Blue Horseshoe Stocks: LULU Recap & More

Lululemon Athletica LULU – Recap

If you have been following our newsletters for any significant period of time, you know that we’ve been hitting home runs left and right in the options trading arena. We offered up a range of contracts in the LULU chain to watch on Friday on the heels of the company’s earnings drop, the LULU Weekly $149-152.50 Calls.

Unsurprisingly, we saw some very nice activity out of those plays to close out what had already been another successful week for options.

$149 Calls – Range: 5.35-10.70 – Max Gain: 100%
$150 Calls – Range: 5.00-10.75 – Max Gain: 115%
$152.50 Calls – Range: 2.95-7.30– Max Gain: 147%

Another very notable move from the plays we were watching last week came from the SPY $290 Calls which experienced a significant dip and rip, trading as low as .06 before closing at .65, an intraday rise of 983%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TSLA Sustains Uptrend & More

Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA – Options

TSLA registered its fourth consecutive session of higher highs and higher lows yesterday. In our morning report, we had just finished congratulating those of our readers who took advantage of the options trading ideas we ventured (05/22 $230-240 Calls). Returns ranging from 78-140% were made possible between Friday and Monday, and yesterday’s performance extended those opportunities even further. We could see a continuance of that pattern into today as well.

News coming down the TSLA presswire has likely contributed to the strength of this run, with the State of Maryland giving the company the green light for four direct-sales outlets in the state, a major victory for the burgeoning automaker. >>LEARN MORE

With all that having been said, with TSLA’s PPS settling in the high $244-range upon yesterday’s close and breaching the $248 mark in this morning’s premarket trading, we’re going to want to roll our range of monitored contracts up for action that’s closer to the money.

Should TSLA continue its bullish patterns, we’ll be scanning 05/22 $240-250 Calls for quick-strike chances just like the ones we’ve already witnessed.

Gevo, Inc. GEVO

On Thursday of last week, we caught GEVO as it made a great run from a low of 3.28 that day to 7.26 the following day; allowing us to close out the week with a premium chance at up to 122% in profits.

Following that impressive move we mentioned that we wanted to see the stock hold at the 200DMA of 4.90 upon pulling back, and while the stock wasn’t quite able to do so, support ultimately came Monday at a low of 4.43.

We want to eye GEVO once again this midweek as premarket activity is carrying the stock past mid-$5 range.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Winning TSLA Calls, VGGL Recap & More

Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA – Options

On Friday we mentioned some longer-term options-trading ideas for TSLA Calls, and it didn’t take more than a couple trading days for them to bear fruit.

As our regular readers are aware by now, we often like to monitor an entire range of strike prices following a key development, and TSLA’s earnings release last midweek provided the fuel for our success in this case. We pointed to 05/22 $230-240 Calls, and every set of contracts in that range made a sizable run from their lows on Friday to impressive highs during yesterday’s session. Here’s a breakdown of their performances:

$230 Calls – Friday’s Low: 6.85 – Yesterday’s High: 13.50 (Closed: 10.30) – Max Gain: 97%

$232.50 Calls – Friday’s Low: 5.32 – Yesterday’s High: 11.25 (Closed: 8.65) – Max Gain: 111%

$235 Calls – Friday’s Low: 5.96 – Yesterday’s High: 10.60 (Closed: 8.70) – Max Gain: 78%

$237.50 Calls – Friday’s Low: 3.16 – Yesterday’s High: 7.60 (Closed: 5.00) – Max Gain: 140%

$240 Calls – Friday’s Low: 3.84 – Yesterday’s High: 7.50 (Closed: 5.75) – Max Gain: 95%

We are pleased with the progress we’ve seen thus far in these contracts, and we’re interested to see what the next nine trading days will bring leading up to their expiration.

Viggle, Inc. VGGL

Our next order of business this morning is to point out the solid move made by VGGL after we included the stock in yesterday morning’s extended watchlist. Catalyzed by favorable quarterly results (link below), it traded in a range from 3.00 to 4.24; a very respectable intraday move of 41%.

The spike came on roughly 25X the 3-month average volume and VGGL managed to close in the mid-3.70’s, holding the majority of its daily gains. Whenever we see a confluence of these two phenomena, we always want to keep our eyes peeled for a carryover of momentum into subsequent sessions.

Plug Power, Inc. PLUG

Our longer-term subscribers might remember the epic run we tracked in PLUG when we caught the stock coming off its all-time lows near a dime back in 2013. The lowest price we observed following our initiation of coverage on this play was .135 on 02/28/13. It led us on a long and exciting journey to a high of 11.72 nearly a year later, and from then on has held a spot on our list of all-time best calls.

More recently, in 2015, PLUG has been on an overall downtrend that carried the stock to new annual low of 2.32. Yesterday, we observed PLUG coming up off of those lows and hitting a high of 2.65, so we’re going to re-radar this as a potential recovery play. If it can crack through the 50DMA of 2.66, we could be in line to see a more sustained uptrend.
