Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Recap, ABHI & More

SPY Options Recap

To close out the week on Friday, we floated a set of options ideas for the SPY, noting our immense success doing the same in the prior week. We decided to track the SPY Weekly $199.50-203 Calls.and a couple of the contracts within that range produced multiple intraday swings, giving sharp traders the chance at some tidy profits.

The $201 Calls first traded from .65-1.08 (+66%), and followed that up with subsequent swings from .45-1.05 (+133%) and .14-56 (+300%).

The $201.50‘s were the other set of contracts with the most notable moves. After an initial rip of 79% from .38-.68, there came a dip-and-rip from .24-.68 (183%) followed by a third, from .04-.16 (+300%).


AmbiCom Holdings, Inc. ABHI

Placing ABHI on our extended watchlist on Friday turned out to be a great call. It was the first time we had ever mentioned the stock, which just so happened to be showing signs of life coming off of a recent 52-week low; just the type of play for which we’re constantly searching.

The reason for that was on full display as ABHI dipped back to a low of .0102 before registering a HOD of .015. That was good for an intraday swing of 47%


Homeland Resources, Ltd. HMLA

We began tracking HMLA on Thursday and witnessed a healthy 59% pop from a low of .00189 to .003 which, of course, we mentioned in Friday morning’s report.

On Friday we were treated to an even more impressive spike from the stock, as it extended its highs much further inside of the first 35 minutes of trading. It dipped back only slightly to .0022 and proceeded to shoot like a rocket to a high of .0044. That marked an intraday run of 83% and a two-session swing of 133% over our observed low on Thursday.


Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. ESPR

ESPR is a stock we’ve been familiar with in the past, and for the multiple reasons we’ve pointed out on the following chart snapshot, we’re going to submit some options-trading ideas to correspond with the setup.

We want to radar contracts in the range of ESPR Weekly $26-31 Calls. The stock is gapping up over 15% this morning, partially filling that gap on the chart. It has traded as high as $30 in the premarket.

BOSC, PSUN, ETAK, TGRO & Extended Watchlist

BOS Better Online Solutions Ltd. BOSC

Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. PSUN

& Elephant Talk Communications, Inc. ETAK

Each of these three stocks traded up on unusually high volume on Friday after appearing in our Extended Watchlist, and wrapped up what was a very successful week of trading.

BOSC tapered back from opening above 9.00, and found its bottom at 7.9001. The stock then proceeded to rebound, bouncing back as high 8.80 for a nice 11% intraday gain on more than 10X the 3mo. average volume.

PSUN increased steadily all day on Friday, running from 2.92 to 3.44, good for a gain of 18% on roughly six times the 3mo. average volume.

ETAK saw a low of 1.01 on Friday, and enjoyed a respectable 17% gain to a high of 1.18, besting its average volume by more than 4X.


Tiger Oil & Energy, Inc. TGRO

We caught TGRO on a scan for plays with unusual activity, and thought we’d mention it this morning. This is a stock that was trading by appointment only for quite some time, that has sprung to life all of the sudden.

This comes shortly after a recent press release citing a proposed partnership with Toto Energy, LLC, wherein the two companies would undertake a joint venture of drilling up to three gas wells, in which TGRO would have a 30% interest. >>>More on the Joint Venture

FREE, PHOT, AAPL & Extended Watchlist

FreeSeas, Inc. FREE

Everything we talked about yesterday ended up doing well, beginning with FREE. After opening up at .3723 the stock shot up to a high of .468, a move of 26%. Most importantly it held those gains nicely all the way through the close at .45.

This was right on par with what we had hoped to see from FREE, as it closed above the 50DMA. It seems our timing of the bounce worked in our favor, and moving forward, we’d like to see the stock continue to make higher lows and higher highs. The 10DMA of .49 and the 20DMA of .60 are going to be our next major hurdles to clear.


Growlife, Inc. PHOT

PHOT went on a similarly successful run as well, following yesterday’s morning report. The stock opened up at .0719, and continued to push the envelope all day, reaching its peak at .0899 shortly before 2PM. That marked an intraday gain of 25%, and like FREE, the stock managed to hold a significant portion of those gains into the close (.0847)

That solid performance came on nearly four times the average volume, so we are going to be keeping an eye on this stock for continued momentum.


Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options

The 11/01 $505 and $510 Calls that we had been tracking would hit their highs early on in the session before AAPL began pulling back from its big gap-up. The $505’s touched an ultimate high of 29.70 (Original alert in the $12-range) while the $510’s reached their peak at 26.44 (1st alerted at $10).

Both sets of contracts offered the chance to gain over 100% At that point, any good trader is taking profits off of the table and chalking it up as a win. Between now and when AAPL releases earnings on the 28th, we’ll be looking to move our strike price closer to the money, and continue to take advantage of this cash cow any way that we can.
