Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Plenty of Options

Dicks Sporting Goods, Inc. DKS – Options Recap

We kept the options train rolling yesterday morning, with a fresh quick-strike idea for the DKS chain. Our targets of interest were the DKS Weekly $34.50-36 Calls and we got some very respectable moves out of each of those four sets of contracts.

The company posted solid quarterly figures, even as the sports superstores continued to curtail hunting/gun departments in more than 120 of its stores. That allowed for 3 out of the four contracts to post multi-bag gains, with the fourth not far behind.

Here are your total possible intraday profits which could have been realized during yesterday’s session: 

DKS Weekly $34.50-36 Calls
$107 Calls – Range: .65-1.15 – Max Gain: 77%
$108 Calls – Range: .43-.94 – Max Gain: 119%
$109 Calls – Range: .28-.95 – Max Gain: 239%
$110 Calls – Range: .20-.45 – Max Gain: 125%

Overstock.com, Inc. OSTK Weekly $20-20.50 Calls

Pier 1 Imports, Inc. PIR – Bottom Bouncer

We are catching PIR as it has just begun to come up off of its recently registered annual lows. We want to radar the stock here as it builds some momentum.

From current pricing, it would not be crazy to think that this retail stock may be capable of doubling as we approach retail season.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Closing Out Big Week

Arcadia Biosciences, Inc.  RKDA

We tagged RKDA for the first time since May in our extended watchlist yesterday morning, and we were met with a fantastic intraday rip. The stock traded up from a low of 6.93 and managed an intraday high of 10.40 before tapering back into the close. Daytraders could have made a pass at gains of up to 50%

That represents 8-month highs for the stock, a feat which was made possible by the company’s entry into the cannabis space. RKDA will hire a number of agricultural scientists/geneticists to develop ideal strains of hemp. It’s a story we’ll definitely want to follow.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FL Recap & More

Footlocker, Inc. FL – Recap

On Friday, we cited a big profit and sales beat on Foot Locker’s Q1 earnings report, noting that we have had good luck with the company’s earning chain in the past. Our designated targets were the FL 06/15 $52.50-55 Calls. Lightning struck for us once again as FL surged and our ideas took off.

The $52.50 Calls ran hard from a low of 1.30 and subsequently hit a high of 4.50. That works out to a daily rip of 246% Meanwhile, the $55 Calls went on a slightly more intense ride, trading in a range from .65-2.54 for total possible intraday gains of 291%


ArQule, Inc. ARQL
It was just this past Wednesday morning that we were mentioning our late April call on ARQL which allowed us to catch the stock when it was trading as low as 2.40. ARQL had, at the time of last week’s mention, breached into the four-dollar range, but after a fruitful finish to the week, we have to circle back to comment on its impressive new highs.

In its fifth consecutive trading day of posting higher lows and higher highs, the stock reached a new high of 5.29, pushing our one month observed increase on the stock to 120%



Tintri, Inc. TNTR

We also want to place TNTR on bottom watch as we kick off the short trading week, after noticing that the stock has been absolutely crushed in the past week. It had already been on a steady downward trajectory, but as you can see below, the selloff really kicked into high gear just last week.

We’ve also noticed a rapid rise in the short volume, accounting for more than 1.2M of the stocks total volume on Friday. With the stock already having been egregiously oversold, this type of scenario can often lead to a short squeeze, and we will want to be ready to ride TNTR on the way back up, if that occurs.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Review

Tiffany & Co. TIF – Options Recap
We wanted to take an opportunity to backtrack to our options idea from Wednesday, the TIF Weekly $114-117 Calls. We caught the stock on the heels of its earnings report, and the subsequent activity allowed for a good chance for us at the top of that range.

Our ideas got pushed so deep in the money, that the big winner turned out to be the 117’s. Those contracts started out on Wednesday from a low of 1.53, and as of yesterday had reached an impressive high of 8.24. That works out to a two-day swing of 439%


Footlocker, Inc. FL 

We’ve had some good luck with the FL options chain in the past, and we’re going to place some contracts on watch today in the wake of the company’s big profit and sales beat this morning. Q1 earnings blew people away today, and as a result the stock is up considerably.

With no weekly expiration contracts available, we’re going to go out to the FL 06/15 $52.50-55 Calls, for potential quick strike trades.
