Solid Options Plays, Fresh Ideas & More

WD-40 Company WDFC – Options Update:  

As we close out this holiday-shortened week, we’ll start off by giving an update on the options idea we put forth in yesterday morning’s premarket report. We were looking at the WDFC 07/16 $250-270 Calls on the heels of the company’s earnings drop from the day prior.

The stock itself ran to nearly $280 before tapering back and that provided some very nice intraday gain opportunities for anyone who had caught our alert. Here are the intraday trading ranges and total possible gains on those targets:

WDFC 07/16 $250-270 Calls
$250: 20.32-26.15 (+29%)
$260: 7.81-16.67 (+113%)
$270: 4.31-8.18 (+90%)

Carver Bancorp Inc. CARV – Recap:

Extended-Term Options Plays Paying Off

Reviewing Winning Ideas: 

We typically focus more on options expiring at the end of a given week, there are certainly occasions when we target those with expiration dates weeks, or sometimes even months into the future. Which way it falls is often determined by the setup and conditions in which we find a play.

Today, we’re going to go over the recent moves made by a few of the longer-term options ideas to grace our watchlist recently. We signaled the DRI 07/16 $140-145 Calls in our report last Thursday morning, June 24th, and just a few sessions prior on the morning of the 21st we alerted the TBIO 08/20 $17.50-20 Calls and the MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls.

Take a look at the fantastic multi-bag upswings that we’ve witnessed in the short time we’ve been tracking these options:

DRI 07/16 $140-145 Calls
$140: 2.71-8.65 (+219%)
145: 1.10-4.60 (+318%)

TBIO 08/20 $17.50-20 Calls
$17.50: 2.88-10.15 (+252%)
$20: 1.65-8.40 (+409%)

Marin Software, Inc. MRIN – Recap:

Like a couple of the above-mentioned plays, we signaled MRIN in our report on the morning of June 24th on the basis of the stock alone. We didn’t even need options to leverage with this play as it has continued to soar to new highs.

Yesterday MRIN hit 21.68, which from our observed low of 2.56 registers as an increase 747% of in just a week’s time for this NASDAQ-listed stock!

More OTC Success:

For those of our readers who are not aware, we started in this business in the mid 2000’s almost solely on the back of our interest in OTC-traded securities. The past TEN of those years worth of newsletters is still available for perusal on our permanent archive at BlueHorseshoeStocks.com.

That’s why, even as we’ve shifted primarily to quick-strike options trading as our main focus over the years, we still take great pleasure in tracking and reaping benefits from the recent success we’ve seen in a lot of these lower exchange plays.

Here are new highs from yesterday in some of the stocks that we’ve been mentioning in our newsletters of late:

Green Globe International, Inc. GGII:

First Alert: 04/14
Subsequent Range: .0018-.105
Total Possible Gain: 5733%
