Lowes Calls Rip, Fresh New Ideas

Solid Options Sweep:

We cruised past the mid-week mark in style yesterday, after our premarket report’s various possibilities for daily options plays all netted good intraday opportunities for us. At this point, we routinely expect our ideas to work out in some fashion, because it happens so much more often than not.

Yesterday’s  primary targets were the LOW Weekly $215-217.50 Calls, the DNUT Weekly $15-12.50 Puts, and the TGT Weekly $177.50-175 Puts, and as you’ll see from the table of figures below, some of the gain chances on offer during the session were rather impressive.

Friday’s Big Winners, Fresh Ideas & More

Solid Options Runners: 

To close things out for the short week on Friday, we had a pair of quick-strike options ideas in the LULU and OKTA chains, as well as a longer term target for ASAN in our premarket report. Despite a rather subdued session for the markets in general wherein we saw a gap-down in the morning, and not much progress toward a recovery throughout the day, we were still able to manage some very nice gain chances.

Our specific areas of interest for the day were the LULU Weekly $300-307.50 Calls, the OKTA Weekly $106-108 Calls, and the ASAN 06/17 $22.50 Puts. Both sets of calls produced multi-bag profit possibilities on the day, with ASAN not lagging far behind. We’ve also got a week and change before they expire, so we’ll continue to monitor those as well. As for Friday’s moves, here’s what these ideas put forth for the session:

LULU Weekly $300-307.50 Calls
$300:
 2.55-7.35 (+188%)
$302.50: 2.00-5.60 (+180%)
$305: 1.41-4.50 (+219%)
$307.50: .94-3.40 (+262%)
_____

OKTA Weekly $106-108 Calls
$106: 1.16-2.87 (+147%)
$107: .84-2.05 (+144%)
$108: .48-1.39 (+190%)
_____

ASAN 06/17 $22.50 Puts
$22.50: 1.82-2.90 (+59%)


Fresh Options Ideas: 

We are heading into an extended dry spell with regard to the number of big name companies dropping their earnings reports, which is going to persist for the next several weeks. We’re used to traversing these periodic ‘earnings deserts’, and as always, we’ll still be working hard every day to find the best opportunities possible, which for us, generally includes a heavy reliance on the SPY- our favorite market analog.

SPY 06/06 $413-415 Calls 
FUTU Weekly $38.50-40 Calls
QDEL 07/15 $85-95 Calls

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Big Options Wins

Options Reviews

General Mills, Inc. GIS – We were looking at the General Mills chain beginning
on Wednesday morning, when we designated the GIS 04/18 $47.50-50 Calls as targets of interest for the week. We got some very nice profit opportunities out of that set, with plenty of time for the possibility to realize further gains.  The $47.50 Calls rose from a low of 1.40-3.55, an upswing of 154% The $50’s traded in a range from .27-1.47, which works out to a huge jump of 444%
_____

Darden Restaurants, Inc. DRI  – On Thursday morning, we added the DRI 04/18 $115 Calls to our pool of ideas, and those really made a splash as well. In the two session span following our alert, we witnessed a move up from a low of 1.15 to a high of 4.30. That represents a rapid increase of 274%
_____

Revlon, Inc. REV – Finally, on Friday, we continued our streak of new ideas with an extended-term idea on Revlon. A pair of big insider buys was what led us to place these on watch. We’ll continue to track the REV 08/16 $22.50-25 Calls. For Friday, they each managed modest increases, with the $22.50’s running from 2.55-2.90 (+14%) and the $25’s going from 1.25-2.00 (+60%). These will be on our radar for quite some time, but got off to a nice start.
