Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TSLA Options Recap & More

Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA – Options

Despite another choppy day for the markets as a whole, we were able to find a diamond in the rough with our TSLA Options Idea in Thursday’s premarket report.

As the stock was gapping up, we identified the possibility of some dip-and-rip scenarios occurring in weekly TSLA $275-280 Calls and that’s precisely what we got. There was some extremely impressive action with the $275’s and $277.50’s in particular, that could’ve provided traders with exponential gains.

The $275 Calls jumped out of the starting gate and went on an initial run from 5.00 to 7.60 (+52%) in the first couple minutes of the session. The dip-and-rip we were after provided an even bigger opportunity as the contracts reached a midday low of .78 before rebounding, and absolutely exploded back to a 5.10 close. That marked a second intraday rip of 554%

The $277.50’s traded in a similar pattern; the initial move was from 3.20 to 5.40 (+69%), and their dip took them to a low of .21 before re-launching as high as 3.00 into the close. That was a mind-boggling 1329% rip.


NuGene International, Inc. NUGN

NUGN has been an ongoing point of interest for us over the past few weeks; we alerted the stock in the third week of June, and at that time, observed a 2.67 swing-low. Since then, the chart has been on a steady incline, surging as much as 47% as it hit a high of 3.88 on both Wednesday and Thursday.

We’ll be looking for the possibility of the stock cracking through that resistance to continue its uptrend into this week.

There’s a fresh PR coming off of the wire this morning as well:

(“NuGene”) (NUGN), a developer, manufacturer and marketer of advanced skin and hair care lines utilizing adipose derived human stem cells and stem cell media, conducted one-on-one meetings with top beauty editors in New York City including Allure, Vogue, Glamour, Marie Claire, Self, Shape, More, Town and Country, People, People Style Watch, Cosmopolitan, Better Homes and Gardens and W. >> View PR

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Another Big Move From PZOO & More

Pazoo, Inc. PZOO

We’ve been more than pleased with the performance of PZOO this month after coming back to follow it closely on the 1st. We’ve tracked it every step of the way as it has made its way from a subpenny low of .0049 (04/06) and streaked to impressive new highs following our morning report on Friday.

PZOO started from a daily low of .0123 and broke the key level of resistance at .014 (we pointed out in a video we published Friday afternoon) before running to close at its high of day at .016. It represented an intraday move of 30% and an overall increase of 227% over our observed low earlier this month.

We’ve drawn up another video demonstrating some of the PZOO chart highlights, and we’ve linked that below. In addition, Pazoo released another key PR this morning, and we’ve provided a link to that as well. We’d suggest our readers explore both links!

 

WHIPPANY, N.J., April 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pazoo, Inc. (OTC Pinks:PZOO) (German WKN#:A1J3DK), is pleased to announce that as of today and more than a week ahead of schedule, the company has completely repaid the total of its obligations on its Convertible Promissory Note to Eastmore Capital LLC. >> FULL PR


Options Trading

Apple Inc. AAPL & Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN were the subject of our options-trading ideas on Friday. In both cases we mentioned an interest in looking for dip-and-rip scenarios, and both stocks did indeed follow suit. Our ideas for trading Weekly Calls in each would have paid off handsomely for anyone who took the initiative.

AAPL reports earnings today, and is gapping up significantly in premarket trading so we’re going to be on the lookout for opportunities in the Weekly $130-132 Range as we kick off a fresh trading week.


Molycorp, Inc. MCP

Some of our regular followers will recall our entering MCP into our reports on April 8th, and regularly revisiting it since then. Following our initial alert on this play we observed a low of .48, and the stock continues to press to new highs.

On Friday, MCP hit a new high of 1.04, which marks an impressive 117% swing from this stock inside of the past two weeks.


Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ENZN

We flagged ENZN for tracking on Thursday, after noting that it is another stock in which billionaire investor Carl Icahn has a stake. The stock made notable 16% intraday move on Friday, and we want to keep it on continual watch moving forward.

We covered VLTC recently as it made a truly historic move as a result of Icahn’s involvement, and are anxious to monitor any stock that draws the interest of such a high-profile investor.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Earnings-Related Options Ideas & More

Earnings-Related Options Ideas

We’ve entered into another round of high-profile earnings releases, and as our routine readers are well aware, this has become a key device in our seeking of quick-strike profits with options trading.

Ebay, Inc. EBAY
On EBAY, we’re going to size up contracts in the $58.50-60 Call range, looking for a classic dip-and-rip scenario. Usually on a gap-up after an earnings beat we see profit-taking which leads to a pullback followed by a resulting bounce. We look to get positioned in some in-the-money calls on the pullback that we can unload when the rebound occurs.

Caterpillar, Inc. CAT
CAT beat on earnings as well, and the range of contracts that we’re most likely going to find the biggest chances for gains here, should fall between $86-89.  We want to stay in the money with our strike price and roll it up in the event the stock breaks out more sharply.

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR

For PBR, which is sliding back following yesterday’s post-market earnings release, we’re going to look for possible opportunities in Weekly Puts in the $9.00-8.50 range, depending on the intensity of the downward pressure we see on the stock as the market opens.


Enzon Pharmceuticals, Inc. ENZN

This is a stock that we want to put on our radars as we head into week’s end; biopharmas have been hot, and ENZN is among those that have been breaking out. We’re anxious to see how this play will continue to fare as it has been streaking into the blue sky.

It’s much like the move we saw in the past couple of weeks from VLTC, which spiked on news of an increased stake by billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn. It so happens that Icahn also owns shares in ENZN, which makes for an interesting side note. We’ll certainly want to keep this one in our sights moving forward.


Yahoo, Inc. YHOO – Options Ideas

If you recall, we were sitting on the fence with our approach to YHOO options yesterday as the internet search giant had fallen short on earnings. We noted that the heaviest action would likely be in the  $44-45 Calls or Puts, depending on the tone of the trend.

It became quickly apparent that YHOO was pulling back further upon the open,and anyone who followed our idea and latched onto the $44 Puts were in for quite a ride as those contracts traded in a range from .17-.55; an intraday swing of 223% The $45 Puts also made a move from .56-1.29, a slightly more subdued yet still very respectable 130%


Great Basin Scientific, Inc. GBSN

We need to congratulate anyone who caught our flag of GBSN in yesterday’s premarket report, as the stock made a healthy intraday run from 4.60-6.10 that could have afforded traders gains of up to 33% on the day on the heels of some FDA-related news.
