Eye-Popping Options Gainers:

We made a wide selection of potential options plays for yesterday morning’s premarket report, all of which came off of the earnings list. As we’ve mentioned many times before, post-earnings release options plays have become our favorite type of trading target over the years for good reason. They present exactly the type of moderate-risk/high-reward scenarios that we’re always after.

Yesterday’s targets included the TJX Weekly $70-71 Calls, the LOW Weekly $187.50-190 Calls, and the WB Weekly $47-49 Calls. While they all posted positive intraday moves, the TJX and LOW calls absolutely blew their lid for some next-level, thousand-percent-plus, single session gain chances!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Recent Winners


Recapping Recent Hot Picks

First thing’s first- we would like to include a quick update on two of the stocks to appear in our report yesterday, in which we had already witnessed very nice gains.  Both stock pressed to new highs during yesterday’s session, so we wanted to update readers on their continued success.

Tandem Diabetes Corp. TNDM  –  We called TNDM initially on April 11th, whereupon we observed a low of 6.62.  Yesterday the stock rose another 12% intraday, running from 10.75 to 12.05. That new high represents an 82% jump since our first alert, just over a month ago.

Stein Mart, Inc. SMRT – Also appearing in yesterday’s report for having put up impressive figures following our March 16th alert and subsequent observed low of 1.33, was SMRT. The stock reached a notable new high of 3.94. marking a two-month uptrend amounting to 196%


Arcadia Biosciences, Inc. RKDA

To come back to yet another great call we made last Tuesday (05/08), we’ve got RKDA. A couple of sessions following that first call, the stock would register a low of 7.31, and this week, we’re seeing the stock reaching new heights.

Yesterday it hit 12.25, which marks a rise of 67% in a matter of just six trading days. There is still a lot of room to the upside on the chart for RKDA to travel, so we’re definitely going to keep our eyes peeled for further bullish activity from RKDA.

Heat Biologics, Inc. HTBX

Speaking of charts with potential, we tagged HTBX on Monday, and it has been trending in the right direction, trading up from 1.35 to 1.74 so far. As you can see on the provided snapshot, it still has a very ripe-looking chart.
