INO Update & More

Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. INO 

We signaled INO on Thursday morning, and this week, the stock has enjoyed some really solid activity, which facilitated the chance at a big gain for traders. We have observed a range of 3.83-7.48 in just a couple of sessions. That works out to total potential profit of 95%

It was a buck of the overall trend as many of these pharma plays have been doing through the coronavirus scare currently in progress. While the markets got a momentary boost from the Fed’s surprise rate cut yesterday, it was not long-lived, and the decline for other stocks continued throughout the majority of the session.

This morning, the stock has hit 8.80 in the premarket, extending our observed gain this week to 130%

While world governments rush to contain the spread of the virus, it would not yet be accurate to call it under control. We would expect much more hardship on the day-to-day for stocks before we’re out of the woods. So plays like INO are a welcome respite during this tumultuous time, and we’ll do our best to keep them coming.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Happy New Year!

Huge Winners from Friday

We highlighted multiple options ideas on Friday, and are pleased to report that we found major success across the board. Despite closing flat, the markets as a whole produced an intraday run which was sufficient to push everything on our radar to huge gains. It was a great way to close out 2018 with a bang, especially considering the poor trajectory we were on just a few sessions prior.

SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY) – For the SPY we formulated two sets of ideas, one for calls and one for puts, and because of the market, both ideas were hugely successful. They were the  SPY Weekly $248-249.50 Calls, and the SPY Weekly $251-250 Puts. For the Calls, the crux of the gains came in the 2 o’clock hour, while the heaviest moves for the Puts came at Power Hour.

$248 Calls – Range: .84-3.47 – Max Gain: 313%
$248.50 Calls – Range: .64-2.80 – Max Gain: 338%
$249 Calls – Range: .50-2.50 – Max Gain: 400%
$249.50 Calls – Range: .40-2.05 – Max Gain: 410%

$251 Puts – Range: .81-3.81 – Max Gain: 370%
$250.50 Puts – Range: .62-3.21 – Max Gain: 418%
$250 Puts – Range: .43-3.02 – Max Gain: 602%

Tesla, Inc. TSLA

We also had a range of TSLA Calls lined up on Friday, and those all fared extremely well also. The gains were even more impressive than those of the SPY, with a five, a six, and an eight-bagger in the mix!

$322.50 Calls – Range: 2.14-13.50 – Max Gain: 531%
$325 Calls – Range: 1.39-11.05– Max Gain: 636%
$327.50 Calls – Range: .90-8.80 – Max Gain: 878%


HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM BLUE HORSESHOE!

Despite the last few weeks of horrid market conditions, 2018 as a whole was another great year for us, and it was nice to finish it on a similar high note. We focused on, and will continue to focus on high risk high reward options plays, with stocks peppered in when appropriate. We appreciate every single one of our readers, and will strive to continue serving you well, as we head into Blue Horseshoe Stocks’ ninth calendar year! Happy New Year, and we look forward to a fantastic 2019!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Post-Earnings Options

Spectrum Global Solutions, Inc. SGSI

The first thing we want to do this morning is to go over the performance of SGSI following our detailed report published in the premarket. If you didn’t catch it, we urge you to read it over now (>>View Report).

Aside from going over some of the attractive features of the company, we indicated that the stock had reached a double-bottom area of support, and the activity unfolded as a classic bottom bounce play, complete with some excellent volatility. The stock traded from a low of .265 and hit a daily high of .45. That’s a 70% intraday swing which came on more than four times the monthly average volume.

We’ll be very interested to continue tracking this play in the days and weeks ahead. We’ll look for it to establish higher highs and higher lows, and potentially make a run at the current 50DMA of .6275.


Fresh Ideas

We’ve also got a pair of post-earnings options ideas to add into the mix this morning.

Campbell Soup Co. CPB – Campbell’s beat on earnings even as quarterly profit slid by nearly a third. Along with the help of solid guidance, the stock is up in the premarket. We’ll be tracking the CPB Weekly $38.50-40.50 Calls.
______

Lowes Companies, Inc. LOW – Lowes had a mixed release as well, but looks bearish even after its own earnings beat, and the news that the company would pull back Mexico operations to focus more on the US Market. At the present time, we’re looking at the LOW Weekly $87-85 Puts.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Idea & More

Campbell Soup Co. CPB – Options Update

We opened up the week yesterday with a fresh options idea, designating the CPB Weekly $30.50-$42 Calls for observation, and we were pleased to be met with potential gains across the board. While not every contract set was a huge runner, they all made gains, including 4 out of 6 recording multi-bag performances on the day.

$30.50 Calls – Range: 2.26-3.12 – Max Gain: 38%
$40 Calls – Range: 1.00-3.00 – Max Gain: 200%
$40.50 Calls – Range: 1.63-2.00 – Max Gain: 23%
$41 Calls – Range: .95-2.10 – Max Gain: 121%
$41.50 Calls – Range: .80-1.80 – Max Gain: 125%
$42 Calls – Range: .60-1.50 – Max Gain: 150%

With the way CPB stock itself behaved, we’ll be very interested to continue to keep an eye on the activity in these plays as the week progresses.


Fresh Options Idea – Harley-Davidson, Inc. HOG

As promised, we also have another fresh options idea today. Harley announced plans to shift some of its US production overseas to avoid EU tariffs over the weekend, and was promptly slammed by Donald Trump.

This has caused a clear over-reaction by enough traders/investors as well as a spike in short interest which is driving the stock down rapidly. It is approaching a multi-bottom setup on the chart, and we’re going to want to be ready to take advantage when the rebound occurs.

We’re going to signal the HOG 08/03 $43-44 Calls, and remain watchful over HOG in the days and weeks ahead for a rebound that could be coming at any time.
