Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Post-Earnings Options Plays

Energizer Holdings, Inc. ENR 

We’ve been seeking out prime bottom play opportunities this week, and to continue that trend, we’ve run across Energizer this morning on the heels of the stock registering a new annual low yesterday.

In conjunction with the fact that Deutsche Bank just upgraded ENR from a Hold to a Buy rating with a price target of $52/share (trading in the $37-range yesterday), along with indicators that the stock is heavily oversold, and we are confident in calling this one a prime bottom play candidate as well.

Fresh Options Plays 

We also have a pair of fresh earnings-related options ideas to pass along this morning. Post-earnings plays are typically our miost successful, and we’ve got a couple of good hunches about the following contracts as we cruise through this midweek. 

FedEx Corp. FDX –  Already in a good spot on the chart for a possible rebound leading into today’s session with a strong double-bottom setup, we’re looking to FDX options as FedEx’s Q4 results yielded a profits and earnings beat. As a result, we’re going to be tracking the FDX Weekly $157.50-60 Calls.

Micron Technology, Inc. MU – We are also looking at MU, which reported in the post-market yesterday as well, posting a beat on Q3 earnings, and bolstered guidance for sales of computer memory chips. Like the above mentioned play, MU is giving off a heavy multi-bottom signal. In this case we are interested in monitoring the MU Weekly $35-36.50 Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AVGO Options Recap & More

Broadcom, Inc. AVGO – Recap

To close out the week on Friday, we took our usual approach in signaling some last-minute options ideas for possible daytrades. In this particular case, we were attracted to the AVGO Weekly $252.50-257.50 Calls, and we’re pleased to report total success on that front, with the help of an eleven-dollar swing from AVGO shares themselves.

All three of the contract sets contained within our designated range produced impressive gain opportunities on the day. The total possible profits for daytraders on each set were as follows: 

$252.50 Calls – Range: 7.95-13.65 – Max Gain: 72%
$255 Calls – Range: 6.14-11.00 – Max Gain: 95%
$257.50 Calls – Range: 2.70-8.00 – Max Gain: 196%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: LLNKF Update

LiteLink Technologies, Inc. (OTCMKTS:LLNKF)(CSE:LLT) – Update

This morning, we are taking another look back at LLNKF, a stock we provided our readers with a special report on just a few sessions ago, on Thursday.

In the following day’s report, we commented on LLNKF’s move from a low of .1157 on up to .197 (+70%), and explicitly stated: “we definitely want to be on the lookout for a possible continuation of momentum. We’ll look for this play to register higher highs and higher lows and continue this bullish uptrend.”

On Friday the stock increased its high by a slight margin, and yesterday, ramped up even further. This time, it hit a new high of .30, which marks a fantastic three-session upswing and total gain opportunity of 159% Yesterday’s performance came on the stock’s highest volume on record.

Anytime we see a stock double from our initial alert, it’s always a great idea to take risk out of the equation, by taking half of the investment off of the table. This way, we’re playing with the house’s money, and always in a position to where any further gains are pure profit. Another smart tactic is to use a mental stop-loss order at a key support level. Yesterday’s swing low of .1993 would be a good area to do just that. So for example, if the PPS drops below that key support, it might be a good idea to lock in the rest of our profits. These are just a couple tricks of the trade that we like to go by.

The TJX Companies. Inc.  TJX – Fresh Options Idea

Also catching our attention this morning is the TJX chain, with the company producing favorable Q1 figures in this morning’s release. With a solid beat on earnings, and bolstered full year guidance, things are in good shape for a potential options trade here.

We’re going to place the TJX 06/21 $52.50-55 Calls on watch to correlate with the activity that we’re observing here in the premarket.
