Briggs & Stratton Corp. BGG

We want to close things out this week by commenting on Briggs & Stratton’s gap down to its lowest PPS since the the early 1990’s. While it may see more short term losses first, we still want to radar this as a bottom-watch play.

We also published a longer term options idea in our report on Tuesday morning, signaling the LOGI 02/15 $34 & $35 Calls for observation, and we’ve got an update on those plays as well, which have also turned into multi-bag runners this midweek.

The $34 Calls have thus far traded up from a low of .85 to a high of 2.40 for a gain of 182%, while the $35’s have gone from .55 to 1.65- an increase of 200% With three weeks remaining until expiration we can continue to keep an eye on these for the possibility of higher highs.
