Blue Horseshoe Stocks: KATE Recap & More

Kate Spade & Co. KATE – Recap

We closed out yesterday morning’s premarket report with a fresh options idea on KATE just following the company’s earnings report. While revenues were down, a healthy beat on profits led us to cast our lot in with the bulls.

We targeted KATE Weekly $20 and $21 Calls and were not disappointed with the outcome, with both sets of contracts providing ample opportunities for intraday gains.

The $20 Calls stopped just short of recording a double-bag move, running from 1.41 to 2.70, for a 91% rip. The $21s did manage that feat and then some, with a 131% pop from .65 to 1.50.


Fresh Options Ideas

VanEck Vectors Coal ETF (KOL) –  We want to put an extended watch on the coal industry just hours after breaking news of the signing of “Resolution 38”, which nullifies a recently enacted law barring coal miners from dumping project waste material in streams.

It’s a cost-cutting move that could benefit domestic coal producers in the long run, and could create some chances for us in the process. We want to add the KOL 03/17 $13 Calls, and  04/21 $14 Calls to our watchlist in the weeks and months ahead.

_____

Unilever PLC (UL) – Shares of UL spiked this morning on the heels of Unilever rejecting a $140B+ takeover bid. We’re looking to potentially take advantage of the resulting hype with an idea for possible daytrades.

We’re going to be keeping an eye on the UL Weekly $42.50-47.50 Calls for the chance at some quick-strike gain opportunities.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MYOS Recap, Gold Plays & More

  MYOS RENS Technology, Inc. MYOS

Easily the most solid performer that was discussed in yesterday morning’s premarket report, MYOS stole the show with everything we look for in a daily runner- an early burst that gives traders a chance at some nice intraday gains, high volume, and maintaining a good portion of the gains it makes into the close.

MYOS checked all three of those boxes yesterday, running early from its daily low of 3.61 up to a high of 5.48, which worked out to a nice 52% pop. MYOS closed at 4.72, maintaining over half of its daily advance, and did so on well over eight times the monthly average trading volume.

An all around performance like that certainly earns MYOS a continued slot on our radar screens in sessions ahead.


VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX)

With gold being so solid in the month of February, and indeed for most of 2017 so far, we want to rehash the idea we put forth on some GDX options and update our readers on their performance.

We initially signaled the GDX 02/10 $24-25.50 Calls in our report from January 23rd. Now set to expire on Friday, we wanted to circle back and remind our members of the kind of gains that could have been secured with this idea.

Here’s what they’ve done so far, and with gold continuing its climb, we can’t rule out seeing these upward trading range extended even further between now and the end of the week:

$24 Calls – Range: .32-1.46 – Max Gain: 356%
$24.50 Calls – Range: .19-1.05 – Max Gain: 453%
$25 Calls – Range: .11-.67 – Max Gain: 509%
$25.50 Calls – Range: .06-.39 – Max Gain: 550%

Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X ETF (NUGT) – Another gold analog we’ve got a history with is NUGT, so we’re also going to highlight some contracts that have some potential here as well. Being a triple-leveraged fund, the activity in NUGT resembles that of GDX, but the magnitude of the percentage gains it has made on its chart over the same period are notably higher.

Should the massive gold rally maintain its trend, we could be looking at some serious moves in the NUGT Weekly $13-14 Calls, so that’s where we’ll set our sights with this one.
