Our Website’s 12th ANNIVERSARY & More

Cheers to 12 YEARS! 

Today marks the TWELFTH anniversary of our decision to take our daily stock (and now, options) newsletter public! We created BlueHorseshoeStocks.com as a way to force accountability onto ourselves in a way that no one else ever has. EVERY single newsletter and special report we’ve released in those 12 years is still right there on the site, as a shining example of both our successes and failures. We’re happy to say we’ve had FAR more of the former than the latter, and we’re proud to bring you our very best each and every day for the last dozen years. We thank each and every one of our loyal followers from the bottom of our hearts! Cheers to all, and happy trading!


Perfect Session on Friday:

We finished out the trading week on Friday in top form, with all of our daily ideas from our premarket report hitting, which completed a week in which just one of the contract sets from just one of our ideas failed to post gains. That’s essentially a perfect week, and we’re pleased to be able to perform so well for our loyal readers.

Our winning plays were the AAPL Weekly $190-185 Puts, the AMZN Weekly $138-141 Calls, the AMGN Weekly $230-232.50 Calls, and the ABNB Weekly $139-137 Puts. Some of the gains that were contained therein were truly impressive, and here’s the breakdown of those numbers:
