Options Reviews, Fresh Ideas

Options Runners:

We’re ready to kick off a fresh trading week today, but before we can dive into what’s looking ripe for the picking this morning, of course we need to go over the solid gains that occurred in our targeted options plays from Friday morning’s premarket report.

Three of our four designated set of options ideas on the day panned out to some significant gain opportunities for us. We were looking at the EXPE Weekly $202.50-207.50 Calls, the F Weekly $17.50-18 Calls, and the NET Weekly $119-122 Calls. The moves we witnessed weren’t eye-popping, but they were very respectable, especially considering how poorly things went for the markets in general.

Here were the total intraday runs and possible profits associated with those targets:

EXPE Weekly $202.50-207.50 Calls
$202.50:
 1.69-4.75 (+181%)
$205: .97-3.00 (+209%)
$207.50: .59-1.74 (+195%)

Midweek Options Review & More

Midweek Options Review 

We offered up a buffet of options choices yesterday, and two of our ideas panned out immediately, with our longer-term idea still needing some time to mature.

The ones that worked out without delay were the designated ideas from the DBI and CONN chains. They were the DBI 12/20 $17.50-15 Puts and the CONN 12/20 $17-15 Puts.  Both of those were bearish signals on puts, and both yielded solid intraday results, good for opportunities to score the following daily gains:

Designer Brands, Inc. DBI 12/20 $17.50-15 Puts
$17.50 Puts – Range: 2.60-3.71 – Max Gain: 43%
$15 Puts – Range: .60-1.36 – Max Gain: 127%

Conn’s Inc. CONN 12/20 $17-15 Puts
$17 Puts
 – Range: 2.00-3.30 – Max Gain: 43%
$16 Puts – Range: 1.45-1.92 – Max Gain: 32%
$15 Puts – Range: .70-1.60 – Max Gain: 129%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: WMT Options & More

Walmart, Inc. WMT – Options Idea

Walmart was already building a nice head of steam on the chart in the weeks leading up to this morning’s earnings release. Things have kicked up a notch this morning as Walmart recorded a resounding across-the-board beat, including an online sales increase of 33%

Given that we are always looking out for opportunities to trade options on the heels of a solid earnings beat, we are going to slate some Walmart calls for observation this morning.

We’ll be tracking the WMT Weekly $86.50-88.50 Calls after what we expect should be a dip-and-rip scenario.


Altimmune, Inc. ALT

We would also like to make mention of ALT this morning, after taking notice of the significant pickup in both price action and volatility yesterday.

That was preceded by a lengthy consolidation period as you can see on the snapshot below, and at the present time, the stock is beginning to come off of being oversold. We’ll watch this one for a potential recovery play in upcoming sessions.
