Massive SPY Gains

SPDR S&P 500 (ETF) SPY – Review

Yesterday morning we said we would come back to the idea we issued for the SPY on Tuesday morning, for what we assumed was going to be some nice added gains. The targets were the SPY 05/27 $302-303 Calls, and they exceeded our expectations for the day by a country mile!

That pair of contracts posted what may possibly be the biggest single session gains we’ve ever tracked in the SPY, which has been our go-to market analog for years. The gains here were simply marvelous.

SPY 05/27 $302-303 Calls
$302: .02-.91 (+4500%)
$303: .03-1.92 (+6300%)

We had also signaled fresh ideas in some other options chains yesterday, and thanks in part to a big day for the markets, we saw some appreciable gains there as well, which were as follows: 

GSX 06/19 $30-35 Calls  
$30: 2.98-4.90 (+64%)
$35: 1.00-1.93 (+93%)
_____

STNE Weekly $31-32 Calls
$31: 1.19-3.60 (+203%)
$32: .80-2.70 (+238%)


More Fresh Ideas:
WDAY Weekly $172.50-177.50 Calls
HPQ Weekly $17-16 Puts 

Extended Watchlist:
OZSC, INQD, BBRW, KNOS, ITOX, TTCM, BGFV

SMPL Update, Form-4 Alert


The Simply Good Foods Co. SMPL –  Options Review 
.
On Thursday morning, SMPL was among the fresh options trading targets that we had mentioned in our premarket report.  We were looking specifically at the SMPL 08/21 $20-22.50 Calls.

Despite it being one of our relatively rare longer-term swing-trade ideas, with tons of time remaining until expiration, we did see some early gains right off the bat from those plays as the week drew to a close.

08/21 $20-22.50 Calls
$20: 1.50-2.20 (+47%)
$22.50: .70-1.30 (+86%)

We’ll certainly continue to have these targets on watch in the weeks and months ahead, it was good to see some instantaneous opportunity arise.

AxoGen Inc. AXGN – Form-4 Alert

We would also like to make mention of AXGN this morning. which we caught sight of during a routine Form-4 scan. We’ve got the CEO picking up shares and adding to his already considerable position just as the stock was preparing to register new annual lows.

We generally like to put stocks in this situation on watch, and will be anxiously awaiting the company’s quarterly results due in roughly two weeks.
