Perfect Options Trading Week Attained!

Perfect Options Week Completed!

We are extraordinarily pleased to get back into the saddle this morning, because our first order of business as we kick off a fresh week is to congratulate ourselves for the herculean effort we put forth last week for our readers. Despite going with four sets of bearish plays in our premarket report on Friday and the markets having an exceedingly bullish session, all four of our target sets produced big gains in defiance of the overall trends.The performance completed a perfect, mistake-free week of daily options ideas on our part, and we couldn’t be more pleased.

Our targets for Friday were the HCA Weekly $200 Puts, the AXP Weekly $137-135 Puts, the RHI Weekly $75-70 Puts* and the SIVB Weekly $260-250 Puts. Here were the gains they produced, including an absolutely unreal gainer in the AXP chain to the tune of over forty thousand percent!

Closing in On a Perfect Options Trading Week?

Sweeping the Board Yet Again:

It has been one heck of a week for us with regard to our performance on the various options plays we’ve been tracking day to day. For the fourth straight session this week, all of the ideas contained in yesterday’s premarket report ended up posting good numbers on the day. Should all of this morning’s fresh plays yield intraday gain opportunities, that will make the whole week miss-free on our part, which would be an exceedingly impressive feat.

That’s how hot we’ve been, and we’re more than pleased to share it with our followers. Yesterday’s targets were the IBM Weekly $126-128 Calls, the UNP Weekly $200-192.50 Puts, and the TSLA Weekly $210-205 Puts, and here are the potential profit chances they offered us during the session:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPY Update

SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY) – Update

Our fresh options idea to kick off the new trading week yesterday utilizing the SPY started off on a good foot. It’s something we always come back to because of the predictable way it behaves and trades.

We designated the SPY 06/19 $289-290.50 Calls as our contracts of interest, and the markets’ activity played into our hands nicely, for a start. Here were the gains that were made possible on the day yesterday:

$289 Calls – Range: 1.50-2.00 – Max Gain: 33%
$289.50 Calls – Range: 1.24-1.73 – Max Gain: 40%
$290 Calls – Range: 1.00-1.45 – Max Gain: 45%
$290.50 Calls – Range: .80-1.15 – Max Gain: 196%

The SPY is gapping up once again today, and we expect all of these calls to open deep in the money and see new highs. We’re going to continue to monitor these, but also look to roll up and include the $291 and $291.50’s in our watchlist as well.


Robert Half International, Inc. RHI

We’ve got another fresh idea based on the technical setup of the RHI chart, which has been trending up off a double bottom. We see some decent volatility potential, and a topside gap to fill on the chart. This is going to be a longer term idea, which could ultimately turn into a solid recovery play.

We are going to place the RHI 09/20 $55-65 Calls on watch for the weeks and months ahead. RHI most likely wouldn’t even have to fill that gap for us to see results. A run at the 200DMA or even 50DMA would likely produce significant gains in those contracts.
