WW International, Inc. WW – Update 

To open up the last full trading week 2019 yesterday, we signaled a range of calls in the Weight Watchers options chain based on the technical setup, and to help us along at 9:15AM, just a few minutes after our reports went out, the company announced the extension of its partnership with Oprah Winfrey through 2025.

The resulting activity allowed ourselves and our readers the chance at the following intraday profits:

Big Gainers, New Ideas

Donaldson Company Inc. DCI

With the earnings calendar still looking a bit light following the Thanksgiving lull, we are seeing one potential opportunity showing some synergy with the current market environment.

DCI missed on earnings published this morning, while also having been exhibiting a strong double top formation (bearish signal). Along with what looks to be a strong chance of another lackluster day for the markets at large, we are going to begin tracking the DCI 12/20 $50-45 Puts. 


Kodiak Sciences, Inc. KOD 

We also wanted to review the epic single session performance of KOD, which we included in yesterday’s premarket extended watchlist.

The stock responded with a huge run from 35.00 to a high of 72.97. That works out to an intraday surge of 108% which is simply incredible for a stock in this price range.


Organogenesis Holdings Inc. ORGO

Lastly, we’ve got a number of factors drawing our interest to ORGO. From a technical standpoint, the stock is looking ripe for rebound off of its bottom and potential topside gap fill.

Meanwhile, an institutional insider filed a Form-4 for the purchase of $30M near the current lows. When considering the entire picture, ORGO is definitely one that we will want to observe closely in the days, and possibly weeks ahead.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Earnings and Bottom Plays

Acuity Brands, inc. AYI – Options Idea

After a lackluster Q3 report, AYI took a gut punch yesterday, but began to recover before the day was through, and appears to want to continue to course-correct today.

We are going to radar the AYI 07/19 $125-130 Calls. Even if this holiday shortened week comes to a predictably quiet close and doesn’t provide a ton of activity, we’ll still have plenty of time to get results before the 19th.


comScore, Inc. SCOR 

We’ve found what appears to be a prime bottom-watch candidate in SCOR. The stock is egregiously oversold at the present time, and has managed a couple of positive sessions this week.

The volatility potential on this stock is high. It’s not unreasonable to think that it could return to the $10 level or better over a period of several weeks or perhaps even months. We’ll designate this as a longer-term recovery play.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PIRS Review & More

Pieris Pharmaceuticals Inc. PIRS – Review

Of all the types of plays we search for, bottom watch plays can require the most amount of patience as compared to other quick-strike ideas that we formulate. We highlighted PIRS as such back in mid-February, and over the past quarter, the stock has produced some very favorable results in two distinct runs.

When we initially signaled our interest in this stock, or shortly thereafter, it was trading for as little as 2.83 and over the course of the next two months, it gradually made its way to 4.00 (+41%). After a pullback down near its original level at 2.81 halfway through last month, the stock has begun to run once again. This time it has reached all new highs, with the stock changing hands for as much as 4.68/share on Friday. That second push allowed us to see an overall increase of 67%

We wouldn’t be at all surprised to have to come back to PIRS once again in the near future. In addition to the company’s joint clinical venture with pharma super giant AstraZeneca, the stock itself has recently received analyst upgrades that could just be the beginning of PIRS’s next leg-up.


Xalles Holdings, Inc. XALL

We are also looking at the incredible momentum recently built up by XALL, which has been assisted by the resurgence of Bitcoin here in 2019, which began in January in the mid-$3000 range, and has persisted to the present time to the current highs near $8700.

The company also recently decreased its public float by around 50%, making it that much easier for the stock to move. We’ll be interested to continue to monitor its progress, especially if the latest Bitcoin boom continues to persist as it has in recent months.
