Blue Horseshoe Stocks: WB Options & More

Zillow Group, Inc. Z

We targeted a set of ideas for the Zillow options chain yesterday, namely the Z Weekly $48-49 Calls, as the company was coming off of its Q3 earnings release.

The stock gapped down fairly significantly, however it launched into an immediate rebound that made some solid gains possible in our highlighted contracts. Here are the total possible intraday gains which could have been achieved on the back of those ideas.

$48 Calls – Range: 1.30-2.23 – Max Gain: 75%
$48.50 Calls – Range: 1.10-1.70 – Max Gain: 55%
$49 Calls – Range: .80-1.40 – Max Gain: 75%


Weibo Corp. WB

We’re simply going to stick to our running strategy of hitting up plays that have just seen their respective companies report on earnings. Chinese internet stocks have been flagging of late, and WB is at this point, extremely oversold.

We could envision a longer term scenario in which WB sees a replacement back to  $100-110 range, however we are just going to roll with some quick-strike ideas for now. We’ll be tracking the WB Weekly $86-88 Calls as we head into week’s end.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: DRI Review & More

Darden Restaurants, Inc. DRI

On occasion, we’ll see an opportunity for a longer term move in a stock, and instead of signaling weekly options, we’ll select a later expiration date. This is what occurred with DRI, when we signaled the DRI 07/20 $100-115 Calls back on the 22nd of last month.

After roughly three weeks, DRI has done little else other than continue to climb, and it has provided some really great chances thus far in these contracts that are set to expire this Friday.

Here are the total gains that have been made possible by this idea to date:

$100 Calls – Range: 3.00-12.30 – Max Gain: 310%
$105 Calls – Range: .90-7.30 – Max Gain: 711%
$110 Calls – Range: .30-2.50 – Max Gain: 733%
$115 Calls – Range: .05-.55 – Max Gain: 1000%


Biocept, Inc. BIOC

We also want to track back to our tag of BIOC from Friday. The stock had been showing the beginnings of some bottom bounce activity earlier in the week, and our hunch that further gains were possible turned out to be correct.

BIOC traded in a daily range from 7.06 on up to a high of 12.15, which represented an intraday pop of 72% on Friday.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TJX Review & More


Petroleo Brasiliero SA (Petrobras) PBR

As we kick off a fresh trading week, we’re drawn to a familiar stock from the past in PBR. Our relationship in following and making successful calls with this play stretches back for years,

Recently, the stock had been falling on the heels of a solid run last month, and that decline was kicked into a higher gear last week as the company’s CEO resigned amid questions about the Brazilian economy. The turmoil has brought PBR to its lowest levels and most oversold point since December, as you can see on the chart below.

You can also see that those conditions led to a month-long run of considerable proportions, so we’re going to want to signal some longer-term options in case the pattern were to repeat itself. We’ll place the PBR 06/29 $11-12 Calls on watch in the days and weeks ahead.



The TJX Companies, Inc. TJX – Recap

We presented some longer term options ideas in our report from May 22nd as well, and wanted to update our readers on the fantastic gains that have been made possible by the stock’s continuous bull run since that time.

Our targets were the TJX 06/15 $85-90 Calls, and the excellent moves made by those contracts are as follows:

$85 Calls – Range: 2.14-6.30 – Max Gain: 194%
$87.50 Calls – Range: .90-3.80 – Max Gain: 322%
