Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Review


Options Review

We dedicated yesterday’s premarket newsletters to our Special Report, so we wanted to circle back this morning to go over a couple of options ideas we submitted to our readers on Tuesday morning.

We had identified plays in the ULTA and MKC options chains following a Form-4 Alert and an earnings report, respectively, and in both cases we met with fantastic multi-bag gain opportunities. Here were the total possible profits on the table:

ULTA 11/01 $260-265 Calls
$260 Calls – Range: 4.00-13.30 – Max Gain: 233%
$262.50 Calls – Range: 2.60-12.50 – Max Gain: 381%
$265 Calls – Range: 2.80-11.25 – Max Gain: 302%

MKC Weekly $155-160 Calls

$155 Calls – Range: 5.58-13.58 – Max Gain: 143%
$160 Calls – Range: 2.82-9.12 – Max Gain: 223%

Fresh Options Idea:
PEP Weekly $134-136 Calls 



American Renal Associates Holdings, Inc. ARA

We also want to place ARA on watch as a possible bottom bounce play. The stock has never been much lower than where it’s currently trading, has a recently history of sharp spikes, and indications that a significant rebound could be on the way. We’ll keep an eye peeled for such activity over the next several sessions.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: EXCLUSIVE AMPG INTERVIEW

AmpliTech Group, Inc. AMPG

We’ve been keeping track of AMPG for ten weeks now, and not only did the stock make a run from .043 to .084 during that time, but it has managed to hold more than half of those gains upon consolidation, and has held firm in the .065-.075 area.

For a company that, for the time being, is rather small in size, AmpliTech has serviced some big accounts in both the government and private sectors. The company’s RF signal amplifiers are top of the line in terms of noise reduction effectiveness, and AMPG exhibited its wares at a recent high profile conference.

We were pleased to attend the 2019 International Microwave Symposium in Boston, Massachusetts last week, where we got the opportunity to sit down and conduct a face-to-face interview with Fawad Maqbool, the CEO of AmpliTech. We highly recommend that you take a few moments to check it out.

RH, Inc. RH – Recap

Our bearish options trading idea from yesterday’s report turned out to be our bigger winner for the day. We selected the  RH Weekly $120-118 Puts even after the company posted a solid beat on Q1 earnings and raised guidance.

It might have seemed like a counter-intuitive choice to some, but we had good reason. The stock was gapping up way too high in the premarket. We predicted that it would fall after the open, and it turned out to be the right hunch.

The following intraday gains were made possible by our idea:

RH Weekly $120-118 Puts
$120 Puts: 3.80-8.40 (+121%)
$119 Puts: 3.90-6.75 (+73%)
$118 Puts: 3.00-6.29 (+110%)

Fresh Options Idea:
AVGO Weekly $252.50-257.50 Calls

Important: DO NOT attempt to trade options contracts with a weekly expiration on a Friday unless you are an advanced level trader with access to disposable funds.
