Options Recaps, 4 Ideas for Friday

A Thunderous Thursday:

Things could not have gone much better for us on Thursday, with the entire slate of potential plays we highlighted in our premarket report coming through with some really nice intraday upswings. We had four possible target ranges containing eleven contract sets. They all posted solid moves up, and ten out of those eleven recorded multibag runs, making it another interesting day for us.

Nikola Corp. (NASDAQ:NKLA) – Recap:

We’ve got an update on NKLA, which we have been mentioning all summer, after initially tagging it on the morning of June 14th. From its low of .99, we’ve now seen this stock surge to a new high of 3.71 yesterday. That represents a steady 275% increase over roughly the last six weeks.

_____

Tupperware Brands Corp. (NYSE:TUP) – Recap:

As we were just mentioning the other day, we have been on TUP since July 12th, after which time the stock was trading for as little as .61. Even after registering impressive the new highs that we reported this week, the stock continued to surge, printing a trade at 7.25 yesterday post-market. That works out to a total increase of 1088% in the few weeks we’ve been tailing it!

A Winning Wednesday, 5 New Ideas

Winning Wednesday:

We kept things moving along swimmingly on Wednesday with regard to the options ideas in our premarket report for the day. We put in a pretty good mix of short-term and longer-term ideas, as well as bears and bulls. Three out of our four interests produced instant results, and the fourth (IHF) we’ll put on the back burner, as we feel it will still produce the activity we’re looking for in the days and weeks ahead.

Our hot hands for the day were our other targets, which were the FDX Weekly $230-225 Puts, the WGO 07/21 $60-55 Puts, and the PDCO 07/21 $31-33 Calls. From those we got several chances for multi-bag profits on the session, and those moves were as follows:

FDX Weekly $230-225 Puts
$230:
 1.91-6.29 (+229%)
$227.50: 1.17-4.25 (+263%)
$225: .63-2.56 (+306%)
_____

WGO 07/21 $60-55 Puts
$60:
 .85-1.75 (+106%)
$55: .27-.60 (+122%)
_____

PDCO 07/21 $31-33 Calls
$31:
 .45-1.97 (+338%)
$32: .70-1.50 (+114%)
$33: .50-.75 (+50%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
DRI 07/21 $165-155 Puts

BEKE Review, 4 Fresh Options Plays

BEKE Recap:

With both of the options plays we signaled for observation yesterday morning being of the longer-term variety, we don’t have any immediate turnaround to report on those. However we do have an update on another longer-term options strike that we’ve been watching.

We highlighted the BEKE 09/16 $15-17.50 Calls a little under three weeks ago on the morning of the 23rd, and as we’ve cruised through this trading week en route to their expiration today, we’ve seen these plays make some very respectable moves, even as the landscape for options trading continues to taper as we head through another dry period for reporters.

BEKE 09/16 $15-17.50 Calls
$15: 
1.41-3.65 (+70%)
$17.50: .50-1.45 (+191%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 09/16 $387-384 Puts*
FAST 10/21 $47.50-50 Calls
NTLA Weekly $70-65 Puts*
ADBE Weekly $305-300 Puts*

*Please don’t try to trade options on their day of expiration unless you are a well-seasoned trader. Not something for you beginners to attempt just yet, but we’ll get you there! 


Nu-Med Plus Inc. NUMD – Recap:

For a more recent rehash, we just signaled NUMD as a potential OTC runner in yesterday morning’s extended watchlist, and the stock responded with quite the solid session. From a daily low of .028 the stock ripped all the way up to a high of .0605, which works out to an intraday pop on the order of a very respectable 116%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: BMXI Recap & More

Brookmount Explorations Inc. BMXI

Having written our daily newsletters for such a long time, occasionally we run back across a stock that we haven’t seen in quite some time, and that was the case with BMXI. Before yesterday’s signal on it, we hadn’t mentioned it since May of 2012 back when it was regularly trading in the subpenny range.

It found its way to our radar screens and into our premarket report yesterday morning on word of a promotion (Disclosure: We were not involved in the deal), and what followed was one of the biggest breakouts the stock has ever had. From a low of .0831 it soared to a new all-time high of .1279 . That’s an intraday gain of 54% which came on enormous volume.


Delta Air Lines, Inc. DAL – Options Idea

Our regular followers know that we’re always on the lookout to take advantage of the hype-fueled moves that stocks tend to make following an earnings report, using their options chains. Delta whiffed on profits this quarter, falling well short of expectations on the Street, and despite issuing solid guidance for Q3, we want to signal a range of short-term puts to watch into the end of the week.

DAL stock was already at a top, and in a price range where profit-takers could be a factor as well. For that reason, we are going to radar the DAL Weekly $55.50-53.50 Puts.


OncBioMune Pharmaceuticals, Inc. OBMP

OBMP had an update that it issued this morning on its mid-stage cancer treatment (>>View PR), but our interest is really being drawn to this play for technical reasons.

As you can see below, the stock recently established a new annual low, followed by a rebound off of that low, and now it is making its way back down to find support. We will be interested in this as a potential rebound play in the event that the stock maintains support at or above a nickel. We’re presently looking at an impending bearish cross on the MACD so we’ll see if the stock can hang in there without losing more than a penny off of its current PPS.
