Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Recap & Other Updates

Constellation Brands, Inc. STZ – Options Review

The options trading idea that we formulated yesterday morning for the STZ chain was spot-on, and gave ourselves and our readers chances at some fantastic intraday gains. Our target range, highlighted in our premarket report was the STZ Weekly $150-160 Calls. Regardless of the chosen strike point, any of those contracts yielded prime opportunity for gains on the strength of an earnings beat:

$150 Calls – Trading Range: 5.75-10.20 – Max Gain: 77%
$155 Calls – Trading Range: 1.52-5.65 – Max Gain: 271%
$160 Calls– Trading Range: .89-2.10 – Max Gain: 136%

___________

We’ve got a fresh idea this morning to add to the mix in attempt to extend our success with options calls as well. We are interested in tracking the WYNN Weekly $93-96.50 Calls for some quick-strike chances on a possible dip-and-rip setup.

Vivint Solar, Inc. VSLR

VSLR is one that we’re going to want to place on watch today, for reasons that are apparent when taking a quick look at the chart we’ve annotated below. We’ve got a number of bullish indicators as well as a strong bounce off of its lows over the past couple of days.

We’ll be watching to see if the stock can maintain some of the momentum it’s built up over the preceding two sessions.

Harmonic Energy, Inc. ASUV

Yesterday morning we were just mentioning the fact that we’d successfully tracked ASUV over an incredible five week run, seeing a trading range from .0024-.043, a swing of over 1600%  The stock continued to push its upper limits, setting a new high as it traded from an early low of .03 to .051.

The move marked an intraday pop of 70% and extended our total observed range since our initial alert on the play back on Leap Day  to an earth-shattering 2025%

Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. PSUN

PSUN is a stock that we entered into the log as a possible bottom-bounce play yesterday morning and we observed exactly the type of action we expected. Nimble-fingered traders could have gotten in and out with profits of up to 52% inside of the first 45 minutes of the session as PSUN ran from .091-.138.

We caught the company on the eve of filing bankruptcy(>>Read this morning’s PR), so it may be best to let the dust settle before considering a play on the stock again.

Other more modest gainers from yesterday’s morning report included UWTI (+10%) and MOMO(+15%), so we’ll leave those on our radar in sessions to come.

Extended Watchlist:
ZNNC, CBDS, CLDX, OLLI, VRX, ORIG, SUNE, CEQP

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SDOC Recap & More


SandRidge Energy, Inc. SDOC

Our mention of SDOC in Friday’s premarket report turned out to very well-timed. We’ve had the stock on our radars since early this year, and  pushed it to the back burner for awhile, having so many other items of interest on the table.

We circled back around to it on Friday, just in time to catch a solid single session performance as the stock ran from a low of a nickel up to .0674; that works out to a 35% intraday increase on fairly heavy volume.

We’ll continue to keep an eye on SDOC, which appears to be ready to gap-up slightly today, for a breach of the 50DMA at .08.

Celldex Therapeutics, Inc. CLDX

We’re going to tag CLDX this morning as a bottom-watch play with serious rebound potential. Our bottom-feeder alerts are sounding loudly as we’re seeing the stock take an absolute nosedive on news of the cancellation of the company’s late-stage brain tumor vaccine study.

We’re always on the lookout for knee-jerk selloffs (which often transition into recovery plays), and CLDX has lost roughly half its value solely on the perceived effect of the announcement.

It’s worth it to mention that the company still has seven clinical trials underway on other products, so the discontinued project is by no means the only thing in the company’s pipeline.

We’ll be interested to track the action in CLDX in coming sessions as investors adjust to this morning’s events.

DG, AZFL, GERN & Today’s Extended Watchlist

Dollar General Corp. DG

Yesterday, we pointed to Dollar General as an options trading candidate as we were anticipating their earnings being released today. The report, out this morning, exceeded the expectations of many, and alluded to a total sales increase of almost 11%.

Earnings Per Share increased by roughly 25% as well as the company reported its most favorable Q3 results ever. Folks interested should definitely tune into this morning’s conference call.

Despite having such positive financials, the company issued a cautious guidance along with the report, so we want to be wary moving forward. Another reason to listen in to the call and get the 411 on DG:

The Company will hold a conference call on Tuesday, December 11, 2012, at 9:00 a.m. CT/10:00 a.m. ET, hosted by Rick Dreiling, chairman and chief executive officer, and David Tehle, chief financial officer. If you wish to participate, please call (866) 710-0179 at least 10 minutes before the conference call is scheduled to begin. The pass code for the conference call is “Dollar General.” The call will also be broadcast live online at www.dollargeneral.com under “Investor Information, Conference Calls and Investor Events.” A replay of the conference call will be available through Wednesday, December 26, 2012, and will be accessible online or by calling (334) 323-7226. The pass code for the replay is 56954859.

Amazonas Florestal Ltd AZFL

AZFL hit a new high on Monday, reaching .09, and marking a gain of roughly 100% since we first began talking about this play.

With a very interesting backstory, and a currently well-performing stock, AZFL is one that we will continue to watch on a more long-term basis, well into the New Year.

AZFL is engaged in environmentally-safe and sustainable forestry practices in Brazil. Through cyclical and selective harvesting, the company preserves the integrity of its portion of the amazon rainforest. In addition to purchasing the necessary carbon offset credits, Amazonas also has plans to use the low grade biomass (upper branches and other material unsuitable for timber) to fuel an on-site generator to further negate consumption, as well as for sale of the surplus to local power authorities.

___

Geron Corp. GERN

Following our alert of GERN yesterday, the stock traded in a range from 1.17-1.43, making gains of up to 22% possible. We will be keeping this stock on our radars as the week continues.

___

CirTran Corp. CIRC

Another nice gainer from our extended watchlist yesterday, CIRC saw a daily range of .0019-.0034 for a possible 80% intraday gain.
