Good Movers, Friday’s Fresh Plays

Wrapping Up Another Strong Trading Week:

With the high volume of earnings reporters this week, we have been arming ourselves and our readers with some rather solid options ideas. All but one of the five options ideas we signaled in Thursday’s premarket report ended up returning good opportunities to turn a quick profit. The markets themselves had a bit of a mixed session, appearing strong in the early goings before petering out prior to lunch hour and sliding into the close.

That didn’t stop most of our ideas from putting forth some very nice intraday performances for us. The winning contract sets we were tracking were the SPY 10/28 $386-383 Puts, the HON Weekly $195-200 Calls, the SHEL 11/18 $55-57.50 Calls, and the NVDA Weekly $133-135 Calls, and these were the potential profits that presented themselves therein:

SPY 10/28 $386-383 Puts
$386:
 3.39-10.00 (+195%)
$385: 2.87-9.26 (+223%)
$384: 2.81-8.44 (+200%)
$383: 2.02-7.59 (+276%)

HON Weekly $195-200 Calls
$195:
 1.00-4.79 (+379%)
$197.50: .55-2.65 (+381%)
$200: .20-1.28 (+540%)

SHEL 11/18 $55-57.50 Calls
$55: 1.90-2.68 (+41%)
$57.50: .75-1.30 (+73%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Updates, BLTA Recap & More

Shire plc SHPG – Options Update

Yesterday morning, we focused in upon a range of options contracts in the SHPG chain, and the headliner from that group turned out to be the SHPG Weekly $180 Calls. The stock itself made a run from around midday into the close and exceeded the $180-mark, facilitating a double-bag intraday move out of those contracts.

The $180’s soared from a low of 1.76, running as high as 4.26 for a highly respectable single-session pop of  142% 

SHPG is gapping up in the premarket this morning, so we’re going to let it remain a point of focus for us today. We’ll be on the lookout for the possibility of another dip-and-rip formation, and as the situation may dictate, roll up our strike price to the $185-level.


 Baltia Airlines, Inc. BLTA

BLTA was an item from yesterday morning’s premarket watchlist, and despite getting off to a slow start, the stock actually made a solid intraday move that offered up the chance at appreciable gains.

We observed the stock’s daily low come in at .0017 before seeing a bounce take it to .0027, which amounted to a solid 59% swing. As you can see from the following chart snapshot, there are a number of indicators which suggest some upside potential still remains. We’ll want BLTA to maintain support in the highlighted channel in order to hold our attention.


Fresh Options Idea – Wells Fargo & Company

WFC has put together a couple of solid sessions this week to rebound off of a recent relative bottom, and appears to be setting up for another one today as it gaps up in the premarket.

Not only has it just received an analyst upgrade, but the company will report Q4 earnings on Friday morning prior to the opening bell. We’ll look to take advantage of the wave of anticipation and possibly see some nice activity in the WFC 02/12 $52-54 Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SWHC, AHIX Recaps & More

Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. SWHC – Options Update

Chances for multi-bag gains from our multitude of options trading ideas became downright commonplace in 2015, and our very first options idea of 2016 held to that standard quite nicely.

We cited a couple of reasons behind our logic in signaling the SWHC $24-26 Calls
for observation in yesterday’s premarket report, and were rewarded with generous moves in every set of contracts in that range:

$24 Calls – Trading Range: 1.55-2.70  – Max Gain: 74%
$25 Calls – Trading Range: .88-1.90 – Max Gain: 116%
$26 Calls – Trading Range: .46-1.20  – Max Gain: 161%

In addition to these primary gains that were made possible by the trading action in SWHC, each set underwent dip-and-rip scenarios over the course of the day, and ancillary profits were possible in each case.

Rest assured that this winning selection in the SWHC chain was only the first of many quick-strike options opportunities we’ll provide via our reports in the new year so stay closely tuned!


Aluf Holdings, Inc. AHIX

AHIX was the big gainer from yesterday’s premarket report on the stock side of things. Although it both started and finished in subpenny territory, in the interim the stock made a solid journey into Pennyland as it ran from a daily low of .0031 on up to .0117. That equals an intraday rip of 277% on big volume on the order of nearly 7X the 1-month average.

The PPS did taper back toward the end of the day, but maintained a good majority of the advances we observed into a close at .0084. Between that and the heightened volume, we’ll need to keep a slot on our radar screens reserved for AHIX.


Carolco Pictures, Inc. CRCO

CRCO is a stock we’ve had on our radar since mid-December, and has also been a topic of discussion in our daily trader’s chats. In fact, one of our chat members that has a propensity for signaling winners (known to our readers as DJ) made sure everyone turned their attentions back to CRCO Monday afternoon, in plenty of time to catch its huge upward move.

Monday’s low came in at .0011, and yesterday, the stock soared to an amazing new high of .0054; a two-session swing of 391%

We felt that CRCO served as yet another stark reminder that participation in our daily chats offers a higher frequency of opportunities than reading our morning reports alone. We encourage all interested parties to get involved. For the time being, all it takes is a Skype contact request sent to ‘stocksumo‘.
