While we can definitely say that flawless days when we hit on all of our ideas are frequent occurrences for us, we certainly don’t take it for granted, and it still makes us feel really good every time.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Stock Updates & More

DURRECT Corp. DRRX

We began tracking DRRX last month, with our initial alert coming on the morning of 08/07. Subsequent to that report, the stock recorded a low of 1.22, and yesterday, reached a new high of 2.46.

That works out to a clean double-bag move of 102% in a matter of six weeks. The stock has been on the rise for two months now, so we’ll be interested to see where it will ultimately find itself.

Avadel Pharma Inc. AVDL

We freshly tagged AVDL in yesterday morning’s premarket report, and while it didn’t make our heads spin, the stock did produce a solid intraday gain on our first day of tracking it.

From a low of 4.13, the stock reached a high of 5.37 on the day, which registers as a 30% upswing. We’ll continue to keep it on our watchlist as we head into midweek.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ALDX Review & More

Aldeyra Therapeutics, Inc. ALDX

The big standout from yesterday morning’s premarket report turned out to be ALDX, which initially drew our attention with an abnormal volume signal, and the release of positive Phase 2a study data for a Dry Eye Disease treatment.

The stock recorded a continuously bullish pattern throughout the day, trading in an impressive range. From it’s early morning low of 6.60, the stock reached a high of 11.05 just prior to the closing bell. That’s an increase 67% on the day, on more than twenty times the monthly average volume. It also easily took the top gainer spot on the NASDAQ board for the session.

ALDX increasing in value by two-thirds in a single session worked well for us yesterday, but such moves also rare and often unsustainable events. It’s difficult to imagine a scenario where the stock doesn’t undergo a consolidation in the session or sessions to come.

Macy’s, Inc. M – Options Review

We want to swing back around for a recap of the performance in a set of Macy’s calls we made a few weeks ago as a longer-term options idea. Typically, when a stock seems set for an extended rebound, we’ll signal contracts whose expiration doesn’t occur for a longer period of time. In this case we highlighted the

It worked out nicely, with M stock making a steady increase over these last few weeks that facilitated a move in those calls from .60-1.37, which comes out to a respectable gain of 128%

Fresh Idea:

We also look for quick strike chances as well, and may have one with Mirati Therapeutics, Inc. MRTX today after the stock soared following the presentation of positive cancer trial data at a conference in Chicago.

We’ll be looking for a dip-and-rip pattern off of this morning’s significant premarket gap-up, and will be tracking the MRTX Weekly $7.50 Calls* and possibly even the $10’s if it appears as if MRTX wants to break that ten dollar barrier.

*Never attempt to trade weekly options on a Friday unless you are A.) An expert trader and B.) Have money you can afford to lose. It’s an extremely risky proposition.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AMRS, TTOO Recaps & More

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. CBRL

We were looking at a favorable setup on the CBRL chart along with a premarket earning beat in yesterday morning’s report, and we floated a couple of options ideas that worked out pretty well early on in the session.

We had the CBRL Weekly $150 & 151.50 Calls as well as the 10/20 $155 Calls on watch, and both our short -term and longer-term ideas provided excellent chances for multi-bag gains on the day.

The Weekly $150’s traded in a range from 1.01-4.00 (+296%), while the
$151.50’s ran from 1.10-2.79, gaining 154% intraday. Even the longer-term idea, the 10/20 $155’s more than doubled on the day, running 175% from 1.09-3.00.

Amyris, Inc. AMRS

We wanted to circle back for AMRS today to recap the past month of its performance on the chart. We put this play on bottom-watch on the morning of August 15th, and as it turns out, our timing was pretty good. It was just a couple of sessions later when we observed a low of 1.86 in the stock, and it’s been mostly bullish moves since then.

Yesterday, AMRS hit a new high of 3.84, marking an overall increase of 106% in matter of just one month’s time. If the stock can manage to break its previous resistance around the 4.30 area, things could get really interesting.

Added Note:

T2 Biosystems, Inc. TTOO – In that same report from August 15th we were discussing the run we had seen from TTOO from 2.53 to its highs at the time just over $4. It too hit an impressive new high yesterday, at 6.99. That works out to a one month increase of 176%
