Options Review, 4 New Targets

Reviewing Tuesday’s Targets:

We had just a couple of fresh ideas on the table for our premarket report yesterday morning, and in both cases we met with solid results. We just crossed the threshold into the 4th Quarter of 2024 yesterday, and we are going through a period of fewer earnings reporters, as is common when a new quarter begins. We’ll just keep chopping wood, and bringing the best ideas we can in the meantime.

As for yesterday’s duo of possibilities, we were tracking the PAYX 10/18 $135 Calls, and the MKC 10/18 $80-85 Calls, and these were the associated intraday results:

PAYX 10/18 $135 Calls

MKC 10/18 $80-85 Calls

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: More Big Wins, Bottom-Play

Friday’s Big Wins

We continue to pepper our readers’ inboxes with options ideas almost every day, and Friday’s report was no different. We featured a pair of fresh ideas in the ROKU and TTD chains, and hit the nail on the head with both of them to close out another solid week with strength!

The following single-session gain opportunities were there for the taking after both stocks had productive sessions on the heels of their earnings reports. TTD and ROKU took the 3rd and 6th top gainer spots, respectively, for the whole of the NASDAQ on Friday.  Out of eight sets of contracts, all eight recorded multi-bag runs on the day, with the ROKU moves being considerably more impressive. 

Roku, Inc. ROKU Weekly $53-56 Calls

$53 Calls – Range: 2.42-11.89 – Max Gain: 391%
$53.50 Calls – Range: 1.90-11.00 – Max Gain: 479%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TGT Review & More


Target Corp. TGT

For a fresh set of options ideas yesterday morning, we had signaled the TGT Weekly $87.50-89 Calls for observation after the company recorded its best quarterly figures in a decade.

Despite posting a red candle on the day, the early activity in the stock was sufficient to provide our selected options contracts with the juice to make some respectable intraday rips.

$87.50 Calls – Range: .70-1.50 – Max Gain: 114%
$88 Calls – Range: .55-1.22 – Max Gain: 122%
$88.50 Calls – Range: .43-.95 – Max Gain: 121%
$89 Calls – Range: .14-.40 – Max Gain: 186%

FRESH IDEAS:

We’ll continue to stick with big name earnings plays as long as they’re on the table. Earnings related options trading has become our bread and butter, and for good reason. As TGT proved yesterday, we don’t even need for these stocks to close in the green to give us what we’re looking for- all we need is the right early morning activity.

Today we’ve got a pair of fresh ideas that also just reported earnings. We’re going to be monitoring the Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. BABA Weekly $180-185 Calls, and the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. WSM 09/21 $67.50 & $70 Calls.
