We published a light newsletter yesterday morning containing just one specific idea, which was the COP Weekly $61-62.50 Calls. Fortunately, when you come up a solid plays like these, one is all you need!

New Relic Inc. NEWR – Fresh Idea

We also want to bring NEWR into the mix today with a longer-term recovery idea. The stock has not only been bouncing off of recent lows, but we’ve also got some Form-4 activity at these low levels.

We’ll watch NEWR in the weeks and perhaps even months ahead, using the NEWR
12/20 $60-65 Calls
as our potential vehicle.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: COP Options Idea

ConocoPhillips COP – Options Idea

We’re running a little light this morning as we pick up for a new trading week, with no interesting earnings plays to fall back on. However, in our morning scan, we’ve picked up on an interesting play with energy giant ConocoPhillips.

The stock has been in a bullish pattern for most of the month so far, and this morning, we’re seeing a lot of oil plays bucking the trend of the overall markets, which appear to be bearish at the moment. We’re going to place a range of weekly options on watch this morning to coincide with the activity that’s currently unfolding.

Our targets of interest are going to be the COP Weekly $61-62.50 Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Plays

MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. MCFT – Fresh Idea

We’ve picked up on a very interesting chart shape in Mastercraft this morning. The stock was well on its way to a solid recovery after bouncing off of its bottom at the end of last month. Despite the company’s earnings beat yesterday, the stock saw a gap-down followed by another bottom bounce.

We are interested in tracking the MCFT 10/18 $15-17.50 Calls in the weeks ahead, which will work out quite nicely if the stock manages another rebound similar to the one it exhibited in recent weeks.


Overstock.com Inc OSTK – Recap

The last time we tagged OSTK was a couple of weeks ago, on the morning of August 27th. We had scored some solid opportunities with short-term options in its chain the week before, but that report was a simple tag on the stock itself.

Subsequent to that highlight of OSTK, the stock saw a low of 14.72. That was followed by seven consecutive bull sessions by the stock, including yesterday’s which sent OSTK to a new high 27.38. That works out to an upswing of 86% in the month of September alone.


Fresh Options Idea:
SPY Weekly $301-302.50 Calls*

*Never trade weekly options on a Friday unless you are an advanced level trader with access to disposable funds!
