Burlington Stores, Inc. BURL – Options Update

We reported our interest in tracking some BURL options in the wake of a strong earnings report yesterday morning, and signaled the BURL 03/17 $85-95 Calls. Just as we suspected, the boost of momentum from that earnings beat provided the fuel for those contracts to put up some impressive performances on the day.

The possible gains so far, which could be augmented today with another bullish move, were as follows:

$85 Calls – Range: 5.60-10.00 – Max Gain: 79%
$90 Calls – Range: 2.50-5.20 – Max Gain: 1084%
$95 Calls – Range: .71-1.93 – Max Gain: 172%


InterCloud Systems, Inc. ICLD

We also want to continue keeping an eye on ICLD, in which volume has been exploding over the past couple sessions as the stock has rebounded off of its 52-week lows.

The stock traded in a relatively modest range from .0157 to .02 (+27%) yesterday, but closed with strength. Especially with the enormous flow of volume at the present time, we’re definitely interested in tracking ICLD’s movements over the next several sessions.


Fresh Options Ideas:

Big Lots, Inc. BIG –  Big Lots had a mixed bag earnings report today, missing estimates on sales, but beating on profits. Still, it appears as if BIG could be gearing up for a decent run, so we’re going to highlight a range of options to track- the BIG 03/17 $52.50-57.50 Calls.

Caterpillar, Inc. CAT – On a bearish note, things got ugly for Caterpillar yesterday as multiple federal agencies participated in a massive raid of its offices in relation to a years-long IRS investigation into a billion dollar tax discrepancy. CAT stock took a massive gut punch, and could continue to see hardship as more details of the investigation and possible consequences become available. We’ll be tracking the CAT 04/07 $88-85 Puts, which could fare extremely well if it comes down to fill a gap on its chart which we’ve pointed out below.

Blue Horseshoe Wishes You a Happy New Year!

View Systems, Inc. VSYM

We tagged VSYM in yesterday morning’s premarket report and despite an early dip to a low of .0014, the stock made a heck of a bounce in the latter portions of the day.

VSYM ran into the closing bell and ended just a tick below its high-of-day at .0028. It marked an intraday pop of exactly 100% and the move occurred on healthy volume to the tune of just over 2.5X the monthly average.


Chimerix, Inc. CMRX

CMRX grabbed our attention on Monday as we were noticing the massive 75% premarket selloff that was occurring. Failed clinical trials can be damning for a stock, but we felt as if the move was too reactionary and placed it on rebound watch.

Our exact words from Monday’s morning report were: “Knee-jerk selloffs of this magnitude don’t come along every day, but when they have in the past, we’ve almost always seen some measure of a recovery.”

The trading action that has followed certainly validated our assumption about CMRX. The stock has managed to record higher lows every day this week, as it has trended from Monday’s daily low of 6.43 to yesterday’s high of 8.56; a three-day swing amounting to 33%

That figure was extended to 43% as of this morning’s premarket high of 9.19. Based on the activity we’ve tracked to this point, it’s likely that we’ll continue our observation of CMRX into the new year.


Weight Watchers International, Inc. WTW

We’ve made ourselves familiar with WTW ever since the news of Oprah’s involvement with the company hit the wires this fall. We had tremendous success with WTW options at that time, and the stock itself appeared on our premarket watchlist yesterday.

It was a great time re-enter it into the mix as WTW ran from 20.63 to 24.22, marking a 17% move to the upside. We’d consider that quite an impressive single-session advance for $20+ stock.

We also drew attention to the WTW $22 Calls in our live trader’s chat (which are currently free and open to all of our readers*) and those went on to make a stellar performance, running from .40-2.15 (+437%) subsequent to our signal.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Yesterday’s Big Winners & More

 

Lululemon Athletica, Inc. LULU

LULU was our options trading target yesterday as we noticed the stock gapping down more than 10% in the premarket on an ill-received earnings report.

The idea we had was to track each set of contracts within the range of LULU Weekly $47-44.50 Puts for possible intraday swing-trade opportunities. It ultimately turned out to be an awesome call, with blockbuster moves being produced by every single set we’d highlighted.

$47 Puts  – Trading Range:  .19-2.01  – Max Gain: 958%
$46.50 Puts – Trading Range: .13-1.59   – Max Gain: 1123%
$46 Puts  – Trading Range: .09-1.25  – Max Gain: 1288%
$45.50 Puts – Trading Range: .10-.94   – Max Gain: 840%
$45 Puts  – Trading Range: .05-.75  – Max Gain: 1400%
$44.50 Puts – Trading Range: .05-.52   – Max Gain: 940%

Perhaps the most astonishing thing is that single-session gains of this magnitude have become commonplace for our options ideas, as anyone who has followed our reports for awhile can attest. It’s the primary reason behind our shift over the last couple of years as we’ve moved to split our focus between what we like to call quick-strike options trading, and securities trading. The integration of options trading has opened up a lot of doors for us on a consistent basis, and we expect that trend to continue indefinitely.


Premier Biomedical, Inc.  BIEI

We had just finished commenting on the big moves BIEI has been making in yesterday morning’s report, and once again the stock pushed to new highs in what amounted to a very bullish session.

So after witnessing a 121% run from .015-.0334 on Tuesday, we were treated to another big intraday pop as BIEI ran from .0305 to .0529; a solid 73%

We also put together a video illustrating various facets of the BIEI chart:


USA Restaurant Funding, Inc. USAR

USAR was tagged in yesterday’s premarket report on our extended watchlist, and it too produced a significant move on the day, gradually ramping up throughout the course of the afternoon and running into the close.

From a low of .0015 the stock fell just a tick shy of a double-bagger, reaching a new 52-week high of .0029. It marked an intraday performance that allowed maximum gains of up to 93%
