Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Reviewing Friday’s Picks & More

Recapping Friday’s Options Ideas

We made it a point to pass along a handful of quick-strike options ideas on Friday. We mentioned the high-risk, high-reward nature of trading weekly contracts on a Friday, and we certainly were rewarded as every single idea we formulated bore fruit, to varying degrees.

Here’s a breakdown of the prime possibilities for profit that we observed:

Netflix, Inc. NFLX – The rather broad range we provided for NFLX were Weekly $595-612.50 Calls, and every set of contracts in that range made highly impressive moves:

$595 Calls – Daily Range: 6.58-23.00 – Max Gain: 250%
$597.50 Calls – Daily Range: 5.30-20.67 – Max Gain: 290%
$600 Calls – Daily Range: 3.63-18.02 – Max Gain: 396%
$602.50 Calls – Daily Range: 2.80-15.45 – Max Gain: 452%
$605 Calls – Daily Range: 1.10-12.82 – Max Gain: 1065%
$607.50 Calls – Daily Range: 1.00-10.62  – Max Gain: 962%
$610 Calls – Daily Range: .80-8.17 – Max Gain: 921%
$612.50 Calls – Daily Range: .53-5.54 – Max Gain: 945%

____

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Our idea for AAPL was the Weekly $128 and $129 Calls, and a relatively volatile outing brought several significant swing-trade opportunities in each:

$128 Calls started out by first trading from an early low of 1.06 to 1.58 (+49%). It then pulled back to find support at .53 before taking off again to hit .99 (+86%). That swing was followed another ranging from .43-.92 (114%), and then by a final dip to .53 and run back to .81 (+53).

$129 Calls traded with similar action; four distinct swings of  53%, 134%, 167% and 300% occurred during the session.
____

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR – The PBR Weekly $10 Calls that we tagged for observation made a monster move from .03-.20, yielding the chance at gains of up to 566%

The stock is gapping up in the premarket today, so we’re going to continue keep our eyes on PBR. Our interest to start out the week will be in the Weekly $10 and 10.50 Calls for potential daytrade swing-trade opportunities.

Huge congratulations go out to any of our followers that were able to bank some hefty gains off of Friday’s excellent options ideas!

Pazoo, Inc. PZOO

We’re touching base with PZOO this morning to update our readers on what the stock has been up to lately. Many of you will recall the monumental April this stock had; we initiated coverage on April 1st, and PZOO essentially spent the entire month on an uptrend. The total range we observed over the course of the month went from .0049 to .0204, which amounted to an epic 316% swing.

We put the stock on the back burner this month as it consolidated off of those impressive highs, and we want to rehash our interest in this play now that it appears to be headed toward its next leg-up. We’d also suggest that folks check out the PR released by the company on Friday, which alludes to its partner’s ribbon-cutting on the Nevada medical marijuana testing facility that we’ve been anticipating.

We’ve prepared a video outlining the key aspects of the PZOO Chart:

MagneGas Corp. MNGA

We also want to pat ourselves on the back for a timely call of MNGA on Friday. We caught the news release highlighting the company’s contract with the US Navy, and it was enough to send the stock on a respectable intraday rip.

MNGA traded in a daily range from 1.08-1.48, which represented a healthy increase of 37% The move occurred on over 17X the 3-month average trading volume, and the stock closed just under the high of day, so we’ll be interested to see how the action unfolds as we kick off a new trading week today.

Fresh Options Ideas

As we head into the end of another excitement-filled week, we’ve zeroed in on some options ideas for daytrading that could yield positive results. Friday is always an interesting time to trade weekly options; premiums are lowered significantly due to time decay, creating just the kind of high-risk, high-reward environment for which we are always on the lookout.

We have extensively used the options chains of all of the following high-profile stocks to bank enormous gains in the past (PBR Archive, AAPL Archive, NFLX Archive):

Netflix, Inc. NFLX – When we last touched upon NFLX the stock was trading in the high-$300 to $400 range, and since then it has made a monstrous move to its current base in the high-$500’s.

