Using Market Fears for Added Leverage

Deere & Co. DE 

We had a pair of options ideas set for the Deere chain in Friday’s premarket report, and despite the markets getting rocked, they managed some fantastic multi-bag gains for ourselves and our readers.

The targets were the Deere & Co. DE Weekly $175-177.50 Calls, and both contract sets recorded stupendous gains as the stock bucked the overall trend of the day.

DE Weekly $175-177.50 Calls
$175: 2.27-7.00 (+208%)
$177.50: .99-4.57 (+362%)

Fresh Options Ideas

The markets appear to be headed for another difficult session due to continued coronavirus fears among other things, so our fresh options ideas today will be bearish, with the exception of SON, which is exhibiting a good technical setup to put it on longer term watch for a possible rebound in the weeks and months ahead.

INTU Weekly $290-287.50 Puts
PANW Weekly $240-235 Puts
SON 04/17 $55-60 Calls

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PANW Pops & More

Palo Alto Networks, Inc. PANW

Fresh for yesterday’s morning report, we offered up an idea for the PANW chain, the PANW Weekly $215-222.50 Calls. With the aid of an excellent session for the markets as a whole, PANW went with the trend and produced enough intraday movement to provide us with significant single-session gain opportunities.

Here were the maximum possible gains that were on the table for the day, which were, quite frankly, very impressive:

$215 Calls – Range: .20-2.06 – Max Gain: 930%
$217.50 Calls – Range: .15-1.05 – Max Gain: 600%
$220 Calls – Range: .06-.38 – Max Gain: 533%
$222.50 Calls – Range: .06-.20 – Max Gain: 233%

Our next order of business as we close out this holiday-shortened week is to provide further updates on PVH. We scored multi-bag gains with all three of our highlighted contracts,  the PVH 09/20 $75-85 Calls on Wednesday, and cautioned readers that more gains could be on the way in yesterday’s report.

That’s exactly what occurred, so this morning we are updating the highs on our ideas, which extend the total possible profits over a two-day span by a significant margin. 

$75 Calls – Range: 5.10-9.89 – Max Gain: 94%
$80 Calls – Range: 2.00-5.60 – Max Gain: 180%
$85 Calls – Range: .55-2.49 – Max Gain: 353%

OPTIONS REVIEW
–
We formulated two options ideas for yesterday morning’s premarket report, and with the help of a gap-and-go session for the overall markets, we saw appreciable gains in each and every contract we had designated for observation.

SPDR S&P500 (ETF) SPY -The SPY is always our go-to when we have a gut feeling about market sentiments, and the number of times we’ve found success with trading its options is practically uncountable at this point. Yesterday’s idea was no exception.

Our targets, the SPY Weekly 292-293.50 Calls performed admirably, providing ourselves and our readers with the following profit chances:

$292 Calls – Range: .91-2.04 – Max Gain: 124%
$292.50 Calls – Range: .60-1.53 – Max Gain: 155%
$293 Calls – Range: .33-1.07 – Max Gain: 224%
$293.50 Calls – Range: .14-.61 – Max Gain: 336%

PVH Corp. PVH

Following a large Form-4 buy on the part of the CEO, we were interested in a longer-term play on PVH, highlighting the PVH 09/20 $75-85 Calls and those were able to get some traction on our first day of observation.

With an expiration still two weeks away, we’ll have plenty of time to realize any further gains, but the first day performance is certainly worthy of mentioning.

$75 Calls – Range: 5.10-7.02 – Max Gain: 38%
$80 Calls – Range: 2.00-3.40 – Max Gain: 70%
$85 Calls – Range: .55-1.25 – Max Gain: 127%

Fresh Options Idea:
PANW Weekly $215-222.50 Calls
