilaration! Here were the absolutely massive intraday runs logged by those calls.

YETI Weekly $83-85 Calls 
$83: .48-3.10 (+546%)
$84: .05-2.50 (+4900%)

Quick-Strike SPY Gains & More

SPY Puts Tack on More Gains:

On Tuesday morning, a couple days into this week’s persistent market selloff, we signaled some SPY Puts which we talked about in yesterday’s report. The SPY 05/12 $415-413 Puts had already produced multibag runs, but yesterday’s grim day for stocks helped produce further activity in our bearish contracts of interest.

Here are the new highs established by those plays during yesterday’s session, and the total moves we’ve witnessed since our alert on Tuesday morning:

SPY 05/12 $415-413 Puts
$415: 
1.99-10.04 (+404%)
$414: 1.66-9.11 (+448%)
$413: 1.33-8.45 (+535%)

Fresh SPY Idea: With good jobs figures and a number of other factors, we think today may be the day that the markets shake the rust off, so we’re going to hop over to the other side of the fence and go bullish with the SPY 05/14 $406-407.50 Calls.


Unity Software, Inc. U – Recap

We also had signaled a range of earnings plays yesterday in the premarket, and it was the
U 05/21 $85-90 Calls that most effectively bucked the trend of the day.

Those targets didn’t produce massive eye-popping gains on the session, but they did record these very respectable intraday runs and gain possibilities:

U 05/21 $85-90 Calls
$85: 2.20-4.09 (+86%)
$90: 1.05-2.24 (+113%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Updates, Options Ideas

Spectrum Global Solutions, Inc. SGSI

We wanted to circle back around to mention SGSI this morning, and pass along some media from the company that does not appear in its official news feed.

The president of Spectrum Global gave an interview on the company, and we would highly suggest that our readers take the time to check that video out. Additionally, for anyone who may have missed our initial special report on SGSI, it would be a good idea to give that a look as well.

Spectrum had a really solid year of growth in 2018 and we are very excited about the company’s prospects for the coming New Year.

Riot Blockchain, Inc. RIOT

We also want to place RIOT on recovery watch this morning. The stock, along with the price of Bitcoin, has been beaten up for quite some time now, but may be seeing some stabilization, especially with investor confidence in traditional securities being at perhaps the lowest point in the whole of 2018.

RIOT saw the beginnings of a bottom-bounce yesterday, and we’re going to want to monitor it into year’s end for the potential of a more sustained rebound.


Fresh Options Ideas:
DRI Weekly $95-105 Calls
ORCL Weekly $47-48 Calls

JNJ Weekly $130-133 Calls
(In addition to continuing to monitor the 01/25 $135-140 Calls we signaled yesterday)
