Good Start to the Week, 3 New Ideas

Recapping Monday’s Runners:

We opened up this short trading week yesterday in solid fashion, offering up a slate of four potential options trading ideas in our premarket report for the day. It continues the momentum we had built up going into this past weekend, and sets us on a course for an excellent four-day week of possibilities. We’ve been just a little light on big name earnings reporters to base our daily ideas from, but we’re still managing quite well.

Yesterday’s list of targets was comprised of the CAR 04/05 $118-120 Calls, the COIN Weekly $260-265 Calls, the DELL 04/05 $114-116 Calls, and the INTC Weekly $41.50-40.50 Puts. As you can see below, they afforded us some pretty good opportunities on the day.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ATVI Winners & More

Activision Blizzard. Inc. ATVI – Big Winner

We signaled a range of calls in the Activision chain yesterday morning in our premarket report following the company’s earnings report, which were bullish despite the fact that ATVI’s quarterly figures were a disappointment. We indicated that we would put the ATVI Weekly $42-43.50 Calls on watch, and they were good ideas across the board.

In each of our designated contract sets, we saw not one, but two remarkable intraday swings, that gave traders plenty of chances for single-session profits of a significant nature. We’ve listed all the moves and total possible gains below:

$42 Calls – Move #1: 1.48-3.20 (+116%)  | Move #2: 1.32-3.35 (+154%)
$42.50 Calls – Move #1: 1.12-2.75 (+146%) | Move #2: .98-2.85 (+191%)
$43 Calls – Move #1: .89-2.32 (+161%) | Move #2: .70-2.40 (+243%)
$43.50 Calls – Move #1: .70-1.90 (+171%) | Move #2: .44-1.90 (+332%)

Fresh Options Idea:

AstraZeneca plc AZN Weekly $38-39.50 Calls


Pernix Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. PTX

Even as we continue our excellent 2019 track record for options ideas, we don’t want to forget about the stocks on our watchlist that have been performing well.

A fantastic example of that is a stock we tagged as a bottom watch play back on December 20th. Over the past seven weeks, the stock has ramped up quite impressively, leading to a new high yesterday that we wanted to recap today.

From our observed low of .32 on PTX subsequent to our alert, to yesterday’s new high, represents an increase of 588%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Ideas & More

Caterpillar, Inc. CAT – Update

After a huge earnings beat yesterday morning, we mentioned that we’d be monitoring the CAT Weekly $157.50-162.50 Calls to take advantage of the big boost in activity.

We did end up seeing some very nice moves from those contracts early on, before the market took a dive and took Caterpillar with it. The gains that were on the table in the morning prior to that dip were as follows:

$157.50’s : 2.30-4.50 (95%)
$160’s: 1.26-2.84 (+125%)
$162.50’s: .52-1.60  (+107%)

After the stock’s course correction, we’re going to dip back into the pool and slate the Weekly $143-145 Calls for observation as we head through this midweek.

Fresh Options Idea:

Chicago Bridge & Iron Co. CBI – We like the current setup of the CBI chart so we’re going to be tracking some options ideas there as well, with the CBI 05/18 $15-16 Calls.


Marathon Patent Group, Inc. MARA

We want to circle back around for an update on MARA this morning, after what has been a fruitful month for the stock. We last signaled this play on March 28th, and shortly thereafter witnessed a low of .92.

In the three weeks that followed we have seen some very nice, steady increases from MARA, with its new highs being registered at 1.94 yesterday. That marks an intra-month run of 111%
