Ringing in 2024 with a 4-Pack of Fresh Ideas

Best Wishes for 2024!

In a rare occurrence, we opted not to include any options trading ideas on Friday before breaking for the holiday. There were no earnings reporters, and the markets were looking rather subdued, and set up for a humdrum kind of a day. It was a quiet end to a year that had been anything but quiet, but we’re ready to get things rolling for 2024. We’ll still be without earnings reporters today, but that won’t stop us from rooting out something to focus upon for this first trading day of the year.

If 2024 turns out anywhere near as positive as 2023 was, we will be in very good shape! It is the 13th calendar year since we opened up BlueHorseshoeStocks.com as a daily archive of all of our newsletters (all 3,230 of which are still public and available for review!) and we’re going stronger than ever! To subscribers new and old, we hope you’ll stick with us for what promises to be a VERY interesting 2024!

Winning Options Recap: 

On Friday morning, we were marveling at the performance of all of the excellent options ideas we floated to our readers last week, with nearly every signal we made yielding chances for sizable quick-strike gains.

We ended the week with two final options target suggestions, and unsurprisingly, we hit on both of those as well. Our interests were the ULTA Weekly $335-345 Calls, and the CRM Weekly $232.50-237.50 Calls. ULTA was the favorite by a nose, but they both produced significant chances for intraday profit.

Here are the figures on the ranges and total possible gains on the table for those plays: 

ULTA Weekly $335-345 Calls
$335: 8.69-15.70 (+81%)
$337.50: 7.77-14.40 (+85%)
$340: 5.33-12.90 (+142%)
$342.50: 4.10-9.65 (+135%)
$345: 2.93-8.05 (+175%)

CRM Weekly $232.50-237.50 Calls

$232.50: 6.28-9.82 (+53%)
$235: 4.00-7.50 (+87%)
$237.50: 2.24-5.07 (+126%)


Fresh Options Ideas:

This morning we are going to signal a longer-term set of calls for NGM, which is searching for a bottom at the present time. When the inevitable rebound occurs, there is a massive $10 gap on the chart to the upside which could pave the way for a nice rebound play in the NGM 07/16 $15-17.50 Calls.

We’ll also watch the CAN 06/18 $7.50-10.00 Calls, the KIRK 06/18 $25-27.50 Calls, and the CLDR Weekly $15-16 Calls on the heels of the three companies’ earnings drops this morning.

BABA Weekly $222.50-227.50 Calls


Good Gaming, Inc. GMER – One more brief note on another winning play for us- we signaled GMER in Friday’s extended watchlist and subsequently witnessed a pretty good performance from the stock. It traded in a range from .0461-.174, providing chances at huge gains of up to 277% on the day!
