Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Winning LVS Options & More

Las Vegas Sands Corp. LVS – Options Recap

To correspond with the surprise news that Macau gambling revs broke a two year pattern of disappointment, we prepared ourselves with a few options ideas yesterday, and while they all provided opportunities to an extent, the one that shone through as the clear winner was Las Vegas Sands.

We zeroed in on the LVS Weekly $51-52.50 Calls for potential daytrading chances, and regardless of the chosen strike price, multi-bag intraday gains were there for the taking. The possible profits were as follows:

$51 Calls – Range: 1.18-2.83 – Max Gain: 140%
$51.50 Calls – Range: .85-3.36 – Max Gain: 295%
$52 Calls – Range: .40-1.82 – Max Gain: 355%
$52.50 Calls – Range: .30-1.62 – Max Gain: 440%



Kibush Capital Corp. DLCR

After alerting DLCR in Wednesday morning’s premarket report, the stock has gone on a heck of a two-day run for us. Yesterday we mentioned that we’d keep an eye out for a continuation of the uptrend, and got just what we were looking for as the stock streaked to new highs for us.

It traded in a range from .0036-.0071, falling just shy of a double-bagger with a 97% intraday push, and from the low we observed on Wednesday morning subsequent to our initial report (.00297), it represented a two-session overall increase of 139%


Ocean Rig UDW Inc. ORIG

We’ve also got a potential bottom-play hitting our scanner this morning in ORIG, so we wanted to make mention of that as well.

All it takes is a quick glance at the chart to see why we’ll be interested in tracking the activity in this stock in sessions to come. We’ve got a strong double-bottom signal, a bullish MACD cross in progress, and the RSI is indicating that ORIG is presently oversold.

These are all factors we routinely search for, and when coupled with a sizable gap on the chart to the upside, and the fact that it was trading at three times its current price less than a month ago, we’ll certainly want to watch this one closely.

Monday’s Watchlist: Options Ideas, Momentum Plays

Options Trading: Lululemon Athletica, Inc. LULU Calls

Last Monday, we mentioned an Options Trading idea, as we were looking at the LULU $65 Calls. We believed that LULU stock could head up past $67 and push toward the $68-level. On Wednesday, the $65 Calls were trading below .30. By Friday, we got the move that we were looking for out of the stock (hit high of 67.90), pushing those Calls as high as 2.80 as shown on the intraweek chart below.

This play was was a good example of why we like to monitor options contracts as they approach expiration, as they can exhibit some of their most volatile activity during that period. Even those who didn’t catch on until Friday could have walked away with up to 100% in intraday gains.


Celsion Corp. CLSN
&
OXiGENE, Inc. OXGN

Each of these stocks, after appearing in Friday morning’s extended watchlist would go on to perform well for the session:

CLSN traded from a low of 1.35, and spiked 15% to 1.55.

OXGN saw a daily range from a low of 3.31, and touching a high of 3.81 for a possible gain of 16%


TechnoConcepts, Inc. TCPS
&
TheDirectory.com, Inc. SEEK

Both of these stocks qualified as momentum plays last week, thus will be on our list of stocks to monitor as we begin the new trading week:

On Friday, TCPS traded in a big range from .008-.04 on roughly 4X its 3mo. average volume.

SEEK went on a run last week as well, and on Friday traded massive volume, to the tune of more than 10X the 3mo. average.


Options Trading Side Note:
Following tomorrow’s market close Apple earnings will be released, so we are eager to see how AAPL stock reacts to those figures. If they will fail to impress, we should see a dip followed by a bounce- should they exceed the Street’s expectations, we will likely be looking at a gap-up and run on Wednesday morning. Either way it shakes out, we will be looking to take advantage with properly timed Calls placed in the money.
