Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Ideas, VAPE Recap & More

Fresh Options Ideas

The markets made a notable upturn following yesterday’s Fed meeting from which we learned that it will be proceeding with caution regarding a potential interest rate hike. The floundering world economy as well as trouble with low inflation domestically were cited as reasons behind the reticence. Despite the note of uncertainty, there is nothing ambiguous about the overall market sentiment at present, which is leading us to formulate some bullish ideas on the options-trading front.

SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY)

We’ve enjoyed tons of success trading SPY options in the past when we need a close analog of the markets as a whole, so it stands to reason that we call out a new idea for some SPY Calls this morning. We’re going to be paying attention to the SPY Weekly $204-206 Calls.


Apple, Inc. AAPL

AAPL seemed to enjoy a boost in the wake of the US Government’s dismissal of the federal court case which had embroiled the two in recent weeks. After enjoying a steady increases throughout the session, the stock is currently gapping up in the premarket. Our target range here is going to be AAPL Weekly $107-109 Calls.

Ambarella, Inc. AMBA

We flagged AMBA in yesterday’s watchlist and it too produced a bullish session. In addition to being connected with AAPL being a provider of internal hardware for Apple devices, AMBA received an upgrade from analysts at Morgan Stanley. We’ve got a corresponding options idea for this one as well. For this play, we’re looking to the AMBA Weekly $44-46 Calls.

Lulu Lemon Athletica, Inc. LULU

LULU is gapping this morning on the heels of an earnings beat, so we’re going to want to signal some calls here as well. This is another stock whose options chain has provided us with ammunition for extreme gains in the past. We’ll be monitoring the LULU Weekly $62-65.50 Calls.

With everything gapping up in the premarket, we’ll of course be on the lookout for possible dip-and-rip scenarios prior to the execution of any of these ideas.


Vape Holdings, Inc. VAPE
 
We can officially add VAPE to the list of cannabis-related stocks that we’ve witnessed making appreciable upswings this week. We added it to yesterday’s morning report as another pot-play to keep an eye on, and we’re immediately rewarded with a solid opportunity for some single-session gains.

VAPE traded in a range from .0106 to .017 on the day, giving traders the chance at profits of up to 60% The move came in conjunction with the announcement of another round of debt restructuring and consolidation (>>View PR).

We’ve added new cannabis candidates to our radar each day this week, and we’ll repeat that again today, pinning CANL and MCOA to our watchlist.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ADMD, VRX Updates & More


Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. VRX-  Options Update

 
When others are behaving as if the sky is falling, namely the analysts over at Piper Jaffray who recently blasted VRX, we’re on the lookout for for opportunities. We didn’t go along with the crowd, and went bullish on the embattled stock, and it turns out we had the winning hand.

We called Monday’s 52-week low the bottom, at least for the time being, and signaled the VRX 04/22 $32 Calls for observation. VRX had a boomer of a recovery session, running from 29.01 back to 32.05, and as a result our tracked contracts enjoyed a sizable intraday increase.  From a low of 2.90 they reached 3.90, a healthy 35% pop, and granted the fact that the stock appears ready to gap-up this morning, we expect that figure to expand appreciably.


Advanced Medical Isotope Corp. ADMD

This familiar stock was one of a pair of plays that stood out from the rest on yesterday morning’s extended watchlist. We’ve tracked this play on and off for well over a year, and came back to it at a good time to take advantage of the chart it’s been building.

We witnessed an intraday run from .003-.0042, marking a move of 40% which occurred on the heaviest recorded volume in almost a year, and the fourth consecutive session of higher highs and higher lows.

We also prepared a video presentation of the charts of each of the preceding plays:


Pan American Goldfields, Ltd. MXOM

We also had MXOM appear in yesterday’s watchlist, and it too enjoyed a modest but noteworthy move on the day. It went up from a low of .0068, reaching a high of .009. That worked out to a 32% intraday performance on approxiamtely qudruple the average monthly average volume.


KollagenX Corp. KGNX – Possible Bottom Bouncer

We’re going to pin KGNX to our tracklist today as well after noticing the stock showing signs of life off of its recently established 52-week low. We’ve highlighted the pertinent indicators on the chart below, and will continue to track its progress provided it continues to build higher base levels of support.
