Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ANF Options Recap & More

Abercrombie & Fitch Co. ANF – Options Update

Our main point of focus in yesterday’s premarket report was a bearish stance on ANF to correspond the company’s earnings miss. We wanted to use the impending selloff to our advantage, and for that we selected the ANF Weekly $22-19.50 Puts.

The activity unfolded just as we expected it would, and as a result our observed contracts provided us with nice intraday gain opportunities.

$22 Puts – Range: 2.55-4.09 – Max Gain: 60%
$21.50 Puts – Range: 1.70-4.15 – Max Gain: 144%
$21 Puts – Range: .64-3.14 – Max Gain: 391%
$20.50 Puts – Range: .48-2.60 – Max Gain: 442%
$20 Calls – Range: .36-2.15 – Max Gain: 497%
$19.50 Calls – Range: .27-1.65 – Max Gain: 511%

While the contracts don’t expire until Friday, this is likely to be a one-day idea that we’ll now be moving on from, as the chances of seeing ANF take another dramatic backslide seem rather slim at this point.


Updates on Last Friday’s Solid Picks

We want to circle back today to recap a couple of plays we added to our watchlist on Friday morning. Both have left their lows behind, with each of them going on to register new highs yesterday.

Firefish, Inc. FRFS – saw its low on Friday at .0031 and yesterday found its way up .0064, marking a 106% swing in a four session span.

Force Protection Video Equipment, Inc. FPVD
– This play found its bottom on Monday at .016 before leading into yesterday’s high of .027. That goes down in the books as a three-day, 68% shift to the upside.


Fresh Options Idea:

VEEV posted a 34% year-over-year increase on revenue in this morning’s earnings report, and like usual, we want to signal a range of options contracts to monitor as a result. Our targets are going to be the VEEV 09/16 $39-42 Calls.

SKLN, MVES, ASCK, DLCR, GREW, BVTK

Tesla Motors Corp. TSLA – Options Update

Our bearish sentiment on TSLA yesterday ended up working in our favor quite well, as the intraday volatility provided traders with not one but three chances to execute lucrative swing trades.  Our specified target range was the TSLA Weekly $200-195 Puts; those three opportunities on the day extended to all three sets of contracts, and were as follows:

$200 Puts – 4.45-8.45 (+55%), 4.15-7.50 (+81%), 4.36-6.35 (+46%)

$197.50 Puts – 4.06-6.35 (+56%), 2.83-5.39 (+90%), 2.83-4.51 (+59%)

$195 Puts – 2.44-5.13 (+110%),1.87-3.81 (+104%), 1.70-2.89 (+70%)

Amid the bombshell that Britain passed a referendum effecting its exit from the European Union (at least a two year process), world markets in general are all feeling the strain at present. TSLA has hit a low of $186 in the premarket, so our observed contracts all stand to produce further gains this morning.

To get ourselves a little closer to the heaviest action in the event of a continued backslide for TSLA, we may consider rolling down our strike range to include the $192.50 and $190 Puts as well.

FRESH OPTIONS IDEAS:

As we’ve done many times before when attempting to use overall market conditions to our advantage, we’re going to be tracking some SPY Calls for potential daytrades. As long as the SPY can hold above $200, we could be in line to see some major volatility in the SPY Weekly $200-205 Calls. As always, we must issue a strong note of caution with regard to trading weekly contracts on a Friday. It should only ever be attempted by advanced-level traders!

We also want to submit another familiar face for a potential play with much less urgency. For a longer-term idea, we’ll be putting the PBR 07/15 $6.50 and $7 Calls on our radar.


Gold Watchlist:

We also want to provide our readers with a smattering of gold-related stocks to watch this morning. Currencies are taking a big hit, which usually means an influx of investor confidence in precious metals. As such, we will naturally look to plays like these for quick-hit opportunities:

LODE, PGLC, VGZ, XRA,TRX, GORO


Extended Watchlist:
PXYN, NHMD, DLCR, EMES, ENDV(Bottom bouncer)
