Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FB Options

Facebook, Inc. FB – Options Idea

With the half day of trading today, and the general subdued sense of the holiday, we don’t expect this session to be full of much excitement, but we have identified an idea that we can watch into next week and possibly beyond.

Facebook has been in a downward pattern for several months, and as you can see on the chart below, produced a significant bottom bounce signal. In fact, all of our favorite indicators seem to suggest an up-cycle could be in the cards heading into the new year. For that possibility, we are going to highlight a range of options calls that we can observe and potentially take advantage of in the days and weeks ahead.

We’re going to put the FB 01/18 $135-145 Calls on watch, and if the stock can rebound back toward its previous resistance area, those should be in pretty good shape.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: JWN Recap & More

Nordstrom Inc JWN

The first thing we want to talk about this morning is the performance of JWN on Friday following its inclusion in our premarket report. We zeroed in on the JWN Weekly $52.50-57.50 Calls for some end of the week daytrading opportunities, and came up with some really nice movers.

Strong multibag moves were there for the taking all across the board, helped out by the company’s Q2 revenues which easily surpassed expectations on the Street with the aid of a boost in sales.

$52.50 Calls
– Range: 3.00-6.60 – Max Gain:  120%
$55 Calls – Range: 1.12-4.20 – Max Gain: 275%
$57.50 Calls – Range: .19-1.69 – Max Gain: 789%

Canopy Growth Corp. CGC

For another update, we want to track back to our idea from Wednesday morning’s premarket report, the CGC 09/21 $30-40 Calls.

The stock achieved new highs on Friday, and thus our highlighted options calls continued to pile on more gains as well. Here’s the ranges and total possible profits on those contracts so far:

$30 Calls – Range: 1.76-4.50 – Max Gain: 156%
$35 Calls – Range: .56-2.00 – Max Gain: 257%
$40 Calls – Range: .16-.72 – Max Gain: 350%

Tyson Foods Inc. TSN – Review

A couple of weeks ago on August 6th, we signaled a range of TSN calls as the stock was just coming off of a bottom in the mid-$50 range. Those were the TSN 08/31 $62-63 Calls, and after a solid stretch of upward momentum, the stock reached new highs on Friday at $62.60.

That move has allowed for big gain chances in two out of three of our designated calls. The $63’s haven’t quite begun to see action just yet, but we’ve seen great moves from the $62’s, which ran from .30-.95 (+217%) and the $62.50’s which traded up from .22 to .61 (+177%)

Fresh Idea:
SPY 08/20 $284.50-286 Calls 



Seven Stars Cloud Group Inc SSC

We slated SSC for observation on July 24th and the stock traded as low as 1.95 following that mention. This morning we are seeing an abnormal gap up, with the stock trading as high as 5.30 in the premarket.

So, in addition to the 172% move we have witnessed thus far, we will be on the lookout for a dip-and-rip to possibly see even more gains out of this play.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TSN Recap & More

Tyson Foods Inc. TSN – Update

We started the week off yesterday by formulating some options ideas for TSN. The company had a mixed earnings call, with a beat on Q3 profits, and a miss on sales. We pointed to the technical setup of the chart as our primary reason for being interested, and as it turns out we called the bottom perfectly.

We came up with a short and longer term set of ideas, and while we may yet come back to the long terms, we are looking at the weekly calls we designated today after some solid performances. Those were the TSN Weekly $58-59.50 Calls, and all but the $58’s produced double-bag gains on the session.

$58.50 Calls – Range: .90-2.25 – Max Gain: 150%
$59 Calls – Range: .80-1.68 – Max Gain: 110%
$59.50 Calls – Range: .75-1.50 – Max Gain: 100%



Fresh Options Ideas

Our success with options over the past several weeks has been so pronounced, we see absolutely no reason to stop now, especially being in the thick of another earnings season. We’ve got another pair of earning related options ideas to bring to the table today.

Etsy, Inc. ETSY Weekly $40-50 Calls
Zillow Group, Inc. Z Weekly $48-49 Calls
