SPY Calls, Special Announcement

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

We have made the decision to postpone further daily reports until the new year. With no earnings reporters next week, and not much excitement expected, we’re just going to shut things down until 2026. We wish all of our readers a Happy New Year, and we’ll see you all then!



Wednesday’s Performance:

We closed out the lengthier portion of the short trading week on Wednesday in good fashion, with a set of four potential options trades in our premarket report for that morning. We were pretty well on-form with the kinds of intraday moves those plays provided, which were quite solid.

We had tagged the SPY 12/24 $688 Calls, the TSM Weekly $297.50 Calls, the PLD Weekly 01/16 $130 Calls and the AGIO 01/16 $25 Calls for observation, and here were the results from that half-session:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Tuesday’s Winning Calls & More

Bottom Watchlist Updates

We rooted out three fresh bottom-bounce plays in yesterday’s premarket report, and got the continuing rebound action we were looking for in all three cases. The performance was enough to keep their spots on our radar for the time being.

Dynavax Technologies Corp. DVAX – To go along with the stock’s rebound (13.13-14.42, +10%), we formulated an options trading idea for the DVAX chain and those plays worked out very well. The DVAX 09/16 $12 and $13 Calls were our target contracts and both offered up the chance at some rapid intraday gains.

The $12’s made their way from a low of 1.40 up to 2.68 for a 91% push, and the $13’s far exceeded that with a move from .70 to 3.61. That was good for a multi-bag rip on the order of 416%
______

ITT Educational Services, Inc. ESI – This one made a good, solid move to reinforce our idea that the stock was due for a nice rally. ESI traded in a range from .30-.48 on the day, representing a shot at single-session gains of up to 60%
______

Eldorado Gold Corp. EGO– This one didn’t make a monstrous move, trading up from a low 3.48-3.71 (+7%), but it did maintain the majority of its advance. Our interest remains as long as the pattern of higher highs and higher lows is sustained.


Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. NAVB

The bottom-watchlist plays weren’t the only calls from yesterday’s report to go our way. The first in a pair of nice gainers off of our extended watchlist was NAVB. The stock traded up from an early low of .50, and made a 68% move en route to the high at .84.

The stock closed strong, just a few cents below the high at .8047 so we will want to continue monitoring it for signs of continued momentum.


Signal Bay Inc. SGBY

SGBY was the other runner from the watchlist, which included an intraday run from a penny up to .0159, a 59% pop. With a strong close at .0149, this play will remain on our list of interests as well.
