Big Moves on Friday, 3 Fresh Ideas

Friday’s Options Recap:

We had a good week last week, and were hoping to close it out with a slate of good ideas in our premarket report. We went with four possibilities on the day, and each of them exhibited some level of intraday upswings for us. It was a great way to close out a strong performance for the week, as all of our ideas panned out.

We were zeroed in on the AAPL Weekly $225-222.50 Puts, the AMZN Weekly $197.50-200 Calls, the INTC Weekly $23-24 Calls, and the XOM Weekly $118-119 Calls. Here were their biggest runs of the session, some of which were exceedingly impressive:

AAPL Weekly $225-222.50 Puts
$225:
 .80-3.44 (+330%)
$222.50: .17-1.43 (+741%)
_____

AMZN Weekly $197.50-200 Calls
$197.50: 1.31-3.20 (+144%)
$200: .41-1.34 (+227%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options, NLNK Recaps & More

GoPro, Inc. GPRO

We took advantage of the situation with GPRO yesterday after noticing the stock light up the boards in the premarket on the heels of a guidance adjustment.

We set our sights on the GPRO Weekly $9.50 & $10 Calls and both sets of contracts ended up providing traders with a chance at notable intraday gains.

The $9.50’s ran from .13-.90 for a whopping intraday pop of 592%, while the $10’s traded in a range from .47-1.20 for chances at up to 155% profit.



Insmed, Inc. INSM – Update

We’ve also got the pleasure of updating the figures on the options idea we put out on Tuesday after INSM had yet another solid session. The updated ranges on the contracts we selected are quite impressive, including a twelve-bagger, clearly demonstrating why we devote so much energy to options trading in addition to stocks!

The gains that were up for grabs to anyone who was paying attention were as follows:

$27 Calls
– Range: .95-4.50 – Max Gain: 373%
$28 Calls – Range:  .25-3.40 – Max Gain: 1260%
$29 Calls – Range: .40-2.75 – Max Gain: 588%
$30 Calls – Range: .50-2.12 – Max Gain: 324%


NewLink Genetics Corp. NLNK

We also had some very good fortune with our call of NLNK yesterday morning, which we caught notice of on our routine morning scan after some abnormal activity cropped up in the premarket.

Despite the fact that it went into the session as a $9+ stock, we still saw a really nice intraday push en route to NLNK going on the books as the NASDAQ’s top mover. We observed as the stock ran from a low of  9.50, traded up for essentially the entire session, and hit a high of 14.48 for a hefty 52% move on the day.

NLNK closed with strength, maintaining well over half its daily advance, so we’ll definitely want to continue to monitor the situation. No matter how you slice it, a single-session gain of 50% from a nearly ten-dollar stock, is nothing short of incredible.
