Friday’s Big Gainers, 3 Fresh Plays

Close, But No Cigar:

Well, we NEARLY did what we set out to do on Friday, which was to seal our fourth straight week of nothing but successful daily options picks. We offered up four possibilities, and three of them delivered. Unfortunately our targets in the INTU chain were simply too deep in the money to trade volume by the time the opening bell rang. However, 19 days without a bad idea is still an absolutely incredible feat, and we’re very proud of it.

Our premarket report winners for the session were the SPY 08/23 $557-559 Calls, the WDAY Weekly $260-265 Calls, and the CAVA Weekly $108-110 Calls. The gains they produced more than made up for missing on a single idea:

SPY 08/23 $557-559 Calls
$557:
 1.47-5.61 (+282%)
$557.50: 1.20-5.16 (+330%)

Closing Out a Fruitful Trading Week

Options Recap: 

We offered up a good mix of options ideas in yesterday morning’s premarket report, most of which worked out for us. We’ll leave out the September calls we signaled in CRMT because that idea is going to take a little time to mature, but the other three plays we highlighted turned in solid performances on the day.

We were looking at the CAG 04/08 $35-33 Puts, the STZ 04/08 $237.50-232.50 Puts, and the LW 04/15 $60 Calls. and got some pretty good intraday movement there.

2nd & 3rd Thousand Percent Gainers of the Year!

Inpixon INPX

We’re circling back this morning to update the new highs that we got from INPX on Friday. We were just mentioning in the premarket that morning, we have been tracking the stock since our report on 12/02. subsequent to which time we would observe a low of .037.

Friday’s new high came in at .65, which marks an incredible increase of 1657% in just over a month since our initial alert! The move registered as the second highest daily gainer on the NASDAQ for Friday, and the second thousand percent gainer we’ve delivered for our newsletter subscribers for the New Year!


Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. LW – Options Recap

Speaking of thousand percent gainers, we also bagged our third of 2020 with our fresh options idea from Friday morning’s report! We put the Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. LW 01/17 $85-90 Calls on watch, and the single session gain opportunities were excellent, including a twelve-bagger!

The $85 Calls ran from 1.76-9.30 for total gains of up to 428%, while the $90 Calls exploded from a low of .35 all the way up to 4.80. That goes down as an awesome intraday run of 1271%

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: Big Win Friday

Recapping Friday’s Winners

If you check our report from Friday morning, you’ll see that we highlighted a couple of sets of weekly options ideas, and we’d like to kick off this short trading week with a review of the total possible gains which were available for anyone who caught our alerts.

SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY) -Expecting to see some reasonably bullish activity based off of the conditions we observed on Friday in the premarket, we decided to make our go-to move of signaling some short-term SPY ideas. Out of that group, the Weekly $289 Calls were the most attractive play. Those traded up from a low of .55-1.54, for total possible gains of up to 180%

The Walt Disney Co. DIS – We caught DIS gapping up on our morning scan Friday, and it was cruising in the premarket. It turned into a classic gap-and-go for us as our ideas, the Weekly $122-125 Calls, which all soared.
