Clean Sweep on Options Winners

Options Success Across the Board:

What a way to head into the end of the week, as we cruise in on this lovely Friday morning with a full slate of successful earnings related options ideas! We don’t call it out bread and butter for nothing. Every single idea that we signaled for observation in yesterday’s premarket report produced big time chances for solid single session gains.

We were tracking after the SPY 05/20 $390-388 Puts, the KSS Weekly $41-39 Puts, the BJ Weekly $55 Calls, and the SNPS Weekly $270-280 Calls. Out of all those potential targets, just one contract set in the SNPS chain failed to produce double-bag gains. The total figures on those plays were as follows:

$390:

Earnings Plays Buck the Poor Market Trend

Options Buck the Trend:

It was another dreary day for the markets yesterday, as most stocks took a beating for the entire session. Thankfully it wasn’t too brutal for us, as two of our three daily options ideas posting significant upswings on the day. A bearish play we’ve been tracking since Monday morning’s premarket report also tacked on a solid new high as well.

Our daily targets to blast off in defiance of the overall trends on the heels of their earnings drops were the TJX Weekly $56-58 Calls, and the ZIM Weekly $66-68 Calls. Monday’s idea was the WIX Weekly $70 Puts. Here were the overall moves and total possible profits associated with those targets: 

TJX Weekly $56-58 Calls
$56: 
3.70-7.00 (+89%)
$57: 2.75-5.85 (+113%)
$57.50: 2.41-5.52 (+129%)
$58: 1.84-5.03 (+173%)

ZIM Weekly $66-68 Calls

Options Reviews, New Ideas

Options Recaps:

Our only new idea and primary target yesterday was Target, which performed incredibly well on the day. We had signaled interest in the TGT Weekly $143-146 Calls in our morning report, and those produced some serious multibag gain opportunities.

Here are the total profits that were available to anyone that had caught our premarket report:

TGT Weekly $143-146 Calls 
$143: 4.45-11.70 (+163%)
$144: 3.35-10.65 (+218%)
$145: 3.00-9.81 (+227%)
$146: 2.50-8.80 (+252%)

We are also going to want to stay close to the action as TGT continues to show strength. We are going to roll up to include the TGT Weekly $150-155 Calls, which we will track into the end of the week tomorrow.


Aureus, Inc. ARSN 

We had also tagged ARSN in yesterday morning’s extended watchlist, and multibag gains were to be had there as well. We witnessed a low of .0025 before it ran up to .0067, for an intraday push of 168% that came on an all-time record volume of 427.3M shares.

An interesting factoid on ARSN: The stock actually represents the original dairy company that the Yeungling family established during Prohibition to supplement the losses from their world-renowned brewing business.

PANW, BJ Reviews

BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings Inc. BJ

We had been tracking a target in the BJ’s options chain toward the end of last week, which were the BJ 06/19 $30 Calls. Then on Friday morning, we added an extra idea by rolling up to include the 06/19 $40 Calls as well. After another solid push, we have a new high to report on the $30’s, and our newer ideas performed well also, posting a multibag intraday performance.

So overall, from Thursday’s signal on the 06/19 $30 Calls, we observed a two-day swing from 1.50-8.42, marking a rise of 461%  Meanwhile, the 06/19 $40 Calls
posted a move from .45-1.68, which worked out to a single-session gain of 273%



Palo Alto Networks, Inc. PANW

Additionally, we had highlighted a trio of contracts in the PANW chain in our premarket report from Friday, with the PANW Weekly $235-245 Calls. We were able to see quite a bit of success there.

$235: 4.68-8.30 (+77%)

BJ Recap, Fresh Options Ideas

BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings Inc. BJ – Recap

As usual, we put out some fresh options ideas in yesterday mornings report, and despite a poor showing for the markets in general, we did see some instant success with our one-contract target in the BJ’s chain.

We had highlighted the BJ 06/19 $30 Calls for observation and the stock provided us with a great opportunity for huge gains with its own move from from 30.39 to 35.45 (+17%). The $30 Calls ran from 1.50-5.60, for an enormous intraday rip of 273%

We will also roll up to include the 06/19 $40 Calls on our watchlist heading into the long weekend, as the momentum from yesterday’s big move could certainly spill over.
