Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Review & More

Options Updates

Under Armour, Inc. UA – On Thursday, we signaled interest in the UA Weekly $45-48 Calls and as you may recall, on that day we were provided the chance at gains spanning from 42-186% from contracts within the range. We mentioned the following morning that we expected to see further moves out of them. Our assumption proved accurate.

Multi-bag intraday gains were there for the taking, and the trading ranges in some cases exceeded any of the big gains we’d seen on Thursday by a wide margin: 

$45 Calls – Trading Range: .87-2.05 – Max Gain: 136%
$45.50 Calls – Trading Range: .54-1.54 – Max Gain: 185%
$46 Calls– Trading Range:  .20-1.10  – Max Gain: 450%
$46.50 Calls – Trading Range: .10-.57 – Max Gain: 470%
$47 Calls – Trading Range: .02-.20 – Max Gain: 900%

______

Bank of America Corp. BAC  – We were also targeting BAC options last week, namely the BAC 07/15 $15 Calls which we signaled for observation on Wednesday morning. That day we witnessed a low of .51 in those calls, and the performance was quite respectable for the remainder of the week, culminating in a high of .85 on Friday.

We’re going to want to leave this play on our radar, with so much time remaining until their expiration, we may yet see further opportunities arise.

Lithium Corp. LTUM

We also want to make a quick mention of LTUM, which appeared on our watchlist on Friday, and subsequently made a notable move.  The stock traded in a range from .10-.1349, for gains approaching 35%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options, MHRC Updates & More

Magnum Hunter Resources, Inc. MHRC

We’ll kick things off this morning by updating everyone as to the status of MHRC, which we placed in Monday’s premarket report as a bottom-watch play. We really couldn’t have timed our alert any better, and after registering a low of .021 Monday, the stock has made continuous progression throughout the week.

Yesterday, after seeing a low of .0257, MHRC ran as high as .0337, marking an intraday move of 31% As measured from our observed low on Monday, yesterday’s high represents a three-session swing of 60%

We’ll continue to remain interested in MHRC in sessions to come provided it continues to establish higher lows as it has been doing. As we’ve pointed out on the following chart snapshot, a number of factors lead us to believe that upside potential remains high with this play. The stock was beaten back vigorously earlier this month, and there are even a couple of gaps to fill on the chart.

Options Updates

We’d now like to update our readers on our options ideas from Tuesday, which included targets in the WMT and HD chains- Yesterday we stated our belief that action in WMT and HD stocks could provide options traders with further opportunities for swing trades and as it happened, we were right. 

Walmart-Stores Inc. WMT – For WMT the bullish run continued, and some of the contracts we were observing recorded substantial intraday moves. Possible gains ranged from the $58 Weekly Calls, which traded in a range from 1.81-3.06, allowing for gains of up to 69%, to the $60’s which ran from .26 to 1.16 for a huge 316% rip.

___

The Home Depot, Inc HD executed a textbook dip-and-rip rallying into the close, and all of the contracts we originally signaled made big swings:

$123 Calls – Trading Range: 2.10-3.55  – Max Gain: 69%
$124 Calls – Trading Range: 1.30-2.55  – Max Gain: 96%
$125 Calls – Trading Range: .72-1.73 – Max Gain: 140%
$126 Calls – Trading Range: .33-.99 – Max Gain: 200%

Wednesday’s Other Notable Moves

In addition to the preceding plays, the following pair also made some solid intraday pushes after appearing in our morning report:

Axion Power International, Inc. AXPW turned in a nice intraday performance as it ran from a low of 1.10 to 1.60, for gains of up to 45% on nearly ten times its 30-day average volume.

Advanced Defense Technologies, Inc. ADCF ultimately ended taking a pounding into the close, but before that happened, it made a noteworthy pop straight out of the starting gate, running 39% from .0079 to .011.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Recapping Tuesday’s Epic Session & More

Premier Biomedical, Inc. BIEI

First up this morning is a review of the eye-popping performance of BIEI so far this week. We included it in Monday’s premarket report and the stock ran 180% intraday from .003-.0084 during that session. After a strong close which we felt qualified it a prime momentum-play candidate, we reiterated our interest yesterday morning. BIEI rewarded us yet again!

From the previous day’s closing price of .0077, we witnessed the stock explode to a daily high of .0329, an excellent intraday move of 327% From Monday’s low of .003, the high represents a swing of 997% That puts BIEI just shy of ten-bagger status in a period of only two sessions!

Big cheers go out to any of our readers who were able to take advantage of this play.

VIDEO RECAP:

We’ve prepared a video chart this morning to go over the stellar performance of not only BIEI, but also a couple of other stocks that have recently appeared in our reports that had some nice moves of their own. Lithium Exploration group Inc. LEXG (.096-.19, +98%) and Pleasant Kids, Inc. PLKD (.12-.185, +54%) had both already provided us with huge opportunities heading into yesterday, and both added to those performances in a big way. View this quick video for the full breakdown:

Options Recap

We formulated some options ideas to include in yesterday’s report, and as has become a regular occurrence for us in the options-trading arena, they all went absolutely haywire!

Walmart-Stores Inc. WMT and The Home Depot, Inc HD,were both running on earnings in the premarket and as a result, we called out our interest in WMT Weekly $58-60 Calls and HD Weekly $123-126 Calls. It wouldn’t have mattered which strike prices were chosen by traders, big profits were possible in every single case:

WMT Weeklies
$58 Calls – Trading Range: 1.43-2.90 – Max Gain: 113%
$58.50 Calls – Trading Range: 1.06-2.41 – Max Gain: 127%
$59 Calls – Trading Range: .70-1.96 – Max Gain: 180%
$59.50 Calls – Trading Range: .45-1.50 – Max Gain: 233%
$60 Calls – Trading Range: .25-1.08 – Max Gain: 332%

HD Weeklies
$123 Calls – Trading Range: 1.20-3.36  – Max Gain: 180%
$124 Calls – Trading Range: .82-2.56  – Max Gain: 212%
$125 Calls – Trading Range: .46-1.78 – Max Gain: 287%
$126 Calls – Trading Range: .25-1.05 – Max Gain: 320%

It wasn’t our first spot-on set of options calls that led to chances for epic profits, and you can rest assured that it won’t be our last. For now, both of these options chains could provide us with even further opportunities, although we may need to look at rolling our strike prices up to stay close to the money. Especially in the case of HD, the $127 and possibly $128 Calls may see heavy action; the stock is gapping up again this morning as sector rival Lowes beat on earnings today as well.
