Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AZZ Review & More

Options Recap

Thanks to a choppy day for the markets as a whole, both of the bearish options ideas we formulated for yesterday morning’s premarket report provided opportunities that either approached or exceeded the threshold of double-bag status.

Dominos Pizza Inc. DPZ – Dominos was the primary big name earnings reporter yesterday, and we decided to tag the DPZ Weekly $235-227.50 Puts for possible swing trades after disappointing figures. Those contracts moved considerably right out of the starting gate, prior to the company announcing a massive $1B buyback program, roughly 30 minutes into the session.

$235 Calls – Range: 4.02-7.40 – Max Gain: 84%
$232.50 Calls – Range: 3.80-6.00 – Max Gain: 58%
$230 Calls – Range: 2.63-4.81 – Max Gain: 83%
$227.50 Calls – Range: 1.30-3.60 – Max Gain: 177%

Azz, Inc. AZZ 

With AZZ announcing a delay to its Q2 2020 earnings report, which was scheduled for yesterday premarket, we took the initiative to signal some puts there as well. Our targets were the AZZ Weekly $45-40 Puts and those were on a serious run throughout the day.

$45 Calls – Range: 4.20-9.00 – Max Gain: 114%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: EROS Update & More

Eros International Plc. EROS 

We revisited EROS yesterday morning, just under one month following our August 21st report, mentioning its recent run which began from a low of 1.20.

The stock was moving in the premarket in the wake of a news announcement placing the company in partnership with Microsoft. We felt the news had a chance to carry the stock even higher than we had seen it run already, and that’s just what yesterday’s session brought.

EROS ran to a new high of 3.92, which marked an overall increase of 227% over our observed low roughly three weeks ago. The performance was also good enough to land the stock in the #1 slot on the NASDAQ daily top gainers list.

Fresh Options Idea:
Overstock.com, Inc. OSTK 10/04  $15.50-16 Calls 
SPDR S&P 500 (ETF) SPY Weekly $299.50-300 Calls*

*Please do not attempt to speculate with weekly options on a Friday unless you are an expert level trader with access to disposable funds!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Big Shipping Options

Big Shipping Options Review 

Yesterday morning, we were feeling confident in a bearish session leading into the Fed meeting. Despite a last-hour rebound following the rate lowering, most of the day provided us with plenty of backsliding action that led to some very respectable single-session gains for our picks.

We had bearish ideas set up for both of the main players in the parcel shipping game, In each instance, we observed solid moves for every single one of our targeted contracts:

FDX Weekly $157.50-155 Puts
$165 Calls – Range: 4.30-9.20 – Max Gain: 114%
$167.50 Puts – Range: 3.00-7.00 – Max Gain: 133%

UPS Weekly $120-119 Puts
$120 Puts – Range: .67-1.37 – Max Gain: 104%
$119 Puts – Range: .44-.89 – Max Gain: 102%

Eros International Plc. EROS

We mentioned EROS most recently on August 21st, and shortly following that alert, the stock was trading for as little as 1.20. This morning we have observed a new high of 3.42 in the premarket in the wake of an announced partnership with Microsoft.

That’s a total increase of 185% in roughly seven weeks’ time. We’ll be interested to continue monitoring the activity from this point on.
