Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Review & More

Options Updates

Under Armour, Inc. UA – On Thursday, we signaled interest in the UA Weekly $45-48 Calls and as you may recall, on that day we were provided the chance at gains spanning from 42-186% from contracts within the range. We mentioned the following morning that we expected to see further moves out of them. Our assumption proved accurate.

Multi-bag intraday gains were there for the taking, and the trading ranges in some cases exceeded any of the big gains we’d seen on Thursday by a wide margin: 

$45 Calls – Trading Range: .87-2.05 – Max Gain: 136%
$45.50 Calls – Trading Range: .54-1.54 – Max Gain: 185%
$46 Calls– Trading Range:  .20-1.10  – Max Gain: 450%
$46.50 Calls – Trading Range: .10-.57 – Max Gain: 470%
$47 Calls – Trading Range: .02-.20 – Max Gain: 900%

______

Bank of America Corp. BAC  – We were also targeting BAC options last week, namely the BAC 07/15 $15 Calls which we signaled for observation on Wednesday morning. That day we witnessed a low of .51 in those calls, and the performance was quite respectable for the remainder of the week, culminating in a high of .85 on Friday.

We’re going to want to leave this play on our radar, with so much time remaining until their expiration, we may yet see further opportunities arise.


Lithium Corp. LTUM

We also want to make a quick mention of LTUM, which appeared on our watchlist on Friday, and subsequently made a notable move.  The stock traded in a range from .10-.1349, for gains approaching 35%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Recap & Other Updates

Constellation Brands, Inc. STZ – Options Review

The options trading idea that we formulated yesterday morning for the STZ chain was spot-on, and gave ourselves and our readers chances at some fantastic intraday gains. Our target range, highlighted in our premarket report was the STZ Weekly $150-160 Calls. Regardless of the chosen strike point, any of those contracts yielded prime opportunity for gains on the strength of an earnings beat:

$150 Calls – Trading Range: 5.75-10.20 – Max Gain: 77%
$155 Calls – Trading Range: 1.52-5.65 – Max Gain: 271%
$160 Calls– Trading Range: .89-2.10 – Max Gain: 136%

___________

We’ve got a fresh idea this morning to add to the mix in attempt to extend our success with options calls as well. We are interested in tracking the WYNN Weekly $93-96.50 Calls for some quick-strike chances on a possible dip-and-rip setup.


Vivint Solar, Inc. VSLR

VSLR is one that we’re going to want to place on watch today, for reasons that are apparent when taking a quick look at the chart we’ve annotated below. We’ve got a number of bullish indicators as well as a strong bounce off of its lows over the past couple of days.

We’ll be watching to see if the stock can maintain some of the momentum it’s built up over the preceding two sessions.


Harmonic Energy, Inc. ASUV

Yesterday morning we were just mentioning the fact that we’d successfully tracked ASUV over an incredible five week run, seeing a trading range from .0024-.043, a swing of over 1600%  The stock continued to push its upper limits, setting a new high as it traded from an early low of .03 to .051.

The move marked an intraday pop of 70% and extended our total observed range since our initial alert on the play back on Leap Day  to an earth-shattering 2025%


Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. PSUN

PSUN is a stock that we entered into the log as a possible bottom-bounce play yesterday morning and we observed exactly the type of action we expected. Nimble-fingered traders could have gotten in and out with profits of up to 52% inside of the first 45 minutes of the session as PSUN ran from .091-.138.

We caught the company on the eve of filing bankruptcy(>>Read this morning’s PR), so it may be best to let the dust settle before considering a play on the stock again.


Other more modest gainers from yesterday’s morning report included UWTI (+10%) and MOMO(+15%), so we’ll leave those on our radar in sessions to come.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ASUV Recap, Bottom-Plays & More

Harmonic Energy, Inc. ASUV

We tagged ASUV back on Leap Day as a possible bottom-play, and after seeing the stock find support at an ultimate low of .0024 just a couple of sessions subsequent to that, it’s been a series of almost non-stop upturns since then.

One look at the 3-month chart on ASUV shows why we felt the need to circle back around and congratulate ourselves for an amazing bottom-call. As of this week, we’ve now witnessed ASUV run as high as .043. That marks an epic surge of 1692% over a five-week span!


With the chart beginning to look a bit top-heavy, we’ll now transition into monitoring for dip-and-rip type activity. In order for the stock to continue to hold our attention, we’ll want to see it maintain support above its previous resistance at .02 on any pullbacks.


Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. PSUN

Speaking of bottom-watch plays, we’ve got another one to enter into the mix this morning in the form of PSUN. This play has appeared in our reports at various times over the past few years. Presently, as is readily apparent on the following snapshot, the stock has absolutely fallen off of a cliff following a major two-day upswing. It appears to have over-corrected to the low side.

Whenever we run across stocks in this position, our bottom-feeding sense kicks in big-time. The volatility at play over the past few sessions could be used to our advantage on the next leg up, which could be in the cards sooner rather than later, so keep an eye peeled!


On Continued Watch: LNCO & LINE

We placed both of these potential bottom-plays on watch to kick off the week in Monday’s morning report and we want to reinforce our interest this morning. As you can see from the side-by-side comparison, these two trade very closely as they are tied to the same parent entity.


______

Also on our radars with big oil making a reverse yesterday, is VelocityShares 3X Long Crude ETN (UWTI). If oil continues its rebound through today as we suspect it might, there could be some interesting activity in UWTI.



Fresh Options Idea: To dip back into the options trading pool this midweek, we’re going to signal STZ Weekly $150-160 Calls for potential day/swing-trade opportunities.
