Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Trio

Fresh Options Ideas

We have a trio of fresh options ideas for today’s report- a couple of earnings plays, and a Form-4 alert. 

Ulta Beauty, Inc. ULTA – We saw a Form-4 pop up on ULTA last week, as the stock was beginning to find its way up off a bottom. There is an absolutely massive topside gap on the chart, so we’re looking at this as a longer-term idea.

We’re set to track the ULTA 11/01 $260-265 Calls over the next few weeks, which would play very well if the stock can even begin to fill that gap.
_____

McCormick & Co. Inc. MKC – First up for our pair of earnings plays, we’ve got MKC, which posted a Q3 profit beat as well as heightened guidance. We’re going to tag the MKC Weekly $155-160 Calls for observation this morning.
_____

Stitch Fix, Inc. SFIX 
 – Lastly, we’ve got SFIX earns coming up in the post-market this afternoon, and the stock is at a really good spot on the chart. We’re going to radar the SFIX Weekly $19.50-20 Calls.


IMPORTANT REMINDER!

We will be initiating coverage on a brand new high-potential nanotech play tomorrow morning!

Stay glued to those inboxes or visit BlueHorseshoeStocks.com shortly after 9AM tomorrow morning for our Special Report!

Fresh Idea:
SPDR S&P500 (ETF) SPY $299-300 Calls


Taronis Technologies, Inc. TRNX

On Monday morning, we highlighted TRNX as a prime bottom-bounce candidate, and we’d like to wrap up the week by going over the solid swings which we subsequently observed in the stock.

On Monday itself, our choice in timing on calling this play was affirmed as we saw a solid 52% run from  .25-.38. This was followed by a pullback to a low of .1832 the following day, and over the course of the rest of the week, TRNX has stair-stepped its way back up to .34, which represents an additional 86% swing.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Wrapping Up Big Week for Options

Options Review

We included a pair of options ideas in yesterday’s premarket report, and scored multi-bag hits on both accounts.

We were banking on a third straight bullish day for the markets with our SPY idea, and betting that the huge premarket gap-up on SFIX was unsustainable. In both cases we were correct, and it provided us with the following opportunities:

SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY) Weekly $283-284 Calls
$283 Calls – Range:
.98-2.81  – Max Gain: 187%
$284 Calls – Range: .57-2.00 – Max Gain: 251%

Today we will be looking to roll up our strike price on the SPY and tracking the SPY Weekly $285-286 Calls*.

Stitch Fix, Inc. SFIX Weekly $31-30 Puts
$30 Puts – Range: 1.40-3.22 – Max Gain: 130%

*Never trade weekly options on Friday, unless you are an advanced level trader with access to disposable funds!


At Home Group, Inc. HOME

HOME just missed on earnings and received an analyst downgrade, but on the hunch that the resultant gap-down was based on overreaction, we’re going to radar a set of contracts in the HOME chain to monitor in the event of a rebound. There is an enormous gap now sitting on the chart just waiting to be filled. We’ll have plenty of time to see that happen with the HOME 09/20 $8-10 Calls.
