Blue Horseshoe Stocks: WBA Recap & Special Alert

 Walgreens Boots-Alliance Inc. WBA

We made our interest in the WBA options chain very clear yesterday morning, stating that “in addition to exceeding expectations with their quarterly report, the stock was already looking ripe for a bottom bounce.”. As it turned out, our shrewd premarket observation made it possible for our readers to bag some truly epic gains on the day in three out of the four highlighted contracts .

Our designated targets were the WBA Weekly $69-70.50 Calls and the moves they made on the day were astonishing, including an absolutely eye-popping 78-bagger, even as the markets as a whole had the worst down-day in months!

$69 Calls – Range: .01-.79 – Max Gain: 7800%
$69.50 Calls – Range: .06-.59  – Max Gain: 883%.
$70 Calls – Range: .05-.35 – Max Gain: 600%

We’ll continue to keep an eye on these ideas as we head into the end of the week.


Twitter, Inc. TWTR

We’ve also got a frsh options idea for TWTR, after noticing a significant gap-up in the stock here in the premarket. The company Q3 earnings showed it is inching very close to profitability, which could happen as soon as next quarter, and traders are responding. TWTR is presently filling a big gap on the chart, and has the look of a play that could produce a significant dip-and-rip once the session commences.

We’re going to be looking at the TWTR Weekly $18-19.50 Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CAT Breakout & More

PetMed Express, Inc. PETS

We signaled a longer-term options idea for PETS yesterday which needs some time to ripen, but with the solid move in the stock itself, we figured we’d recap its performance since our initial alert on it six weeks ago.

We caught PETS at a low of 32.90, which makes its 43% run to 46.94 this week that much more impressive. For a thirty-dollar stock to gain more than a third of its value in a matter of just a few weeks, is no small feat.

We’ll continue to keep our selected options, the PETS 11/17 $40-50 Calls on watch over the next few weeks.


Caterpillar, Inc. CAT

Speaking of high dollar stocks that we’ve alerted and then gone on to see impressive gains, we’ve got CAT in our sights again this morning after a solid earnings beat. We’re going to want to highlight some options ideas here as well, but first, let’s talk about the incredible bullish run of Caterpillar this year.

We were talking about this stock back in March, and that same month, the stock traded for as little as 90.34, and has essentially been in a continual uptrend ever since. Measured to this morning’s new premarket high of 141.98, it represents an increase of 57% in just over six months.

As for the options we’ll want to track on the heels of CAT’s earnings beat this morning, we’ll be looking at the CAT Weekly $136-141 Calls.


Atossa Genetics, Inc. ATOS

We’d also like to quickly recap the respectable intraday performance recorded by ATOS following our alert on the stock yesterday morning.

From an early low of .50, ATOS ran to .636 for a solid 27% move which came on more than three times the monthly average volume.

On a side note, the company has also announced that it will hold a conference call tomorrow morning at 10am EDT to discuss preliminary results from the Phase I study of its proprietary oral Endoxifen, an active metabolite of the FDA-approved breast cancer drug tamoxifen. The conference call will be available through a live webcast at www.atossagenetics.com so we’ll be sure to tune in for that.
