Blue Horseshoe Stocks: LFAP, GPRO Recaps & More

LifeApps Digital Media, Inc. LFAP

Our timing in alerting LFAP in yesterday’s premarket report honestly couldn’t have been any better. The stock had fallen to a new 52-week low in the previous session, and we caught it on our news scanner with a PR which highlighted the launch of the company’s Apple Healthkit-Enabled App For iOS.

The coincidence of those two events provided a springboard for the stock, which opened at its daily low of .0027 and served up the chance at a double-bagger as it surged 100% to .0054. That was followed by a short recession to .0035, and rebound back to a high of .0047, tacking on an extra 34% spike.

Cheers go out to any of our readers who were able to take advantage of this timely call!


GoPro, Inc. GPRO – Options

GPRO turned out to be one of the better options trading calls we made this week. Yesterday we mentioned that as a result of a big gap up on earnings, we’d be on the lookout for potential plays in the range of Weekly $49-51.50 Calls.

The price action on GPRO as the stock predictably performed a dip-and-rip maneuver on the chart, provided a couple of swing opportunities in each set of contracts in our targeted range. For example:

The $49 Calls shot up 61% from 3.10 to 5.00 in the first 15 minutes of trading, and dipped back to a low of 2.40 before rebounding as high as 4.50, adding another 87% swing.

The $51.50’s first ran from 1.30-2.75 gaining 112%, and followed that up with a pullback to .92 before returning to 2.16 (+135%)

Each set of contracts between those low and high ends of our selected range ($49.50, $50, $50.50, & $51’s) also served up opportunities with similar price action and possible gains for traders.


Added Notes:

We picked up on a couple of stocks with fresh PRs out this morning that also happen to be coming up off of recent lows. As LFAP decisively proved yesterday, this has the potential to create the conditions necessary for rapid gains. We’ll have both of these on our radars as the session kicks off:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options, Bottom-Plays & More

GoPro, Inc. GPRO – Options

GPRO’s Q1 earnings beat on revenue and profits causing quite a surge in PPS. Yesterday the stock traded up from the $45-range to the $47-range, and this morning we’re observing a sizable gap-up, as GPRO has already changed hands for as much as 53.54 in the premarket.

In the midst of all this, we’ll be on the lookout for chances with GPRO Weekly Calls, most likely in the range from $49-51.50, with our strike price being dependent upon where the stock ultimately finds support off of this morning’s early highs.

It would fulfill a classic dip-and-rip scenario which by now, as our regular readers are well aware, is one of our favorite chart setups.


Windstream Holdings, Inc. WIN

We also want to point out the nice intraday move made by WIN following its inclusion in yesterday’s extended watchlist. The stock briefly touched a morning low of 10.71, before running 22% to a high of 13.05 on just under 4X its 3-month average volume.

The move came on the heels of upgrades for the stock from a number of Wall St. analysts, and over at one of our favorite data reference sites, BARCHART.COM, GPRO is currently receiving an 80% Short-Term “Buy” Rating.


LifeApps Digital Media, Inc. LFAP

LFAP is a potential subpenny bottom-play that is catching our attention this morning, and we wanted to pass it along to our readers. We’re always on the lookout for stocks trading at or near their 52-week lows, and not only does this one fit that bill, but the company also released some interesting news this morning.

At this price-point and in this situation, there’s always a chance for a nice rebound to provide quality opportunities for quick-strike trades.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Ideas, Bottom-Bouncer & More

 New Options Ideas

The Priceline Group, Inc. PCLN– It was just last week that we successfully targeted PCLN Calls in the $1065-1085 area, and already the stock has hurtled its way to its highest PPS levels since September. In this morning’s premarket the stock has traded as high $1225.75.

For a possible day-trade opportunities this week, we’re going to keep an eye on Weekly PCLN Calls in the $1180-1225 range, provided the stock can maintain support at or above $1175 on any pullbacks.

Tetraphase Pharmaceuticals, Inc. TTPH – TTPH is another morning gapper that we’re going to be transfixed upon this morning. In the midst of a ‘Superbug’ outbreak in California which is one of today’s top-reported headlines, TTPH, which is developing an antibiotic to combat these types of drug-resistant pathogens has become the subject of potential buyout rumors.

We’re going to monitor the TTPH $40 Calls for another possible short-term target as we head into the end of this holiday-shortened trading week.

Longer-term Ideas

In addition to the preceding short-term plays, we also have a couple of  ideas for longer-term opportunities with GoPro, Inc. GPRO and Garmin, GRMN. Both stocks have seen significant pullbacks this week, and are showing symptoms of a possible rebound in the premarket with slight gap-ups.

