Interesting Technical Setups & More

Yesterday’s Earnings Plays: 

Two of our fresh options plays for yesterday’s report were weekly calls, and despite a mixed session for the markets as a whole, they experienced appreciable intraday moves. The activity in the MRVL Weekly $49-51 Calls and the SFIX Weekly $61.50-65 Calls didn’t blow the lid off of anything, but we did witness some highly respectable gain opportunities.

MRVL Weekly $49-51 Calls
$49: 
1.06-1.92 (+81%)
$50: .62-1.23 (+98%)
$51: .34-.68 (+100%)

Interesting Chart Plays:

Also catching our eye this morning are a couple of interesting chart setups in FibroGen, Inc. FGEN and Fastly, Inc. FSLY, and in both cases we will be watching the stocks as well as some potential options ideas.

In the case of FGEN, there are a couple of large gaps to fill to the upside, and over the past couple of sessions the stock has given indication that it may be about to do so. We’re going to be tagging the FGEN 07/16 $27.50-30 Calls for observation.

On FSLY, the gap-fill has occurred this week and the PPS is now on the verge of breaking past the 50DMA with its considerable momentum. We’ll radar the FSLY 06/25 $61-63 Calls.

Form-4 Bottom Play & More

SPDR S&P500 (ETF) SPY

We are still actively tracking the options targets we designated in the SPY chain in Tuesday’s premarket report which were the SPY Weekly $340-341 Calls. We got some pretty nice intraday gain opportunities in the 60-80% range early Tuesday, but the following upswing that we observed in these plays yesterday was far better.

The $340 Calls registered another run from .98-3.28, which marks a 235% move, while the $341’s ran from .75-2.65, for a 253% rip.

Fresh Options Idea:
DPZ Weekly $427.50-417.50 Puts 


Arcutis Biotherapeutics Inc. ARQT – Form-4 Bottom Bouncer

Following multiple Form-4 submissions to the tune of over $12M each last week, ARQT sold off and began to establish just the type of chart setup we are always on the lookout for. A recently tanked stock with a gap on the chart to the upside, that is establishing a trend off of that bottom.

Combined with the recent insider purchases, and it makes for a stock that we need to have on our watchlist in the weeks, and perhaps even months ahead.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Weekly Winners Review

Weekly Winners Review

Yesterday was a great day for so many of the ideas we’ve been discussing this week, leaving our normal routine seemingly unaffected by the holidays.  That being said, we’d like to wish all of our readers a prosperous holiday season! 2016 was yet another great year, and we’re already very excited about making 2017 even better!

Micron Technologies, Inc. MU – First up, we’ve got an update on the options idea that we included in yesterday’s premarket report. We signaled the MU Weekly $22-23.50 Calls on the heels of the company’s solid earnings call on Wednesday. All four of the sets of contracts in that range provided big-time gain opportunities:

$22 Calls – Range: .88-1.47 – Max Gain: 67%
$22.50 Calls – Range: .47-1.00 – Max Gain: 113%
$23 Calls – Range: .24-.58 – Max Gain: 142%
$23.50 Calls – Range: .10-.29 – Max Gain: 190%
_____

ERF Wireless, Inc. ERFB – After first alerting ERFB a week ago today, we’ve tracked the stock throughout this week, and witnessed a great run from a low of .0013, to yesterday’s high of  .0085. That worked out to an excellent intraweek swing of 554%
_____

Globalstar, Inc. GSAT – Speaking of momentum plays, that’s just what GSAT was when we caught it on Monday morning. It had already strung together four sessions of higher highs, and has managed to maintain that trend for another four! We’ve witnessed an additional increase of 60% from our observed low of 1.25 to yesterday’s new high of 2.00 on heavy volume throughout the week.
_____

Momentous Entertainment Group, Inc. MMEG – We tagged MMEG in Wednesday morning’s premarket report, and that one has made a very nice two-day swing as well. From a low of .0017 to it reached .0038, which represents a 123% spike.
_____

Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. IMMY – We also just want to remind readers of a signal we gave yesterday morning on IMMY, which had just begun to show signs of a bottom-bounce in the previous session. The stock did continue that trend with a modest 17% move to the upside, trading from a low of 2.12 to 2.48. The jump did occur on well over five times the 3-month average volume, so we’ll continue to observe this play, which has a chance to confirm its multi-day runner status with strong finish to the week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SUNE, DIS Updates & More

SunEdison, Inc. SUNE

We first began mentioning SUNE last month, as we were noticing the stock had been steadily beaten back since midsummer. We placed the stock on bottom-watch and since reaching its ultimate low of 2.55 on November 20th, it has been making steady strides to the upside.

