Hercules Offshore, Inc. HERO
We had HERO figured for a bottom-watch play, and began mentioning the stock a couple of weeks ago for the first time since last summer. After seeing a significant gap-down to start the week, the stock has responded by posting a couple green candles on the chart.
HERO is trending off of a multiple bottom, and is now going to be on our list as a potential momentum play. From the included chart below you can plainly see the kind of volatile swings the stock is capable of making. We’ll be on the lookout for it to first fill in that gap, followed by a breach of the 200DMA. Should that occur, we could see another series of gains resembling those from February and March.
Computer Sciences Corp. CSC – Options Update
Next we want to update our readers on an extended-term options idea we submitted last Wednesday. Despite already seeing significant intraweek moves from contracts within our highlighted range of CSC 06/17 $44-48 Calls, yesterday brought along further opportunities. The gains perhaps weren’t of the magnitude that we’re accustomed to seeing in many of our options plays, but they were solid chances for profits nonetheless:
$45 Calls – Range: 3.20-4.20 – Max Gain: 31%
$47 Calls – Range: 1.65-2.80 – Max Gain: 70%
$48 Calls – Range: 1.25-2.20 – Max Gain: 76%
CafePress, Inc. PRSS
Lastly, another quick idea to add to the mix in PRSS. Aside from the chart being technically attractive, trading near relative lows at a double-bottom, we’re also interested in PRSS for the Form-4 that was filed last week showing a major investor picking up a sizable chunk to add to his position (>>View Filing). We’re going to add this to our own working watchlist and observe it closely in sessions to come.
Extended Watchlist:
TDCP, AJBI, GTHP, GOVX, IMUC
