Options Reviews, 5 Fresh Targets

Tuesday’s Options Selections:

While yesterday’s session didn’t bring astonishing gains like some of the previous one had, we still managed to root out some intraday runners on the options front. Out of four ideas, two were a short and a longer-term set of calls on XOM. The August set was the only interest of the day that didn’t yield opportunities right out of the gate. As for the rest, they did pretty well for us, registering intraday moves of a respectable nature.

Those were the GFS 08/19 $60-65 Calls, the EMR Weekly $90-89 Puts, and the XOM Weekly $89-90 Calls. Despite not producing huge multibag runs, under the circumstances of the markets having a deflated sort of a session, they ended up being good calls. Here were the moves they recorded:

GFS 08/19 $60-65 Calls
$60: .80-1.30 (+62%)
$65: .22-.50 (+127%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SIG Recap, AXON & More

Signet Jewelers Ltd. SIG – Options Idea

After noticing its solid beat on earnings and reassured guidance yesterday morning in the premarket, we selected a range of options ideas for the SIG chain. Post-earnings options calls have become our bread and butter, and SIG provided yet another example of the reason for that.

Our designated observation range was the SIG Weekly $47.50-50 Calls and all but the 49.50’s enjoyed considerable single-session gains for the day.

$47.50 Calls – Range: 3.70-6.30 – Max Gain: 70%
$48 Calls – Range: 3.21-7.12 – Max Gain: 122%
$48.50 Calls – Range: 3.10-6.00 – Max Gain: 94%
$49 Calls – Range: 2.72-6.17 – Max Gain: 127%
$50 Calls – Range: 1.97-5.21 – Max Gain: 164%

Fresh Options Idea:
Five Below, Inc. FIVE Weekly $90-95 Calls


Axovant Sciences, Inc. AXON

We also included a tag of AXON in yesterday morning’s report, and were met with a pretty good chance for a daily profit there as well. We noticed a slew of Form-4 buys come in on Tuesday, and lo and behold, yesterday the company released news of an $840M+ licensing deal for its Parkinson’s gene therapy.

From a morning low of 3.27, the stock reached a high of 4.64, representing a modest, but very respectable 42% move on the day. We’ll be sure to leave it on our radar in the event that a more sustained move is in the cards.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Review

Tiffany & Co. TIF – Options Recap
We wanted to take an opportunity to backtrack to our options idea from Wednesday, the TIF Weekly $114-117 Calls. We caught the stock on the heels of its earnings report, and the subsequent activity allowed for a good chance for us at the top of that range.

Our ideas got pushed so deep in the money, that the big winner turned out to be the 117’s. Those contracts started out on Wednesday from a low of 1.53, and as of yesterday had reached an impressive high of 8.24. That works out to a two-day swing of 439%


Footlocker, Inc. FL 

We’ve had some good luck with the FL options chain in the past, and we’re going to place some contracts on watch today in the wake of the company’s big profit and sales beat this morning. Q1 earnings blew people away today, and as a result the stock is up considerably.

With no weekly expiration contracts available, we’re going to go out to the FL 06/15 $52.50-55 Calls, for potential quick strike trades.
