Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Ideas

Options Roundup

We are going to close out this trading week, which not-atypically presented us with stock and options plays that went for multibag gains, by formulating another group of options ideas. ULTA reported earnings yesterday post-market, we’ve been tracking NTNX for several sessions, and we’re looking at the SPY as the market is gapping up this morning.

ULTA Weekly $320-327.50 Calls*
NTNX Weekly $37.50-39 Calls*
SPY Weekly $280.50-281.50 Calls*

*As always when we signal weekly options on a Friday we must insist that you NOT attempt any of these trades unless you are an advanced level trader with access to disposable funds! It is an extreme high risk/high reward undertaking!

AVGO, AKAO, DFRG, BIOS, MGTA, MARK, CLNC, EQBK

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ATVI Winners & More

Activision Blizzard. Inc. ATVI – Big Winner

We signaled a range of calls in the Activision chain yesterday morning in our premarket report following the company’s earnings report, which were bullish despite the fact that ATVI’s quarterly figures were a disappointment. We indicated that we would put the ATVI Weekly $42-43.50 Calls on watch, and they were good ideas across the board.

In each of our designated contract sets, we saw not one, but two remarkable intraday swings, that gave traders plenty of chances for single-session profits of a significant nature. We’ve listed all the moves and total possible gains below:

$42 Calls – Move #1: 1.48-3.20 (+116%) | Move #2: 1.32-3.35 (+154%)
$42.50 Calls – Move #1: 1.12-2.75 (+146%) | Move #2: .98-2.85 (+191%)
$43 Calls – Move #1: .89-2.32 (+161%) | Move #2: .70-2.40 (+243%)
$43.50 Calls – Move #1: .70-1.90 (+171%) | Move #2: .44-1.90 (+332%)

Fresh Options Idea:
AstraZeneca plc AZN Weekly $38-39.50 Calls

Pernix Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. PTX

Even as we continue our excellent 2019 track record for options ideas, we don’t want to forget about the stocks on our watchlist that have been performing well.

A fantastic example of that is a stock we tagged as a bottom watch play back on December 20th. Over the past seven weeks, the stock has ramped up quite impressively, leading to a new high yesterday that we wanted to recap today.

From our observed low of .32 on PTX subsequent to our alert, to yesterday’s new high, represents an increase of 588%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MCD Options & More

Baidu, Inc. BIDU – Update

On Friday morning, we had targeted the BIDU Weekly $250-255 Calls in the wake of the company’s quarterly earnings report, and while we didn’t see all the contracts in that range heat up, there was some very nice activity and a chance for a daily profit in the $250 Calls.

Those ran from a low of .46 and impressively hit a high of 2.97 for potential intraday gains of up to 546% which ended up working out to be one of our top plays of the week.

Fresh Options Idea:
McDonalds Corp. MCD Weekly $160-165 Calls

Aqua Metals, Inc. AQMS

We most recently tagged AQMS on April 4th, and after just a slight period of consolidation the stock found support and began a recovery which has covered a good amount ground this month.

From a low of 2.11 AQMS has traded as high as 3.56, a 69% increase in a matter of just a few weeks.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MULE is Kicking & More

MuleSoft, Inc. MULE

We try to include mentions of all sorts of stocks from nano-caps all the way up to the big boards, and there can be no doubt we’ve found success with plays across the entire spectrum. Generally, when we catch a stock for a large gain over a short time period, it trades for pennies a share or less. However MULE is yet another example of a higher priced stock that we recently put on our radar, making a series of big jumps in just over a month.

When we initially tagged this play back on February 16th, it was trading as low as 28.51. After a very bullish month was followed up by another big spike this week, MULE has kicked its way all the way up to 42.40, an impressive increase of 49%

The move was catalyzed by yesterday’s announcement that the company would be acquired in full by Salesforce. Generally you don’t get a sustained push from a buyout, so we wouldn’t be surprised if the stock didn’t go much higher, but we’ll keep an eye peeled just in case.

Aytu BioScience, Inc. AYTU

We’re going to place AYTU on watch this morning as a potential bottom bounce play. The stock produced abnormally high volume yesterday along with a marginal spike in PPS.

As you can see on the chart below, AYTU saw a precipitous decline in February, and has been oversold all month long, yet still maintaining support in the low to mid .40’s. Indicators suggest the possibility of a recovery on the horizon, so we”ll go ahead and monitor the activity here in the days ahead.

Fresh Options Idea:

General Mills Inc. GIS – General Mills has been in trouble on the chart for quite some time, and despite it already being at 3-year lows, the stock is continuing to get crushed on the heels of a disappointing earnings report. Accordingly, we’re going to be tracking the GIS 04/20 $50-45 Puts.

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.
