Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPY Options & More

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust – SPY

We’re projecting a solid day for the markets as a whole to close out the week as positive jobs numbers just hit, and usually in these cases, we like to use the SPY to get in on the action in the short term. We’re going to designate the SPY Weekly $247-248.50 Calls* as our contracts of interest.

Not only did hiring stay strong while jobless claims fell , but non-farm payroll gains exceeded expectations by a considerable margin, foreshadowing strength in US labor. To boot, the June Trade Balance figures came in and roughly $1.3B was shaved off of the expected trade deficit. All in all, these are several contributing factors that could certainly energize today’s session, and produce considerable intraday gain opportunities in our highlighted options.

GoPro, Inc. GPRO

While we’re thinking of potential quick-strike options plays, we’ve got to take a look at GPRO, which is gapping up in the premarket this morning on the heels of its Q2 earnings beat, and strong outlook. We’ve been familiar with GRPO options in the past, although it has been quite some time.

Prior to these bolstered figures as well as an analyst upgrade from Morgan Stanley this week, GPRO shares had been somewhat stuck in the mud for most of the summer so far. An extended rebound could be in the cards, but for now, we’ll just track today’s activity on the GPRO Weekly $9-10 Calls*.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SRMX Explodes & More

SkyFidelity Inc. SRMX – Recap

Although the dog days of summer made July a fairly subdued month, August has started off pretty well so far, with our first multi-bag gainer showing up in the form of SRMX. We included it in our premarket report yesterday morning after catching the PR the company released on a routine news scan, and were happy that we did.

SRMX, after releasing news of a potentially disruptive new product, went absolutely haywire, trading in an incredible range from .0043 all the way up to .024. That worked out to a fantastic single-session pop of 458%

SkyFidelity, Inc.’s (OTC: SRMX) subsidiary Tri Cascade, Inc., an Internet of Things (IoT) technology company, has created a 4G/LTE Gateway Hub that provides consumers with the ability to access the internet directly from a SIM-based 4G/LTE Super Router called the SkiQ. The Company has designed this innovative communication device that will disrupt the traditional communications hardware industry, making routers, modems, satellite dishes, set-top boxes and media boxes obsolete.

Lumber Liquidators Holdings Inc. LL

The options idea we submitted on LL earlier this week has made some decent progress that we wanted to report back to our readers this morning.

The stock has strung together two bullish sessions since then which has facilitated the following moves in our highlighted target contracts, the LL Weekly $27.50-29.50 Calls. The listed lows were logged on Tuesday, and highs recorded yesterday.

$27.50 Calls – Range: 3.00-8.54 – Max Gain: 185%
$28 Calls – Range: 2.30-7.79 – Max Gain: 239%
$28.50 Calls – Range: 3.36-7.32 – Max Gain: 118%
$29 Calls – Range: 2.00-6.75 – Max Gain: 237%

Strategic Global Investments, Inc. STBV

We also put STBV on our radar yesterday morning and it too produced a positive move on the day. From its low of .0731 the stock ran as high as .145, an intraday rip of 98% which came on more than nine times the monthly average volume.

We’ll continue to keep an eye on STBV which is at multi-year highs and firmly in blue sky breakout territory.

Medical Transcription Billing Corp. MTBC

We also want to circle back to MTBC, which we’ve been tracking since the morning of July 17th. Shortly thereafter the stock saw a low of 1.08 and it hasn’t looked back.Yesterday it reached a new high of 2.39, which marks a 121% run through a period of just over two weeks. We’ll continue to stay on its track, as the company just posted a solid quarterly report which included a 55% boost in revenue.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AAPL Options & More

Lumber Liquidators Holdings Inc. LL – Recap

Although LL did gap up a lot higher than expected to start the session, and larger gains would have been available at higher strike prices closer to the money, but most of our listed targets, the LL Weekly $27.50-29.50 Calls, still managed to see some solid intraday moves.

Those potential gains, including a double-bagger by the $28’s, were as follows:

$27.50 Calls – Range: 3.00-5.50 – Max Gain: 83%
$28 Calls – Range: 2.30-5.00 – Max Gain: 117%
$28.50 Calls – Range: 3.36-4.27 – Max Gain: 27%
$29 Calls – Range: 2.00-3.70 – Max Gain: 85%

Apple, Inc. AAPL

With AAPL breaking out to new all-time highs in the premarket this morning, after a strong earnings report was more than enough to assuage any concerns about lagging iPhone sales, we’re going to want to try to get in on the fun.

AAPL is gearing up to the point that it may also drive the DOW to the 22,000 level, causing a cascading effect that should make for an interesting week for traders across the board.

As for us, we’re going to be tracking the AAPL Weekly $155-162.50 Calls on the heels of this premarket mega-push that has thus far yielded a high of $160 on the nose.

Amarin Corp plc AMRN

We also want to take note of AMRN, which recently took a fair beating on the chart, and is showing clear signs of a reversal.

We also want to signal some calls in that options chain as well as watching the stock itself. The AMRN Weekly $4 Calls will be the options we put on our radar.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MBRX Update & More

Lumber Liquidators Holdings Inc. LL

LL is gapping up heavily in the premarket this morning, and we want to look to take advantage of the increased volatility.

With the stock trading up into the $30-range, we’re going to be looking for a possible dip and rip setup as the session kicks off. We’ll look for LL to come down off these premarket highs before ramping back up, and our targets are going to be the LL Weekly $27.50-29.50 Calls.

Moleculin Biotech, Inc. MBRX

A lot of our regular readers will remember the excellent run we witnessed in MBRX not too long ago, after signaling interest in the stock back on the morning of June 21st. It went on to run from .96 all the way up to 3.75, which was followed by a precipitous decline back to the 1.30’s.

We re-alerted on MBRX on July 18th as it began to cycle up for another run, and the upswing it has put together over the past couple of weeks has been nearly as impressive as the first major run. The stock has run from 1.83 back up to the 3.00-mark yesterday, so we’re really going to want to be on the lookout for it to test that previous swing high if it can continue on its bullish pattern.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Ideas

Fresh Options Ideas

We’re going to start off the new trading week by identifying a couple of options ideas we’re seeing based on the chart setups of Under Armour Inc. (UAA) and CSX Corp (CSX).

In both cases, the stocks have been on a bit of a backslide, but went on to record bullish sessions on Friday. We’re going to look for confirmed reversals on both of these, and be ready with some options ideas if they can establish more sustained rebounds. On each chart, there are gaps to the upside, which is another thing we look for.

For Under Armour, which is giving off a strong multiple-bottom signal, we’re going to track the UAA 09/01 $17-19 Calls, and for CSX Railroads, we’ll want to look after the CSX 09/01 $51-53 Calls.

ImmunoGen Inc. IMGN

We also want to keep IMGN on our radars as we kick things off this week. We signaled it in Friday’s premarket report and it had a modest yet solid session on the heels of an earnings beat. We saw a low of 6.29, and this morning in early trading the stock has reached a high of 7.41. While that’s only an 18% rise at the moment, we’ll want to keep an eye peeled for another bullish session.
