SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY) – Recap

We went bullish on the SPY in our premarket report yesterday, and thanks to two distinct intraday pushes for the markets, there were opportunities across the board for our highlighted contracts throughout the session.

Those targets were the daily SPY 03/18 $281-282 Calls, and we saw significant moves from all three. The $281.50 Calls traded in a range from .34-1.06 for an overall upswing of 212% while the $282’s traded up from .15 to .58, a gain of 287% (We mistakenly lost exact data for the $281 calls, but the gain opportunities were very similar to those of the other two strike points.) 

The Michaels Companies, Inc. MIK

We also want to signal a set of contracts on MIK, which was the one listing on this morning’s earnings calendar that jumped out to us the most. Michaels posted an earnings beat, but also happens to be trading near its annual lows.

We’re going to approach this like we would any other play with bottom-bouncer written all over it, by signaling some longer-term calls to give ourselves some extra time to see the recovery play out. We’re going to radar the MIK 04/18 $12.50 Calls and monitor their activity in the days and weeks ahead.

The Week’s Top Winners

Cisco Systems, Inc. CSCO – Among our fresh options ideas that we provided readers in yesterday’s premarket report, was a range of calls in the CSCO chain after the company issued much better Q1 figures than were expected.

Our targets were the CSCO Weekly $45-50-47.50 Calls and not only did they all produce instant opportunities for single-session profits, but those gains ended up being absolutely huge multi-bag intraday runs:

$45.50 Calls – Range: .40-1.33 – Max Gain: 232%
$46 Calls – Range: .20-.91 – Max Gain: 355%
$46.50 Calls – Range: .10-.54 – Max Gain: 440%
$47 Calls – Range: .03-.30 – Max Gain: 900%
$47.50 Calls – Range: .03-.11 – Max Gain: 266%

We also had signled the Amarin Corp AMRN Weekly $15.50-17 Calls  and those too produced multi-bag rips across the board:

$15.50 Calls – Range: 1.22-3.90 – Max Gain: 220%
$16 Calls – Range: 1.00-3.00 – Max Gain: 200%
$16.50 Calls – Range: .69-2.90 – Max Gain: 320%
$17 Calls – Range: .52-2.00 – Max Gain: 285%

Today, we’ll look to potentially roll up our strike prices on AMRN to the Weekly $17 & $18 Calls*.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: NBEV Update & More

New Age Beverages Corp. NBEV

The performance of NBEV has been absolutely incredible this week, and we’ve been sticking with it the whole way. We were just mentioning yesterday morning how the stock set its all time single session record move on Wednesday, and yesterday set another new all time high for the second day in a row!

NBEV traded in a range from 5.27 to 7.85 (+49%) which also marked a total rise of 423% over our observed low of 1.50 following our initial alert on the 4th of this month. In post-market trading activity, the stock actually reached 10.34, which extends that figure to a gain of 589% in a matter of just twelve trading days!

With NBEV firmly in Blue Sky territory, there’s no telling where this ride will let off, but in and of itself, the performance exhibited by this play in recent weeks has been nothing short of amazing.

Altimmune, Inc. ALT

Speaking of September 4th, that was also the morning that we tagged ALT for observation, and despit a very slow start to the month, this stock has absolutely exploded this week as well, even more so than NBEV.

ALT has traded in an absolutely mammoth intraweek range from a low of 4.27 to yesterday’s new high of 36.25. That’s an upswing amounting to 749% The fact that we’ve routinely come up with big board plays that blow their lids shows that while we’ve come a long way from the days of our focusing solely on penny stocks, we are still more than capable of identifying movers on the upper exchanges that are just as impressive!

SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) – Recap 

Our fresh options trading idea for the SPY yesterday also bore fruit- after we signaled the SPY Weekly $291.50-292.50 Calls, all three contracts produced significant chances for traders to net a solid intraday profit.

$91 Calls – Range: .95-2.40 – Max Gain: 153%
$92 Calls – Range: .71-1.92 – Max Gain: 170%
$93 Calls – Range: .46-1.42 – Max Gain: 209%
