Closing Out the Week Strong, Fresh Ideas

Options Reviews:

It’s a challenging time to be navigating the daily ins and outs of the current economic environment, especially with a dearth of big name earnings on the docket, but we have still been managing quite well, all things considered. Two of our three options targets went for some nice gains yesterday, and in addition to those, we have updated on a couple of longer term plays that have come into some really solid moves. 

Yesterday’s winning targets from our premarket report were the ADBE Weekly $372.50-370 Puts, and the KR Weekly $51-49.50 Puts, so we’ll have the intraday figures on those for you below. Both of the other plays from past reports expire today as well, and the moves below represent the overall increases we’ve observed since formulating the ideas. It was our report on Friday the 3rd when we signaled the ASAN 06/17 $22.50 Puts, and Tuesday the 7th when we put the GTLB 06/17 $40-45 Calls on our radar.

Fresh Options Idea: 
Speaking of the market sell-off, it appears as if we may experience a dead-cat bounce today,  and we will will have some SPY ideas ready for that possibility. We’ll track the
SPY Weekly $287-288.50 Calls
to kick things off this week. 


PaperFree Medical Solutions, Inc. PFMSWe also want to provide a brief recap of a solid OTC call we had from earlier last week. We placed PFMS on watch in our premarket report on Tuesday, and the stock has posted quite a move over the ensuing four sessions.

From a low of .0029 on Tuesday, PFMS shot up to a new high of .0071 on Friday, marking an impressive intraweek swing of 145% With that kind of momentum, we’ll be sure to keep its slot on our watchlists reserved as we kick off another trading week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: New Highs for HMNY, MNKD

Helios and Matheson Analytics, Inc. HMNY

It was just yesterday morning that we were remarking on the continuously bullish tendencies of HMNY over the past few weeks since we began tracking it on September 20th.

To that point, we had seen a huge run from a low of 5.47 to 23.49, and then yesterday’s session brought another solid performance, and yet another new high. HMNY traded in a daily range from 22.75 to 28.70. That works out to a an intraday rise of 26% and an updated total on our overall observed move since 10/20 amounting to 425%


MannKind Corp. MNKD

Yesterday we were talking about some options calls we made on Friday for MNKD, the 10/20 $5.50 & $6.00 Calls, which have made some good moves, but we neglected to mention our success on the stock side itself.

A quick view of the MNKD Tag in our newsletter archive at BlueHorseshoeStocks.com shows that we’ve been consistently mentioning the stock over the past several months, and four times already since the beginning of October. Our observed low on the stock alone came in at 1.85, and yesterday’s new high for MNKD represented an overall increase of 276%

Moving back to the options side of things, those $5.50 Calls traded up from .71-1.60 (+129%) intraday, and from Friday’s low of .10, a total of 1500%  The $6.00’s saw a daily range .47-1.30 (+177%), and the overall move we’ve witnessed since Friday comes in at a whopping 2500%

Fresh Options Idea:

Delta Air Lines. Inc. DAL- Not only did Delta post a Q3 earnings beat in the premarket despite taking a hit due to the recent hurricanes, but the chart is also currently headed for a Golden Cross. With that in mind, we’re going to signal the DAL Weekly $52.50-54 Calls.
