Seagate Technologies plc. STX – Options Recap

Although it would end up reversing and heading lower as the day progressed, STX did ride the bullish wave off of its healthy earnings beat for a solid upswing inside the first hour of trading yesterday.

That did facilitate a window of opportunity on the options contracts we were tracking, the STX Weekly $41-43.50 Calls. Traders who were quick on the draw yesterday morning could have taken away a piece of the following moves:

$41 Calls – Range: 1.78-5.28 – Max Gain: 196%
$41.50 Calls – Range: 2.00-4.48 – Max Gain: 124%
$42 Calls – Range: 1.99-4.50 – Max Gain: 126%
$42.50 Calls – Range: 2.11-3.45 – Max Gain: 63%
$43 Calls – Range:  .86-3.00 – Max Gain: 249%
$43.50 Calls – Range: .78-2.77 – Max Gain: 255%

We did signal our hunch that there would be a reversal in-session and a corresponding idea for the Weekly $46 Puts in our live traders chat, and those ended up doing quite well also, subsequently running from .60-3.29 (+448%) as STX continued to consolidate into the close.

It’s another example of why we urge any of our readers that want to get in on our daily traders chats to get a Skype contact request over to username ‘stocksumo’. That’s all it takes, and you can stay up to the minute on changing ideas throughout the day, and submit some of your own!

Avinger, Inc. AVGR

The current situation with the AVGR chart has caught our eye this midweek as the stock reversed course this week after a steep and rapid decline. We’re seeing increased activity in the premarket and AVGR has pushed its way up regaining much of the ground it has recently lost.

Currently trading around the 3.00 mark, a return to its recent swing high from roughly a month ago would mean gains of up to 50% so we’ll be monitoring AVGR over coming sessions for a possible continuation of the recovery that is presently in effect.

FRESH OPTIONS IDEAS

Seagate Technologies plc. STX -We’re interested in the situation with STX this morning after the company impressed with its post-market earnings report yesterday. Expectations were exceeded for revenues and earnings-per-share, while a bullish outlook for the remainder of 2017 was provided.

Our first inclination here would be to place the STX Weekly $41-43.50 Calls on watch for the rest of the week in an attempt to ride the wave of enthusiasm for the company’s impressive quarterly figures.

_____

General Electric Co. GE – GE showed signed of a possible reversal yesterday as it began to rebound off of the precipitous decline effected by Friday’s underwhelming earnings report.

The stock perhaps over-corrected with its PPS loss of more than a dollar between Friday and Monday, and we’re interested in potentially hitching a ride with some extended-term options calls.  Provided the stock doesn’t fall further than the $30-mark on any pullbacks, we’ll be tracking the GE 03/03 $30-31.50 Calls.

Heron Therapeutics, Inc. HRTX – Form-4 Alert

We always glance at the chart of a play for which there are insider buys of a significant nature, and that’s just how we’d classify the Form-4 that came in on HRTX late last week.

Director Kevin Tang executed an order for nearly $30M worth of HRTX stock at the stock’s 52-week low of 12.20, per the filing (>>View Here).

We’ll be very interested to see if that indeed was the bottom on this play, which has a relatively recent track record of making volatile swings to more than $20.

Added Note: Puration, Inc. PURA

We also want to provide a quick update as to the progress of PURA, which we initially signaled on Thursday the 12th, subsequently witnessing a low of .03.

Yesterday, despite tapering back slightly into the close, the stock did achieve new highs for us, reaching as much as .094 during the session, a new 52-week high. It extended our observed range on the play in just a few week’s time to an impressive 213%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MYHI Recap & Other Updates

Mountain High Acquisitions Corp. MYHI

Our first order of business this morning is to review the recent activity in MYHI, another cannabis stock amid the huge selection we’re constantly tracking. We’ve been all over this play in the month of January, beginning with the first report of the calendar year, and appearing routinely since then, all while maintaining a general uptrend.

Our witnessed low came in the session immediately following that first premarket report of 2017 back on January 3rd, at .09. Over the course of this month, MYHI has streaked skyward with some very impressive multi-day surges, the latest of which led to a new high yesterday.

We also included MYHI in yesterday’s premarket report, so for those readers who haven’t been with us long enough to have witnessed the full story on this play, single-session gains of a significant magnitude were also available. MYHI ran from a low of .5616 to its new high of .90 on heavy volume, an intraday push of 63%

The high mark represented an overall upswing of 900% from our observed low on the 3rd, exactly three weeks ago, so huge cheers are in order for anyone who has been along for this fantastic ride!

Other Pot Stock Updates

Speaking of the marijuana space, which has definitely been a prime area of focus for us in recent months especially, we had a couple of our other running cannabis interests that were included in yesterday’s premarket report end up performing well on the day.

We had Rocky Mountain High Brands, Inc. RMHB trade up from .13 to .16 for a modest 23% intraday push, reaching overall gains of 74% from the .092 low we observed after including the stock in Friday’s report.

There was also Hemp, Inc. HEMP, which was another one we put in the first report of the year and have been tracking ever since. It spiked 16% intraday yesterday from .0467 to .054, and from our witnessed low of .03, a total rise of 80%

Cellectar Biosciences, Inc. CLRB

CLRB is hitting our scanner in the premarket today, gapping up to the tune of 15% and showing all the symptoms of a solid bottom-bouncer.

There is a gap on the chart between approximately 1.80 and 2.20. We would like to see the stock maintain support above the 50DMA(1.50) and potentially make a run to fill that gap.

VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) – Options Reminder

Just a quick reminder on our options ideas from yesterday’s report; the GDX 02/10 $24-25.50 Calls which we put on extended watch, made some decent progress on the first day, producing gains ranging between 20-40%

We’ll continue to track these ideas for the possibility of further increases for as long as gold itself can maintain its overall uptrend. In this case, that would likely mean holding support above the $1200/oz mark.
