Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Friday’s Huge Session & More

SharkReach, Inc. SHRK

Our Thursday morning we presented SHRK as a momentum play and were met with one heck of an opportunity as the stock managed to make an intraday swing of 120% from .30-.66 that afternoon on exceedingly heavy volume.

We reinforced our interest in continuing to track the stock on Friday morning, provided it maintained a higher base level of support, and for the second straight day, SHRK came through for us despite choppy market conditions.

We witnessed a run from .62-.85 for a solid 37% swing, and from Thursday’s observed low, it marked a two-day move of 183% Cheers are in order for anyone who has followed SHRK along with us. With another strong close Friday we’ll keep an eye on its activity as we kick off a new trading week.

Facebook, Inc. FB – Options Update

Thursday morning’s report also contained some stellar options ideas as we decided to go bearish on FB. The ranges we highlighted included the Weekly $113-110 Puts and the longer-term ideas of the Feb 19th $109-105 Puts all returned good chances for quick-strike profits.

On Friday we anticipated a second consecutive day of losses for the social media giant, and explicitly stated that “We can expect to see further moves out of these contracts”. Once again our expectations were met precisely as FB continued to tumble, and extended our possible gains to an astonishing level.

Weeklies:

$113 Puts – Trading Range: 1.85-9.60  – Max Gain: 419%
$112 Puts – Trading Range: 1.27-8.79 – Max Gain: 592%
$111 Puts – Trading Range: .93-7.70 – Max Gain: 728%
$110 Puts – Trading Range: .47-6.80  – Max Gain: 1346%

02/19 Expiration:

$109 Calls– Trading Range: 1.98-6.65 – Max Gain: 236%
$108 Calls – Trading Range: 1.67-6.00 – Max Gain: 259%
$107 Calls – Trading Range: 1.27-5.31 – Max Gain: 318%
$106 Calls – Trading Range: .99-4.70 – Max Gain: 375%
$105 Calls – Trading Range: .91-4.10 – Max Gain: 351%

In terms of the February 19th Puts we signaled, we are once again reiterating our interest as we expect the gains to continue piling up as FB looks to be in line for another rough outing. We explain our reasoning for this in the following chart snapshot.

____

As a bonus idea on Friday we also included a wide range of Weekly LNKD Puts ($140-125’s) and every single contract offered up the shot at big single-session profits. They yielded gains running anywhere from 116% to a highly impressive 1671%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPDC Update, Options Ideas & More

Speed Commerce, Inc. SPDC

We tagged SPDC for observation in our premarket report on Friday, and what has followed is two consecutive days of upward momentum.

We observed a low of .018 on Friday morning, and a subsequent high of .0289 for an intraday gain of 61% Then yesterday the stock traded in a range from .0289 to .041, for a 42% intraday rip. All told, SPDC made an total session-over-session swing of 128% since we began tracking the stock.

We’ll continue to do so for the time being- the recovery off of recently recorded annual lows has been rapid, as can be seen on the following chart snapshot. A return to PPS-levels of just a few weeks ago would mean significant gains from the current price, so we’ll have our eyes peeled for the possibility of a continued uptrend.

Fresh Options Ideas

After poring over the earnings calendar from post-market yesterday and this morning, we came across a pair of interesting plays for which we’ll formulate a couple of correlated options ideas.

FirstMerit Corp. FMER

Despite an earnings miss this morning, FMER is flying in premarket trading on concurrent news of a $3.4B buyout/merger with Huntington Bancshares in a deal that will effectively create the state of Ohio’s largest regional bank. We’re going to tag the FMER 02/19 $17.50 and $20 Calls for potential dip-and-rip scenarios.

____

Rambus, Inc. RMBS

Regarding RMBS, we’re seeing a classic earnings-beat gap up to the tune of 7% in early trading today. Better than expected figures were released post-market yesterday, so we’ll be tracking a set of contracts here as well. Specifically, the RMBS 02/19 $12 Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: RAS Update, Options & More

RAIT Financial Trust RAS

RAS was a point of focus in yesterday’s premarket report. We highlighted it as a stock that had been hammered back for the better part of the past two months, which was long overdue for a rebound.

Timing just doesn’t get any better, with RAS having just registered a brand new 52-week low in the previous session, the reversal we were after occurred as the stock traded in a daily range from a low of 2.30 on up to 2.57. While only a modest 12% increase, we’ll be very interested to continue monitoring RAS in impending sessions. The stock closed just a few pennies below the HOD on roughly 4.5X the 3-month average volume.

We’ll look for RAS to keep logging higher lows and establish a sustained recovery, and remember, there’s a gap on the chart beginning at around 3.15, the filling of which would put the price back at $4.

New Options Idea – The Walt Disney Co. DIS

There’s an unusual amount of excitement surrounding Disney this week, with Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the seventh movie in the Star Wars franchise set to hit theaters on Friday.

Add in the recent revelation that Alibaba (BABA) has teamed up with the company to distribute Disney films in China through a new device called DisneyLife, and we’re very interested in the potential activity these events could fuel in the DIS options chain.

As a result, we want to track contracts in the range of Weekly DIS $112-116 Calls for quick-strike chances, to try and take advantage of the current excitement. The stock is gapping up significantly in the premarket, so we’ll be on the lookout for an early dip-and-rip.
