Closing Out an Interesting Trading Week

Bearish Retail Targets Fall Despite General Uptrend:

With the state of the markets this week, we had remained primarily focused on bearish signals through to yesterday morning’s report. Even as stocks put forward an impressive rebound on Thursday, the majority of our tracked plays still produced.

Two of our three designated potential targets bucked the trend of the day, both giants in the retail space. The KSS Weekly $58-56.50 Puts and the RL Weekly $130-125 Puts logged very respectable intraday upswings, with four out of those six contract sets recording double-bag gains or better.

Here were those trend-bucking moves, and total potential daily gains for traders: 

KSS Weekly $58-56.50 Puts
$58: 3.00-5.54 (+85%)
$57.50: 2.40-4.00 (+66%)
$57: 1.70-4.22 (+148%)
$56.50: 1.30-3.65 (+181%)

RL Weekly $130-125 Puts
$130: 4.10-10.85 (+165%)
$125: 1.45-6.50 (+348%)

Fresh Options Ideas:

We’re going to flip back over to the other side of the fence this morning and designate some bullish options ideas for today. The scenario with the above mentioned short plays was the exception, not the rule. The typical key to our particular brand of quick-strike trading is to constantly keep your finger on the pulse of the markets and heed the prevailing winds.

DE Weekly $357.50-362.50 Calls

Another Big Trading Week on the Books

Boeing, Equifax, Netflix Updates:

We had some big name earnings reporters toward the end of this week, and we’ve taken full advantage.

Blue Sphere Corp. BLSP

 Once again we’re providing an update on BLSP, which we signaled in Wednesday’s report just prior to the stock making a 114% run from .0028 to .006. After recapping those numbers in yesterday’s report, we saw yet another excellent intraday exhibition from BLSP.

From a low of .0055, the stock pushed to a high of .0093, which represents an upswing of 76% on the day, and a two-day increase of 232% over our observed low on Wednesday. That high fell just one tick shy of the present 50DMA at .0094. Should it manage to breach that level, things could get even more interesting for BLSP, which was trading north of two cents as recently as February.

Options Swing Trade Ideas & More

Recap of Friday’s Plays:

We finished out last week with a bang as we reaped the reward of some very good options ideas. Not only did our fresh ideas from Friday morning in the SPY and TLS pop off for multibag gains, but our targets in DRI from Thursday morning’s premarket report, also tacked on some impressive new highs.

These gains were added in roughly the final 90 minutes of the session, where the markets made an incredible surge into the close that sets this holiday-shortened week up to be very interesting.

Here are the trading ranges and total possible profits on our successful ideas, a couple of which are still active for another couple of weeks before expiration:

SPY Weekly $398-399 Calls 
$398:  1.85-7.63 (+312%)
$398.50: 2.23-6.44 (+189%)
$399: .53-5.32 (+903%)

DRI 04/16 $135-140 Calls

ViacomCBS, Inc. VIAC – Options Idea 

We’ve been taking note of the massive selloff in VIAC over the past week as the company’s massive fundraising efforts resulted in a huge $2.1B block trade priced at roughly $47/share. The stock has come all the way down to those levels and we want to enter a longer-term swing trade idea to coincide.

We are going to radar the VIAC 06/18 $50-55 Calls and keep track of them over the coming weeks and months.