We tagged the stock for more intensive tracking in yesterday’s premarket report, and were met with even more advances. SUNE put forth a modest but solid 15% increase as it traded in a range from 5.65-6.47. From our observed low just a few weeks ago, SUNE has produced an overall increase of 154%  We’ll continue to stay hot on its trail for as long as the bullish trend remains intact.


Options Recap – The Walt Disney Co. DIS

We were able to take advantage of the excitement surrounding DIS yesterday morning by submitting Weekly DIS $112-116 Calls for tracking, and in what seems like it’s become a regular occurrence for us, each and every set of contracts in our specified range made excellent intraday moves.

Here are the gains that were possible during yesterday’s session with these calls:

$112 Calls – Trading Range: 1.25-2.32  – Max Gain: 86%
$113 Calls – Trading Range: .80-1.58  – Max Gain: 98%
$114 Calls – Trading Range: .46-.95 – Max Gain: 107%
$115 Calls – Trading Range: .29-.54 – Max Gain: 86%
$116 Calls – Trading Range: .16-.29 – Max Gain: 81%


More Chatroom Success

Our good friend and chatroom participant, DJ, was up to his old tricks yesterday, entering yet another winning play into the mix.

NUVI was .008 x .009 at the time of DJ’s post (pictured above) and the stock ended up pushing to .0272 for an awesome 240% intraday surge.

Once again, a great example of why its a good idea to participate in our daily trader’s chats. To get involved, just send a Skype request to ‘stocksumo’.


Fresh Options Ideas – AAPL

This morning we’re looking to AAPL for a possible rally; the stock is gapping up and thus we will be looking for a potential dip-and-rip scenario. We are going to want to keep the Weekly $111-113 Calls on watch for today and tomorrow.

In the event AAPL pushes past the $113-mark, we’d of course look to roll up our strike prices to the $114’s and possibly even $115’s, depending on the magnitude of the surge.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Yesterday’s Big Winners & More

 

Lululemon Athletica, Inc. LULU

LULU was our options trading target yesterday as we noticed the stock gapping down more than 10% in the premarket on an ill-received earnings report.

The idea we had was to track each set of contracts within the range of LULU Weekly $47-44.50 Puts for possible intraday swing-trade opportunities. It ultimately turned out to be an awesome call, with blockbuster moves being produced by every single set we’d highlighted.

$47 Puts  – Trading Range:  .19-2.01  – Max Gain: 958%
$46.50 Puts – Trading Range: .13-1.59   – Max Gain: 1123%
$46 Puts  – Trading Range: .09-1.25  – Max Gain: 1288%
$45.50 Puts – Trading Range: .10-.94   – Max Gain: 840%
$45 Puts  – Trading Range: .05-.75  – Max Gain: 1400%
$44.50 Puts – Trading Range: .05-.52   – Max Gain: 940%

Perhaps the most astonishing thing is that single-session gains of this magnitude have become commonplace for our options ideas, as anyone who has followed our reports for awhile can attest. It’s the primary reason behind our shift over the last couple of years as we’ve moved to split our focus between what we like to call quick-strike options trading, and securities trading. The integration of options trading has opened up a lot of doors for us on a consistent basis, and we expect that trend to continue indefinitely.


Premier Biomedical, Inc.  BIEI

We had just finished commenting on the big moves BIEI has been making in yesterday morning’s report, and once again the stock pushed to new highs in what amounted to a very bullish session.

So after witnessing a 121% run from .015-.0334 on Tuesday, we were treated to another big intraday pop as BIEI ran from .0305 to .0529; a solid 73%

We also put together a video illustrating various facets of the BIEI chart:


USA Restaurant Funding, Inc. USAR

USAR was tagged in yesterday’s premarket report on our extended watchlist, and it too produced a significant move on the day, gradually ramping up throughout the course of the afternoon and running into the close.

From a low of .0015 the stock fell just a tick shy of a double-bagger, reaching a new 52-week high of .0029. It marked an intraday performance that allowed maximum gains of up to 93%
