Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Recap & More

Seagate Technologies plc. STX – Options Recap

Although it would end up reversing and heading lower as the day progressed, STX did ride the bullish wave off of its healthy earnings beat for a solid upswing inside the first hour of trading yesterday.

That did facilitate a window of opportunity on the options contracts we were tracking, the STX Weekly $41-43.50 Calls. Traders who were quick on the draw yesterday morning could have taken away a piece of the following moves:

$41 Calls – Range: 1.78-5.28 – Max Gain: 196%
$41.50 Calls – Range: 2.00-4.48 – Max Gain: 124%
$42 Calls – Range: 1.99-4.50 – Max Gain: 126%
$42.50 Calls – Range: 2.11-3.45 – Max Gain: 63%
$43 Calls – Range:  .86-3.00 – Max Gain: 249%
$43.50 Calls – Range: .78-2.77 – Max Gain: 255%

We did signal our hunch that there would be a reversal in-session and a corresponding idea for the Weekly $46 Puts in our live traders chat, and those ended up doing quite well also, subsequently running from .60-3.29 (+448%) as STX continued to consolidate into the close.

It’s another example of why we urge any of our readers that want to get in on our daily traders chats to get a Skype contact request over to username ‘stocksumo’. That’s all it takes, and you can stay up to the minute on changing ideas throughout the day, and submit some of your own!


Avinger, Inc. AVGR

The current situation with the AVGR chart has caught our eye this midweek as the stock reversed course this week after a steep and rapid decline. We’re seeing increased activity in the premarket and AVGR has pushed its way up regaining much of the ground it has recently lost.

Currently trading around the 3.00 mark, a return to its recent swing high from roughly a month ago would mean gains of up to 50% so we’ll be monitoring AVGR over coming sessions for a possible continuation of the recovery that is presently in effect.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MINE Recap, M Options & More

Minerco, Inc. MINE

MINE was one of a pair of plays we tagged for observation in yesterday morning’s premarket report that offered up the chance at some nice single-session gains.

The stock traded in a range from its early morning low of .008 and essentially spent the entirety of the session trending up. It led to a high of .012 shortly before the closing above its 50DMA, and it marked a solid intraday pop of 50% The move came on nearly 8 times the monthly average volume as well, so we’ll be on the lookout for further activity from MINE.

A key area of resistance will be the stock’s previous swing high of .014 from late June.


Eline Entertainment Group, Inc. EEGI

The other mover from yesterday’s watchlist was EEGI. This subpenny has a track record of volatility, and it played to our favor quite nicely with a respectable intraday run.

From a low of .0011 it reached as high as .0015, a 36% move on slightly greater-than-average volume. The stock tends to bounce around freely within the .0005-.002 range, so we may look to catch this one on a future dip-and-rip, which the chart history seems to suggest is a strong possibility.


Macy’s Inc. M – Options

Macy’s is fresh off of a big beat on earnings and is gapping up big in the premarket. As always when we run across this type of situation, we want to signal a range of options calls to correspond with the forthcoming activity. The sheer number of times we’ve reaped rewards from earnings-fueled options trades is getting too high to count. We’ve actually done so with Macy’s itself on multiple occasions.

The target range we’re going to zero in on is the M Weekly $36.50-39.50 Calls, for potential daytrades and possibly even swing trades into tomorrow’s session, depending on this afternoon’s activity.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options, Bottom-Plays & More

MarilynJean Interactive, Inc. MJMI

We want to circle back around to a play we tagged for observation last week. MJMI has been making a good deal of progress, showing upward momentum over the past couple of sessions.

Subsequent to our mention of the stock we took note of a .091 low (Friday), and after a couple days on the upswing, MJMI reached a high of .216 yesterday afternoon. It represents a three session-swing amounting to 137%

We’ll want to see the stock maintain support at or above the 50DMA at .16 on any pullbacks in order to remain interested.


Potential Momentum Plays

Each of the following stocks represents the possibility for continued momentum coming into this morning’s sessions. Both closed just a shade under their respective highs-of-day, and will be placed on watch as we cruise through midweek.

CollabRx, Inc. RNVA – We’re no strangers to this stock, which is in the midst of filling a sizable gap on the chart that presently runs from current PPS levels in the mid-to-upper .30’s, on up to around .47.

Yesterday RNVA hit a high of .39 before closing just below at .37. We’re looking for the stock to produce its fourth consecutive session of higher highs and higher lows today.
______

Intermolecular, Inc. IMI – IMI is new to our reports this morning, and qualifies as both a bottom-bouncer as well as a potential momo-play. It also ended up closing with strength, just a hair shy of its daily high yesterday.

It comes less than a week removed from a big PPS dropoff, so we’ll be on the lookout for the stock to continue this rebound and regain some of the ground it has lost over the past week or so.


Tempur Sealy International, Inc. TPX – Options Update

We also want to provide a quick update on the TPX longer-term options idea that we’ve been tracking for over a week now. We were initially interested in the TPX 08/19 $70-80 Calls. The $70’s have since been pushed too deep in the money, but over the past week both the $75’s and $80’s have performed quite well:

$75 Calls – Range: 1.91-4.50 – Max Gain: 135%
$80 Calls – Range: .38-1.35 – Max Gain: 255%

We’ll continue to track these plays leading into their expiration next Friday.
