More Winning Options Plays

CRWD & PDD Options Update:

We’ve been cruising right along this week with some really nice options plays yielding up considerable gain chances for ourselves and our readers. Our newsletters yesterday morning contained a bullish and a bearish idea in the CRWD and PDD chains, respectively.

Both companies had just released their earnings reports, and appeared to be gearing up to go in opposite directions. We targeted the CRWD Weekly $197.50-202.50 Calls and the PDD Weekly $152.50-148 Puts, and in both cases, our hunches paid off, with the CRWD ideas clearly being the more potent of the two. .

Here is the rundown of the single-session performances recorded by these plays:

CRWD Weekly $197.50-202.50 Calls
$197.50: 3.15-14.00 (+344%)
$200: 2.40-12.07 (+403%)
$202.50: 1.86-10.00 (+438%)

PDD Weekly $12.50-148 Puts
$152.50: 8.01-12.95 (+62%)
$150: 6.28-11.25 (+79%)
$149: 5.00-10.02 (+101%)
$148: 6.45-10.15 (+57%)

Fresh Options Ideas:

We’ve got another batch of earnings calendar plays this morning in the solar and retail spaces. Here are the chains and possible strike ranges that we find interesting today:

CSIQ Weekly $43.50-46 Calls
WOOF Weekly $25 Calls
WSM Weekly $145-155 Calls

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: NTNX Update & More

Nutanix, Inc. NTNX

We began highlighting NTNX just a week ago in our report from the morning of March 12th. On that day the stock saw a low of 35.20, as we signaled the NTNX 05/19 $40-42.50 Calls for longer-term observation.

We wanted to provide an update on both the stock and our options targets this morning, as NTNX has produced a very solid and steady uptrend since the morning of our initial alert. Yesterday, NTNX ran to a new high of 42.21. That marked a 1-week increase of 20% and it allowed for some nice moves in our highlighted contracts.

The $40 Calls have thus far traded in a range from 1.96 to 4.20 for a gain of 114% while the $42.50’s ran from 1.21-2.85, an increase of 136% NTNX is only halfway to filling the topside gap on itas chart, and there’s plenty of time remaining until expiration. We’ll be interested to see if the stock can pile on even more gains.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: 2800% Gainer & More

Canopy Growth Corp. CGC

CGC has been a hot topic for us since last Wednesday when we alerted readers that we’d be tracking the CGC 09/21 $30-40 Calls. This is now the fourth time since then that we’ve had to come back and update the total possible gains on our ideas, because the stock has been in bull mode throughout.

CGC shares alone have risen from a low of 29.05 up as high as 42.85, marking a 48% increase in just six trading days. On a nearly thirty dollar stock, it’s an eye popping turn of events.

It’s the gains in our designated options contracts that have been really impressive, adding new highs nearly every day. Here are the enormous ranges and possible gains on our ideas since last Wednesday:

$30 Calls – Range: 1.76-12.70 – Max Gain: 622%
$35 Calls – Range: .56-8.20 – Max Gain: 1364%
$40 Calls – Range: .16-4.70 – Max Gain: 2838%

Williams-Sonoma, Inc. WSM

Fresh for yesterday morning’s report, we included an idea to correspond with Williams Sonoma’s strong quarterly earnings report, and it’s a good thing we did. Those also provided us and our readers with the chance at multi-bag intraday gains!

Our targets were the WSM 09/21 $67.50 & $70 Calls. The $67.50’s traded in a range from 2.40-6.40 for a gain of 167% while the $70’s made their run from 1.05-4.60, representing a gain of 338%

FRESH OPTIONS IDEAS:
AMD Weekly $22.50 & 23 Calls
ADSK Weekly $147-150 Calls
SPLK Weekly $114-117 Calls

Seven Stars Cloud Group Inc SSC

After targeting SSC for observation on July 24th and subsequently witnessing a move of 170%+, we suggested that folks be lookout for a dip-and-rip to possibly see even more gains.

It has come to pass exactly as we expected, and the dip-and-rip pattern took the stock to a low of 2.71 before shooting back to 4.35. That’s an upswing amounting to 61%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TGT Review & More

Target Corp. TGT

For a fresh set of options ideas yesterday morning, we had signaled the TGT Weekly $87.50-89 Calls for observation after the company recorded its best quarterly figures in a decade.

Despite posting a red candle on the day, the early activity in the stock was sufficient to provide our selected options contracts with the juice to make some respectable intraday rips.

$87.50 Calls – Range: .70-1.50 – Max Gain: 114%
$88 Calls – Range: .55-1.22 – Max Gain: 122%
$88.50 Calls – Range: .43-.95 – Max Gain: 121%
$89 Calls – Range: .14-.40 – Max Gain: 186%

FRESH IDEAS:

We’ll continue to stick with big name earnings plays as long as they’re on the table. Earnings related options trading has become our bread and butter, and for good reason. As TGT proved yesterday, we don’t even need for these stocks to close in the green to give us what we’re looking for- all we need is the right early morning activity.

Today we’ve got a pair of fresh ideas that also just reported earnings. We’re going to be monitoring the Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. BABA Weekly $180-185 Calls, and the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. WSM 09/21 $67.50 & $70 Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Winning Options Calls & More

Yesterday’s Winning Options Ideas

We signaled our interest in a range of contracts from three separate options chains yesterday morning, and unsurprisingly, the potential for quick-strike single-session gains was present in all three.

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Our AAPL idea was definitely the most solid of the day, with our highlighted Weekly $98-99 Calls each making an appreciable intraday spike:

$98 Calls – Trading Range: .78-1.92 – Max Gain: 146%
$98.50 Calls – Trading Range: .55-1.51 – Max Gain: 175%
$99 Calls– Trading Range: .36-1.15 – Max Gain: 219%

The extended-term play we targeted also made a big move. The AAPL 07/17 $101 Calls traded in a range from .79-1.37, for a nice 73% rip. We’ll want to continue tracking this set of contracts in sessions to come, with plenty of time before their expiration.

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) – Next up were the SPY Weekly $208-210 Calls, which we were pretty sure would produce some decent action based purely on the overall market sentiment we were observing leading up to our submission of the idea. Our assumption proved to be spot-on, and we observed some excellent moves during the session:

$208 Calls – Trading Range: 1.13-1.97 – Max Gain: 74%
$208.50 Calls – Trading Range: .81-1.56 – Max Gain: 93%
$209 Calls– Trading Range: .55-1.19 – Max Gain: 116%
$209.50 Calls– Trading Range: .33-.86 – Max Gain: 161%
$210 Calls– Trading Range: .20-.60 – Max Gain: 200%

_____

Computer Sciences Corp. CSC – As a bonus idea we called attention to the CSC 06/17 $44-48 Calls and while a couple of the contracts contained in that range failed to trade any notable volume, respectable gains were still there for the taking in the other three:

$45 Calls– Trading Range: 3.20-5.05 – Max Gain: 58%
$47 Calls– Trading Range: 1.65-2.75 – Max Gain: 66%
$48 Calls– Trading Range: 1.25-3.48 – Max Gain: 178%

This is why we love options trading. Out of thirteen sets of contracts we slated for tracking, having eleven produce the opportunity for big gains, and seven of those produce chances at gains of more than 100% is a perfect illustration of why we have not focused solely upon stocks for years now.
