Blue Horseshoe Stock: INSE Update & More

Inspired Entertainment Inc. INSE – Update

Yesterday morning, we placed INSE on recovery watch in the wake of its quarterly reporting. We cited the attractive bottom-bounce that was in effect as the markets had tanked the previous day and INSE managed to buck that trend.

Our instincts about this play turned out to be very good, with the stock piling on yet another very solid trading session. The stock’s low came in right at the opening price of 3.86 and it never looked back. INSE ran up to 5.23, representing a respectable single-session rise of 35%

It also closed just three cents lower than the high of day, setting us up to see if the stock can continue to build upon the momentum it has thus far exhibited.


DSW, Inc. DSW

We’d also like to formulate a fresh options idea for the DSW chain, after noticing an attractive chart setup. The stock has been trading at its lowest PPS since May, which when coupled with solid earnings and guidance in this morning’s quarterly report, could make for just the right conditions to strike on some options trades.

We’re going to signal interest in the DSW 12/21 $22.50 & $25 Calls, and keep those on watch throughout the rest of the week and into the next.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: More Thousand Percent Gainers!

Options Review

We included a trio of options ideas in Friday morning’s premarket report, even as we reported hitting a 28-bagger on CGC. Some may have thought that thousand percent gainers were a rarity, but not in this market! They all rose considerably, but TWO out the three ideas yielded chances at single session profits of more than a thousand percent!

Here are those ideas, and the total possible gains they recorded on the day:

AMD Weekly $22.50 & 23 Calls
$22.50: .31-1.48  (+377%) | $23: .07-.97 (+1285%)

ADSK Weekly $147-150 Calls
$147: 6.27-10.58 (+70%) | $148: 3.50-9.59 (+174%) | $149: 3.58-8.40 (+135%) | $150: 2.85-7.62 (+176%)

SPLK Weekly $114-117 Calls
$114: 1.10-12.09 (+999%) | $115: 1.00-11.10 (+1010%) | $116: .95-9.84 (+936%) | $117: 1.10-9.29 (+745%)


Seven Stars Cloud Group Inc SSC

On Friday we noted that our intial alert on SSC on the morning of July 24th led to a a move of 170%+. We then suggested a dip-and-rip could lead to even more gains, and as of the end of the day Thursday we had seen that move, from 2.71 to 4.35.

Friday the rebound continued, with SSC reaching a new high of 5.75. That extended the breadth of this move to 112%, proving that while we mainly focus on options nowadays, our interest in stocks alone still remains.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: VSTM, KTOV Recaps & More

Verastem, Inc. VSTM

With impressive new highs being printed yesterday we thought it was a good time to swing back around and recap the recent progress of a stock we’ve been tracking since early this spring. A quick look at the VSTM tag in our archives reveals that we began tracking this play with a mention in our premarket report on March 24th at which time the stock saw a low of 1.59 and never went any lower. That was followed by another reminder just a few weeks ago when the stock was trading in the 2.10’s.

Despite the usual fluctuations, the stock has been in an ascending wedge pattern on the chart from our initial highlight, generally trading in an upward direction and yesterday, hit new highs of 3.75. From our observed low of 1.59 that works out to a total increase of 142%  For those who may have only caught the most recent mention, gains of up to 95% were still attainable as of yesterday’s new high.



Kitov Pharmaceutical Holdings, Inc. KTOV

We included KTOV in yesterday morning’s premarket report after picking it up on our routine morning scan. The stock responded with a very nice daily performance.

From a low of 1.80 it ripped 100% to 2.70 for a perfect double-bagger, and it did so on extreme high volume on the order of 155X the monthly average. With that kind of price action and liquidity, we’ll be certain to keep close tabs on KTOV as we close out this holiday-shortened week.


ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (SVXY) – Options Idea

After some positive jobs numbers went out this morning, we want to signal a range of options in the SVXY, which is one of the funds we use as a market analog. A bullish session for the markets as a whole could spell some nice gain opportunities in the SVXY Weekly $152-154 Calls*.

*We don’t include mentions of weekly options contracts on a Friday without explicitly warning our readers every time. Trading weekly options at the end of the week is a highly risky proposition that should never be attempted by beginning or novice traders!
