Blue Horseshoe Stocks: KMX Recap & More

CarMax, Inc. KMX 

First up this morning, we’re going to start off the fresh trading week by reviewing the performance of the CarMax options we signaled in Friday’s premarket report on the heels of the company’s Q2 earnings beat.

We’re constantly pounding the table on post-earning options trading, simply because we are so very often successful in our selections. Volatility is a swing trader’s best friend, and few things create it more quickly and effectively than a solid beat on earnings.

So we signaled our interest in tracking the KMX Weekly $69.50-71.50 Calls and it worked like a charm:

$69.50 Calls – Range: 1.21-4.96 – Max Gain: 310%
$70 Calls – Range: 1.10-4.40 – Max Gain: 300%
$70.50 Calls – Range: .55-3.78 – Max Gain: 587%
$71 Calls – Range: .35-3.50 – Max Gain: 900%
$71.50 Calls – Range: .30-2.41 – Max Gain: 703%



Helios and Matheson Analytics, Inc. HMNY

We just updated our readers on our coverage of HMNY last Wednesday, when we pointed out that we slated the stock for tracking on August 15th and observed a subsequent low of 2.42. By midweek the stock had already made a considerable move up, but Friday’s session brought another big pop to new highs.

HMNY traded in a daily range from 5.67 to 7.95 gaining 40%, a very respectable intraday move in and of itself. The new high marked an overall move of 229% from our observed low.

Volume was much higher than average all last week, and the stock maintain roughly half of its daily advance into a fairly strong close, so we’ll need to keep monitoring HMNY for the continued establishment of higher highs and higher lows.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: UNXL Recap & More


Uni-Pixel, Inc. UNXL

Our premarket report yesterday morning may have left some of our newer readers wondering why we would put forth a stock that had just been crushed to new all-time lows amid forthcoming bankruptcy and the layoff of its entire workforce. Our more seasoned readers will recall many times in the past where just such a set of circumstances has allowed for big opportunities, and yesterday was no exception.

UNXL began its rebound immediately following the opening bell, and in the first 90 minutes of trading, shot up from a low of .07 to as much as .16. That worked out to an intraday rip of 128% which occurred on massive volume on the order of nearly forty times the monthly average.

It just goes to show why we are constantly scanning for stocks coming off of their 52-week lows, because quite often they become fantastic rebound plays just like UNXL did yesterday. In fact, it ended up being the NASDAQ’s biggest gainer of the day, so cheers to anyone who was along for the ride!


Coty, Inc. COTY

We like the setup of the current COTY chart and would like to signal a pair of options contracts for observation in the days and weeks ahead.

Here we have another stock that was battered down in rapid fashion, having been trading over $20/share as recently as the beginning of this month. That includes a large gap left on the chart. It reached it ultimate low on Thursday, and since then has shown signs of a possible extended recovery, not to mention some insider buying.

On that note, we’re going to be looking to the COTY 10/06 $17 & $17.50 Calls  for potential swing trades in the days and weeks to come.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Bottom-Plays, Updates & More


BioNovelus, Inc. ONOV

For the third day in a row we’re bringing our readers up to speed on new highs for ONOV, a stock we’ve been tracking since  April from a low of .006, which has been continuing to break out like crazy this week.

We said in was in blue-sky territory in yesterday morning’s premarket report, and it did indeed continue to soar into the atmosphere. From an early low-of-day at .11 it got a boost all the way up to its new high of .15. It went down in the books as a 36% intraday pop, and a megalithic move of 2400% over our witnessed low from earlier this spring!

Cheers go out to any of our readers who were able to carve out a slice of the ONOV pie, it’s been quite a ride thus far!


Bottom-Play Possibilities:

As most of our audience is surely aware by now, we love a good bottom-bounceplay opportunity, and in the past, catching stocks that have taken recent beating at just the right moment has served us quite well. We’ve got a couple of potentials in that arena this morning that we’ll want to have an eye on over the next few sessions.

Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. INFI – This is a classic case of negative hype and unfavorable news simultaneously converging to form a perfect storm of stock bashing. Just look at the massive gap on the chart, even a partial re-filling of which would produce sizable gain opportunities. The enormous selloff which occurred led to new lows, but INFI gave something of a bounce signal during yesterday’s session, so we’ll be quite interested to see how the activity unfolds from this juncture.

FXCM, Inc. FXCM – Also giving off a strong bottom signal is FXCM, a stock we rode to multi-bag gains back in December. We want to come back and give some attention to this play as it has come down to find support near its 6-month lows, and appears ready for a possible rebound. We’ll want to be watching for when that occurs.
