Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Trio

Fresh Options Ideas

We have a trio of fresh options ideas for today’s report- a couple of earnings plays, and a Form-4 alert. 

Ulta Beauty, Inc. ULTA – We saw a Form-4 pop up on ULTA last week, as the stock was beginning to find its way up off a bottom. There is an absolutely massive topside gap on the chart, so we’re looking at this as a longer-term idea.

We’re set to track the ULTA 11/01 $260-265 Calls over the next few weeks, which would play very well if the stock can even begin to fill that gap.
_____

McCormick & Co. Inc. MKC – First up for our pair of earnings plays, we’ve got MKC, which posted a Q3 profit beat as well as heightened guidance. We’re going to tag the MKC Weekly $155-160 Calls for observation this morning.
_____

Stitch Fix, Inc. SFIX 
 – Lastly, we’ve got SFIX earns coming up in the post-market this afternoon, and the stock is at a really good spot on the chart. We’re going to radar the SFIX Weekly $19.50-20 Calls.


IMPORTANT REMINDER!

We will be initiating coverage on a brand new high-potential nanotech play tomorrow morning!

Stay glued to those inboxes or visit BlueHorseshoeStocks.com shortly after 9AM tomorrow morning for our Special Report!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: GEVO Recap, Potential Bottom-Plays & More

Gevo, Inc. GEVO
___
We tracked GEVO to some nice gains late this spring, and re-admitted the stock into the conversation in yesterday’s report. We were met with a respectable intraday increase as it traded up from a low of 2.37 to a daily high of 3.00. It registered as an opportunity of single session gains of up to 27% on volume of more than twice the 3-month average.

The stock is pulling back slightly in the premarket today, but we could see some further chances from this play into next week, provided it can continue to build a higher base of support in coming sessions. We’ll want to see the stock maintain above yesterday’s swing low of 2.37 to remain interested at the moment.

___
Potential Bottom-Plays

PostRock Energy Corp. PSTR

We spotted some potential in PSTR after catching it on a routine scan recently, and thought it’d be a good time to mention it as it is coming up off of recent relative lows.

The stock ran into some resistance just a tick below its 50DMA of 2.76 yesterday, and that’s going to be the figure we watch for a break. A move past that point, and there doesn’t seem to be much standing in the way of this low-float play running up to the level of its current 200DMA, presently sitting at 4.01.
___

Wizard World, Inc. WIZD

WIZD is a stock that has recently been beaten back to new 52-week lows, and as our regular readers are well aware, we’ve had an exceptional amount of success in the past with stocks in just this position. As you can see on the prepared chart below, WIZD is drastically oversold at the present time, and trading at just a fraction of its moving averages.

We’ll keep this stock on the radar heading into next week, and have our eyes open for a move up off of these newly attained lows. On a side note, the company just announced that the comic convention it is hosting the third week in September has secured an appearance by legendary boxer, Mike Tyson. >>VIEW PR 


Fresh Options Ideas

LinkedIn Corp. LNKD – Despite a hefty beat on earnings and raised guidance by the company, LNKD shared slipped more than 5% during yesterday’s session. The reactionary slide was primarily due to the perception of weakness in some of the areas of LinkedIn’s core business. Despite that fact, we want to offer up a longer-term options idea relating to the stock’s potential recovery over the next several weeks. We’re going to give specific attention to LNKD Sept. 11th $210-220 Calls.

___

GoPro, Inc. GPRO & Expedia, Inc. EXPE – Both of these stocks are gapping up in the premarket this morning, so as a closing idea for the week we’ll be monitoring Weekly Calls in each of them for a possible dip-and-rip. Those ranges of highest interest to us are GPRO $63-64.50 Calls, and EXPE $115-117 Calls.

Options Trading Side Note:

Don’t forget about the success we’ve had this week with the Weekly Ford (F) $14.50-15 Calls, and Weekly MU $19.50-20.00 Calls. We’ll have our eyes peeled for the possibility of seeing some added spikes as the trading week comes to a close.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: LFAP, GPRO Recaps & More

LifeApps Digital Media, Inc. LFAP

Our timing in alerting LFAP in yesterday’s premarket report honestly couldn’t have been any better. The stock had fallen to a new 52-week low in the previous session, and we caught it on our news scanner with a PR which highlighted the launch of the company’s Apple Healthkit-Enabled App For iOS.

The coincidence of those two events provided a springboard for the stock, which opened at its daily low of .0027 and served up the chance at a double-bagger as it surged 100% to .0054. That was followed by a short recession to .0035, and rebound back to a high of .0047, tacking on an extra 34% spike.

Cheers go out to any of our readers who were able to take advantage of this timely call!


GoPro, Inc. GPRO – Options

GPRO turned out to be one of the better options trading calls we made this week. Yesterday we mentioned that as a result of a big gap up on earnings, we’d be on the lookout for potential plays in the range of Weekly $49-51.50 Calls.

The price action on GPRO as the stock predictably performed a dip-and-rip maneuver on the chart, provided a couple of swing opportunities in each set of contracts in our targeted range. For example:

The $49 Calls shot up 61% from 3.10 to 5.00 in the first 15 minutes of trading, and dipped back to a low of 2.40 before rebounding as high as 4.50, adding another 87% swing.

The $51.50’s first ran from 1.30-2.75 gaining 112%, and followed that up with a pullback to .92 before returning to 2.16 (+135%)

Each set of contracts between those low and high ends of our selected range ($49.50, $50, $50.50, & $51’s) also served up opportunities with similar price action and possible gains for traders.


Added Notes:

We picked up on a couple of stocks with fresh PRs out this morning that also happen to be coming up off of recent lows. As LFAP decisively proved yesterday, this has the potential to create the conditions necessary for rapid gains. We’ll have both of these on our radars as the session kicks off:
