Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Trading Ideas & More

Running Options Trading Idea – PBR

We keep going back to the well that is the PBR options chain, and almost never come up empty-handed. Just to recap this week’s action, we targeted the PBR November $16 Calls on Tuesday morning, and were promptly rewarded with an 35% intraday spike.

On Wednesday, we commented on the real possibility of seeing more action in PBR options as the stock pulled back and rebounded, and it only took until yesterday’s session to see that prediction met.

For the second time this week PBR breached the $17-mark, and as a result, the $16 Weekly Calls traded from .86 to 1.20, an intraday increase totaling 39%


Movers From Yesterday’s Watchlist

First Liberty Power Corp. FLPC
FLPC made a notable move right at the start of the session yesterday morning, opening up at .002 and rapidly running to .0027. That marked a quick chance at up to 35% in gains.

iHookup Social, Inc. HKUP
We also tagged HKUP, and the stock would provide a series of intraday swings of which one could have taken advantage; the two main thrusts were from .006-.0072 (+20%), and .0062 to .0069 (11%).


Added Notes:

The overall markets took a pounding yesterday, and after a contrary performance by TSLA which managed a positive move, the stock is pulling back today to a premarket low of 240.56. As long as support holds at that range, we’ll be expecting to see a bounce. If that proves to be the case, we’ll need to identify a proper options trading target.

Likewise, we’re looking for an upcoming bounce on the SPY which got drudged down along with the market yesterday. We may have an interest in trading SPY Calls, and should be ready for a rebound to come at any time.

SPIR (On Bottom-Watch)
We want to quickly make a note of SPIR as well. The stock fell to new 52-week lows yesterday; we always like to monitor plays like these for potential bottom bounces.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Potential Bottom Play & More

Yesterday’s Top Picks

Wednesday was a pretty good day for a couple plays off of our watchlist; top billing goes to an ETF rather than a stock.

We tagged JNUG (gold miner’s bull index) and were pleased at the scope of the run we witnessed. Over an impressive daily range from 8.43 to 12.35, it offered us the chance at gains in excess of 46%

Meanwhile, UNIS registered a solid 25% intraday move as it spiked from a morning low of 2.78 on up to 3.49. Both plays blew their 3-month average trading volume out of the water for the day.


First Liberty Power Corp. FLPC

We also want to flag FLPC today for a number of different reasons. This subpenny stock is coming off of a recent bottom, and has recorded higher lows and higher highs for the last 4 consecutive sessions. Yesterday it broke above its 50DMA (.002), and we’re going to be looking for support to hold at or above that mark in order for us to remain interested.

A quick view of the chart reveals some of the potential of FLPC:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: GTAT Recap & More

GT Advanced Technologies, Inc. GTAT

The unmatched winner of yesterday’s report definitely has to be GTAT. This gem came off of our extended watchlist, and had a breakout session. The impressive run began at a morning low of .88, and the stock continually pushed the envelope, reaching an afternoon high of 2.00.

The move came to an impressive intraday gain of 127% on 17X the three-month average volume. Cheers to all the folks who were able to carve a slice off of the pie!

The PPS did taper into the close, pulling back to 1.21, but is gapping up this morning, with GTAT thus far having traded as high as the 1.60’s in the premarket.


Recapping Yesterday’s Options Idea

Yesterday morning we raised a flag on the November $16 PBR Calls, and our bait wasn’t in the water long before we got a bite. PBR would briefly crack the $17-mark by early afternoon setting the stage for a solid chance.

Our contracts of interest traded in a range from 2.00 to as high as 2.70, making for a 35% intraday swing. With plenty of time before expiration, we could still see further action on the Nov. $16’s, so they’ll stay on our radar for the time being.
