BJ Recap, Fresh Options Ideas

BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings Inc. BJ – Recap

As usual, we put out some fresh options ideas in yesterday mornings report, and despite a poor showing for the markets in general, we did see some instant success with our one-contract target in the BJ’s chain.

We had highlighted the BJ 06/19 $30 Calls for observation and the stock provided us with a great opportunity for huge gains with its own move from from 30.39 to 35.45 (+17%). The $30 Calls ran from 1.50-5.60, for an enormous intraday rip of 273%

We will also roll up to include the 06/19 $40 Calls on our watchlist heading into the long weekend, as the momentum from yesterday’s big move could certainly spill over.


Fresh Options Ideas*:
DE Weekly $145-148 Calls
PANW Weekly $235-245 Calls
BABA Weekly $205-207.50 Calls

*Please DO NOT attempt to trade options contracts with a weekly expiration on a Friday unless you are an advanced-level trader with access to disposable funds!

OTC Updates

Given the turbulent forecast for the markets at large yesterday, our extended watchlist was comprised solely of stocks listed on the OTC Markets.

Range: .1483-.33 | Gain: 123%

Hypertension Diagnostic, Inc. HDII

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