Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Form-4 Alert & More

Options Updates

We offered up a couple of fresh options ideas in yesterday morning’s report, GIS Weekly $37.50 Calls, and the MU Weekly $31-32 Calls. Despite the markets taking yet another hit in the wake of the Fed’s interest rate hike, both of those ideas managed to produce some positive intraday movement prior to the announcement.

The GIS $37.50’s traded up from 1.31 to 1.80, for a modest 37% rise, but the MU calls did considerably better, logging multi-bag gain opportunities:

MU Weekly $31-32 Calls
$31 Puts – Range: 1.03-2.47 – Max Gain: 140%
$31.50 Puts – Range: .70-2.21 – Max Gain: 216%
$32 Puts – Range: .46-1.83 – Max Gain: 298%

Axovant Sciences Ltd. AXON – Form-4 Alert

We routinely keep an eye out for brow-raising insider trading activity, and have run across AXON today. A trio of stakeholders filed Form-4’s on Tuesday alluding to the purchase of a total of $30M in AXON stock in three $10M transactions, at the current relative lows near a dollar. That amounts to over a quarter of the company’s total market value.

To us, this would seem a fairly big indicator that these institutional investors are very confident that the stock will not fall below these levels. We’ll go ahead and place AXON on an extended term bottom-watch into the New Year.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: DRI Recap & More

General Mills, Inc. GS

First up today, we are taking a look at General Mills following the company’s solid quarterly figures on earnings and profits released here in the premarket.

The stock itself has gotten badly beaten up recently, as have most stocks in what is shaping up to be a very turbulent finish to 2018. However, the strong numbers reported could be just the catalyst to effect a convincing reversal. We’re going to be waiting in the wings with our eye on the GIS Weekly $37.50 Calls to try to take advantage of the situation.

Darden Restaurants, Inc. DRI

We highlighted some calls in the DRI chain yesterday, the DRI Weekly $95-105 Calls. Of those three sets of contracts, we got some very nice activity from two out of the three. While the $95’s were too far in the money, the $100’s and the $105’s fared quite well.

The $100 Calls traded up from a low of 2.85 and hit an even 5.00 for a gain of 75% and the $105’s surged from .65-1.60, producing a gain opportunity of up to 146%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Updates, Options Ideas

Spectrum Global Solutions, Inc. SGSI

We wanted to circle back around to mention SGSI this morning, and pass along some media from the company that does not appear in its official news feed.

The president of Spectrum Global gave an interview on the company, and we would highly suggest that our readers take the time to check that video out. Additionally, for anyone who may have missed our initial special report on SGSI, it would be a good idea to give that a look as well.

Spectrum had a really solid year of growth in 2018 and we are very excited about the company’s prospects for the coming New Year.

Riot Blockchain, Inc. RIOT

We also want to place RIOT on recovery watch this morning. The stock, along with the price of Bitcoin, has been beaten up for quite some time now, but may be seeing some stabilization, especially with investor confidence in traditional securities being at perhaps the lowest point in the whole of 2018.

RIOT saw the beginnings of a bottom-bounce yesterday, and we’re going to want to monitor it into year’s end for the potential of a more sustained rebound.

Fresh Options Ideas:
DRI Weekly $95-105 Calls
ORCL Weekly $47-48 Calls

JNJ Weekly $130-133 Calls
(In addition to continuing to monitor the 01/25 $135-140 Calls we signaled yesterday)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPY Recap & More

SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY)

We were all over the SPY last week, scoring some big chances for profits early on with some calls, and then flipping to the bearish end of things with some puts on Friday, which also happened to work like a charm. We played the SPY like a fiddle, and the potential returns were considerable.

Our targets were the SPY Weekly $263.50-262 Puts, and each of the four contracts contained within that range provided traders with huge gain opportunities, which were as follows:

$263.50 Puts – Range: .75-3.50 – Max Gain: 367%
$263 Puts – Range: .59-3.10 – Max Gain: 425%
$262.50 Puts – Range: .45-3.07 – Max Gain: 582%
$262 Puts – Range: .34-2.16 – Max Gain: 535%

Johnson & Johnson JNJ

We want to place JNJ on longer-term rebound watch today as the stock took an absolute plastering on Friday with roughly a $15 dip. Three separate insiders filed Form-4’s on Friday indicating share purchases at those lows. That is as good an indicator as any that belief is high in JNJ getting back on track in the near future.

We’re going to put the JNJ 01/25 $135-140 Calls on watch in the days and weeks ahead, as a recovery of some degree does not seem far off for JNJ.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPY Puts

SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY)

With a bearish market pattern continuing to emerge, we have to be ready to roll with the punches as best we can and use whatever momentum we can find, whether it’s upward or downward. Traditionally, the SPY has been our go-to in these kinds of instances.

It was just Tuesday morning that we signaled a range of five SPY Calls, which all produced big-time gain opportunities this midweek, ranging from 184-245% Now, with the markets looking to pull back once again, we’ll hop right to the other side of the fence and zero in on some SPY Puts to close out the week.

The targets that we’re going to be monitoring today are going to be the SPY Weekly $263.50-262 Puts*, which should work out nicely for possible quick-strike daytrades in the event that the premarket trends we’re observing do persist.

*NEVER trade options with a weekly expiration on a Friday unless you are an advanced level trader working with disposable funds.
