AMC Options Recap & More

AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. AMC – Recap

Despite a rather bearish day for the markets in general, our bullish AMC options idea worked out quite nicely for us yesterday. We had signaled a single contract set with a June expiration, and got instant double-bag results.

Our specific idea was the AMC 06/19 $4 Calls, and they traded in a range from .55-1.15, for total possible gains of up to 109% on the day.

The company announced it won’t be playing Universal Studios films in the future as a result of NBCUniversal’s plans to release movies direct-to-home on-demand. It will be interesting to see how this affects our idea going forward, but as it stands, we’re happy with the single-session performance it recorded yesterday.

Fresh Options Ideas:

All of the following plays have reported earnings this morning, so as usual, we’re going to try to use the corresponding volatility to our advantage in hopes of seeing some nice gain opportunities:

AZN Weekly $52-53 Calls
MA Weekly $272.50-277.50 Calls
BA Weekly $138-140 Calls

Extended Watchlist:
XALL, ITOX, AMAZ, OZSC, TLSS, NAT

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AAPL, SPY Winners & More

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Recap

We submitted two separate options trading ideas in yesterday morning’s premarket report, the first of which being the AAPL Weekly $160-162.50 Calls. It’s beeen quite some time since we played with the AAPL chain, but it is the stock that originally brought us into the fold of options day and swing trading that we’ve adopted as one of our main functions.

It came as no surprise when the Fed announced no interest rate hike yesterday that the markets responded bullishly and allowed for some very nice multi-bag moves on our designated targets.

$160 Calls – Range: 2.14-6.32 – Max Gain: 195%
$162.50 Calls – Range: 1.05-4.19 – Max Gain: 299%
