A Winning Wednesday:

We’re wrapping up this short four day trading week today in good fashion, with a slate of big movers to review from our premarket report yesterday. We offered up three possible plays and all three were wildly successful. That included once again playing the SPY and choosing the right side of the fence to come down on with some puts, which absolutely soared as the markets endured another brutal session.

Our interests for Wednesday were the SPY 04/16 $534-533 Puts, the ASML Weekly $660-655 Puts, and the IBKR Weekly $160 Puts. Here were the huge multibag runs they recorded:

SPY 04/16 $534-533 Puts

Monday’s Movers, 4 New Potential Plays

Reviewing Monday’s Runners:

We got off to a fairly good start for the week on Monday. We put forth three possibilities for options daytrades in our premarket report. and two of them came back with solid gain opportunities on the day. We missed just one of our ideas from Friday as well, so we’ll be doing our best to try to get better on track starting today. Two out of three isn’t half bad, as they say, however we try to hold ourselves to the absolute highest standard.

As for the two successful picks, we had the TSLA Weekly $397-400 Calls, and the NVDA Weekly $141-140 Puts, and both of those targets made some nice moves:

TSLA Weekly $397-400 Calls
$397.50: 
4.43-7.99 (+80%)
$400: 3.90-7.28 (+87%)
_____

NVDA Weekly $141-140 Puts
$141: 2.89-4.69 (+62%)
$140: 2.05-4.00 (+95%)

Monday’s Movers, 4 New Possibilities

Monday’s Runners:

We got off to a pretty good start for the fresh trading week on Monday, having offered up three potential plays in our premarket report, two of which produced instantaneous opportunities. It was a decent way to get things going on a quiet week that began without any earnings or economic impact reports. Things are quiet again today on the earnings front, but we should see the volume of reporters pick up over the course of the week.

As for yesterday’s runners, we had the GBX 07/19 $45 Puts and the INTC Weekly $32-33 Calls make some really nice moves for us. We’ll also roll up on INTC which still looks good for some further positive activity today.

GBX 07/19 $45 Puts
$45:
 .90-3.64 (+304%)
_____

INTC Weekly $32-33 Calls
$32: 1.02-2.12 (+108%)
$32.50: .75-1.71 (+128%)
$33: .53-1.31 (+147%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
INTC Weekly $34.50 Calls
NVDA Weekly $129-130 Calls
SPY 07/09 $555-556 Calls*
HELE 07/19 $70-65 Puts

*Trading options contracts on their day of expiration should only be attempted by experienced day traders

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: QURE Recap & More

uniQure N.V. QURE

We included QURE in our premarket report on Thursday, after the company’s hemophilia gene therapy treatment was advanced to Phase III testing.

What followed was an enormous influx of volume, and two really solid, bullish sessions, advancing from a low of 11.55 on Thursday to a new high of 19.34 on Friday. That works out to a very respectable two-day swing of 67%

It’s the highest PPS QURE has attained since 2015, and the two sessions come in at numbers 1 and 2 highest volume days of all time, so we’d say our alert was timed with absolute precision.


Organovo Holdings, Inc. ONVO

We included ONVO in Friday morning’s extended watchlist, and it also put up a pretty good performance on the day.

From a low of 1.45, the stock traded as high as 1.80 on fairly heavy volume. We’ll want to see the stock continue to establish higher highs and higher lows as it’s coming off of its bottom.


PetMed Express, Inc. PETS

We’d like to signal a post-earnings options idea for PETS this morning, after the company set new records with its Q2 numbers. It’s gapping up significantly in the premarket, and the volume it traded on Friday leading into the release was the highest all month.  We’re going to put the PETS 11/17 $40-50 Calls on watch moving forward.
