Closing Out a Strong Trading Week

More Options Winners

All things considered, things shaped up pretty good for us this week on the options trading front. We had potential gains to report each and every day, and today is no exception. Yesterday morning’s fresh ideas in LLY and ORLY played very nicely in the wake of each company’s quarterly earnings drop.

LLY was the big score, however the ORLY was a longer-term idea with almost a month until expiration, so we may yet see some bigger moves from those in the weeks to come.

LLY Weekly $155-160 Calls  
$155: 2.81-7.50 (+158%)
$157.50: .81-5.16 (+297%)
$160: .50-3.10 (+252%)
_____

ORLY 05/15 $390-400 Calls 
$390: 7.00-12.46 (+110%)
$400: 7.39-11.00 (+184%)

Fresh Ideas – We’ll also go ahead and form a few fresh ideas to close out the week. We’re seeing insider buys on HAL near its recently established bottom, and we’ve got earnings reports from AXP and that are driving early activity in those plays.

Haliburton Co. HAL 05/29 $10-11 Calls
American Express Co. AXP Weekly $83-85 Calls
Edwards Lifesciences Corp. EW Weekly $225-235 Calls

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: BA Update & More

The Boeing Co. BA – Options Update

Our first order of business this morning is to go over the fantastic options idea we formulated on Monday morning, after a massively deadly air disaster involving one of Boeing’s new model Max 8 737’s occurred over the weekend. Our targets were the BA Weekly $375-367.50 Puts, and not only did they all work, but they all exploded for huge multi-bag gains in an incredible 2-day swing of ten-to-twelve baggers!

$375 Puts – Range: 1.07-12.05 – Max Gain: 1026%
$372.50 Puts – Range: 1.00-11.00 – Max Gain: 1000%
$370 Puts – Range: .73-9.94 – Max Gain: 1262%
$367.50 Puts – Range: .72-8.59 – Max Gain: 1093%

We’re going to flip this idea on its head after learning this morning that Boeing stands to make significant gains as a result of the Trump Admin’s $700B+ DoD budget request. We’ll look to the BA Weekly $380-385 Calls.


Momo, Inc. MOMO

We never stop hitting up options chains with good ideas that allow us to see big gains in a short timespan. You could check through years of our archives and see for yourself, but simply reading our daily reports is more than enough to get the gist. The cycle doesn’t stop.

Fresh for yesterday morning’s report, we signaled our interest in tracking the MOMO Weekly $34.50-36 Calls, and those all worked out beautifully as well in just a single session.

$34.50 Calls – Range: 1.85-3.30 – Max Gain: 78%
$35 Calls – Range: 1.50-3.12 – Max Gain: 108%
$35.50 Calls – Range: 1.20-2.50 – Max Gain: 108%
$36 Calls – Range: 1.00-2.10 – Max Gain: 110%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: APHA, MDCA & More

Aphria, Inc. APHA

Yesterday morning in our premarket report, we said that the unusually high short interest in APHA was one of the factors playing into our decision to designate it as a bottom-watch play. The rebound we were looking for came instantaneously for us with APHA heating up, and the short squeeze was on.

From a low of 3.75, the stock cruised on up to a high of 5.59 for a daily burst amounting to 49% on considerable volume. We’ll be looking for APHA to continue to make up some of the ground it has lost over the past month.


MDC Partners, Inc. MDCA

Another stock we included as a bottom play yesterday, MDCA also experienced a solid performance on the day. It traded from a low of 2.57 on up to 3.29, for a moderate but respectable 28% gain.

It also factored in as the NASDAQ’s fourth largest gainer of the session. The run came to an end right around an area of previous resistance, so we’ll look for it to break that top in the sessions ahead.


Fresh Options Ideas

Cronos Group Inc. CRON Weekly $13-15 Calls* – As we were just mentioning on Tuesday, we first tagged CRON back on Halloween, at which time the stock was trading at a low of 7.10.

SDPR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) Weekly $268-270 Calls*
