Markets Crashing, Bears Cashing!

Options Updates:

In these exceptionally volatile times, it’s always good to have both long and short targets, depending on which way the wind is blowing. With the help of yet another bloody day for the markets at large, the bearish ideas we’ve been tracking in MAR all week tacked on some impressive new highs, and the new CYBR Puts we added in fresh for yesterday’s report immediately went exponential.

In the case of MAR, these numbers represent 2-day swings, and for CYBR, we’ve got yesterday’s intraday ranges:  

MAR Weekly $86.50-85 Puts
$86.50:
2.80-11.72 (+319%)
$86: 2.70-11.27 (+317%)
$85.50: 2.20-9.07 (+312%)
$85: 2.13-10.00 (+369%)
______

CYBR Weekly $107-104 Puts 

$107: 2.70-11.90 (+341%)
$106: 2.80-9.87 (+253%)
$105: 2.26-10.00 (+342%)
$104: 2.40-9.00 (+275%)

With the aforementioned winds once again blowing in a bearish direction this morning, we’ll keep an eye out for even more new highs in these plays. We’ll also add in a related idea for the SPDR S&P 500 ETF, and put the SPY Weekly $280-278 Puts on watch into tomorrow.


New Options Ideas:
EQM Weekly $15-17.50 Calls
JACK Weekly $65-60 Puts
ONEM Weekly $25-22.50 Puts

MAR Puts, BSGM Updates

Marriot International, Inc. MAR – Update

The markets took a late dive yesterday afternoon, and as they plunged, it helped our bearish idea on MAR realize some nice new gains. We were just reporting on the MAR Weekly $86.50-85 Puts in yesterday’s report, with what were only nominal gains at the time. Today the figures are looking far more impressive.

Even after the company’s CEO somewhat brashly called MAR stock ‘a bottom’, traders did not agree as it took a considerable hit and headed lower. That produced the following opportunities in our targeted puts;

MAR Weekly $86.50-85 Puts
$86.50:
2.80-7.00 (+150%)
$86:2.70-6.60 (+144%)
$85.50: 2.20-5.02 (+128%)
$85: 2.13-5.97 (+180%)
______

Fresh Options Ideas: 
ALC Weekly $55-57.50 Calls
PGTI Weekly $10 Calls
CYBR Weekly $107-104 Puts


BioSig Technologies, Inc. BSGM

We have been tracking BSGM pretty closely this spring, and the stock has put together an incredible performance. Subsequent to our alert of this play roughly 5 weeks ago on April 7th, it registered a low of 3.45/share. The company has been doing trials for potential coronavirus treatments with the drugs Merimepodib and Remdesivir.

After stacking gains on top of gains and essentially going up continuously with very few daily exceptions, BSGM arrived at a new high of 12.43 yesterday. That represents an increase of 260% in just over a month’s time!

We will certainly continue to track BSGM’s progress and keep our ears to the track for any further developments in the company’s quest for a viable COVID-19 treatment.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Huge Options Wins

Cronos Group, Inc. CRON – Recap

We’ve been tracking CRON heavily this week, after having observed its swing low of 6.50 last week, the stock has now strung together seven consecutive bullish sessions, and yesterday attained a new high of 9.95, marking a 53% increase in roughly a week.

CRON Weekly $8 & $8.50 Calls were initially targeted in our report from Tuesday morning, and those attained new highs. We’ve now seen a move from the $8 Calls from .50-1.85 for a gain of 270%, and the $8.50’s updated range runs from .30 to 1.40, a gain of 367% in just two sessions’ time.

Yesterday we mentioned that we’d also look to roll up to higher strike points with the $9 & $9.50 Calls and those produced huge gain opportunities on the day. The $9’s moved up from a low of .20 and went on to hit a dollar, for a 400% rip, while the $9.50’s took the cake with a mega run from .10 to 70, a 600% gain.

CRON looks to be gearing down a bit this morning, but at this point it owes us nothing, and was a really great midweek play for us on the options front.


