A Terrific Tuesday, FIVE Fresh Ideas

Tuesday’s Big Runners:

The flow of big name earnings reporters returned yesterday, and with it came three potential options trading ideas for our premarket report. Thanks in part to another strong day for the markets, all three of those plays could have worked in traders’ favor in a big way. We have another huge earnings load being dumped for today, so we would expect to see this exciting activity persist as we cruise through this midweek.

Yesterday’s earnings-related runners were the RTX Weekly $87-88 Calls, the UAL Weekly $39.50-40.50 Calls, and the GE Weekly $130-129 Puts, and they exhibited the following intraday moves on the session:

RTX Weekly $87-88 Calls
$87: 1.65-5.35 (+224%)
$88: 1.04-4.40 (+323%)

UAL Weekly $39.50-40.50 Calls
$39.50: .88-2.30 (+185%)
$40: .63-1.85 (+194%)

GE Weekly $130-129 Puts

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: EXCLUSIVE AMPG INTERVIEW

AmpliTech Group, Inc. AMPG

We’ve been keeping track of AMPG for ten weeks now, and not only did the stock make a run from .043 to .084 during that time, but it has managed to hold more than half of those gains upon consolidation, and has held firm in the .065-.075 area.

For a company that, for the time being, is rather small in size, AmpliTech has serviced some big accounts in both the government and private sectors. The company’s RF signal amplifiers are top of the line in terms of noise reduction effectiveness, and AMPG exhibited its wares at a recent high profile conference.

We were pleased to attend the 2019 International Microwave Symposium in Boston, Massachusetts last week, where we got the opportunity to sit down and conduct a face-to-face interview with Fawad Maqbool, the CEO of AmpliTech. We highly recommend that you take a few moments to check it out.

RH, Inc. RH – Recap

Our bearish options trading idea from yesterday’s report turned out to be our bigger winner for the day. We selected the  RH Weekly $120-118 Puts even after the company posted a solid beat on Q1 earnings and raised guidance.

It might have seemed like a counter-intuitive choice to some, but we had good reason. The stock was gapping up way too high in the premarket. We predicted that it would fall after the open, and it turned out to be the right hunch.

The following intraday gains were made possible by our idea:

RH Weekly $120-118 Puts
$120 Puts: 3.80-8.40 (+121%)
$119 Puts: 3.90-6.75 (+73%)
$118 Puts: 3.00-6.29 (+110%)

Fresh Options Idea:
AVGO Weekly $252.50-257.50 Calls

Important: DO NOT attempt to trade options contracts with a weekly expiration on a Friday unless you are an advanced level trader with access to disposable funds.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: NLNK Recap & More

NewLink Genetics Corp. NLNK

After our call of NLNK Thursday morning, the stock traded from 9.50-14.48 (+52%) which was a fantastic move for something it that price range.  We noted the strong close, and Friday morning re-iterated our interest despite the big move we’d already witnessed.

It’s a good thing we left NLNK on our radars, because while it didn’t quite rise to the previous session’s intraday performance, it came awfully close, and completed a very nice two-day swing for us in the process. Friday’s trading range on NLNK ran from 13.51 up to a new high of 19.30 for a daily move of 43% and representing a two-session rise of 103%

The stock traded thirteen times its monthly average volume, and maintained well over half its advance into a second consecutive strong close, so we’re quite curious to monitor its activity as we kick off a fresh trading week.

Kura Oncology Inc. KURA

Speaking of higher-priced movers, we also tagged KURA in Friday’s premarket report after the company’s mid-stage cancer treatment trials yielded positive results. It too went on a run which was uncharacteristically volatile for a $9+ stock.

The tradin grange on this one ran from 9.30-13.80 for an intraday push of 48% and did so on over 20X the monthly average volume. The close wasn’t quite as strong as the previously mentioned play, but we’ll still leave a slot open on our radar screens for KURA heading into this week.

Honorable Mention: Adaptimmune Therapeutics plc ADAP – While the level of gains provided wasn’t quite as high following our tag of ADAP on Thursday, the stock did string together a noteworthy couple of sessions. It traded from a low of 7.02 on Thursday to a high of 8.95 on Friday, marking a 27% swing.
