Blue Horseshoe Stocks: NKE Review & More

NIKE, Inc. NKE – Options Update

Yesterday we brought a grouping of NKE options ideas to the table following a post-market options beat the previous day.

Despite the slow market conditions that are to be expected of a week leading into the year-end holidays, we felt that NKE was set to provide some opportunities, and we weren’t disappointed.

Our targets for “daytrades and/or swing trades” were the NKE Weekly $52.50-54 Calls and it appears as if both notions will turn out to be correct, with the stock looking like it could post another strong session today. As for the daytrades that were possible yesterday, we saw the most notable moves out of three sets of contracts in our highlighted range:

$52.50 Calls – Range: .15-.38 – Max Gain: 153%
$53 Calls – Range: .07-.21 – Max Gain: 200%
$29 Calls – Range: .03-.09 – Max Gain: 200%

ERF Wireless, Inc. ERFB

We want to provide a quick update on ERFB this morning, which we highlighted in last Friday’s premarket repot.  The stock saw a subsequent low of .0013 following that alert, and as of yesterday it had pushed as high as .0079.

That worked out to a 508% intraweek move up, so we want to say congrats to anyone who took this subpenny popper for a ride on the heels of last week’s tag.

Potential Bottom-Plays

We found a pair of stocks this morning that are both trading near their relative bottoms, with strong indications of impending rebounds on both of the charts.

Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. IMMY
& Ideal Power, Inc. IPWR

In addition to a ripe-looking chart, IMMY has seen some insider buying of late. A recent Form-4 filing revealed a significant buy ($280K) from CEO Mark Baum, who, coincidentally enough, also serves on the board of IPWR. We’re going to keep both of these stocks on recovery watch in the days and weeks ahead.

Fresh Options Idea:  MU Weekly $22-23.50 Calls

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Shipping Watchlist & More

Shipping Sector Watchlist

Earlier this fall, we found an incredible amount of success within the shipping sector, as an industry-wide wave of bullish activity carried many related stocks to record moves.

That rush tuckered out a few weeks back, but we want to circle back around this morning to cast a light on several of these stocks that we think could be gearing up for a recovery. Each of the following had been in a drastic downturn leading into yesterday’s session, and each of them began to show some major signs of life in coming off their bottoms.

We’ll want to keep all of them in mind in coming sessions, and watch for signs that a more sustained uptrend could take effect.

Dry Ships, Inc. DRYS

Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. SINO

Diana Containerships, Inc. DCIX

Diana Shipping, Inc. DSX

Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. SHIP

Euroseas Ltd. ESEA

Global Ship Lease, Inc. GSL

Catalyst Biosciences, Inc. CBIO

We stipulated yesterday that if CBIO held above .80 on any early pullbacks, that we’d be interested in tracking its activity through the session, and it did just that.

The intraday machinations of the stock actually provided two separate opportunties for swing trades. First, the initial run out of the gate that took it from 1.12-1.42 (+27%) and a subsequent dip-and-rip pattern from .855 back to 1.12 later on in the day (+31%).

With volatility sufficient to provide over 50% in cumulative gains on the day, and the fact that it maintained support above our designated level, we’ll keep CBIO on our radar for the time being.

Eli Lilly and Co. LLY

On strong 2017 guidance released this week, LLY beat Wall Street’s forecast outlook estimates for the first time in 3 years. As a result, the stock started to climb, and has begun to fill a large gap on the chart to the upside.

What we want to do here is highlight both a short term and extended term options trading idea to correspond with the present situation. For swing trades this week, we’ll look at the LLY Weekly $72 and $72.50 Calls, and to take advantage of the possibility of an extended uptrend, the LLY 01/20 $75 Calls.
