Friday’s Big Runners, 3 Fresh Ideas

Friday’s Runners:

We cast a pretty wide net on Friday, offering up a large slate of five potential daytrading targets for our premarket report, and we ended up seeing some pretty decent opportunities come from that group. With the exception of a lackluster performance from the SPY calls as the markets fell hard early in the day, everything else we targeted recorded big time intraday runs.

We had the SPY 09/05 $649-651 Calls, the AVGO Weekly $342.50-347.50 Calls, the LULU Weekly $170-165 Puts, the DOCU Weekly $81-83 Calls, the GWRE 09/19 $250 Calls. These were the best moves of the session for each of those ideas:

Friday’s Performance, 3 Fresh Ideas

Friday Recap:

We came just one set of ideas short of a perfect week last week, with success coming for three out of the four potential target ranges we had in our premarket report. It would have been nice to finish out a clean sheet for the week, but the gainers that we did witness, certainly put on a show with some massive multibag moves.

Those were the LULU Weekly $370-380 Calls, the ULTA Weekly $430-435 Calls, and the DOCU Weekly $94-96 Calls, and here were the level of gains that were made possible by those plays:

LULU Weekly $370-380 Calls
$370: 10.32-39.63 (+284%)
$375: 8.84-34.63 (+292%)
$380: 4.91-29.65 (+504%)

Monday’s Multi-Baggers, Trio of New Targets

2024 Win Streak Extended:

We kept the 2024 train of success moving right down the tracks yesterday, hitting on all three of our potential trade ideas for the day. We have yet to miss on a single daily options pick this year, and of course, will try to keep it going for as long as we can! There are some decent earnings reporters dropping figures, so today looks pretty good for a chance to keep the trend going in the right direction.

The ideas in yesterday’s premarket report were the MARA Weekly $24-25 Calls, the COIN Weekly $155-157.50 Calls, and the CMC 01/19 $50 Calls. Here were the multibag intraday moves they recorded for us:

MARA Weekly $24-25 Calls
$24: 1.53-3.65 (+139%)
$24.50: 1.36-3.40 (+150%)
$25: 1.23-3.10 (+152%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: More Bottom-Plays

Seres Therapeutics, Inc. MCRB

It was a pretty slow start to the week yesterday with the markets gapping up early, but falling into decline throughout the session. That didn’t stop the one fresh idea we did have in our morning report from posting a respectable performance on the day.

We referred to MCRB as a ‘prime bottom play’ and while it didn’t exactly explode out of the gate, what we did see was certainly a step in the right direction. From a low of 2.63, the stock ran a modest but solid 16% to a high of 3.06. More importantly, it preserved its momentum by holding the three-dollar mark into the close. A good first day by any stretch of the imagination.

We’ll continue to monitor our longer term options idea that we included, the MCRB 07/19 $2.50 Calls which stand to do well in coming weeks if the stock can continue to maintain the current trend. Yesterday’s session was the fourth consecutive day that the stock has recorded higher lows, and we’ll want to see more of that moving forward.

Verastem Inc. VSTM

Speaking of bottom plays, we’ve got another one to add to our radars this morning in VSTM. This stock has lost a ton of value over the past year, and recently began to show signs of a rebound. We like it for its technical setup and volatility potential. We will remain interested in tracking VSTM for as long as it can maintain support at 1.72 or better.

VSTM is considered by some to be a speculative buyout play as well. Just this week the company has reported positive early stage data on Copiktra, the company’s leukemia treatment under development. Definitely an interesting story to follow.

____

Celestica Inc. CLS

Perhaps even more attractive as a bottom play than the above mentioned stock, we’ve got CLS, which just began to show signs of life after recording a new annual low at the beginning of this month.

If the stock can manage to break its 50DMA at 7.09, there’s a real chance that it could produce significant gains, filling the gap to the topside on the chart. Interesting to naote about CLS as well, is that the company’s EPS has grown by nearly 90% over the past year. When taking that into consideration, its current valuation doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Prime Bottom Play

CarMax, Inc. KMX – Recap

To open things up this week, we’re going to go over the performance of a fresh options ideas from Friday morning’s premarket report. We were tracking the KMX Weekly $85-87.50 Calls and we met with some very good fortune in the form of multi-bag, single session gain opportunities.

All four of the contract sets we watching provided enormous intraday chances, which wasn’t surprising, given the huge help we had last week from a surge in the markets. A strong earnings report from KMX did the rest, and we finished out the week with these superb gains:

$85 Calls – Range: .48-2.55 – Max Gain: 431%
$86 Calls – Range: .27-1.73 – Max Gain: 541%
$87 Calls – Range: .15-1.09 – Max Gain: 627%
$87.50 Calls – Range: .10-.76 – Max Gain: 660%

Fresh Ideas:

Seres Therapeutics, Inc. MCRB

We’re currently very interested in MCRB for multiple reasons. The stock recently touched down on a new annual low, and at the same time, a company director purchased a huge block of shares which amounted to a significant percentage of the overall market cap.

Since then the stock has been trending off of that bottom, with just the sort of volatility potential we’re always after. In addition to the stock itself being a solid candidate for a recovery play, we will also place the MCRB 07/19 $2.50 Calls on watch.
