Tiffany & Co. TIF – Options Recap

Today we’d like to swing back to an idea that we submitted in our report on Tuesday morning, which turned out to be the hottest intraweek runner we’ve had in awhile. We signaled our interest in tracking the TIF Weekly $80-83 Calls, and not only did every set of contracts in that range produce multi-bag gains, a couple of them turned out to be 30-BAGGERS!

To put a 30X run into perspective, a initial $250 position would, at its peak, have risen to a cool $7500 in just a couple days! Also note that we were unable to bring up the chart for the $81 Calls, but those undoubtedly made similar moves as the rest, which performed as follows:

$80 Calls – Range: .86-4.70 – Max Gain: 446%
$80.50 Calls – Range: .70-4.35 – Max Gain: 521%
$81.50 Calls – Range: .34-3.00 – Max Gain: 782%
$82 Calls – Range: .09-2.80 – Max Gain: 3011%
$82.50 Calls – Range: .15-2.40 – Max Gain: 1500%
$83 Calls – Range: .08-2.60 – Max Gain: 3150%

We were mentioning how much we love post-earnings options trading, and this week TIF served as a prime example of the reasoning behind that.

ULTA Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc. ULTA – Fresh Idea

We also have another earnings-related options idea to monitor today. ULTA posted solid figures today sufficient to fuel a premarket push, and we want to be waiting with an idea to correspond with a possible bullish trend continuing through the session. That’ll be the ULTA Weekly $267.50-272.50 Calls, but please remember, trading weekly options on a Friday is only for the most advanced traders!

Bonus Idea: Big Lots, Inc. BIG Weekly $47.50-52.50 Calls

Agora Holdings, Inc. AGHI

We were outlining AGHI’s search for a bottom in yesterday’s morning report, and in addition to finding some support on the chart as we hoped it would, we’d like to point out a PR published by the company this morning.

It goes into greater detail with respect to the company’s ‘FRAME’ social media management platform, which it plans to offer free to the public for non-commercial use.

TORONTO, ON–(Marketwired – Dec 2, 2016) – Agora Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK: AGHI) today issues insight into the various applications of its recently launched FRAME technology, and describes how the platform can simplify and streamline personal branding for individual or business use.
For many social media users — be it corporate brand, small business, celebrity, executives and even presidential candidates — social media has become a method of personal branding. For this reason, it is vitally important to establish and maintain a positive online image.

“The boundary between online and offline branding is disappearing, and FRAME is here to help everyone navigate this new hybrid universe. FRAME is designed to meet the needs of consumers and businesses who use multiple social media websites and platforms on a daily basis by providing a dashboard from which they are all accessible,” says Agora CEO Dan Terziev.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TWTR Options & More

Globus Maritime, Ltd. GLBS

We included GLBS as a part of our extended watchlist yesterday after noticing that the stock had produced a solid session on Tuesday. Our hunch that the run could continue proved to be good, as the stock posted another nice intraday performance.

GLBS traded in a range from a low of 5.122 to a high of 8.769, a move of 71% and it came on more than seven times the monthly average volume. We’ll keep a slot on our watchscreens reserved for GLBS in the event it maintains its upward momentum and strings together a multi-day run.

Agora Holdings, Inc. AGHI

We’ve continued to follow AGHI as it has seen some consolidation over the past few sessions, and the lower it has crept, the more attractive it has begun to look as a bounceplay opportunity.

If you notice on the included chart, the stock has a recent track record of making a serious run-up from current PPS levels. The last time it traded below a dime, that was followed by a huge pop to more than .20. That’s just the kind of rebound we’ll be looking for as the stock searches for support.

Twitter, Inc. TWTR – Options Idea

In conjunction with buyout rumors that have been swirling around Twitter, we happen to like the look of the present chart, and thus we’d like to formulate a corresponding options idea. We’ve had a reasonable amount of success with the TWTR options chain in the past, and current conditions seem favorable enough to signal an extended-term idea today.

We’re going to place the TWTR 01/20 $19 and $20 Calls for the time being, with the added caveat that a buyout actually coming to fruition would very likely necessitate an adjustment to our strike prices.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Earnings-Related Options & More

American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. AEO – Options Idea

Earnings-related options ideas are among some of our favorite plays to track, and that’s what we’ve got here with AEO this morning. American Eagle had a mixed earnings release, satisfying on profit expectations while falling short of on both sales and outlook. Granted that the stock was already looking a bit top-heavy, we’re feeling bearish about this play for the short-term.

To coincide with that instinct, we’re going to signal our interest in a range of puts in the AEO options chain. For possible quick-strike trades, we’re going to be looking at the AEO Weekly $19.50-16.50 Puts.

_____

Splunk, Inc. SPLK – We’ve also got a bullish options idea to bring to the table with SPLK, and this one is earnings-related as well.

The company posted a strong quarterly report yesterday and is surging as a result. In this case we’re going to highlight and track the SPLK Weekly $60.50-62 Calls.

Petrobras Argentina S.A. PZE

While we’ve mentioned Petrobras countless times in our reports in the form of PBR, this marks the first occasion upon which we’re focusing on its Argentinian counterpart. The stock has been getting absolutely hammered of late, and with an OPEC deal seemingly close at hand, oil has begun to run. That’s why we’re going to be tracking this one over an extended time period from this point forward.

Should the production cut go off without a hitch, it sets PZE (as well as other oil stocks) up to regain a good bit of the ground lost in past weeks, so we’ll want to put this one on bottom-watch in the days and weeks ahead.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CSOC, Options & More

Caduceus Software Systems Corp. CSOC

We want to bring CSOC into focus this morning on the heels of a filing that hit wires yesterday alluding to an interesting development at the company. (>>Read Filing)

We’re witnessing CSOC’s entry into the cannabis space, as they have announced their intent to provide SaaS (software as a service) to cannabis growers, and have also registered domain names to facilitate that. ( www.Inventory420.com and www.Inventory420.info)

We’ll be taking up regular monitoring of this play as part of our initiative to keep a close eye on the marijuana market, which just increased in size by a significant margin with the elections earlier this month. That will include keeping our ears to the tracks as we wait for further updates on its plans.

Options Ideas

Itau Unibanco Holdings S.A. ITUB – In addition to reversing off of a recent relative bottom, ITUB is currently showing us a set of favorable-looking circumstances on the chart, as we’ve pointed out on the included snapshot.

We’re going to be tagging a couple of moderate to long-term contracts for this play, namely the ITUB 01/20 and 03/17 $11 Calls.
_____

Tiffany & Co. TIF – Tiffany’s is also on our radar on the heels of its premarket earnings release which showed increases sales and revenues. We want to formulate a short-term idea for the TIF chain, as we’ve done quite successfully in the past.

Our focus here is going to be the TIF Weekly $80-83 Calls for possible daytrades and/or intraweek swing trades.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options, Bottom-Plays & More

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.
