Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Reviewing PBR, HMLA, SPY & More


Petroleo Brasiliero SA (Petrobras) PBR – Options

Revisiting PBR this week as the stock has been trending up off of its lowest PPS in the last dozen years, continued to be a good decision yesterday.

For those that may have missed the reports, our primary targets were the PBR Weekly $5.00 and $5.50 Calls, with the $6 Calls as a conditional target in the event that PBR rebounded high enough. The action in the stock certainly provided us with the chance at solid gains across the board in the previous session, with the $5’s, $5.50’s, and $6’s logging intraday gains of 42%, 80%, and 175%, respectively.

That pattern of potential repeated itself and grew exponentially yesterday. The opportunities were as follows:

$5 Calls  – Daily Range: .38-.66  – Max Gain: 74%
$5.50 Calls  – Daily Range: .06-.28 – Max Gain: 366%
$6 Calls  – Daily Range: .02-.05 – Max Gain: 150%

Moving forward, we’ll look for dip-and-rip off of this morning’s premarket high of 5.98, and for us to remain interested in these contracts, we’ll need to see support hold at or above 5.50 on that dip.


Homeland Resources, Ltd. HMLA

We were tracking HMLA through our extended watchlist yesterday, and observed a solid intraday run from the stock.

From an early low of .00189, the stock ran into the close as reached a new high of .003. That goes on the books as an intraday swing of 59% so cheers to anyone who pared some profits out of that move.


Fresh SPY Options Ideas

We had a tremendous amount of success with the SPY last week, observing astronomical moves in our targeted contracts. We even had an exceedingly rare, single-session mover of over 20,000%! We would be thrilled if today’s ideas yielded the chance at even a small fraction of those mammoth gains!

Based on yesterday’s activity on SPY chart, current market conditions, and time-decay evaporating premiums on weekly contracts, we’re going to look for quick-strike opportunities in the SPY Weekly $199.50-203 Calls.

Don’t forget: Trading options with a weekly expiration on a Friday inherently carries an elevated risk/reward dynamic.
