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!

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.
