SPY Yields Thousand Percent Gainers & More

SPY Calls Roll:

Up until yesterday morning, it had actually been quite some time since we had last formulated a daily trading idea for the SPY, which historically has been one of our most common targets. Despite an up-and-down session for the markets, we did observe some very nice gain opportunities in our targeted contracts.

We were looking at the SPY 09/13 $446-448 Calls due to a relative dry spell of earnings reporters that will persist for the next several weeks. It turned out to be a solid choice, with our designated range yielding three out of three multi-baggers, including two sets that ran well over a thousand percent!

Here are the total moves and possible profits provided by our selections on the day:

SPY 09/13 $446-448 Calls*
$446: .05-.99 (+1880%)
$447: .01-.16 (+1500%)
$448: .17-.44 (+159%)

We’ll stick with the same SPY targets but for tomorrow’s expiration, following better than expected Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures dropped this morning.

Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 09/15 $446-448 Calls
ORCL Weekly $87-85.50 Puts
B 10/15 $35-45 Calls

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: NTNX Update & More

Nutanix, Inc. NTNX

We began highlighting NTNX just a week ago in our report from the morning of March 12th. On that day the stock saw a low of 35.20, as we signaled the NTNX 05/19 $40-42.50 Calls for longer-term observation.

We wanted to provide an update on both the stock and our options targets this morning, as NTNX has produced a very solid and steady uptrend since the morning of our initial alert. Yesterday, NTNX ran to a new high of 42.21. That marked a 1-week increase of 20% and it allowed for some nice moves in our highlighted contracts.

The $40 Calls have thus far traded in a range from 1.96 to 4.20 for a gain of 114% while the $42.50’s ran from 1.21-2.85, an increase of 136% NTNX is only halfway to filling the topside gap on itas chart, and there’s plenty of time remaining until expiration. We’ll be interested to see if the stock can pile on even more gains.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: JACK Update & More

Jack in the Box, Inc. JACK – Update

As a fresh options trading idea on Friday morning, we submitted the Jack 07/20 $80-90 Calls for observation after noticing the company’s solid earnings report and premarket gap-up. Although we passed over the weeklies for the July 20th calls for a bit more of an extended idea, it took no time at all for those contracts to see significant appreciation.

We’re pleased to say that each of the three selected targets produced respectable single-session moves, and will remain on our radar moving forward. Those potential gains were as follows: ,

$80 Calls – Range: 3.70-5.78 – Max Gain: 56%
$85 Calls – Range: 1.42-2.58 – Max Gain: 82%
$90 Calls – Range: .50-.80 – Max Gain: 60%

aTyr Pharma, Inc. LIFE

We noticed that LIFE woke from a slumber late last week, and began to trend off of its annual lows. We’re going to put it on the radar as a potential recovery play. As you can see, the stock was ridiculously oversold heading into last week, following a massive beating from roughly a month ago.

We believe there is a fair chance that the stock could return to the levels from prior to that backslide, which would spell significant gains from the current PPS.

Blue Horseshoe Stock: EGLE, SFOR Video Recap & More

Eagle Bulk Shipping, Inc. EGLE

We also had a new idea to start the new trading week yesterday morning by spotting and relaying a momentum play that had built a nice looking chart over the preceding sessions, but still appeared to have room to the upside.

A solid performance followed, as our reliance on the bullish indicators on the chart proved to be well-founded. EGLE still had gas left in the tank and responded with a respectable intraday increase of 31% nearly all of which was held into the close.

The stock has taken that head of steam and breached the one dollar barrier in the premarket this morning, so we’ll be very interested to continue monitoring its activity as the market opens up today.

Strikeforce Technology, Inc. SFOR

We were just updating our readers yesterday morning on SFOR, a stock which we introduced to our reports on March 31st at a low of .0007, that had already made impressive gains to the tune of more than 150%

The stock’s single day performance would nearly equal that yesterday, as it bulled its way higher throughout the entire day. It traded up from an early low of .0014 and went on to hit .0034, which worked out to a 143% intraday rip, and came on more than ten times the 3-month average volume.

From our observed low of .0007 from two Thursday’s ago, yesterday’s high translates into an overall 386% move to the upside!

We prepared a video presentation outlining the highlights of both EGLE and SFOR which you can find here:

GEVO, Inc. GEVO

We’ve talked about GEVO in our reports before, and this morning the stock is catching our attention once again after appearing in the news with an exciting revelation.

According to the release “Gevo’s renewable alcohol to jet fuel (“ATJ”) is now eligible to be used as a blending component in standard Jet A-1 for commercial airline use … Gevo’s ATJ is eligible to be used for up to a 30% blend in conventional jet fuel for commercial flight”

In addition to a door swinging open for its ATJ product, GEVO also happens to be in a good place on the chart, so we’ll definitely be putting this stock on intensive watch in sessions to come.

Added Note: Another stock which has begun to trend up off of its bottom is Rex Energy Corp. REXX, which caught a wave of momentum yesterday as it was announced that REXX had entered into a lucrative purchase agreement that will send its natural shale gas to Europe. The stock is gapping up again this morning, so we’ll be placing it our on radars as well.
