Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SIRG Review, Options Update & More

TripAdvisor, Inc. TRIP – Options Update

After witnessing intraday gains from 380-650% from the range of TRIP Weekly Calls we tagged for tracking on Wednesday (as well as a 120% pop from the 10/30 $85 Calls we also signaled) , we continued to monitor those contracts yesterday and were met with further opportunities.

$80 Calls – Daily Range: .90-3.50 – Max Gain: 288%
$81 Calls – Daily Range: .55-2.10 – Max Gain: 281%
$82 Calls – Daily Range: .30-1.40 – Max Gain: 366%

The majority of the open interest in the original range of contracts we highlighted (78.50-82.50 Calls) fell in the $80’s and above, and that’s also where we’ll want to see the stock maintain support on any pullbacks. We’ll continue to look for action there as the week draws to a close.

We’ll also continue to keep an eye on the 10/30 $85 Calls over the next couple of weeks leading up to their expiration.

Fresh Options Idea:

Youku Todou, Inc. YOKU Is gapping up considerably in the premarket after Alibaba (BABA) submitted an offer to buy the company’s streaming video service. We’ll be looking for action in the Weekly $23-26 Calls, as well as a longer-term idea of the 10/06 $27 Calls in the event of a sustained breakout.

*Just to float the usual reminder for a Friday session: Volatility rises in options contracts with a weekly expiration which heightens the risk-reward factor considerably, so extreme caution should be exercised.


Sierra Resources Group, Inc. SIRG 

We flagged SIRG in yesterday’s extended watchlist, and the stock had a heck of a session, hurtling out of super-subpenny territory. From an early morning low of .0007, the stock stair-stepped its way to an afternoon high of .0015.

That registered as an intraday gain of 114% and the move occurred on volume which exceeded the monthly average by approximately three times.

Added Note:

Speaking of super-subpenny movers that we’ve been tracking; Manzo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. MNZO appeared on our watchlist last Wednesday and has since produced a healthy swing. We observed a low of .0003 subsequent to our mention of the stock, followed by a high of .001, which is equal to a 233%

Both this and SIRG serve as good examples of why we’d never completely abandon speculation in subpenny stocks. There’s always a chance that the next high-flyer is just around the corner, and as you can see, the possible gains over a short period can be quite substantial.

Continued Options Trading Success

Yesterday, we recapped the huge performances from the options contracts we designated for tracking in Tuesday’s premarket report, which returned the possibility of intraday gains ranging from 87-410%

Those were the GPRO Weekly $31-32.50 Calls, and the FB Weekly $90-91 Calls, and based on what we were seeing in yesterday’s premarket, we also offered our opinion as to how things could play out from that point forward.

To the folks just arriving to the party, so to speak, we suggested “waiting for the dip caused by profit-takers to ride the subsequent rebound.” The action in our observed contracts essentially transpired according to our expectations, and once again, impressive intraday profits were there for the taking.

$31 Calls  – Daily Range: .39-1.12 – Max Gain: 187%
$31.50 Calls  – Daily Range: .29-.85 – Max Gain: 193%
$32 Calls  – Daily Range: .21-.67 – Max Gain: 219%
$32.50 Calls  – Daily Range: .13-.39 – Max Gain: 200%

$90 Calls  – Daily Range: .43-1.18 – Max Gain: 168%
$90.50 Calls  – Daily Range: .34-.91 – Max Gain: 168%
$91 Calls  – Daily Range: .22-.73 – Max Gain: 204%


In addition to the initial ranges listed above, even more added gains were technically possible, as market action allowed for secondary swings in almost every case.

The markets appear strong in early trading once again, so we’ll be approaching today’s session in much the same fashion as we have the preceding two, except today we’ll be looking to modify our strike prices according to present conditions.

New Idea:

We’ll also look at the possibility of taking advantage of SPY Weekly $191.50-193 Calls should today’s activity continue to mimic recent sessions.


Coastal Integrated Services, Inc.  COLV

We included this subpenny stock on our extended watchlist yesterday, and COLV manage to record its third consecutive session of higher highs and higher lows off of its recently registered annual low (.0012).

It ran from .0024 to a daily high of .0037, which represents an intraday gain of 54%. COLV will need to continue to establish higher base levels of support in order to keep our attention going forward.


Global Equity International, Inc. GEQU

Speaking of extended watchlist plays, on Monday we tagged GEQU for tracking, and have been met with the chance for some respectable intraweek gains. The stock logged a low of .021 on Monday, and as of yesterday’s high of .036, we had witnessed a 70% increase.

The GEQU Chart appears quite overbought, but the same has been true in recent weeks and the stock has been on a continual uptrend. We’ll be on the lookout for the possibility of further increases while remaining open to the fact that a consolidation could be in the cards, and in that event, staying ready to take advantage of a possible dip-and-rip scenario.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Huge Options Calls, Bottom-Plays

Huge Options Calls

Our first order of business this morning is to review the performance of the options contracts we signaled for observation in yesterday’s premarket report, We specified our interest in trading GPRO Weekly $31-32.50 Calls, and the FB Weekly $90-91 Calls, and every single set of contracts we tracked provided the opportunity for impressive profits before lunchtime!

$31 Calls  – Daily Range: .19-.97 – Max Gain: 410%
$31.50 Calls  – Daily Range: .25-.75 – Max Gain: 200%
$32 Calls  – Daily Range: .19-.57 – Max Gain: 200%
$32.50 Calls  – Daily Range: .17-.40 – Max Gain: 135%

$90 Calls  – Daily Range: .84-1.57 – Max Gain: 87%
$90.50 Calls  – Daily Range: .70-1.32 – Max Gain: 89%
$91 Calls  – Daily Range: .52-1.10 – Max Gain: 112%

Later in the afternoon, the markets dipped back considerably and continued to backslide into the close. This morning, we’re seeing a substantial gap-up on the heels of jobs numbers, leading us to believe that similar action could transpire during today’s session with regard to an early surge.

In that case, anyone who may have shown up late to the party and held contracts overnight, should be on the lookout for the opportunity to take profits early on. Those who are just arriving, should be waiting for the dip caused by those profit-takers to ride the subsequent rebound.


Vape Holdings, Inc.  VAPE

We’re going to highlight VAPE this morning as a bottom-bouncer that spent the better part of the summer on an overall downtrend, and has just begun to trend up off of the new annual low it established on Monday.

Taking a further look at the chart we get the sense that a more protracted recovery could take place, so we’ll pin this one to our tracking list in the days ahead.

Also on Bottom-Watch
