Ending a Strong Week on a High Note

Thursday’s Major Movers: 

The majority of our fortunes have come down on the positive side of the street this week, and yesterday was a continuation of that trend. With the exception of one out of the five options ideas we had loaded up for yesterday’s premarket report, we saw really nice intraday runs out of our whole slate for the day.

We were tracking the ASAN Weekly $19.50-21 Calls, the BJ 03/17 $75-80 Calls, the JD Weekly $45.50-44.50 Puts, and the TSLA Weekly $182.50-180 Puts, and they yielded plenty of chances for multibag intraday gains. Here were the trading ranges and total possible profits they recorded:

$19.50:
 1.35-3.22 (+139%)
$20: 1.05-3.00 (+186%)

Great Start to the Short Week, Fresh Plays

Short Week Begins on a High Note: 

We got things off to a really good start yesterday morning with our first report of this short trading week, carrying over the success we have been enjoying all year long. We rarely seem to miss, and such was the case again with yesterday’s potential targets. We selected a couple of big name earnings reporters with weekly contracts, and one extended term expiration, and saw reasonable intraday opportunities out of all of them.

They were the WMT Weekly $139-142 Calls, the HD Weekly $302.50-305 Calls, and the BHP 03/17 $67.50-70 Calls, and the breakdown of their daily movement and total possible profits for traders, were as follows:

 4.40-8.60 (+95%)
$140: 3.35-8.20 (+145%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AVGO Options Recap & More

Broadcom, Inc. AVGO – Recap

To close out the week on Friday, we took our usual approach in signaling some last-minute options ideas for possible daytrades. In this particular case, we were attracted to the AVGO Weekly $252.50-257.50 Calls, and we’re pleased to report total success on that front, with the help of an eleven-dollar swing from AVGO shares themselves.

All three of the contract sets contained within our designated range produced impressive gain opportunities on the day. The total possible profits for daytraders on each set were as follows: 

$252.50 Calls – Range: 7.95-13.65 – Max Gain: 72%
$255 Calls – Range: 6.14-11.00 – Max Gain: 95%
$257.50 Calls – Range: 2.70-8.00 – Max Gain: 196%

FRESH OPTIONS IDEA: 

We’ll also formulate a new options idea to start off the week this morning. The market looks like it wants to turn around again today, so we’ll go ahead and slate the SPY 06/19 $289-290.50 Calls as our ones to watch.  



BOTTOM WATCHLIST:

We’ve also got a three pack of bottom plays with freshly reported earnings today. We’ll place all of the following on watch for possible rebounds this week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: QCOM, SPU Updates & More

SkyPeople Fruit Juice, Inc. SPU

Yesterday we were just remarking on the excellent performance of SPU, a stock we’d just tagged for observation last Friday, which had gone on a major upswing over the four preceding sessions. To that point, it had run from a low of 4.00 up to Wednesday’s high of 10.13 (+153%).

SPU proceeded to pile up the gains as it streaked to a new high once again during yesterday’s session. From an early low of 8.82, the stock broke past previous resistance and hit 12.30. That was good for an intraday gain of 39% as well as an overall increase over our observed low of 4.00 from Friday, amounting to 207%

Though the chart is beginning to look a bit toppy, we’ll stay on SPU’s trail provided it can continue to record higher daily lows as it has done each day since we initially brought it to the table. With the stock gapping up back into the $12-range in premarket trading, the table could be set for another interesting session.



QUALCOMM, Inc. QCOM –
We caught QCOM on the heels of an earning beat yesterday and formulated a range of corresponding options ideas. Our highlighted target range was the QCOM Weekly $58-61 Calls, and all seven of the contracts within came up with solid single-session moves:

$58 Calls – Range: 1.35-2.42 – Max Gain: 79%
$58.50 Calls – Range: .99-1.95 – Max Gain: 97%
$59 Calls – Range: .60-1.50 – Max Gain: 150%
$59.50 Calls – Range: .34-1.05 – Max Gain: 209%
$60 Calls – Range: .15-.70 – Max Gain: 367%
$60.50 Calls – Range: .07-.40 – Max Gain: 471%
$61 Calls – Range: .04-.27 – Max Gain: 575%

It was the second day in a row that our options ideas yielded multi-bag profit potential, and a great example of why we continuously return to options trading as an alternative to traditional securities.


MaxSound Corp. MAXD

We also want to quickly congratulate anyone who caught our re-alert on MAXD this past Friday, when the stock was trading as low as .0043. Yesterday, it cracked though and held above the barrier into Pennyland, reaching a high of, and closing at .0125. That marks a 191% rip that we’ve witnessed here in under a week’s time!
