Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AA Options Update & More

Alcoa, Inc. AA – Options Idea

We took the opportunity to target some AA puts yesterday morning after noticing a technically weak chart, combined with a let-down on the company’s earnings report. Post-earnings options ideas are quite simply one of our favorite ways to see rapid moves to the upside, and Alcoa was no exception to that rule.

Our specific targets were the AA Weekly $32-30 Puts, and every set of contracts within that range afforded us the chance at hefty single-session profits.

$32 Puts – Range: 2.64-3.77 – Max Gain: 43%
$31.50 Puts – Range: 1.93-3.59 – Max Gain: 86%
$31 Puts – Range: 1.57-3.98 – Max Gain: 153%
$30.50 Puts – Range: 1.16-2.58 – Max Gain: 122%
$30 Puts – Range: .65-2.11 – Max Gain: 225%

With the stock gapping down slightly in the premarket once again, we’ll be on the lookout for those ranges to be extended. Should the stock’s heavy decline continue, we’ll continue to track those, as well as explore the possibility of rolling down our strike prices to stay closer to the money.

BioStar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. BSPM

We want to circle back around to provide an update on the recent activity of BSPM, which we placed on watch back on the 15th of last month. We would subsequently observe a low of 2.54 the following morning, and after a steady stair-stepping performance in ensuing sessions, the stock went meteoric during trading yesterday.

It made an excellent 96% intraday push from 3.60 up to its new high of 7.06, which marked an overall increase of 178% above the low we witnessed just under a month ago. The move was catalyzed by the launch of the company’s rhinitis and sinusitis treatment in China; an absolutely huge market.

Extended-Term Options Ideas

We want to signal some longer-term options ideas for tracking in the weeks ahead on both Nike and Lululemon. NKE just registered new 52-week lows yesterday, while LULU has come down its lowest PPS since February. Therefore, we’d like to monitor the activity in the following options contracts.

Nike, Inc. NKE – 12/16 $50-57.50 Calls

Lululemon Athletica, Inc. LULU – 12/08 $55-62.50 Calls

Options Updates

Barracuda Networks, Inc. CUDA – On Friday, we had just caught CUDA coming off of a heavy earnings beat, and we signaled our interest in a couple sets of contracts in the options chain to correspond with the expected activity. Specifically the CUDA 07/15 $15 and $17.50 Calls.  It was a good thing that we did, because what followed were some eye-popping gain opportunities!

The $15’s have now traded up from a low of 2.55 to a high of 6.53, for an excellent swing of 156%, while the $17.50’s have amazingly run from .60 to as much as 4.10, a huge 583% rip!

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR – We’ve drawn off of the PBR well countless times in the past, and our most recent idea, the PBR 07/15 $6.50 and $7 Calls (which we submitted on the morning of June 29th) has paid off with a couple of sizable swings.

In the roughly two weeks since we tabbed these plays for observation, we saw the $6.50 Calls run first from .30-1.07 (+256%), followed by a dip back to .35 and a rip back to 1.27 (+263%). The $7’s provided similar, yet even bigger action as they initially saw a move from .15-.69 (+360%), followed by a second from .14-.85 (+507%).

We expect the gains mentioned here to be extended as PBR is gapping up again this morning, and we may need to consider rolling up our strike prices to the $7.50 and $8 Calls as the situation dictates.

Gold Resource Corp. GORO

We also want to provide an update on another idea from the end of last week. We were circling back around to GORO on Thursday, a play we’d begun tracking two weeks prior from a low of 3.19.

Since our re-alert on Thursday, GORO has logged higher highs and higher lows in all three sessions. From Thursday’s low of 4.35 to yesterday’s high of 5.44 was a solid 25% upswing, and from our observed low of 3.19 (06/28), it marked a total increase of 71%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Important Announcement


IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Before we get down to our interests for today’s session, we wanted to give our readers a quick heads-up for Monday morning.

We’ll be presenting a special in-depth report on an intriguing cannabis stock with a diverse portfolio and an attractive backstory, so be sure to monitor your inboxes closely around 9:00am Eastern on Monday! The set-up on the chart should give us a great chance at kicking off next week on a high note.

Lot78, Inc. LOTE

Moving along to today’s report, we’ve got to provide an update on LOTE, which we’ve been tracking since Thursday of last week. At the time, the stock was trading as low as .0037, and the progress it has made since then has been nothing short of astronomical.

In fact, LOTE has pushed to new highs in each of the five sessions since we brought it to the table. Yesterday, it churned out its second biggest single-session move yet, running from the open at .013 up to .03, for intraday gains of up to 131%

The overall increase over our observed low from a week ago as of yesterday’s high comes out to 711%, so big cheers are in order for anyone who caught the wave! As long as the stock continues to record higher lows and higher highs, we’ll be keeping a close eye on it.


Fresh Options Ideas:

Bank of America Corp. BAC – With the markets ripping this morning off of impressive jobs numbers, we’ll be interested in checking out a couple of contracts in the BAC options chain. The stock itself is in a good position on the chart to continue its recent rebound, so we’ll be eyeing the BAC Weekly $13 and $13.50 Calls for possible daytrade chances. But remember what we always say, in terms of weekly options trading on Friday: For expert traders only!

Barracuda Networks, Inc. CUDA – Following an impressive untraded-upon earnings beat yesterday afternoon, we are very keen to observe the activity in CUDA in sessions to come. We’re going to signal a couple sets of options contracts for tracking on this one as well, namely the CUDA 07/15 $15 and $17.50 Calls. These don’t expire until next Friday, so evaporating premiums won’t be an issue today.
