Barrick Gold Corp. ABX

We want to provide a quick update on a recent tag of ours this morning. Exactly 4 weeks ago to the day, we placed ABX on watch, and the stock has enjoyed a continuous uphill climb ever since, even despite the markets at large having a rough couple of weeks.

Subsequent to our alert on the 24th of last month, we witnessed a low of 10.72, and yesterday the stock reached a PPS of 14.10, marking a solid 32% increase, which is nothing to sneeze at with a $10+ stock in just a month. We’ll continue to track its movements going forward.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SSLJ Recap, Options & More

SSLJ.com Ltd. SSLJ

–

It’s been just under a couple of weeks since we slated SSLJ as a play to watch for a bottom; it was the Tuesday before lastthat we mentioned we’d have an eye on the declining stock that appeared to be ready to reverse at any time.

Friday we saw that come to pass, and the rebound that accompanied it was very impressive indeed. The stock saw a low of .64 before running as high as 1.96, carving out a 206% path and streaking up toward the massive gap that still waits to be filled.

We’re going to continue to monitor this play in the event that it fills the gap, which occupies a range of more than a dollar, and would boost our observed gains by even further.

We targeting some options contracts in the YUMC chain on Friday following the company’s Q2 earnings beat, selecting the YUMC 08/17 $37.50-42.50 Calls
for observation. While we didn’t get multi-bag moves, the gains that were available were still noteworthy.

$37.50 Calls – Range: 1.10-1.70 – Max Gain: 126%
$40 Calls – Range: .55-.80 – Max Gain: 1566%
$42.50 Calls – Range: .23-.35– Max Gain: 407%

After having some success earlier in the week with some higher priced CAT options, we observed a course correction, and yesterday informed readers that we would be rolling our strike prices down to the CAT Weekly $143-145 Calls.

It’s a good thing that we did, too, because we saw some excellent intraday gain opportunities off of those ideas after the session commenced:

Fresh Options Ideas:

Chipotle Mexican Groll Inc. CMG Weekly $380-385 Calls
Facebook, Inc. FB Weekly $165-172.50 Calls

Spectrum Global Solutions, Inc. SGSI

We tagged SGSI along with its news yesterday morning, and the stock performed very well as a result. Those PRs alluded to some exciting things happening for the company, namely being awarded $1.5M in new contracts, along with a massive share reduction.

SGSI traded in a range from .0055-.0094, for a 71% rip. It was enough fuel to start the fire, now we’re going to want to continue to monitor the situation on the chance that further swing trade opportunities present themselves.