CVS Health Corp. CVS – Update

We also targeted some CVS calls on Tuesday– the CVS Weekly $75 & $75.50 Calls and did very well with those right out of the gate. We have some new highs there as well thanks to a solid session yesterday.

So far we’ve seen the $75 Calls trade from 1.05 to their new high at 6.00 (+471%), while the $75.50’s have run from .84-5.00 for gains of up to 495%, continuing our stellar week of fantastic options calls.



We also provided a pair of fresh options ideas in yesterday’s report, and kept the multi-bag profit train rolling with both targets:

ETSY Weekly $45 Calls
Range:
2.40-6.70 – Max Gain: 179%

TWLO Weekly $80-82 Calls
$80 – 3.15-16.37 (+420%)
$80.50 – 2.70-7.02 (+160%)
$81 – 2.33-14.80 (+535%)
$81.50 – 2.70-10.89 (+303%)
$82 – 2.25-13.80 (+513%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CYBR, MCP, MEIP & More

CyberArk Software, Ltd. CYBR

Our first experiences with CYBR were good ones, when we successfully called a couple of potentially lucrative options trades around the middle of last month. It was in our report from February 13ththat we targeted CYBR $50 and $55 Calls, and that day we saw moves in those contracts of 72% and 165% respectively.
We flagged CYBR once again yesterday, which had previously been under several weeks of consolidation, yet was gapping up in the premarket. The stock did well in reversing its path, trading in a range from 50.79-55.03, and holding the majority of those gains into the close.

Our current options idea is going to be the 04/17 $50 Calls (Closed at 6.60 yesterday). Should CYBR reach its way back to the $60-level anytime in the next few weeks, the gains we see in those contracts will be quite substantial.


Molycorp, Inc. MCP

MCP appeared in yesterday’s extended watchlist and demonstrated a reversal of its own. We’re going to place MCP on more intensive watch as the week progresses, as it has the markings of a potential bottom play.

We’ve illustrated some of the key characteristics of the chart below, which appears to be gearing up for what could be a big swing. The stock ran well over a dollar at the beginning of last month, so the potential for rapid gains has certainly been demonstrated.


MEI Pharma, Inc. MEIP

We’ve also got an eye on MEIP after the stock was crushed down to a 52-week low yesterday, following the company’s announcement of the failure of its cancer drug in middle-stage testing.

A single-session depreciation on the order of 70% is the hallmark of one heck of a knee-jerk reaction, and the stock appears to be gapping up slightly this morning, so we’ll be on the lookout for a recovery in MEIP shares in coming days.

Recapping Friday’s Options Ideas

Nike, Inc. NKE –  On Friday morning, NKE was in the midst of gapping up on the heels of its earnings call, and we came up with daytrading ideas for the $100-104 Weekly Calls. There turned out to be great opportunity in that range as NKE surged to a daily high of 103.79:

$100 Calls – Range:1.38-3.75 – Max Gain: 172%
$101 Calls – Range: .70-2.80 – Max Gain: 300%
$102 Calls – Range: .18-1.75 – Max Gain: 872%
$103 Calls – Range: .10-.85 – Max Gain: 750%

____

Prothena Corp plc PRTA was the other options target we were monitoring on Friday for swing trades.  Specifically, we were looking at the $40 and $45 Calls, and both sets of contracts made big initial moves, followed by pullbacks and additional swings later in the session.

The $35 Calls first shot out of the gate trading at a low of  5.32 and running as high as 9.50 for an initial pop of 78%, before tapering back to 2.40 then recovering to 3.92, for an added 63% move.

The $40’s would open with a 116% spike from 3.00-6.50, followed by a later swing from 2.45-2.90, an extra 18% swing.


Cyber-Security Watchlist

We want to re-radar a couple of cyber security firms that we’ve mentioned in the past, as they have both been on a bit of a downtrend, yet appear to be gapping up this morning.

 CyberArk Software Ltd. CYBR  & FireEye, Inc. FEYE are going to go back on our active watchlist as we kick off a new trading week. Once we’re able to confirm reversals for each of these plays, we can then begin to formulate options strategies accordingly. Stay tuned to our reports this week, and we’ll be sure to have some ideas to pass along.
