Massive Runners from Friday, Fresh Ideas

Friday’s Major Success:

We’re happy to be kicking off this brand new trading week on a high note this morning, after the 5-pack of possible targets we highlighted in our premarket report on Friday produced some serious opportunities for us. It was the second straight session that we had offered up five ideas, and all five worked out, following Thursday’s successful picks, and once again the potential gains were significant.

We had targeted the CSX Weekly $31.50-32 Calls, the PG Weekly $152.50-155 Calls, the SAP Weekly $130 Calls, the ALV Weekly $90 Puts, and the HCA Weekly $280-285 Calls. Every last one of the contracts in those ranges at least made a double on the day, with many of them scoring wins that were a heck of a lot bigger. Here’s the breakdown of those performances:

CSX Weekly $31.50-32 Calls

 .15-.50 (+233%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CVS Options & More

CVS Health Corp CVS

First up this morning, we’re taking a look at CVS, which is currently boasting an interesting chart setup along with a recent analyst upgrade.

The stock recently ran to an area of previous resistance near $84, and is currently down in the premarket along with the markets in general, but we’re going to be looking for a recovery.

As you can see on the annotated chart below, there appears to be an impending Golden Cross, with the 50DMA rising toward the 200DMA, and with the company’s quarterly earnings call slated for February 8th, we’re going to signal some options that could see some nice activity.

We’re going to radar the CVS 02/09 $77-80 Calls which will expire at the end of next week, and could explode with a favorable quarterly report.


Ballard Power Systems, Inc. BLDP – Update

We couldn’t have timed yesterday morning’s call of BLDP any better, outlining the reasons we thought the stock was ripe for a reversal. Among other things, it had strung together ten consecutive sessions of decreases or sideways trading, and yesterday brought the beginning of the rebound that we suspected was due.

From an early low of 3.39, BLDP made a modest, yet convincing move of 19% to a high of 4.04, before closing very near to the high of day at 4.02. It’s a good start, and we’ll want to see the stock continue to record higher highs and higher lows, and show some signs of sustaining its momentum.

Adding to the possibility of a continued uptrend is a PR regarding the company’s Protonex subsidiary this morning outlining a government purchase order of $1.6M for its power management systems for special operations military equipment.(>>View PR)
