Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AAPL Options & More

Apple, Inc. AAPL

Our more seasoned readers will remember a time when we almost exclusively talked about microcaps trading on the OTC, but a few years ago, we decided to go to where the real money was, and have since focused primarily on quick-strike options trading opportunities. It was with AAPL that we got our sea legs in options trading, and it has been a heck of a ride since.

We’re coming back to AAPL once again to use the spike in trading activity associated with the company’s Q3 earnings beat to try to score some nice gains. The stock is gapping up into blue skies here in the premarket after rising to record high valuation, just a stone’s throw from a TRILLION dollar market cap!

We’re going to be monitoring the AAPL Weekly $195-200 Calls to try to score some nice chances this midweek.

SodaStream International, Inc. SODA

Speaking of earnings beats, SodaStream just reported on its Q2 figures, and is shining in the premarket on the heels of a strong showing and boosted guidance for the future.

We’ll look to take advantage of this situation as well, by earmarking the SODA Weekly $99-105 Calls for observation this morning.

Whirlpool Corp WHR

On Friday, we selected a range of options in the Whirlpool chain, the 08/03 $129-131 Calls, and we wanted to swing back around this morning in order to go over the success we had with those plays.
.
In just a few days time, each set of contracts has made considerable multi-bag moves, which have been as follows:

$129 Calls – Range: .96-2.05 – Max Gain: 114%
$130 Calls – Range: .68-2.20 – Max Gain: 224%
$131 Calls – Range: .55-1.27 – Max Gain: 131%

Judging by the activity thus far, we’re going to want to continue to stay on top of these calls for the remainder of the week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SIG Recap, AXON & More

Signet Jewelers Ltd. SIG – Options Idea

After noticing its solid beat on earnings and reassured guidance yesterday morning in the premarket, we selected a range of options ideas for the SIG chain. Post-earnings options calls have become our bread and butter, and SIG provided yet another example of the reason for that.

Our designated observation range was the SIG Weekly $47.50-50 Calls and all but the 49.50’s enjoyed considerable single-session gains for the day.

$47.50 Calls – Range: 3.70-6.30 – Max Gain: 70%
$48 Calls – Range: 3.21-7.12 – Max Gain: 122%
$48.50 Calls – Range: 3.10-6.00 – Max Gain: 94%
$49 Calls – Range: 2.72-6.17 – Max Gain: 127%
$50 Calls – Range: 1.97-5.21 – Max Gain: 164%

Fresh Options Idea:
Five Below, Inc. FIVE Weekly $90-95 Calls

Axovant Sciences, Inc. AXON

We also included a tag of AXON in yesterday morning’s report, and were met with a pretty good chance for a daily profit there as well. We noticed a slew of Form-4 buys come in on Tuesday, and lo and behold, yesterday the company released news of an $840M+ licensing deal for its Parkinson’s gene therapy.

From a morning low of 3.27, the stock reached a high of 4.64, representing a modest, but very respectable 42% move on the day. We’ll be sure to leave it on our radar in the event that a more sustained move is in the cards.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: GW Pharma & More

Eagle Bancorp, Inc. EGBN

After realizing that EGBN had been the target of dishonest short-seller tactics, we tagged some options ideas on the morning of December 5th – the EGBN 12/15 $50-60 Calls. The stock had been absolutely hammered in the previous session.

We saw some really nice moves from those contracts when EGBN immediately began to rebound ranging from 73-200% The stock dealt with some resistance over the later portion of last week and into this Monday, but managed to continue its recovery and go on to set another new high yesterday.

That produced another opportunity in a couple of the contracts we highlighted, with the $55 Calls trading from 1.20-4.40 for a 267% swing, and the $60’s exploding for a 600% rip from .10 to .70.

GW Pharmaceuticals plc GWPH
.
We’re looking at a familiar cannabis stock in GWPH this morning as the company is receiving some positive attention over its announcement that it had reacquired the rights to develop Sativex, a 1:1 THC/CBD extract blend oral spray product.

The stock is seeing some bullish premarket activity, and we’re going to signal a pair of corresponding quick strike options calls. We’ll be looking for a dip and rip scenario, and tracking the relation activity in the GWPH Weekly $125 & $130 Calls.