The stock appears to want to gap up this morning into the $600+ range; we’re going to be on the lookout for a dip-and-rip scenario, and as usual, we’ll provide a range where we think the heaviest action will fall- in this case we’re going to monitor NFLX Weekly $595-612.50 Calls.

Strategies may require adjustment on-the-fly as trading kicks off; we’ll start off with in-the-money calls, keeping in mind that we’ll need to roll up our strike prices, should the stock continue to run.

____

Apple, Inc. AAPL – It’s been some time since we ventured into Apple territory. To close out the week, we’re going to be monitoring the Weekly $128 and $129 Calls for potential quick-strike opportunities.

____

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR – This old-time favorite has been on a steady incline since March, and recently has been flirting with the $10-level. That has made the PBR Weekly $10 Calls good for intraday flips all week long, and we wouldn’t be surprised if the same were true today. We’ll need to see the stock hold support at or above 9.85 on any pullbacks in order to remain interested.

MagneGas Corp. MNGA

We want to keep a sharp watch over MNGA which is gapping up on the heels of this morning’s big announcement of a contract with a branch of the US Military.

The company also launched a new website earlier this week that you can check out here: www.magnegas.com

Banro Corp. BAA

We also want to quickly pat ourselves on the back for the timely tag of BAA that we placed in yesterday’s extended watchlist. It was the first time the stock has appeared in our reports in almost a year, and it produced the chance for a nice intraday gain.

From an early low of .2991, BAA traded up to a high of .353, a respectable 18% jump. We’ll keep our eyes on this one into next week.

Extended Watchlist:
PTX, FRO, OSUR, QKLS, BSQR

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: GEVO Recap & More

Gevo, Inc. GEVO

We called attention to GEVO in yesterday morning’s premarket report, citing a high-profile PR in which the company announced an agreement with Alaska Airlines (>>Read PR). What resulted was a stroke of flawless timing, with the stock putting up a record performance on the day, and it put a nice cap on what has been a week of multiple great calls.

The stock started out by gapping up into the 3.50’s, and undergoing the dip we were looking for caused by impatient profit-takers, found its daily low of 3.28 and then it was off to the races! The subsequent high came in at 6.11, an unprecedented 86% intraday rip for GEVO, and it occurred on more than 40X the 3-month average trading volume.

The total increase witnessed as of this morning’s premarket high of 7.43 amounts to 126% and marks the second big-board double-bagger we called this week! (Refer to PTBI for the 1st).

The stock has peeled back into the 6.50-range so we could be in line to see another dip-and-style move from GEVO to close out the week. We’ll want to see it maintain a level of support at or above the new 200DMA of 4.90 on any pullbacks.


Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA

We tagged TSLA in yesterday’s extended watchlist and the stock made a nice move from 220.25 to 237.48. While it translates to an intraday gain of just 8%, the spike caused some serious action in the options chain, which is where we’ll have our attention focused.

The sets of contracts that we’re going to be monitoring for potential opportunities in coming weeks will fall into the range of the 05/22 $230-240 Calls. Our interest, of course, will be predicated upon the stock maintaining support at or above the 200DMA of 227.28.

Motorola Solutions, Inc. MSI

We also want to make a preliminary mention of MSI, which we noticed flirting with levels very near to its 52-week low this week, and it has begun to exhibit signs of a bounce. It’s going to be a stock that we monitor for potential continued rebound action into next week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Great Start to the Short Week

Oncolytics, BioTech, Inc. ONCYJumping off of yesterday’s extended watchlist was ONCY, which not only produced a fruitful session yesterday, but continued to push its upper limits this morning as it touched a premarket high of .90.

