Perfect Options Trading Week Attained!

Perfect Options Week Completed!

We are extraordinarily pleased to get back into the saddle this morning, because our first order of business as we kick off a fresh week is to congratulate ourselves for the herculean effort we put forth last week for our readers. Despite going with four sets of bearish plays in our premarket report on Friday and the markets having an exceedingly bullish session, all four of our target sets produced big gains in defiance of the overall trends.The performance completed a perfect, mistake-free week of daily options ideas on our part, and we couldn’t be more pleased.

Our targets for Friday were the HCA Weekly $200 Puts, the AXP Weekly $137-135 Puts, the RHI Weekly $75-70 Puts* and the SIVB Weekly $260-250 Puts. Here were the gains they produced, including an absolutely unreal gainer in the AXP chain to the tune of over forty thousand percent!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: DMTX Review, Options & More

Dimension Therapeutics, Inc. DMTX

We alerted on DMTX after a sizable gap-up few weeks back on the morning of August 25th. That day we would observe a low of 2.90 in the stock, and it never looked back.

Throughout the month of September the stock has mostly been stair-stepping its way up in steady fashion, but news of an unsolicited buyout offer (@5.50/share) kicked this play into a much higher gear to start things off this week, and yesterday DMTX attained a high of 5.90.

That works out to a three-week double-bag swing of 103% We wouldn’t expect to see the stock travel much higher, certainly not without confirmation or further details on a proposal, but will still keep our eyes open for further activity after a very strong session yesterday.


Fresh Options Ideas

We’ve got a pair of options possibilities  to present this morning. Yesterday’s market sentiment was exceedingly bullish, with more than 65% of NASDAQ quoted stocks trading at or above their 50-day moving averages.

Today, better than expected numbers on Housing Starts and Building Permits were reported, which could assist in keeping the momentum moving.

SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY) – For a direct market analog, we generally turn to the SPY, having had immense success with it on several separate occasions in the past. We’re going to signal the SPY Weekly $249.50 & $250 Calls for observation as we approach midweek.
_____

The Kroger Co. KR – We’re also noticing a heck of a bottom setup on KR. A strong multiple bottom signal showing the stock at a solid support level, and a couple of gaps to the upside on the chart leaves us looking at a pair of longer-term contracts. We’re going to place the KR 11/17 $23 & $24 Calls on watch in the event of a recovery for Kroger.
