Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Tech Options Review

OPTIONS REVIEW

We were banking on a market reversal yesterday in tandem with good performances from a couple earnings plays that we formulated some options ideas for, and got everything we wanted.

Both of the plays were in the tech sector, which turned out to see some of the highest incidences of recovery, and it facilitated some very nice gain opportunities for anyone who was paying attention to our ideas.

Despite the appearance of yet another reversal and possibly another down day, we are quite pleased with the double-bag, single-session gains afforded to us by these two tech stocks.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Ideas, Updates

Global Payout, Inc. GOHE – Update

On our first day of coverage we saw quite a respectable performance out of GOHE, with a solid move on the chart, along with an influx of heavy volume.

The stock traded in a range from .025 to .035 on the day, which worked out to an intraday move of 40%, with more than four times the 30-day average number of shares changing hands. We’ll continue to keep a close eye on the stock, looking for the recording of higher lows and higher highs in sessions ahead.

If you didn’t catch our special report on GOHE published yesterday, then we urge you to do so now:

American Leisure Holdings, Inc. AMLH

For another quick recap of a recent mention of ours to make significant strides during yesterday’s session, we’ve got AMLH. We included a tag of this play in Tuesday’s report, and saw a moderate pop toward the end of that session, but yesterday is when things kicked into a higher gear in terms of intraday movement.

We watched as AMLH traded up from a low of .0027 and eventually hit .0052, for a daily rip of  93% which occurred on roughly 2.5X the monthly average volume.


CarMax, Inc. KMX – Options Idea

We always like a good earnings-related options play, so we’re looking at KMX this morning, which recently showed signs of reversing off of a relative bottom.

. After a solid beat, we’ve seen a moderate premarket gap-up, and would like to signal a range of longer-term ideas that could see some appreciable gains if KMX can mount an extended comeback. We’re going to focus on the KMX 05/19 $60-$65 Calls. For a shorter-term idea, we’ll watch the KMX 04/21 $57.50 and $60 Calls.



EV Energy Partners, L.P.  EVEP

We like the look of the chart on EVEP, which we’re going to tag as a potential bottom-bouncer this morning. The stock has already strung together a few bullish sessions, and the chart itself looks ripe for the possibility of a more protracted recovery.

As you can see on the snapshot below, the RSI is on the cusp of cracking the 50-line, while the MACD just underwent a recent bullish cross and is showing upward divergence. These technical indicators put EVEP high on our list of possible recovery plays.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ASTI Recap, Options Reminder & More

Trevena, Inc. TRVN

Of all of the plays that we were monitoring via our extended watchlist in yesterday’s premarket report, the most potent intraday performance came from TRVN. The stock had made a nice move in the previous session, had pulled back, and looked primed for another nice move based on the premarket activity we observed.

As the overall markets saw a trend reversal, TRVN made a solid, steady, run from a daily low of 9.21 up to 11.47; that registered as a 25% increase on more than 12X the 3-month average volume.

The stock is increasing further in the premarket today (traded as high as 11.83 thus far), so we might want to look out for the possibility of a slight dip followed by a continuation of yesterday’s momentum.


Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. ASTI

ASTI is a stock we’re very familiar with, as a quick tag search of our archives reveals, we’ve taken advantage of this stock multiple times over the years. A couple of weeks ago, we tagged the stock as a bottom-watch play after noticing it was being beaten back to new 52-week lows.

We stated that ASTI was a prime candidate for a bounceplay, and an extreme item of interest “because when a rebound does occur, it could be very significant.” and we couldn’t have been more spot-on in that assumption.

It’s ultimate low of .10 came just three sessions hence, and the impressive multi-day recovery pushed ASTI as high as .3597 yesterday. That represents an overall swing of 260%


Options Reminder:

Last Thursday just as the markets were becoming highly distressed, we formulated set of longer-term options plays to watch once a market rebound began to occur.

Yesterday, another reversal came to pass, so we just wanted to issue a brief reminder of the potential targets we listed, and are still tracking heavily: 09/18-10/02 Calls in the FB, GPRO, GMCR, AAPL, NFLX, and TSLA chains.
