Blue Horseshoe Stocks: JCP Options Recap & More

JC Penney Co. Inc. JCP – Options Update

On Friday morning, we offered up a fresh options trading idea for JCP to track in the wake of an earnings beat for the retailer. The specific targets we selected were the JCP 08/19 $9.50-10.50 Calls and after the excellent intraday move from JCP itself (9.70-10.72) each of those sets of contracts yielded the chance at some big-time single-session gains.

The total possible profits for on the day for each were as follows:

$9.50 Calls – Range:  .44-1.16 – Max Gain: 164%
$10 Calls – Range: .16-.79 – Max Gain: 394%
$10.50 Calls – Range: 1.23-2.61 – Max Gain: 640%

With the expiration on these contracts set for Friday, we’ll have the remainder of the week to continue observing these plays if the activity in JCP stock allows.

El Capitan Precious Metals, Inc. ECPN

We also want to provide an update on the performance of another idea we submitted to our readers last week,. We tagged ECPN for observation in Wednesday morning’s premarket report, and the stock spent the next three sessions trending up.

The low we witnessed on Wednesday came in at .1222 and that eventually gave rise to a new high of .1989 on Friday afternoon, marking a solid three-day swing of 63%  It also managed to close quite near its high-of-day, so we’ll be interested to continue following its progress as we kick off a new trading week.

It’s also worth it to mention that at present, ECPN is receiving a rare 100% ‘Buy’ Rating across the board for short, medium, and long term over at BARCHART.COM.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: WOLV Video Chart, Options & More

Wolverine Technologies Corp. WOLV

We want to place WOLV on watch this morning for a couple of reasons. Apart from coming off of a recent support level and showing some bottom-bounce activity, we also like the involvement of David Chalk, formerly of the TV show, Tech Talk with David Chalk.

David recently signed a purchase agreement with the company, with plans for him to come on board as a tech consultant once the transaction is completed, so someone of his notoriety putting skin in the game on WOLV definitely gets our attention. And, as we said, the stock is also interesting from a technical standpoint.

View the following video presentation of the chart going over what makes WOLV an attractive play at the moment:


Solid Picks From Yesterday

MarilynJean Interactive, Inc. MJMI – Trading Range: .205-.255 – Gain: 24%

Macy’s Inc. M – Options Update

We reminded our readers yesterday of just how adept we’ve become at spotting prime options trading opportunities on the heels of impressive earnings calls, and Macy’s was ultimately a fantastic target for us in that regard.

Fresh Options Ideas:

We also want to keep a close eye on a couple of other earnings-related plays. Both JC Penny’s (JCP) and Nordstrom’s (JWN) have beaten expectations on the Street, so we’re going to have some ideas standing at the ready for each of them:

JCP 08/19 $9.50-10.50 Calls

JWN 08/19 $50-55 Calls

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MINE Recap, M Options & More

Minerco, Inc. MINE

MINE was one of a pair of plays we tagged for observation in yesterday morning’s premarket report that offered up the chance at some nice single-session gains.

The stock traded in a range from its early morning low of .008 and essentially spent the entirety of the session trending up. It led to a high of .012 shortly before the closing above its 50DMA, and it marked a solid intraday pop of 50% The move came on nearly 8 times the monthly average volume as well, so we’ll be on the lookout for further activity from MINE.

A key area of resistance will be the stock’s previous swing high of .014 from late June.

Eline Entertainment Group, Inc. EEGI

The other mover from yesterday’s watchlist was EEGI. This subpenny has a track record of volatility, and it played to our favor quite nicely with a respectable intraday run.

From a low of .0011 it reached as high as .0015, a 36% move on slightly greater-than-average volume. The stock tends to bounce around freely within the .0005-.002 range, so we may look to catch this one on a future dip-and-rip, which the chart history seems to suggest is a strong possibility.

Macy’s Inc. M – Options

Macy’s is fresh off of a big beat on earnings and is gapping up big in the premarket. As always when we run across this type of situation, we want to signal a range of options calls to correspond with the forthcoming activity. The sheer number of times we’ve reaped rewards from earnings-fueled options trades is getting too high to count. We’ve actually done so with Macy’s itself on multiple occasions.

The target range we’re going to zero in on is the M Weekly $36.50-39.50 Calls, for potential daytrades and possibly even swing trades into tomorrow’s session, depending on this afternoon’s activity.
