Massive Options Success & More

Big Moves in All 5 of Wednesday’s Selections: 

We had a whole slew of options ideas that we formed for yesterday morning’s premarket report, offering up targets in five separate chains based off of earnings. For our newer readers, we typically like to stick with quick-strike options in company’s which has just reported quarterly figures because of the intraday volatility they most often generate.

Yesterday our designated targets were the FCX Weekly $39-41 Calls, the BA Weekly $202.50-207.50 Calls, the TXN Weekly $180-182.50 Calls, the MSFT Weekly $300-307.50 Calls, and the SPY 01/26 $440-442 Calls. We managed a five way sweep, with all of our selected ideas producing big intraday runs for us on the day! As always, here are the total daily ranges and the highest possible percentage gains that traders could have banked.

Clean Sweep on Options Plays: 

We are always very pleased when we can formulate multiple sets of options trading ideas for our readers, and have them all turn in winning cards on the day. Yesterday’s offering included three separate sets of ideas, and we saw considerable movement in everything across the board.

We were targeting the LOGI 02/18 $75-80 Calls, the BRO 02/18 $65-70 Calls, and the AXP Weekly $160-165 Calls in our premarket report, which all recorded very nice moves- particularly the BRO $65’s, which ran extremely hard right from the opening bell and rattled off a gain of more than 1500%

The rest of our ideas also performed quite well, with the following moves and total possible gains on the day: 

LOGI 02/18 $75-80 Calls
$75: 3.80-6.00 (+58%)
$80: 1.70-3.10 (+82%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ATVI Options & More

Activision Blizzard. Inc. ATVI

We focused on stocks quite a bit earlier on in the week, so this morning we wanted to take the opportunity to put another potential options play into the mix. We’re constantly looking for company’s that have just reported earnings, which gives us the potential for the volatility that we want.

In the case of ATVI, while its quarterly figures were lacking, the tock was at a bottom, and appears to want to go green today. We will put the ATVI Weekly $42-43.50 Calls on watch this morning, and monitor for the remainder of the week for a possible rebound off of what was its new 52-week low, registered on Monday.


SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY)

Our regular readers are well aware of our fondness for the SPY ETF. We have taken advantage of it on many occasions. A quick peek into our archives reveals that today is the 114th time we’ve mentioned the SPY in our newsletters. It’s a well that we continue to draw from, with no indications of that ever changing.

Today, after such a big move yesterday wherein the SPY broke its 200DMA, we want to look for  continuation of the bullish behavior we’re observing. We will designate the SPY Weekly $274.50-275.50 Calls as ones to watch as we head through this midweek.
