Blue Horseshoe Stocks: More Options Plays

Netflix, Inc. NFLX – Options Idea

On the heels of the company’s solid quarterly report including adding over eight million new subscribers, we selected the NFLX Weekly $247.50-255 Calls as as our options trading targets, even as the stock had already pressed to a new all-time high, and there were high premiums baked into the options prices.

Our bullish hunch turned out to be absolutely correct, with the stock surging out of the gate and ultimately reaching a high of 257.71. A secondary move was there

That move facilitated some very nice intraday opportunities in our designated contracts:

$247.50 Calls – Range: 4.87-8.02 – Max Gain: 65%
$250 Calls – Range: 3.66-6.40 – Max Gain: 76%
$252.50 Calls – Range: 2.68-5.03 – Max Gain: 88%
$255 Calls – Range: 1.90-3.80 – Max Gain: 100%


Fresh Options Ideas

Continuing along the theme of using big name earnings beats as leverage to make quick-strike options trades, we’ve got a a fresh pair this morning. Ford and GE are both coming off of being oversold, compounding the chance for solid runs off of their bottoms.

We’re going to radar some contracts in each chain to try to take advantage of the situation:

Ford Motor Co. F – Feb 2nd $12 & 12.50 Calls

General Electric Co. GE – Weekly $17-18 Calls

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MZEI, SPY Recaps & More

Medizone International, Inc. MZEI

Continuing our recent good fortune with selecting stocks ripe for a rebound off of their 52-week lows, we listed MZEI as a point of interest in yesterday’s premarket report.

We want to quote what we said verbatim, as the stock’s performance so closely coincided with our expectations. We stated: “MZEI fell off a cliff yesterday…We’re going to slate this stock as a potential recovery play- support prior to that epic beating was in the .07-08 range, so we’ll be on the lookout for a rebound back to that region of the chart.”

As the session commenced, MZEI gapped up just past that .07-mark to .07225, and proceeded to run promptly to a daily high of .09, a 25% intraday move, and held a good portion of those gains into an eight-cent close. We’ll keep this one on our radars to watch for the possibility of a sustained rebound.


ETF Options Recap

Both of our options-trading ideas for ETFs worked out nicely yesterday:

Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bull 3X Shares (NUGT) – Our idea of tracking the NUGT Sept. 4th $5 Calls yesterday provided a significant chance for traders to make a double-bagger, as they rose from .27 to a high of .55, marking a total possible profit of 104%

*Side Note* We spotted abnormal volume in the NUGT 09/18 $5-7 Calls during yesterday’s session, so we’ll tag those for observation in coming weeks. NUGT is dipping back in the premarket today, which could provide us with a good buying opportunity.

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) – We flagged SPY Weekly $206 Calls in our extended watchlist yesterday, and were instantaneously rewarded. Those contracts ran hard, jumping from a low of 1.08 all the way up to 3.24. That was good for a nice, round, 200% jump on the day, so congrats to any of our readers who took advantage of the heads up!


Eleven Biotherapeutics, Inc. EBIO

We also want to observe activity in EBIO as we head into week’s end. On Wednesday, they provided an update on one of their clinical trials, and this morning they’ve got an earnings drop (Links Below), leading to another premarket gap-up. We’ve pointed out the key aspects on the following chart snapshot, including the fact that an normous gap exists, the fillinf of which could mean significant added gains.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: IMGN, AURI Reviews & More

ImmunoGen, Inc. IMGN

We were hoping for a strong start to the week yesterday, and IMGN was among those stocks to provide us with the spark to get it going. We tagged this play in yesterday’s extended watchlist after noticing it gapping up pretty heavily in the premarket.

From its opening price of 11.48, the stock soared as high as 15.88, a single session spike of 38% on volume that exceeded the 3-month average by more than ten times.

We’ll always continue to keep watch over a stock on the tail-end of such a momentous burst, as there may be rebound opportunities presenting themselves on any pullbacks.


Auri, Inc. AURI

Speaking of bounceplays, AURI ended up turning in an impressive intraday performance yesterday. Just as we were patting ourselves on the back for catching a 92% pop in the stock on Friday, we explicitly suggested that there could be added opportunities forthcoming, stating:

“We won’t disregard the possibility of a bounceplay once the stock establishes firm support, so we’ll be on the lookout for that.”

We didn’t have to keep a lookout for long, because after dipping down to find support at .003 quite early in the session, the stock banged out another huge move for us, running all the way up to .0064. That marked an intraday swing of 113% and occurred on nearly three times the monthly average volume.

We’ll keep our eyes on the price action as the week progresses, being interested to see how this morning’s publications of New Shareholder Updates & Current Status and new sales distribution channels are received.


Oncothyreon, Inc. ONTY

We also flagged ONTY in yesterday’s report, and it made a notable intraday move as well. The stock traded in a range from 3.78-4.69, providing folks with the chance at modest intraday gains of up to 24%

Our timing in re-alerting this play yesterday was beautiful, as the daily high also registered as a new 52-week high. When calculated from our observed low of 2.80 following our initial alert on the stock on May 22nd, it comes in at an overall increase of 67% in just over a week’s time.


DirectView Holdings, Inc. DIRV

As we’re all aware, 2015 has been a year of heightened tensions between civilians and law enforcement, showing the growing need for more oversight into police operations. We successfully used the beginning of this trend to trade TASR options earlier this year, and we’re going to radar DIRV as a similar type of play in the microcap arena .

Like TASR, the company produces body-worn cameras, the implementation of which has been an exponentially growing trend in cities across the country this year. This morning we learned that the company has been testing on a special line of the products that includes mobile broadband technology. >> READ PR

In addition, DIRV is building a cherry of a chart at the moment, as we point out with the annotations below. We’ll place it on our watchlist moving forward.


PLUG Power, Inc PLUG

We recently rementioned an old favorite, PLUG, and said that we wanted to see it get back  to trading above its 50DMA and the stock has done that. It has been doing a good job of holding support above that mark (Currently 2.61) and we wanted to point out the PR that hit the wires this morning.
