Friday’s Activity, 3 New Ideas

Friday’s Runners:

Friday was another good day for the targets listed in our premarket report, with four of our five ideas turning in solid performances on the day.

Monday’s Runners, 4 New Potential Plays

Monday’s Options Activity:

We got things off to a good start for the week on Monday, with our premarket report containing three possible options targets, and we weren’t disappointed with the resulting activity. It was a solid way to start off what is likely to be a characteristically laid-back holiday trading season. We don’t expect to see many earnings plays until the second week of January, so we’ll be going off premarket volume and chart set-up plays until then.

Yesterday’s interests were the ABVX 01/16 $130-135 Calls, the TSLA Weekly $485-490 Calls, and the UNF Weekly $220 Weekly, and here were the best intraday runs made by each one:

ABVX 01/16 $130-135 Calls
$130: 20.65-23.05 (+12%)
$135: 16.31-21.20 (+30%)
_____

TSLA Weekly $485-490 Calls
$485: 9.00-15.25 (+69%)
$487.50: 7.80-13.37 (+71%)

Our targets for yesterday’s session were the SMCI Weekly $44-45 Calls, the ZS Weekly $197.50-195 Puts, and the CNM 12/20 $52.50 Calls. Here’s how things shook out for those potential plays:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Ideas

The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. GBX

The first thing that jumped out to us on this morning’s routine market scan was GBX. The only company on the earnings calendar with a market cap of more than a billion dollars, it’s also boasting an attractive bottom setup on the chart.

We’re going to tag the GBX 04/18 $30-35 Calls for observation, which gives us a couple of weeks to see more a rebound from the stock, which just began to rise off of in recent;y established 52-lows.
______

FRESH OPTIONS IDEAS
SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY) Weekly $287-288 Calls
Constellation Brands, Inc. STZ Weekly $187.50 Calls

InspireMD, Inc. NSPR

We also will be placing another recently struggling stock in NSPR on bottom watch this morning. With it just having registered new 52-week lows yesterday, it would appear there may be slightly further to fall before a rebound is imminent, if we look at the indicators, but we’ll start tracking it now.

The stock was trading at twice this amount barely over a month ago, so the potential for rapidly recovery is also there.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TSLA Review & More

Tesla, Inc. TSLA – Recap

Our fresh options idea for the day yesterday morning was a range of puts in the TSLA chain, on the heels of its poorly-received earnings call. What resulted, as the stock began the session under duress, were some very nice opportunities for us before lunchtime.

Our designated range was the TSLA Weekly $285-277.50 Puts and we happily observed the following solid moves:

$285 Calls – Range: 4.95-10.74 – Max Gain: 117%
$282.50 Calls – Range: 3.92-8.90 – Max Gain: 127%
$280 Calls – Range: 2.94-7.21 – Max Gain: 145%
$277.50 Calls – Range: 2.30-5.78 – Max Gain: 151%

Potential Bottom Plays

Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. ESPR – We like the look of the ESPR chart for a potential extended recovery play. As you can see on the chart the stock has been in quite a bit of trouble over the past few sessions, losing roughly half of its previous value in a matter of just a few days.We’re always looking for heavily oversold stocks in line for the chance at a big rebound.

________

Iconix Brand Group, Inc. ICON – We also want to add this one to our watchlist. The stock has been pushed way down amid an SEC investigation concerning ICON and a famous partner of the company, award-winning recording artist Jay-Z, and his Rocawear brand.

As you can see below, in addition to a more steady backslide that dates back much further, the stock has really gone into free fall in recent sessions, resulting in a scenario that could produce a significant rebound, which we’ll want to be looking for.
