Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Winning Options


OPTIONS REVIEW

We signaled our interest in two sets of options ideas in yesterday morning’s premarket report, and we managed to see sizable intraday gain chances as a result of both of them. The total possible intraday gains for each play were as follows:

Target Corp. TGT –  For Target, in the wake of an analyst upgrade, we highlighted the TGT Weekly $75-77 Calls.and saw some solid opportunities to profit.

$75 Calls – Range: 2.27-4.22 – Max Gain: 86%
$75.50 Calls – Range: 2.00-3.52  – Max Gain: 76%

Advance Auto Parts, Inc. AAP – We also were looking at the AAP chain following the company’s earnings beat yesterday. Our area of interest there was the AAP 06/21 $165-170 Calls, and those also fared extremely well. The $165’s ran from 5.25-9.00 for a 71% pop, and the $170’s traded up from a low of  3.00 and hit 5.80, an intraday upswing of 93%

With nearly a month remaining until expiration, and the stock still well below any areas of major resistance, we’ll be interested to continue tracking these plays.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Interesting Bottom Play

Chaparral Energy, Inc. CHAP

We noticed CHAP on our routine morning scan today, and wanted to highlight the current situation for the stock as a potential longer-term swing trade idea. We are attracted to the setup of the chart, which is presently exhibiting a classic double bottom. At the start of the calendar year, CHAP came off of the same lows and surged nearly 100% to the $8-range.

We also want to relay the cause of CHAP’s recent analyst upgrade. The company report a slew of operational and financial highlights in its recent 10-K pertaining to the company’s 4th quarter and full year 2018 performance.

CHAP Q4/FY 2018 Highlights

India Globalization Capital, Inc. IGC – Update

As we were mentioning yesterday morning, ICG was a near-perfect bottom call we made roughly three weeks ago in our report on September 10th and thereafter we would observe a low of 1.03.

Tesla Inc TSLA – Recap

Yesterday morning we mentioned that our idea from Tuesday morning, the TSLA Weekly $300-310 Calls, most likely stood to gain even more ground based on the stock’s premarket activity.

As it turned out, we were absolutely correct, with each of the five contracts we designated as items of interest extending their highs on the day. Here are the updated figures from Tuesday’s session through yesterday’s closing bell:

$300 Calls – Range: 11.10-18.60 – Max Gain: 68%
$302.50 Calls – Range: 10.00-16.25 – Max Gain: 62%
$305 Calls – Range: 8.65-15.30 – Max Gain: 77%
$307.50 Calls – Range: 7.70-13.45 – Max Gain: 75%
$310 Calls – Range: 6.60-12.00 – Max Gain: 82%

Tesla is gapping up today and looks to be ready to push these contracts deep in the money, so we’ll expect to see these ranges and possible gains extended even further from here.
