Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Recap, Bottom-Watchlist

Options Updates

We’ve signaled a number of options ideas recently, and would like to take an opportunity this morning to go over the types of gains that they’ve produced this week. Each of them has an extended term remaining until expiration and will continue to remain on our wathlist moving forward.

On Monday we presented the PODD 01/20 $35 Calls for observation, and in the ensuing two sessions, we’ve witnessed a solid 48% move from 2.00 up to 2.95.

Yesterday, we added the GDDY 01/20 $36 Calls into the mix, and saw a fantastic first-day performance out of those. From a low of .85, they ran as high as 1.75, for a single session double-bag rip of 106%

Added Options Notes: Ideas from last week that have yet to make their moves but are still on our watchlist include the TWTR 01/20 $19 and $20 Calls, as well as the ITUB 01/20 $11 Calls. With six weeks remaining until expiration, there’s still plenty of time for these play to display the activity we’re after.


Bottom Watchlist

It’s tax loss selling season as the year’s-end holidays rapidly approach, and that means increased liquidity for many stocks. It’s also a time when we look for the increased activity as a catalyst for bargain basement type plays to see nice moves off of their 52-lows. So here are a handful of stocks trading at or near their annual low points to watch for possible bottom bounces over the next few weeks:

Bravo Multinational, Inc. BRVO

Orbital Tracking Corp. TRKK

Electronic Cigarettes International Group, Inc. ECIG

Propanc Health Group, Inc. PPCH


Extended Watchlist:
MCPI, DIMN, MJPI, PKGM, VAPE

New Options Ideas

After a relatively subdued half-day to close out the short week on Friday, we’re going to wipe the slate and start fresh today with a couple of options ideas. Based off of our initial scans and the premarket activity, we think each of these plays has the potential to help us start the week on a high note.

AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. AU – For this one, we’re attracted to the positioning on the chart, where, as you can see below, the stock has just begun to rebound off of its lowest PPS in roughly 9 months. Add that to some bullish premarket activity, along with a number of ripening indicators, and we’re very interested in the possibilities.

We’re going to be focusing in on the AU 1/20 $11 and $12 Calls, which gives us more than enough time to see the extended recovery we’re looking for.


_____

Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. CTSH – Our interest was roused by CTSH in this morning’s routine scan, and it too is currently in a favorable position on the chart, coupled with an appreciable premarket gap-up which could lead to a strong session performance.

For this one, we’re going to be looking at the CTSH Weekly $57-60 Calls.


Lithium Exploration Group, Inc. LEXG

Here we have another prime bottom-play with LEXG, which has managed to put together a pretty good rebound off of 6-month lows over the past few sessions.

Currently trading at a low multiple around .0025, we’re looking at a stock that ran from similar levels to over .02 back in August. Even a fraction of such a move from current PPS levels would equate to sizable gain opportunities, so we’ll be putting LEXG on watch in the days and weeks ahead.


_____

CollabRx, Inc. RNVA – This one belongs in the bottom-bouncer category as well. RNVA is coming off of its recently established 52-week low, and appears to be geared up for a continued comeback. We’re going to have this one on close watch as well.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: NVDA Review & More

Nvidia Corp. NVDA – Recap
Focusing on NVDA Friday morning on the heels of its earnings beat turned out to be a fantastic idea. It was a great way to cap off a week filled with solid options trading ideas.

The stock itself made an incredible intraday run of nearly 30% and as a result, our specific area of interest, the NVDA Weekly $77-80 Calls, yielded some great chances for huge single-session profits. That included nothing less than 201% and one that even went for a ten bagger!

The potential gains were as follows:

$77 Calls– Range: 2.87-11.55 – Max Gain: 302%
$77.50 Calls – Range: 3.62-10.90 – Max Gain: 201%
$78 Calls – Range: 2.00-10.55 – Max Gain: 427%
$78.50 Calls – Range: 1.33-8.70 – Max Gain: 554%
$79 Calls – Range: 2.04-9.55 – Max Gain: 368%
$79.50 Calls – Range: .81-5.00 – Max Gain: 517%
$80 Calls – Range: .70-8.15 – Max Gain: 1064%

Congrats are due to any of our readers who used our hunch to help bank a piece of these serious profits!

HAR Weekly $100-110 Calls


Cannabis Sector – Video Update

We also want to provide an update on cannabis stocks, which we promised to continue following on the heels of legalization happening in three states last week. We’ve done so in the form of a quick video review of some of the more high profile plays, like MJNA, CBIS, PHOT, GRNH, and NEWC.

After a pullback around election time, pot stocks in general began to gain steam again at the end of the week. We’ll be watching carefully for the recording of higher lows and higher highs across the board.

Primero Mining Corp. PPP

We also want to take heed of a bottom-watch play we’ve identified this morning. PPP reached new 52-week lows on Friday, after a disappointing earnings release earlier in the week sent the stock into a tailspin.

We’re always looking for bargains, and to find one in a gold play in the midst of a solid run-up for the precious metal, has the potential to be especially fortuitous. As a quick glance on the chart below will show, the stock is presently heavily oversold and searching for an ultimate low here. We’ll want to be ready to strike when the reversal occurs.
