Blue Horseshoe Stocks: BABA, ABIL Recaps & More

Options Recap

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. BABA– There was quite a to-do yesterday morning after BABA went rocketing up in the premarket on raised revenue guidance, and we jumped at the chance to signal some options ideas to correspond with the activity.

In our premarket report we highlighted the BABA Weekly $140-145 Calls  with the explicit warning that “Whenever a stock has gapped up this hard, we must be on the lookout for an early pullback into a dip-and-rip pattern” and we really couldn’t have been more spot-on with how we approached this play if we had a working crystal ball.

We don’t have that, but we do have loads of experience identifying winning options plays, and not only did the stock behave exactly as we said it would, selling off before exploding to new highs, but every single contract we highlighted went bananas as a result.  Regardless of which of our four highlighted contracts was chosen as the strike price, gains ranging from the 1100% to the 3100% range. Not bad for a day’s work!

$140 Calls – Range: .34-4.40 – Max Gain: 1167%
$141 Calls – Range: .25-3.65 – Max Gain: 1360%
$142 Calls – Range: .16-2.87 – Max Gain: 1694%
$143 Calls – Range: .12-2.41 – Max Gain: 1908%
$145 Calls – Range: .05-1.63 – Max Gain: 3160%

We’re going to look for similar chart activity today to lead to further gains in these plays, but as we always do when discussing weekly options on a Friday, we feel obligated to warn our readers that trading such contracts is for EXPERT traders only!

Yahoo! YHOO – We were also looking at some YHOO contracts yesterday, although they didn’t have much open interest with the exception of the Weekly $55 Calls. Those ran from .10 to 1.01 for a 910% rip on the day.


Ability, Inc. ABIL

On Wednesday morning we flagged ABIL as a possible bottom-play and the subsequent activity over the ensuing two sessions has been excellent.

The first day it ran from .6298-.91, for a solid 44% rise, and yesterday, it one-upped its performancde with an intraday run from .80 to a new high of 1.69. It was good for a daily pop of 111% and a total two-session upswing over our observed low amounting to 168%


Delcath Systems, Inc. DCTH

We also want to mention DCTH this morning, a stock that had been in a continual downtrend for months on end. It just began to show life yesterday and is gapping up in premarket trading this morning, so we’ll just want to keep an eye peeled.

As we said, this stock has been ridiculously oversold for a long while, so the resulting snapback could turn out to be pretty impressive. .

Options Ideas

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. BABA- After raising revenue guidance by nearly 50%, there has been a mad scramble for shares of BABA in the premarket this morning with the stock shooting up over $15. Whenever we see a feeding frenzy like this, we like to set up camp with some options ideas in an attempt to take advantage of the bullish commotion.

In this case, we’re going to signal the BABA Weekly $140-145 Calls which should do pretty well if the current trajectory is any indicator. Whenever a stock has gapped up this hard, we must be on the lookout for an early pullback into a dip-and-rip pattern, which can happen in these sorts of situations.
____

Yahoo! YHOO – Also gapping up in the premarket considerably is YHOO, and we’re going to keep an eye on a range of contracts here as well. We’ll have the YHOO Weekly $53-56 Calls on watch today.


Bottom-Watchlist Updates

Dragonwave, Inc. DRWI –  We had DRWI on yesterday’s bottom-bouncer watchlist and it’s looking like a really solid play so far. DRWI traded in an intraday range from .94 to 1.24 for a solid 32% move on 9X the 30-day average volume. Not too bad for our first day of observation. We’ll continue to watch DRWI for a continuation of this rebound pattern.
____

Ability, Inc. ABIL– We caught ABIL gapping up slightly off of its own bottom yesterday and it made a very nice move for us. The stock traded in a range from .6298-.91, for a solid 44% pop on 20X the monthly average volume.



Side Note – Caravana Co. CVNA
– We’ll also want to keep a continued eye on CVNA, which we tagged in yesterday’s extended watchlist. It traded up from 10.50-12.83 on the day, and hit 13.03 in the premarket this morning. That’s an increase of 24% and it came on more than four times the three-month average volume.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Bottom-Watchlist & More

Coin Citadel CCTL

Among the plays we signaled in a bitcoin-related watchlist we formulated at the end of May while bitcoin prices were going haywire, was CCTL. We’ve actually been tracking this play for a lot longer than that if you refer to the CCTL Tag on our blog.

As recently as May 23rd, this stock was trading at the bottom of the barrel with a .0001 share price, and it has made just the kind of moves that one might expect from a super-subpenny play that suddenly finds itself in the middle of one of the trendiest market spaces.

Yesterday, we observed CCTL trading as high as .0008, which of course marks a rise of 700% over our witnessed lows in the space of ten trading days. We’re going to want to keep an eye on the stock, and be on the lookout for a key break into the double-zero range.


Bottom-Watchlist

We’re always searching for a good bottom play, and we’ve got a few to add to our watchlists this morning.

Dragonwave, Inc. DRWI – Up considerably in the premarket and moving to fill a previous gap on the chart this morning is DRWI. The company recently closed a hefty round of funding, which may explain the circumstances which led to it recording a new 52-week low yesterday. The company did, however, announce it has been awarded a big product supply and installation services contract from SmartSky Networks, a North American 4G LTE in-flight service provider. (>>View PR)

Ability, Inc. ABIL
– Also gapping up to a lesser degree in the premarket is ABIL. We’ll want to keep a good eye on this one, as it recently registered a new annual low. If the activity boost we’re seeing this morning develops into a more sustained trend, we could be catching the stock just in time for a recovery.
____

Sugarmade, Inc. SGMD – Sugarmade is coming off of a bottom on the chart as well, trending up moderately for the month of June so far. This morning the company announced it had received purchase orders for hydroponic growing equipment that could yield as much as $3M this year. (>>View PR)
