Friday’s Rippers, 3 New Ideas

Fantastic Friday Finish:

Things really could not have gone much better for us on Friday to close out the short trading week. We had highlighted potential options plays in three chains and got awfully good results from each of the posted ideas in our premarket report for the day. Our 2024 calendar year has been exceptional thus far, with very nearly everything we touch turning to potential gold.

The ideas that we had hashed out for Friday’s session were the SPY 01/19 $478-480 Calls, the TRV Weekly $200-210 Calls, and the SLB Weekly $48-49 Calls, and here were the intraday upswings each of those contract sets recorded on the day:

SPY 01/19 $478-480 Calls
$478: .63-4.71 (+648%)
$479: .33-3.78 (+1045%)
$480: .15-2.83 (+1787%)
_____

TRV Weekly $200-210 Calls
$200: 6.96-11.80 (+69%)
$210: .05-1.90 (+3700%)
_____

SLB Weekly $48-49 Calls
$48: 1.13-2.43 (+115%)
$48.50: .76-1.81 (+138%)
$97: .46-1.36 (+195%)
_____

We also have an update for the longer-term SAVE Calls that we initially highlighted as a possible recovery play in our report this past Wednesday morning. Essentially the stock performed exactly as we said we believed it would, coming down a little lower before bouncing back, and giving us the kind of gains we were looking for. We might have expected it to take slightly longer than it did, but our vision came to fruition by the end of what was a really great short trading week.

SAVE 02/16 $5.00-7.50 Calls
$5.00: .68-2.60 (+282%)
$7.50: .25-1.46 (+484%)

Fresh Options Ideas:

Without any interesting earnings reporters dropping figures this morning, we’re just going to go with a potential play on the SPY, and then we’ve identified a couple of longer-term potential plays to keep an eye on in the days and weeks ahead.

SPY 01/22 $482-483 Calls*
PBF 02/16 $43-44 Calls
NNI 02/16 $85-90 Calls

Extended Watchlist:
ILUS, HLLK, TONR, SALM, PHUN, LYT, LIFW, RVSN, CHRS, SGMT, OCTO, TALO

LVS Recap, New Options Ideas

Las Vegas Sands Corp. LVS

To start things off this week, we want to circle back around to provide an update on a call we made a couple of weeks ago. The Thursday before last, on January 30th, we signaled interest in tracking the LVS 02/28 $68-71 Calls.

The stock had been on a solid run prior to our idea and continued its momentum all the way through to Thursday, before doing any consolidating. Here are the total possible gains that were available to us during that respectable run.

LVS 02/28 $68-71 Calls
$68: 1.35-3.10 (+130%)
$69: 1.12-2.10 (+88%)
$70: .85-2.00 (+135%)
$71: .72-1.50 (+108%)

Fresh Options Ideas:

The earnings reporter list is a little light to start the week, but QSR and L caught our eye, so we’re going to formulate a couple of ideas there. We also noticed some insider bottom-buying on PBF, so we’ll insert a longer-term idea to track a potential recovery on that stock as well.

Restaurant Brands International, Inc. QSR 02/21 $65-67.50 Calls
Loews Corp. L 02/21 $55 Calls
PBF Energy, Inc. PBF 03/20 $28-30 Calls

Reviewing Yesterday’s Ideas, Highlighting New Ones

Reviewing Yesterday’s Plays

We had a number of bearish options ideas that we listed in yesterday morning’s premarket report, and thanks to a lackluster performance for the markets at large, as well as ongoing concerns about the rapidly spreading coronavirus, we got some early returns off of those targets.

The gains are modest so far, but we’ll continue to track the lot of them as the week progresses.

DAL Weekly $57-56 Puts
$57: 1.20-1.90 (+58%)
$56.50: .96-1.56 (+62%)
$56: .78-1.18 (+51%)
_____

UAL Weekly $80-79 Puts
$80: 2.77-3.75 (+35%)
$79: 2.00-3.00 (+50%)
_____

SPY Weekly $325-322 Puts*
$325: 1.85-2.92 (+58%)
$322: .97-1.65 (+70%)

*There were a couple other SPY contracts within this range, that produced similar gains to those listed above.

Fresh Options Ideas

LMT Weekly $435-440 Calls
BIIB Weekly $282.50-285 Calls
PBF 06/19 $28-30 Calls

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Post-Earnings Options Plays

Energizer Holdings, Inc. ENR

We’ve been seeking out prime bottom play opportunities this week, and to continue that trend, we’ve run across Energizer this morning on the heels of the stock registering a new annual low yesterday.

In conjunction with the fact that Deutsche Bank just upgraded ENR from a Hold to a Buy rating with a price target of $52/share (trading in the $37-range yesterday), along with indicators that the stock is heavily oversold, and we are confident in calling this one a prime bottom play candidate as well.

Fresh Options Plays

We also have a pair of fresh earnings-related options ideas to pass along this morning. Post-earnings plays are typically our miost successful, and we’ve got a couple of good hunches about the following contracts as we cruise through this midweek.

FedEx Corp. FDX – Already in a good spot on the chart for a possible rebound leading into today’s session with a strong double-bottom setup, we’re looking to FDX options as FedEx’s Q4 results yielded a profits and earnings beat. As a result, we’re going to be tracking the FDX Weekly $157.50-60 Calls.

Micron Technology, Inc. MU – We are also looking at MU, which reported in the post-market yesterday as well, posting a beat on Q3 earnings, and bolstered guidance for sales of computer memory chips. Like the above mentioned play, MU is giving off a heavy multi-bottom signal. In this case we are interested in monitoring the MU Weekly $35-36.50 Calls.

Extended Watchlist:
AMR, SNX, VTVT, FCEL, PBF, APTX, FPAY, PES, TLGT, RIOT

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Explosion

Adobe, Inc. ADBE – Update

ADBE continued its incredible performance just as we said it would in yesterday morning’s premarket report. We had already tracked our idea, the ADBE Weekly $285-290 Calls to gains roughly in the area of 150-230% on Wednesday.

The updated figures after yesterday’s huge session are very impressive indeed. Here are the total possible gains that options daytraders could have netted off of our alert.

$289 Calls – Range: 2.94-17.49 – Max Gain: 495%
$289.50 Calls – Range: 1.83-14.68 – Max Gain: 702%
$290 Calls – Range: 1.07-12.52 – Max Gain: 1070%

This is the reason that we spend most of our time these days focusing on quick-strike options ideas. The short-term gain potential exceeds even that of the OTC Markets, which used to be our primary area of focus, many years ago.