We will want to radar March 20th GPRO $47 and $48 Calls (Closed at 2.50 and 2.08, respectively).

For GRMN we’ll be monitoring the March 20th $52.50 and $55 Calls (Closed at .76 and .30, respectively).



Atheranova, Inc. AHRO

We also want to tag AHRO this morning as a potential bottom-bouncer. The stock recently fell off of a cliff, and yesterday began to rebound off its newly-established 52-week lows.

We always keep our eyes peeled for stocks in this position, as we have used them to our advantage time and time again.


Angie’s List, Inc. ANGI

ANGI was a point of focus on yesterday’s extended watchlist, as well as a topic of discussion in our trading chatroom*. The stock made a big move from 6.45-7.80, a 21% intraday spike.

The accompanying options idea we floated in our chatroom* yesterday were the March $7.50 Calls,. which made a significant move from .25-.85, and will continue to garner our attention moving forward.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Ideas & More

Gilead Sciences, Inc. GILD – Options

We’ve been hot on the trail of GILD Calls since Wednesday, when we brought forth the idea of using the $97 and $98 Calls to take advantage of GILD recovery from a beating it had taken following a mixed-result earnings call. Both sets of contracts brought us the chance to make major gains that day, with the 97’s and 98’s making moves of 226% and 253% respectively.

We reaffirmed our interest in those same calls in yesterday’s premarket report, and for the second day in a row, we were extremely pleased with the intraday opportunities afforded to us.

The $97 Calls, after trading as low as .79, would go on to set a daily high of 2.20, a 178% rip. The $98 Calls went on a run from 1.27 to as much as 3.05, a 140% increase.

Cheers go out to anyone else who was able to take advantage of our meticulous coverage of this excellent play this mid-week. It’s just the latest in a long line of great options trading ideas we’ve had so far in 2015, so even if you’ve missed everything up to this point, you’re not too late, because we have no intention of slowing down now!


Fresh Options Ideas

Twitter, Inc. TWTR

Twitter had an earnings beat post-market yesterday, and as a result the stock is gapping up significantly this morning. Our next potential area of interest is going to be with the TWTR $45 Calls. (Last Traded @ 1.00)

LinkedIn Corp. LNKD

Another social media earnings beater was LNKD, and in this case we’re going to be looking at Calls in the $260-263 range.  ($260’s last trade: 2.32 –  $262.50’s last trade: 2.00)


Rich Pharmaceuticals, Inc. RCHA

In addition to yesterday’s successful options plays was a stock we also mentioned in our morning report that went on to behave exactly as we predicted.

After making a huge run that topped 1700% the day prior, we mentioned our expectation that RCHA would pull back off of its extreme highs and offer us a subsequent bounceplay, and indeed it did.

The stock came down as low as .0091 before recovering to a daily high of .019. That was good for gains of up to 109% on the rebound.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: New Options Trading Ideas

Gilead Sciences, Inc. GILD
& Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. CMG – Options Ideas

We see potential opportunities in the options arena this mid-week, from a couple of stocks that we’re catching on the heels of their earnings calls. Despite earnings beats for both, each stock has actually fallen.

Gilead Sciences, Inc. GILD – Despite exceptional 2014 earnings, investors read between the lines on a number of other key aspects following last nights call, and as a result the stock is taking a bit of a beating. This morning’s premarket low stands at 90.60. That will be the price-point we’ll need to monitor to determine an options trading strategy. Should GILD sustain a recovery off of these lows, we’ll be looking at in-the-money Calls, most likely at the $97 and $98 levels. In the event that the stock begins to find new lows we’d need to flip our strategy to Put side of the fence.

Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. CMG – Here we have a similar situation, with CMG taking a beating in today’s premarket, having hit a low of $675. Like GILD, earnings expectations were exceeded, however shortcomings in sales and other key metrics has momentarily taken the wind out of CMG’s sails. This is another situation where we need to monitor the stock to ensure it doesn’t fall below the premarket low in order to secure our interest in playing the Calls. We’d obviously need to look at Puts if CMG were to backslide any further, but barring that occurrence, were going to be looking at Calls in the $675-$680 range.


Inergetics, Inc. NRTI

NRTI serves as a reminder of why it’s always a good idea to check our blog at Blue Horseshoe Stocks each morning even if you’ve consumed our report via email or elsewhere. The contents of our daily-updated Stock Tracker may or may not be included in that day’s report, and often those stocks we add at the last minute go on to provide big opportunities.

That was the case with NRTI yesterday; we placed it on the tracklist just minutes prior to the opening bell, and the stock made one heck of a move. From a low of .0115, it went on to touch a daily high of .02, marking a healthy intraday move of 74% on just over three times the 30-day average volume.
