Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PCTL Run Continues

Posted on by

PCT Ltd. PCTL

We have been hot on the trail of PCTL for nearly a month now, and the progress this OTC play has made in that time span  has been extraordinarily impressive. Shortly following our original alert from 07/22, we would observe a low of .0085 in PCTL. It didn’t take long for the stock to break out of subpenny territory, and the gains it has piled on following that have been huge.

Yesterday, the stock continued to streak into blue skies as it registered a new high of .0416, which represents an overall increase of 389% over our observed low!


SPDR S&P500 (ETF) SPY – Recap

We offered up some SPY calls for observation to kick off the week in yesterday morning’s premarket report, and those got off to a solid start. Our targets were the SPY Weekly $290.50-291.50 Calls
and we’re happy to report that intraday multi-bag gains were there for the the taking.

This was as the rebound from last Wednesday’s bloodbath continued, and the markets persisted in their recovery.

The total single-session moves and total possible profits were as follows: 

$38.50 Calls – Range: 1.20-2.50 – Max Gain: 108%

Options Updates: 

We’re going to start out this morning by going over some recent extended term options ideas we’ve had and the success they’re enjoying after Friday’s market rebound from Wednesday’s big dip. We are also seeing the makings of a continuation of Friday’s momentum today, so we expect to see the gains listed on our ideas to below to be expanded with another bullish session. 

Agilent technologies, Inc. A – Our timing with Agilent couldn’t have been much better, citing the A 9/20 $65-70 Calls as our area of interest on Wednesday. The recovery that would follow for stocks in general would  help push those targets to some extremely solid intraweek runs.

$65 Calls – Range: 3.50-6.71 – Max Gain: 92%
$67.50 Calls – Range: 2.30-4.48  – Max Gain: 95%
$70 Calls – Range: 1.35-2.80 – Max Gain: 107%

Boeing Corp. BA - We have been tracking a range of Boeing calls since early this month, signaling our interest in the BA 09/06 $340-350 Calls on the morning of August 5th. We’ve seen some pretty good activity from four out of those five sets of contracts, and will continue to monitor for further gains as we mentioned above.

$340 Calls – Range: 2.80-4.64 – Max Gain: 66%
$342.50 Calls – Range: 2.10-3.70  – Max Gain: 59%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Big-Time Options Wins

Posted on by

Three Ideas, Three Successes 

We didn’t let the DOW’s biggest drop of the year on Wednesday discourage us from producing three new options ideas for our readers yesterday morning. The three sets of contracts we issued alerts on were the SPY Weekly $284.50-286 Calls, the WMT Weekly $111-114 Calls, and the BABA Weekly $165-170 Calls. 

This morning, we are happy to close out the week by relaying to you, the total trading ranges and possible percentage gains that were there for the taking with all three of our ideas. We’re going to lay them out a bit differently than usual today, but the gains remain the same!

SPY Weekly $284.50-286 Calls
$284.50: 1.00-2.08 (+108%) | $285: .81-1.77 (+119%)
$285.50: .67-1.46 (+118%) | $286: .50-1.22 (+144%)

WMT Weekly $111-114 Calls
$111: .55-2.20 (+300%) | $112: .22-1.38 (+572%)
$113: .10-.76 (+660%) | $114: 05-.35 (+600%)

BABA Weekly $165-170 Calls.
$165: 1.50-3.50 (+133%) | $167.50: .55-1.76 (+220%)
$170: .18-.70 (+289%)

Fresh Options Idea: 
We’ll also leave this off for the week with one final idea, the OSTK $18.50-19.50 Calls.


PCT Ltd. PCTL

Earlier in the week when we provided another update on PCTL we mentioned that subsequent to our previous alert, the stock ran from .0085 to a new high of .0228. We also pointed out a patch of resistance around the .029 area, stating that we “wouldn’t be surprised to see PCTL test in upcoming sessions”.

