Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Winning Options Calls & More

Options Updates

Abercrombie & Fitch Co. ANF

We had very good fortune with most of the ANF options contracts we signaled in yesterday morning’s premarket report following an earnings beat. We were after intraday trade possibilities in the ANF Weekly $29-32 Calls, and with the exception of the $32’s which weren’t pushed into the money, gains of over 200% were available across the board.

$29 Calls – Trading Range: .50-1.51  – Max Gain: 202%
$29.50 Calls – Trading Range: .29-1.10 – Max Gain: 279%
$30 Calls – Trading Range: .19-.75 – Max Gain: 295%

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR

We also want to give a quick update on another extended-term idea we had recently. On Tuesday, we submitted PBR 04/01 $4 Calls for observation, and those have made a run from .13-.25 (+92%) as PBR has traded up from 3.55 to 4.13.

We expect the figures on those gains to keep rising today as PBR has advanced as high as 4.39 thus far in the premarket. We’ll be sure to stay on the trail of those contracts, with nearly a month left on the contracts before expiration. We’ll also keep an eye on the $4 and 4.50 Weekly Calls. Of course, we’ll look to roll our strike prices up if the situation dictates.



Aeterna Zentaris, Inc. AEZS

AEZS is a familiar play that we’d like to touch base with again this morning after noticing some interesting chart activity. The stock broke its 50DMA during yesterday’s trading session and is presently trending up in the premarket, testing resistance in the $4-area. The next area of resistance comes in at 5.18, where a gap on the chart begins, and extends up to the 6.50 level.

We’ve prepared a snapshot below which outlines the highlights of the current AEZS chart.



EffTec International, Inc. EFFI

EFFI is another recent mention we’d like to update our readers on this morning. After signaling EFFI in our watchlist on Friday, the stock has gone on to make a solid move. We observed a low of .0024 followed by a high of .0049, which works out to a 104% swing.

Unique Pizza & Subs Corp UPZS

UPZS was one of a pair of stocks that we added to our watchlist on Friday that continued to perform well yesterday. We’ve had experience with this play making gains for us in the past as well. We observed a low of .008 in UPZS Friday morning, and yesterday the stock reached a high of .0136. That worked out to a three-session swing of 70% and has come on very high volume.

Yesterday’s move brought the stock to within just a few ticks of its 52-week high of .014. We’ll definitely want to keep a lookout for a breach of that price point, which could certainly lead to what we like to call a Blue Sky Breakout.


NetTalk.com, Inc. NTLK

The other notable mention from Friday’s report came in the form of NTLK, which took an extra couple of sessions to settle in and find support. It did so very early on yesterday morning, and followed up with a steady-gaining performance throughout the course of the day, which led from a low .0023 on up to .006, an intraday swing of 161%

We’ll watch for it to consolidate off of that high and keep our eyes peeled for subsequent rebound opportunities.

Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA
–  As we point out on the chart below, we watched as TSLA rejected off of its 50DMA yesterday and went bearish. We’re going to want to stick close and monitor a couple sets of medium-term plays in the event that an extended backslide occurs in coming sessions. We’re looking at four contracts in particular in this case- TSLA 01/11 and 01/18 $180 and $177.50 Puts.
