Blue Horseshoe Stocks: GNCA Review & More

OPTIONS REVIEW

We wrapped things up on Friday by going over some of our successes for the week,. and we also provided readers with a couple of quick strike options ideas for Friday’s session itself. It should come as no surprise, given the sheer numbers of winners we routinely unearth, that both of our ideas proved to be excellent chances to finish the week on a very high note.

Here are the ideas along with the total possible gains that could have been achieved on the day.

OKTA Weekly $111-113 Calls
$111 Calls – Range: 2.20-8.62  – Max Gain: 292%
$112 Calls – Range: 1.81-7.69 – Max Gain: 325%
$113 Calls – Range: 1.28-6.20 – Max Gain: 384%

BIG 06/21 $30-32.50 Calls
$30 Calls – Range: .15-.35   – Max Gain: 133%

SPY OPTIONS:
If the SPY can break 275.27, we’ll be looking at the Weekly $275.50 Calls, and if it falls below 274.50, we’ll be tracking the Weekly $274 Puts.


Genocea Biosciences, Inc. GNCA

We originally began tracking GNCA in our very first report of the new year (01/02) and we wanted to follow up with it now, five months later, as we are very impressed with where the stock has ended up. The stock actually set its 2019 low of 2.50 on January 2nd and it hasn’t looked back since.

By the end of February, the stock had doubled to five dollars, and now, it has doubled again. This morning in premarket trading, we’ve witnessed a new of 12.22 from GNCA, representing an total rise of 388% over our observed low. We’re going to be very interested to see what it’s going to do in this newfound blue-sky territory.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: More Big Winners

The Estee Lauder Companies Inc. EL – Recap

At this point, mentioning that our most recent fresh options idea turned in a great performance seems to be a foregone conclusion. Nearly everything we’ve touched in 2019 with respect to earnings related options ideas has turned to gold.

EL is just the next link in that chain of premium options tradings ideas we’ve delivered to our readers so far this. It was a new idea for yesterday morning’s premarket report, the EL Weekly $145 & $150 Calls,  and both of those strike points produced big-time single-session gains.

The $145’s ran 128% from 5.28 to 12.00, while the $150’s exploded from a low of 1.99 and hit 7.50, for potential intraday profits of up to 276%

Fresh Idea:
GSK Weekly $39.50-40.50 Calls
GM Weekly $39-41 Calls


Travena, Inc. TRVN

We also want to review a call we made on a stock at the end of 2018 that has found success in the early goings of 2019. We highlighted TRVN for observation in our report dated December 28th, and that day, the stock was trading for as little as .40, and it would never fall lower.

The reached .60 around the halfway point through January, and last week, exactly a month following our tag, TRVN kicked into high gear, reaching 1.45; an increase of 263% over our observed low from the morning of our initial alert.

The stock is currently flirting with its 200DMA, and if it can break previous resistance around the 1.50 area, there is a massive gap to the upside. Things could get even more interesting from there.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPY, TSLA Options

SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY) – Options Ideas

We’ve now had two consecutive sessions of gains for stocks following a weeks-long downtrend, and are eager to see if this reversal of fortune has a more lasting effect. With a high degree of uncertainty at play, and the potential for volatile swings in either direction, we’re going to signal two opposing sets of ideas in the SPY chain, to set ourselves up for any eventuality. We may even see a case of another dip-and-rip kind of session, where we play one set early on and another later in the day.

Our two sets of ideas are going to be the SPY Weekly $248-249.50 Calls*, and the SPY Weekly $251-250 Puts*.  If the SPY can get above the premarket high of 251.16 during the session, we’ll look to our bullish ideas. Failure to do so, will cause us to track the bearish ones. Either way we should have good opportunities laid before us by the SPY today.


Tesla, Inc. TSLA – Options Idea

We’ve also formulated an idea for the TSLA chain. Tesla stock is getting another boost this morning after proposed additions to the board of directors, including Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle Corp. (ORCL), are being very well received by investors.

We’re going to track the TSLA Weekly $322.50-327.50 Calls* on the heels of this announcement.

*NEVER trade options with a weekly expiration on a Friday unless you are an advanced level trader with disposable funds!