Just a couple of sessions later, yesterday, PCTL did indeed test and break that resistance, setting a new high of .0432. That brings our total observed gain on this stock since August 5th to a whopping 507%


Sintx Technologies, Inc. SINT – Recap

Lastly, we had a runner on yesterday’s extended watchlist was well, as SINT had quite an interesting session. The stock saw an early low of 2.355 before running up to 4.32, for an intraday move of 83%

SINT then lost all of that ground and came down to close at 2.19. What makes that’s interesting is the volatility we’re seeing in the stock, and with SINT now back at a bottom, we could be headed for more intraday opportunities with this play, so we’ll keep it on the radar for now.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Bucking the Trend

Posted on by

HUYA Inc. HUYA – Bucking the Trend

Despite the markets as a whole precipitating the worst single-session drop-off of 2019 thus far, yesterday morning we included an options idea for HUYA on the heels of its earnings, and the stock was able to buck the overall market trend.

We had the HUYA Weekly $21-22 Calls on watch for the day, and all three contract sets afforded traders the chance at multi-bag gains on the day, flying in the face of the bloodbath that was occurring elsewhere.

The total potential profits on the table for those HUYA options were as follows:

$21 Calls – Range: .58-1.30 – Max Gain: 124%
$21.50 Calls – Range: .40-.95  – Max Gain: 138%
$22 Calls – Range: .20-.70 – Max Gain: 250%

**We published the right ranges, but the wrong set of gains in error this morning. Our apologies. The table has now been updated to reflect the correct percentage gains.

More Fresh Options Ideas:

Stock futures are headed back up this morning, at least in the premarket, on the heels of Walmart’s earnings report. We’re going to formulate a corresponding idea for that chain, as well as the SPY, and Alibaba which also reported its earnings today.

SPY Weekly $284.50-286 Calls
WMT Weekly $111-114 Calls
BABA Weekly $165-170 Calls 

Red Rocks Resort, Inc. RRR

To finish things up this morning, we’re going to place RRR on watch for a potential recovery n the days and weeks ahead. We noticed a series of Form-4 buys coming in at the bottom following the company’s earnings beat last week, to the tune of more than $20M.

You can also see that the MACD, one of our go-to indicators, is ripening for a bullish cross at any time. The volatility potential is here as well. We’ll want to radar RRR for a rebound going forward.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Perfectly-Timed Bottom Plays & More

Allakos, Inc. ALLK -  Recap

We began tracking ALLK on Monday morning, and formulated some options ideas ($45-60) which worked for us in Monday’s session, bringing in some nice gain opportunities. Then yesterday rolled around and we shared the huge news reported by the company in our premarket report along with the gains that our options ideas made.

The news on ALLK proved to be very influential on the activity of the stock, pushing it even further than Monday’s big surge had taken it. From the low that morning of 60.34, ALLK has run all the way up to a new high yesterday at 85.40, which marked a two-day upswing of 42%

While the lower end of our tracked options range was too deep in the money to see any real progress, the $60 Calls remained in play, and hit a high of 23.82. From our observed low of 6.75 on Monday, those contracts rose by a whopping 253%
_____

We also signaled interest in the Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. IIPR 08/16 $100-105 Calls 
yesterday, and those got off to a modest, yet promising start. The $100′s traded in a range from 6.50-7.90 for a rise of 22%, while the $105′s ran 23% from 4.50-5.90. We’ll continue to monitor these ideas into their expiration next week.

Fresh Ideas: 
CVS Weekly $55.50-57 Calls
SPY Weekly $286-285 Puts


Durect Corp DRRX

We also want to highlight the incredible performance that DRRX has had this summer to finish things up this morning. We tagged the stock for observation on May 28th, at which time we observed a low of .50, and it turned out to be a great nbottom call, as it hasn’t looked back since.

Slow and steady growth over the past two months has brought DRRX to a new high of 1.44 this week. That represents an overall increase of 188% in the time we’ve been observing this play.
