TGT Update, Fresh Options Idea

Target Corp. TGT

Just as we mentioned yesterday morning to start off the week, it was on Thursday morning that we signaled our interest in tracking some TGT Puts. They hadn’t quite heated up yet by the end of last week, but we urged readers yesterday to pay close attention, as the gains seemed imminent.

We were correct in that assumption, as the markets once again set a new record for worst daily losses in history. That helped propel the massive range of contracts we signaled, the TGT 04/03 $98-90 Puts, to double-bag gain status and beyond, exactly as we predicted.

Here are the trading ranges on those contracts since we’ve had them on our radar:

TGT 04/03 $98-90 Puts
$98: 3.37-6.92 (+105%)
$97: 2.90-6.60 (+128%)
$96: 2.73-6.00 (+120%)
$95: 2.21-5.95 (+169%)
$94: 2.54-5.50 (+117%)
$93: 1.99-5.05 (+154%)
$92: 2.44-4.50 (+84%)
$91: 2.00-4.25 (+113%)
$90: 1.47-3.80 (+156%)


Transdigm Group, Inc TDG

We would like to put together a set of call contracts to watch in the TDG chain. It’s no surprise that the stock is at a bottom at present, but what is remarkable is the amount of insider buying that has taken place in the last week, to the tune of roughly $180M.

That typically signals an insider’s confidence that the stock will not fall much further. We are going to put the TDG 05/15 $350-370 Calls on watch to track in the weeks ahead.

Friday’s 40,000% Gainer

Incredible Options Gains

Even as markets around the globe struggle with the unprecedented effects of the novel coronavirus, chances for ridiculously large profits have been available to short-term traders. On Friday, we submitted some options ideas in our premarket report, and among them came the top gaining idea we have ever produced in our entire recorded history. All in one session.

We signaled interest in the AVGO Weekly $220-230 Calls and the ADBE Weekly $295-305 Calls, and saw some eye popping gains, including an unbelievable 40,000% runner!

AVGO Weekly $220-230 Calls

Target Corp. TGT – Update 

On Thursday morning we signaled a range of extended-term TGT ideas, the TGT 04/03 $98-90 Puts. In addition to current market conditions, the stock was exhibiting a gap to the low-side, and undergoing insider sales. It has created a perfect storm for shorts, and with the way things are going, the rewards should be there for the reaping this week.

We just wanted to remind everyone to watch these plays closely in the next few sessions, as we still expect to see significant gains from these ideas.

Playing Yet Another Market Reversal

Fresh Options Ideas

We’ve been playing the markets like a fiddle throughout one of the most volatile periods in history, taking advantage of the see-sawing back and forth, and having been able to deliver multi-bag gainers to our readers. Yesterday was no exception.

After Monday’s historic selloff, we turned right around yesterday and fearlessly placed some SPY Calls on watch, which provided instant returns for us.

SPY Weekly $285-288 Calls
$285:
 3.00-8.74 (+191%)
$286: 2.70-8.08 (+199%)
$287: 2.43-7.61 (+213%)
$287.50: 2.26-7.31 (+223%)
$288: 2.25-7.04 (+213%)

We seem on track to see another reversal and down day for stocks today, so we’re going to want to reverse our position and signal interest in the SPY Weekly 282-279 Puts to try to stay in sync with the erratic pulse of the markets.


Aytu BioScience, Inc AYTU

We spotted AYTU in the premarket yesterday, including it in our morning report, and the stock put up the number one performance on the NASDAQ for the day. This was as the company secured the US rights to distribute a rapid point-of-care coronavirus test.

From a low of .91 AYTU reached 2.99, marking an intraday pop of 229% The company did, however, throw a wrench into the works in terms of continuing that run this morning, as they announced a huge $9M direct offering today, which will likely counteract any chance the stock had at stringing together some more nice gains of a similar magnitude.