After tagging this play yesterday, we witnessed a low of .57 before ONCY took off to set a daily high of .74 (+30%). As of this morning’s premarket high of .90, the stock had registered a total increase of 58%

Lucas Energy, Inc. LEI

LEI put up a pleasing performance as well yesterday. After being included in Friday’s report and making a move from .26 to .362 (+39%), the stock continued its trend, cutting a path from its daily low of .34 on up to .45.

That run marked an intraday gain of 32%, and an overall increase of 73% over our observed low on Friday.

Gevo, Inc. GEVO

GEVO, another inclusion in Friday’s watchlist, also made gains for the second consecutive session, trading in a range from .257-.30 (+17%). At its high, it registered as an increase of 49% from Friday’s low.

MagnaGas Corp. MNGA

MNGAalso appeared on our extended watchlist yesterday, and made a comparatively modest yet solid 16% move during yesterday’s session.

Yesterday’s Options Ideas

We focused on some longer-term ideas with the following two plays yesterday, and despite that fact, were very pleased with the immediate price action.

VASCO Data Security International, Inc. VDSI – The 03/20 $25 Calls we outlined in yesterday’s report made two sizable swings. First, from 5.11-7.10 (+39%) followed by a big pullback to 1.60 before it ripped back to 4.60, adding a huge intraday move equaling 187%

Similar action in the weekly calls at the same strike price (4.91-6.70, .72-4.21) could also have facilitated large gains.

Medtronic plc MDT – In MDT we zeroed in on the 03/20 $77.50 and $80 Calls, and both sets of contracts made big moves for us. The $77.50’s ran from a low of 3.70 and went on to touch 5.90, marking an intraday spike of 60%, and the $80’s would trade in a range from  .36-.83, which is a 130% jump.

Like VDSI, our longer-term idea could have applied to the weekly contracts here as well.

Last Week’s Options Ideas

Heading into the end of last week we had already been on fire with our options calls in prior sessions, and the exciting trend of huge gain opportunities continued on Friday as well. We floated a couple of last minute daytrading ideas in the web security sector with the following plays, and were handsomely rewarded for our efforts:

CyberArk Software, Ltd. CYBR – With CYBR, we were especially interested in the $50 and $55 Calls. The trading range on the $50’s was from 3.30-5.90. and that registered as an intraday gain of 72% The $55’s saw an even larger move from a low of  .85 on up to 2.25, for chances at gains in excess of 165%

FireEye, Inc. FEYE – For FEYE, we targeted the $39.50, $40, and $40.50 Calls, and once again saw our ideas go green across the board. The $39.50 Calls made a move from 1.28-2.96, increasing 131% intraday. The $40’s made a big leap as well, logging a 220% move up from .75-2.40. Finally, traders in the $40.50 Calls had the opportunity for a double-bagger also, with those contracts rising from a low of .59, and reaching their peak at 1.82, a 208% gain.

Gevo, Inc. GEVO & Lucas Energy, Inc. LEI

These two stocks were two standouts from Friday’s extended watchlist. Both plays offered notable intraday moves, and each of them is gapping up even further this morning.

GEVO traded in a range from .201-.24 for an intraday gain of 19%, and this morning’s premarket high of .28 updates that increase to 39%

LEI performed quite well on Friday also, recording an intraday move from .26 to .362 (+39%). Rising as high as .399 in premarket trading today reflects a total gain of 53% that we’ve seen from Friday’s low.

Earnings Beats to Watch

As most of you are aware we’ve had tremendous good fortune this earnings season using exceeded expectations as leverage in some incredible options trades. We’ve got another pair of potential targets this morning which just beat Wall St. estimates:

VASCO Data Security International, Inc. VDSI – Another play in the presently-popular data security industry, our interest in VDSI is currently in the 03/20 $25 Calls (Closed at 5.06 on Friday) We suspect that they will open significantly higher given VDSI’s gapping up in today’s premarket trading.

Medtronic plc MDT – Concerning MDT, we’re going to keep an eye on the 03/20 $77.50 and $80 Calls. That gives us just under a month before expiration, qualifying both of these options ideas as longer-term items.
