Stock and Options Recaps, Fresh Plays

Monday’s Runners:

We opened up the fresh trading week yesterday on solid footing, having formulated three options trading ideas in our premarket report. All three of those plays produced admirable intraday runs for us, continuing one heck of a run of success for our daily selections record.

The plays of the day for Monday were the SPY 08/08 $414-416 Calls, the CVNA Weekly $47.50-48.50 Calls, and the PLTR Weekly $10.50-10 Puts. While the gains were not eye-popping in comparison to some of the other huge runners we’ve hit on in the past week, they were still quite solid.

Solar Integrated Roofing Corp. SIRC – Recap:

We would also like to give a quick update on SIRC, which is an OTC stock that has appeared in our extended watchlists multiple times recently, beginning on July 29th. Subsequent to that report, the stock was trading for as little as ..22. As of this morning’s new premarket high of .61, we’ve seen an increase of 177% from SIRC in just over a week’s worth of trading days.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: NLSN Update & More

Neilsen N.V. NLSN

One of the items of interest from our premarket report yesterday morning was a selection of options ideas, including the NLSN  09/21 $25-27 Calls. Despite being a longer-term set of ideas, with more than a month until expiration, it still paid instant single-session dividends.

$43 Calls – Range: .65-1.05 – Max Gain:  62%
$43.50 Calls – Range: .50-.70 – Max Gain: 40%
$44 Calls – Range: .33-.50 – Max Gain: 51%

The gains weren’t eye-popping but it was definitely a good start, with the NLSN chart still boasting a sizable gap to the upside which was only partially filled by yesterday’s activity. We’ll continue to monitor the situation.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Cannabis Reminder

CANNABIS REMINDER

We took full advantage of the recent earnings season with a ton of great options ideas, but things are cooling down on that front for the moment. To start off this week, we’ll put our ever-continuing options search on hold for today, to bring our readers an annual reminder.

Each year as the summer season begins to wind down, we like to pull together a sizable watchlist for the cannabis space. The Autumn season has traditionally been the legal and medical marijuana industries’ most active in terms of movement on charts. The pattern has repeated itself year after year, so with the market appearing relatively quiet at the moment, now is a good time to reassert our interest in cannabis sector stocks for the coming of the fall rush.

The following is not an exhaustive list, merely a few old favorites, but we ensourage our readers to seek out and monitor any stock that is related to the field:

AGTK, ACBFF, CANN, NGTF, MSRT, POTN, PNTV, CNBX, OWCP


Avalon Holdings Corp. AWX

We’d also like to quickly share the performance of AWX following its inclusion in our premarket watchlist on Friday. Early on in the session, the stock ran from a low of 4.52, and went on to hit 6.79, which works out to a respectable intraday pop of 50%  That was sufficient to register as the NASDAQ’s #2 mover on the day.
