Options Recaps, New Ideas

The Walt Disney Co. DIS – Options Review

On Friday morning, we closed out the week with a last minute options ideasignaling our interest in the DIS Weekly $139-142 Calls. Despite a turbulent open for stocks in general, we saw some really nice early opportunities from those ideas.

The total possible gains on those contracts were as follows: 

DIS Weekly $139-142 Calls
$139 Calls – Range: 
.61-1.48 – Max Gain: 143%
$140 Calls – Range: .38-.94 – Max Gain: 147%
$141 Calls – Range: .25-.54 – Max Gain: 116%
$142 Calls – Range: .12-.38 – Max Gain: 217%


AnaptysBio Inc. ANAB – Options Idea

We also took notice of ANAB this morning after the stock fell to new all-time lows yesterday. Just as a stock that shoots up a great deal in a short time must eventually come down to earth, one that tanks this hard is bound to recover some ground.

From current levels, a play on the stock itself could pan out favorably in a relatively short amount of time, but we will also designate some longer-term contracts in the options chain for an added idea. We’ll radar the ANAB 01/17 $10-15 Calls for observation over the next several weeks.

Overstock.com, Inc. OSTK

On Friday, we identified a  pair of options targets for OSTK, the 10/04 $15.50 & 16 Calls. Despite falling to the low side toward the end of the day, there were some early opportunities for our designated contracts.

The $15.50 Calls traded up from 1.50-1.90 for a notable 27% intraday move, while the $16 Calls traded in a range from 1.40-1.96 (+40%).

With the late session dip, OSTK fell considerably, but we view this as no less than a buy-in opportunity on these very same contracts. We like the chances of seeing a quick rebound, and the potential for further gains out of these plays over the course of the next trading week or two.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: INMG, DRNK Recaps & More

Innovativ Media Group, Inc. INMG

When we last left off with INMG on Thursday morning, we had already seen a five session swing of 1400% over the previous week. While we certainly acknowledged the impressive gains, we stated, “the stock will peel back off of these impressive highs and that’s when we’ll be looking for what could be a serious dip-and-rip pattern.” Our assessment of the situation turned out to be very astute, and INMG experienced exactly the activity we suggested.

That morning, the stock dipped down significantly to ultimately find support at .0145, from which point it began a three-session span of recording higher lows and higher highs, leading up to yesterday’s high of .032.  The ‘rip’ in our observed dip-and-rip on INMG has thus far amounted to an added opportunity for gains of up to 121% on the upswing!


NoHo, Inc. DRNK

Continuing along with another fantastic call we made just yesterday, we’ve got DRNK, which we explicitly stated could be the next super-subpenny “to go for a big ride”. It took no time at all for our hunch to come to fruition, as it showed us a really nice move on day one.

The stock traded up from .0003 to .00051, for a 70% intraday pop, which came on more than eight times the monthly average volume with more than 800 million shares changing hands on the day. It also held half its advance into a .0004 close.

The move was helped along by a well-received PR which hit wires shortly after our morning report concerning the company’s declaration of a moratorium on conversions along with the negotiation of a debt buyout:

David Mersky, NOHO’s CEO, stated, “We have come to terms with our majority note holder to freeze conversions, which puts NOHO in a very strong position moving forward with significant developments underway. This is a strong signal of our majority debt holder’s confidence in the long term vision we have for the Company. This agreement is also a big win for our shareholders, as we continue to make changes to reduce the outstanding shares and avoid dilution as a priority moving forward.” (>>View Full PR)

We’re really going to want to keep an eye on DRNK. With a commitment to cleaning up their share structure, along with the added attention that a big move on the chart is going to bring, we won’t rule out the possibility of DRNK breaking from the super-subpenny range to the subpenny range, or even higher.
