7-Day Win Streak, Fresh Plays

Another Perfect Run:

We offered up a mixed bag in terms of bears and bulls on our list of fresh options ideas from yesterday morning’s premarket report, and the session for the markets as a whole experienced a similar kind of day. That helped out with generating the kind of volatile activity that can be a boon to day traders. Once again, we swept the board with all of our daily options targets, which goes down in the books as our 7TH consecutive trading day without a single flat prospect.

Yesterday’s ideas were the CVS Weekly $73-71 Puts, the EL 05/19 $220-210 Puts and the KHC Weekly $40-41 Calls. The KHC Calls were definitely the big standouts for the day, but there were some really nice moves in the other plays as well. Here’s how it all shook out for the session:

CVS Weekly $73-71 Puts

 1.85-3.55 (+92%)

Options Gains, Fresh Ideas & More

Options Review:

As we cruise right past the halfway point of this holiday shortened week, we’re heading into another period of an exceptionally meager earnings calendar. It will be more than a month before we begin to see a plethora of daily reporters, but as always we will strive our hardest to bring you quality ideas on a daily basis.

Yesterday we managed to hit on three of our four sets of new ideas, with the fourth being longer-term October calls that will need some time to realize their potential. Our successful targets were the PATH 09/17 $65-55 Puts, the COUP Weekly $265-275 Calls, and the KFY 09/17 $70-80 Calls. We got some really nice intraday activity out of each of those plays.

PATH 09/17 $65-55 Puts

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Success Continues

OPTIONS REVIEW

First thing’s first today, we’re going to highlight the total possible gains which have resulted from options ideas we’ve posted in our morning reports over the past three trading days.

On Friday morning, we slated the GlaxoSmithKline plc GSK 05/17 $41 Calls for observation, and have seen a very solid increase since then. The $41 Calls were trading as low as .32 the morning of our alert, and yesterday, reached a high of .65. That marks a three-day swing of 103% The company posted an earnings beat this morning, so we’ll continue to monitor for any further potential progress here.
_____

Yesterday morning, we flagged the Seagate Technology plc STX Weekly $46.50-47.50 Calls, and were met with instant good fortune with those ideas. The single-session gains on this set of ideas was excellent:

$46.50 Calls – Range: 1.02-2.25 – Max Gain: 121%
$47 Calls – Range: .75-1.65 – Max Gain: 120%
$47.50 Calls – Range: .75-1.35 – Max Gain: 80%

Lastly, also in yesterday’s report, we had the GE Weekly $10 Calls, and those fared reasonably well also, trading in a daily range from .19-.35 (+84%).

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: BLDV Recap & More

Blue Diamond Ventures, Inc. BLDV

After being discussed in our daily live trader’s chat on Thursday, BLDV went on a run from .0005-.0017, as we were mentioning in Friday’s morning report.

With another solid session to follow, BLDV became the second multi-day cannabis-related runner yielded by our chatroom in as many weeks (INMG being the other). The stock traded in a healthy range from .0016 to .0029, for an 81% intraday pop, which came with a massive surge in volume in the neighborhood of 9X the monthly average.

Those who did happen to catch the low following the chatroom alert on Thursday would have had the chance at carving out a large slice of a two-day swing that amounted to a whopping 480% That’s precisely why we’ve been routinely encouraging readers of our daily reports to get involved with our daily live chats.

NanoSensors, Inc. NNSR

An honorable mention from Friday’s report was NNSR, which we had tagged in our extended watchlist. The stock made an appreciable intraday move from a low of .00695 to a high of a penny. That was good for a 44% pop, although the stock failed to maintain at least half of its gains into the close.

Still, we’ll continue to monitor this play as we kick off a new trading week, as it has the type of volatility that could easily facilitate another bullish push.


NoHo, Inc. DRNK

Continuing along, with the recent trend of super-subpenny movers, we’re taking a flier on DRNK which was showing an increase in volume last week on the heels of key announcement to hit press wires.

The pickup in activity seems to have been tied primarily to the announcement of a national sales and distribution agreement with BNG Enterprises, Inc. out of Tempe, Arizona (www.bngprodx.com). The agreement provides BNG the exclusive rights to sell the NOHO 2oz Shot throughout its nationwide retail stores as well as online sales through Amazon®.

Assuming that this super-subpenny will break into the subpenny range or higher like some of the similarly-priced stocks we’ve been tracking in recent weeks would be only speculation at this point. But we’ve seen enough triple-zero plays break out in such a short period, that we’ll definitely want to keep a close eye out for more opportunities like that, and DNRK could easily be the next one to go for a big ride.


International Business Machines Corp. IBM

We took notice of the IBM chart this morning, and would like to signal a set of extended-term options contracts for observation based on our perception of the stock. From a purely technical standpoint, IBM looks like it could have slighlty further to fall before making a convincing reversal, but indicators also suggest the stock is heavily oversold, so that change could happen at any time.

The stock showed a slight inclination to come up off of its lows last week, and there is also a pretty sizable gap to the upside to roughly the $170 area. We’re going to place the IBM 06/16 $165 Calls on watch as a result, and if IBM can make a move to return to $170 by the expiration date, these contracts could be in line for a double or even triple-bag move.
