Longer-Term Options Plays & More

Smith & Wesson, Adobe Options Review:

As usual on Friday morning we formulated some fresh options ideas for the day, and just like usual, we met with some serious intraday gain opportunities. We had some targets in the SWBI Weekly $20 Calls and the ADBE Weekly $555-570 Calls and found success across the board.

In both cases the daily activity on the stock was enough to propel our designated targets to some serious moves and gain chances for our readers. SWBI saw a big move that was good enough to record it as the 6th highest gainer on the big boards for the session and it scored us a four-bagger on our tracked contract set!

Here were the total possible profits that were on the table for anyone who caught our report:

SWBI Weekly $20 Calls
$20: .70-3.51 (+401%)
_____

ADBE Weekly $555-570 Calls
$555: 5.30-12.92 (+144%)
$560: 2.02-8.20 (+306%)
$565: .43-3.53 (+721%)
$570: .86-2.02 (+135%)

We began tracking the ASO 06/18 $35-40 Calls a week ago today, in our premarket report on the 8th. Over the five ensuing sessions, the stock managed to achieve higher highs each day.

That momentum provided for some reasonably impressive multi-bag swings in our targeted contract sets:

ASO 06/18 $35-40 Calls
$35: 3.10-6.95 (+124%)
$40: .80-2.32 (+190%)

PHI Group, Inc. PHIL – Recap:

Also in that same June 8th report, we tagged PHIL, a subpenny play that underwent a nice dip-and-rip and ran right into penny territory.

From a low of .0055, we’ve witnessed the stock make a run to its new high of .015 yesterday. That works out to a highly respectable run of 173% Volume over the same period has been greatly increased as well, so we’ll continue to keep an eye peeled for continued momentum.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Updates, New Ideas

SPY Review

On Friday, as we usualy do, we signaled some last minute ideas for options trading. In this case we called the SPY Weekly $292 Calls, and we wanted to update readers on the performance those put forth.

Thanks to a surge in the markets later in the day, which ran hard into the close, the SPY took off, and brought our trading idea with it. From a low of .37, the $292 Calls ran as high as 2.23. That was good for a single-day move of 503%

These instances should serve as an ongoing reminder of why we’ve shifted main focus to quick-strike options trading over the years. We have several multi-bag gainers like this each week. Case in point: Prior to this SPY Call we even had a couple of thousand percent gainers last week as well. We’ll attempt to find similar success once again as we kick off this holiday-shortened split trading week.

Fresh Idea:
SPY Weekly $295-296 Calls

MGM Resorts International Inc. MGM

We’ve been tracking a range of MGM contracts over the past few weeks, and the push into the close on Friday helped move the needle here as well.

Our targets have been the MGM 08/16 $28-30 Calls and while we have seen some decent little moves so far, there’s still plenty of time remaining before expiration. We wouldn’t be surprised to have to revisit these ideas again for more updates on added gains in the sessions to come.

$28 Calls – Range: 1.09-1.66 – Max Gain: 52%
$29 Calls – Range: .74-1.17 – Max Gain: 58%
$30 Calls – Range: .44-.75 – Max Gain: 70%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: REV Form-4 Alert

General Mills, Inc. GIS

Tracking back to an idea we formulated on Wednesday morning, the GIS 04/18 $47.50-50 Calls, we saw some really nice activity in those contracts thanks to a bullish session for the markets on the whole.

Both of our designated targets managed to post multi-bag gains. The $47.50 Calls made a nice swing from 1.40-2.85, representing a gain of 104% The $50’s fared even better, trading in a range from .27-.94, an increase of 248%

Darden Restaurants, Inc. DRI

For a fresh idea yesterday, we went with the DRI 04/18 $115 Calls and saw a solid performance there as well. This set of contracts turned up with an even double-bagger as they ran from a low of 1.15, and reached a 3.30 high.

As is the case with many of the plays we selected this week, there’s still plenty of time remaining until expiration, so the possibility of seeing further useful activity down the line is not out of the question.

Revlon, Inc. REV – Form-4 Alert

Speaking of plenty of time, we are going to go farther out with this next fresh idea than we are typically accustomed to going. This idea could theoretically be in play for the next 5 months. We’ll track the REV 08/16 $22.50-25 Calls.

This is after noticing the stock recovering from a recent severe beating, in unison with Form-4 filings indicating the purchase of over $7M in stock by a REV insider on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, as the stock was flagging heavily.
