Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CAT Breakout & More

PetMed Express, Inc. PETS

We signaled a longer-term options idea for PETS yesterday which needs some time to ripen, but with the solid move in the stock itself, we figured we’d recap its performance since our initial alert on it six weeks ago.

We caught PETS at a low of 32.90, which makes its 43% run to 46.94 this week that much more impressive. For a thirty-dollar stock to gain more than a third of its value in a matter of just a few weeks, is no small feat.

We’ll continue to keep our selected options, the PETS 11/17 $40-50 Calls on watch over the next few weeks.


Caterpillar, Inc. CAT

Speaking of high dollar stocks that we’ve alerted and then gone on to see impressive gains, we’ve got CAT in our sights again this morning after a solid earnings beat. We’re going to want to highlight some options ideas here as well, but first, let’s talk about the incredible bullish run of Caterpillar this year.

We were talking about this stock back in March, and that same month, the stock traded for as little as 90.34, and has essentially been in a continual uptrend ever since. Measured to this morning’s new premarket high of 141.98, it represents an increase of 57% in just over six months.

As for the options we’ll want to track on the heels of CAT’s earnings beat this morning, we’ll be looking at the CAT Weekly $136-141 Calls.


Atossa Genetics, Inc. ATOS

We’d also like to quickly recap the respectable intraday performance recorded by ATOS following our alert on the stock yesterday morning.

From an early low of .50, ATOS ran to .636 for a solid 27% move which came on more than three times the monthly average volume.

On a side note, the company has also announced that it will hold a conference call tomorrow morning at 10am EDT to discuss preliminary results from the Phase I study of its proprietary oral Endoxifen, an active metabolite of the FDA-approved breast cancer drug tamoxifen. The conference call will be available through a live webcast at www.atossagenetics.com so we’ll be sure to tune in for that.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: BBRY Recap, AEMD & More

Blackberry Ltd. BBRY – Options Review

We were very confident in the options ideas we formulated for BBRY in yesterday’s premarket report, which were the BBRY Weekly $9.50 & $10 Calls.  We pointed to the company’s convincing earnings beat as being the reason we felt a solid move was in order, despite the fact that it had just been hanging around the $9 area without a lot of volatility for the preceding few weeks.

A solid move is exactly what we got, with BBRY stock running from 9.78 to 10.83 on the day. That facilitated some fantastic gain opportunities for anyone who was following along with our ideas, which both produced multi-bag intraday upswings.

The $9.50 Calls traded in a range from .37-1.26 for a gain of 240%, while the $10’s ripped extremely hard from a low of .12 all the way up to .76. That worked out to an increase of 533% marking the second consecutive week where we’ve alerted on an options idea and seen a single-session gain of over 500% (KMX, last Friday).

Important Note: Never trade options with a weekly expiration on a Friday unless you’re an expert trader with disposable funds. It’s extremely risky.


Aethlon Medical, Inc. AEMD

The other top performer from yesterday’s premarket newsletter was AEMD, which, as you can see from the included chart snapshot, we alerted at the absolute perfect time. The stock had practically been in free-fall over the past couple of weeks, and we signaled the bottom with precision.

It traded in a range from 1.18 to 1.70, for a respectable intraday increase of 44% and closed at the high of day. This is a stock that was trading at nearly $4 just this month, and now we’re going to be monitoring to see how much of that ground it can recapture on the rebound. We’ll look for it to establish higher highs and higher lows. If it can manage to crack through the channel between the current 50DMA of 1.75 and September 11th’s swing high of 2.00, things could once again get very interesting for AEMD.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AAPL Review & More

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options Review

We’re now mentioning the calls we made for the Apple options chain on Tuesday for the third consecutive day, after each of our tracked contracts yet again set new highs during yesterday’s session.

To refresh your memory, we slated the AAPL Weekly $150-155 Calls for observation in Tuesday’s premarket report, and they provided solid gain opportunities ranging from 78-146% that day.

Here are the updated figures showing the lows from Tuesday, to the new highs attained yesterday.

$150 Calls – Range: 2.30-4.80 – Max Gain: 109%
$152.50 Calls – Range: 1.00-2.55 – Max Gain: 155%.
$155 Calls – Range: .28-.89 – Max Gain: 218%



Fresh Options Ideas


While we’re on roll with options calls, we might as well let it ride by selecting a couple of other ideas that are worth monitoring.

Tiffany & Co. TIF – Tiffany’s chart is showing a decent bottom setup, while some insider buying was reported this week near 4-month lows. We’re going to highlight the TIF 10/20 $92-93 Calls and keep them on our radars in the days and weeks ahead.

Blackberry Ltd. BBRY – For a more short-term idea, we’re going to signal the BBRY Weekly $9.50 & $10 Calls on the heels of Blackberry’s premarket earning beat. Prior to today, the stock has hovering around a solid level of support at roughly $9 for quite some time, but today’s release could definitely have a positive effect on the chart. The company posted a beat on profits and revenue, while software sales set company records.
