Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Ideas & More

Gilead Sciences, Inc. GILD – Options

We’ve been hot on the trail of GILD Calls since Wednesday, when we brought forth the idea of using the $97 and $98 Calls to take advantage of GILD recovery from a beating it had taken following a mixed-result earnings call. Both sets of contracts brought us the chance to make major gains that day, with the 97’s and 98’s making moves of 226% and 253% respectively.

We reaffirmed our interest in those same calls in yesterday’s premarket report, and for the second day in a row, we were extremely pleased with the intraday opportunities afforded to us.

The $97 Calls, after trading as low as .79, would go on to set a daily high of 2.20, a 178% rip. The $98 Calls went on a run from 1.27 to as much as 3.05, a 140% increase.

Cheers go out to anyone else who was able to take advantage of our meticulous coverage of this excellent play this mid-week. It’s just the latest in a long line of great options trading ideas we’ve had so far in 2015, so even if you’ve missed everything up to this point, you’re not too late, because we have no intention of slowing down now!

Fresh Options Ideas

Twitter, Inc. TWTR

Twitter had an earnings beat post-market yesterday, and as a result the stock is gapping up significantly this morning. Our next potential area of interest is going to be with the TWTR $45 Calls. (Last Traded @ 1.00)

LinkedIn Corp. LNKD

Another social media earnings beater was LNKD, and in this case we’re going to be looking at Calls in the $260-263 range.  ($260’s last trade: 2.32 –  $262.50’s last trade: 2.00)

Rich Pharmaceuticals, Inc. RCHA

In addition to yesterday’s successful options plays was a stock we also mentioned in our morning report that went on to behave exactly as we predicted.

After making a huge run that topped 1700% the day prior, we mentioned our expectation that RCHA would pull back off of its extreme highs and offer us a subsequent bounceplay, and indeed it did.

The stock came down as low as .0091 before recovering to a daily high of .019. That was good for gains of up to 109% on the rebound.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Landmark Week for Options

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options
–
We targeted AAPL Options for the first time in several months this week, and our timing in re-entering the mix was extremely fortuitous. Just to break it down for those who may have missed the bulk of this week’s coverage, we entered our ideas in Wednesday’s premarket report, citing AAPL Calls in the range of $113-117 as being high interest.

Things worked out great that first day, with three sets of call contracts in that range ($114, $115, $116) yielding up gains ranging from 167%-235%  AAPL continued to surge yesterday as it briefly breached the $119-mark, and as a result, those highs on our tracked calls were pushed significantly higher.

The $114 Calls, from Wednesday’s low of 2.23, managed to reach as high as 5.20, equal to an overnight increase of 133%

The $115 Calls saw their low at 1.58, and at the peak of yesterday’s session were trading for as much as 4.20. That marks a two-day jump of 166%

The $116 Calls overall move was also very impressive, ranging from 1.10-3.25, gains of up to 195% were made possible.

At the high end of our initial range of interest were the $117 Calls, which hit an early low of .45 yesterday, and subsequently touched a high of 2.35, registering as a single session move of 422% All in all, there was really no way to go wrong with our AAPL Calls this week following a big earnings beat by the tech giant.

Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN – Options

Speaking of exceeded expectations on earnings, AMZN smashed its previous two-quarter trend of losses by posting Q4 profits of $214M on just over $29B in sales. As a result, the stock spiked significantly, and continues to do so in this morning’s premarket. To take advantage of the resultant price action as we did with AAPL, we’ll be outlining some options ideas for AMZN as well.

For a possible intraday flip opportunities we’re looking at the Weekly $345 (Last traded: 1.49) and $350 Calls (Last traded: 1.24). For more of a longer-term interest, we’ll  keep an eye on the 02/20 $350 Calls (Last traded: 3.25).
