Blue Horseshoe Stocks: BBBY Options & More

Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. BBBY

The last time we were mentioning Bed Bath & Beyond, was back in January when the stock was trading just below $14. It’s been in a solid uptrend more recently, reaching over 19.50 yesterday. However, we’re getting a bearish feeling from the chart now, especially following the company’s earnings report for the 4th quarter yesterday postmarket.

The company came fairly close to analyst expectations on earnings, yet recorded same-store sales declines for the seventh quarter in a row as e-commerce players like Amazon continue to horn in on brick-and-mortar reliant chains.

We are going to track a bearish options idea into the end of the week for this chain, with the BBBY Weekly $17.50-17 Puts, with the stock already being down a couple of dollars from yesterday’s highs here in the premarket.

Options Review

Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. BBBY – Yesterday morning’s premarket report contained an options idea for Bed Bath & Beyond following the company’s quarterly earnings report, the BBBY Weekly $13 & $13.50 Calls, and those plays both turned in fantastic intraday performances.

Regardless of which strike point was chosen, traders could have secured multi-bag profits on the day. The $13 Calls traded up from a low of .30 to a high of 1.30, for an increase of 333%, while the $13.50’s also crushed it with a huge 431% rip from .16-.85!

Our targets were the the STZ 02/01 $150-157.50 Calls and the 04/18 $160-170 Calls, and all seven sets of contracts in those ranges have been good for significant gain opportunities. These remain in play, and will remain on our watchlist going forward.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Form-4 Bottom Play

La Jolla Pharma Co. LJPC – Form-4 Bottom Play

One of the top scenarios we routinely scan for on a regular basis, is a Form-4 Bottom Play. Whenever we witness a stock trading at or near its annual lows being purchased in large amounts on the open market by its own directors, we can feel fairly certain that their confidence in a potential recovery is high.

LJPC is a fantastic example of this at the present time. We’ve just noticed more than 12M shares being purchased by a director in three separate transactions over the past few days, amounting to roughly $6.8M, or nearly five percent of LJPC’s total market cap. (>>View Transactions)

We’ll now treat this as any other bottom watch play, and monitor the stock for a recovery in coming sessions.

Kandi Technologies, Inc. KNDI

We signaled KNDI in yesterday morning’s extended watchlist, and the stock managed a solid move on the day for our first session of observation on the stock since early in the fall.

KNDI traded in a daily range from a low of 4.60 to 5.63, a modest but solid 22% intraday rise, and a good start on a more significant push. We’ll look for KNDI to test its previous resistance in the mid-$6 area going forward.
