Thursday’s 5 Winners, 5 New Targets

Wrapping Up an Excellent Trading Week:

We were quite pleased with the way our options targets performed on Thursday, with all five of the ideas we included in our premarket report for the day producing solid gain opportunities. Out of every potential play we posted this week, just one of them failed to put forth instant results. If you’ve been following us for awhile, you know that this is the sort of success we have come to expect from ourselves. We very seldom miss, and we are rightfully proud of that fact.

Another Awesome Trading Day:

Yesterday morning’s premarket report couldn’t have gone off much better for us, with every single idea we floated turning up some really nice figures. We had a total of seventeen possible strike points spread over five options chains, and regardless of which was chosen, there were considerable gain opportunities to be had. Only ONE of those seventeen possibilities recorded an intraday move of less than 100%

We were looking at the BSX Weekly $62-64 Calls, the SBUX Weekly $96-98 Calls, the BA Weekly $200-205 Calls, the GSK Weekly $39.50-40 Calls, and the AMD Weekly $167.50-155 Puts. There were solid intraday upswings across the board, and here is the activity they posted on the session:

Fresh for our premarket report yesterday morning was a set of short-to-intermediate term options ideas for the GWPH chain, the 03/15 $165-175 Calls.

Etsy, Inc. ETSY – Recap

Tuesday morning, we announced our interest in the ETSY 03/15 $60-65 Calls, and while we saw some good gains out of it that day, we did mention yesterday morning that we would continue to track these ideas.

It was a good thing we reserved that space on our watch screen too, because ETSY followed up on its bullish Tuesday performance, with another solid upswing for Wednesday. The following figures are the overall increases from our observed lows in these contracts from Tuesday, to yesterday’s new highs.

$60 Calls – Range: 6.39-12.30 – Max Gain: 94%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ETSY Recap, New Ideas

Etsy, Inc. ETSY – Update

Yesterday morning, we floated a couple of fresh options ideas, as we have become accustomed to doing, and ETSY was one of those ideas. We signaled our interest in the ETSY 03/15 $60-65 Calls, and while they didn’t exactly set the world on fire, we did see some very nice first-day gain opportunities from that idea.

The $60 Calls traded in a range from 6.39-10.20 on the day, marking a move of 60% The $65’s fared marginally better, putting up a run from 3.49 to 6.42, which marked a rise of 84% Those were some modest, yet very respectable single-session rips, and with nearly three weeks remaining before they expire, we’ll go ahead and keep these plays on our radar going forward.



Fresh Options Ideas:
Weight Watchers Intl. Inc. WTW Weekly $23-20 Puts
GW Pharma plc GWPH 03/15 $165-175 Calls

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FTNW Ripping & More

Unity Group, Inc. UNIT

To kick off the fresh trading week yesterday, we tagged quite a large number of stocks in our Extended Watchlist, including UNIT with the note ‘Bottom-Watch’ attached. The stock had been absolutely pummeled in previous sessions, and a rebound appeared imminent.

We didn’t have to wait any time at all for that bounce to occur, with the stock posting a heck of an intraday performance. From a low of 8.29, UNIT surged its way up to a daily high of 11.5. That marks a very solid first-day performance for this play amounting to a gain of 37% We will continue to track the stock for further gains as the week the progresses.


General Electric Co. GE

We also wanted to recap the recent performance of GE. We mentioned this play shortly after the new year on January 8th, and observed a low of 8.18 the following day. Since then,we’ve seen fairly steady growth out of the stock, as it has run from that low up to a new high of 11.75 yesterday.

That represents an overall increase of 47% in roughly 7 weeks’ time. GE also just cracked its 200DMA yesterday, with the RSI about to head into the power zone, so we’ll want to continue our monitoring of its activity in coming sessions as well.



FTE Networks, Inc. FTNW

After being in a general downtrend since June, we’re seeing some sparks of life from FTNW, which is roaring up off of its 52-week lows as a result of announcing over $115M in new contracts. We are going to place this on our radar and strap in for what could be an impressive push off of its bottom.

Up considerably in the premarket, there are resistance areas roughly around $4, $6 and $10, and FTNW has the potential to crack some or all of those levels with the surge off of this latest news.
