Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SBUX Success & More

Starbucks Corp. SBUX – Recap

We formulated some options ideas for Friday morning’s premarket report, and among them were the SBUX Weekly $66-67.50 Calls. Continuing a trend that we carried throughout the week, we once again struck upon multi-bag gains off of an earnings related play. This type of trade has become one of our go-to moves for this very good reason. We urge any skeptics to rifle through our blog and check our record on this. We believe our success rate is unparalleled.

$66 Calls – Range:.65-1.65 – Max Gain: 154%
$66.50 Calls – Range: .40-1.35 – Max Gain: 238%
$67 Calls – Range: .22-.80 – Max Gain: 264%
$67.50 Calls – Range: .10-.49 – Max Gain: 390%

We also had the WDC Weekly $43.50-45 Calls in Friday’s report, and despite the fact that only the $43.50’s ended up being in play, the potential gains they afforded traders were exceptional. They traded up from a low of .03 all the way up to .26- a move of 767% on the day.


Caterpillar, Inc. CAT

We’ll once again look to a premarket earnings release to provide us with the impetus for a fresh idea this morning. Caterpillar missed on profits and issued unimpressive guidance, as the company reported disappointingly low demand, specifically in the Chinese market.

We are going to take a bearish view on this for the near-term, and put the CAT Weekly $132-128 Puts on watch to kick off the fresh trading week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: New Options Idea & More

Acacia Research Corp. ACTG

Pretty much the entirety of 2017 has been some tough sledding for ACTG, which was in an overall downtrend since last winter when it was trading at more than twice its current value.

That all seemed to change around midway through last month, as the stock has managed to establish a good rebound effort for several sessions. In the premarket the stock has broken previous resistance which coincided with the 50DMA (3.63) and could make a move to fill that gao we’ve pointed out on the chart below.

We’ll put the stock on watch in the days and weeks ahead as we kick off this holiday-shortened trading week.


Insmed, Inc. INSM

After posting key data reflecting positive top-line results in its Phase III lung disease treatment study, INSM has exploded into the blue sky this morning. The stock has rapidly gained more than twice its value in premarket trading, and whenever we come across a situation like this, we begin to look for the options contracts that could give us the best opportunity for rapid gains.

We think that the INSM 09/15 $27-30 Calls could stand to see some nice activity if the stock continues the blue-sky breakout we’ve witnessed so far.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SRMX Explodes & More

SkyFidelity Inc. SRMX – Recap
Although the dog days of summer made July a fairly subdued month, August has started off pretty well so far, with our first multi-bag gainer showing up in the form of SRMX. We included it in our premarket report yesterday morning after catching the PR the company released on a routine news scan, and were happy that we did.

SRMX, after releasing news of a potentially disruptive new product, went absolutely haywire, trading in an incredible range from .0043 all the way up to .024. That worked out to a fantastic single-session pop of 458%

SkyFidelity, Inc.’s (OTC: SRMX) subsidiary Tri Cascade, Inc., an Internet of Things (IoT) technology company, has created a 4G/LTE Gateway Hub that provides consumers with the ability to access the internet directly from a SIM-based 4G/LTE Super Router called the SkiQ. The Company has designed this innovative communication device that will disrupt the traditional communications hardware industry, making routers, modems, satellite dishes, set-top boxes and media boxes obsolete.

Lumber Liquidators Holdings Inc. LL

The options idea we submitted on LL earlier this week has made some decent progress that we wanted to report back to our readers this morning.

The stock has strung together two bullish sessions since then which has facilitated the following moves in our highlighted target contracts, the LL Weekly $27.50-29.50 Calls. The listed lows were logged on Tuesday, and highs recorded yesterday.

$27.50 Calls – Range: 3.00-8.54 – Max Gain: 185%
$28 Calls – Range: 2.30-7.79 – Max Gain: 239%
$28.50 Calls – Range: 3.36-7.32 – Max Gain: 118%
$29 Calls – Range: 2.00-6.75 – Max Gain: 237%



Strategic Global Investments, Inc. STBV

We also put STBV on our radar yesterday morning and it too produced a positive move on the day. From its low of .0731 the stock ran as high as .145, an intraday rip of  98% which came on more than nine times the monthly average volume.

We’ll continue to keep an eye on STBV which is at multi-year highs and firmly in blue sky breakout territory.



Medical Transcription Billing Corp. MTBC
We also want to circle back to MTBC, which we’ve been tracking since the morning of July 17th. Shortly thereafter the stock saw a low of 1.08 and it hasn’t looked back.Yesterday it reached a new high of 2.39, which marks a 121% run through a period of just over two weeks. We’ll continue to stay on its track, as the company just posted a solid quarterly report which included a 55% boost in revenue.
