Netflix, Inc. NFLX – Options Recap

On Tuesday morning after Netflix came out with its quarterly report and soundly exceeded expectations, we entered an options idea for the NFLX chain into the log in our premarket report.

We followed up with a recap of the gains made possible on Wednesday, which ranged from 65-100% but after a continuation of its bullish trend through yesterday, we observed some excellent new highs.24.50-

So we want to finish off the week by updating the figures on the total possible gains in our highlighted NFLX contracts, from Tuesday’s lows to yesterday’s highs.

Fresh Idea:
Intel Corp. INTC Weekly $47.50-48.50*

*Please do not attempt to trade weekly options on a Friday unless you are an expert level trader with disposable funds. It’s one of the riskiest activities out there!


MannKind Corp. MNKD

We’ve been following MNKD for quite a long while, that’s why at the end of last month when we saw the stock fall to its lowest PPS since before the huge run back in the fall, we immediately signaled it as a bottom-watch play.

That was the morning of December 22nd, just prior to the holiday break. The stock saw its low of 2.30 the following session, on December 26th, and has since recovered much of the ground it had lost. Yesterday, possibly as the result of a short squeeze, the stock soared to a high of 4.05. That works out to a respectable 76% upswing in just one month’s time.

It remains to be seen if the stock can retest the impressive highs we saw from it back in October.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FDX, RAS Recaps & More

FedEx Corp. FDX

On Tuesday morning, we had a set FDX options ideas that were among our main focal points. Avid readers will recall that we signaled our interest in Weekly FDX $140-145 Calls, and over the course of the last three days, with the exception of the $140’s, each set of contracts put up noteworthy intraweek swings.

The following trading ranges represent the lows from the day of our initial calls to yesterday’s highs:

$141 Calls – Trading Range: 4.06-12.19  – Max Gain: 200%
$142 Calls – Trading Range: 3.39-14.40  – Max Gain: 325%
$143 Calls – Trading Range: 2.98-11.86  – Max Gain: 299%
$144 Calls – Trading Range: 2.55-10.65 – Max Gain: 318%
$145 Calls – Trading Range: 3.01-11.60 – Max Gain: 285%


RAIT Financial Trust  RAS

We’d also like to update our readers on the progress of RAS since we tagged it as a possible bottom play on Tuesday after noticing it recording new 52-week lows on Monday. The stock has managed to post gains for each of the three sessions since then, meaning that our timing in catching the bottom was essentially flawless.

Our observed low on RAS was 2.30, and it gradually stair-stepped its way to a high of 2.84 yesterday. That marks a steady rise of 23% and a confirmed three-day uptrend, the continued signs of which we’ll be watching for in coming sessions.

Fresh Options Idea –  Blackberry Ltd. BBRY

BBRY is gapping up on earnings beat this morning- Wall Street was expecting a fourteen-cent loss per share and the company only posted a three-cent loss per share. We’ll look to take advantage of the current conditions by looking for a dip-and-rip on BBRY. If things go as we suspect they might, we’ll want to watch Weekly 7.50-8.50 Calls for what could be significant intraday swings today.

Cardinal Resources, Inc. CDNL

We were tracking CDNL at the end of last month and the stock went on to make a nice move of 167%  as it ran from .0225 to .06. After consolidating down to a low of .03 last Tuesday, it has made another nice move to yesterday’s high of .068, another swing of 147%

We’ll keep CDNL on our radars moving forward, watching for the setting of higher highs and higher lows. There still appears to be room for the chart to grow in the near-term.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: RAS Update, Options & More

RAIT Financial Trust RAS

RAS was a point of focus in yesterday’s premarket report. We highlighted it as a stock that had been hammered back for the better part of the past two months, which was long overdue for a rebound.

Timing just doesn’t get any better, with RAS having just registered a brand new 52-week low in the previous session, the reversal we were after occurred as the stock traded in a daily range from a low of 2.30 on up to 2.57. While only a modest 12% increase, we’ll be very interested to continue monitoring RAS in impending sessions. The stock closed just a few pennies below the HOD on roughly 4.5X the 3-month average volume.

We’ll look for RAS to keep logging higher lows and establish a sustained recovery, and remember, there’s a gap on the chart beginning at around 3.15, the filling of which would put the price back at $4.

New Options Idea – The Walt Disney Co. DIS

There’s an unusual amount of excitement surrounding Disney this week, with Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the seventh movie in the Star Wars franchise set to hit theaters on Friday.

Add in the recent revelation that Alibaba (BABA) has teamed up with the company to distribute Disney films in China through a new device called DisneyLife, and we’re very interested in the potential activity these events could fuel in the DIS options chain.

As a result, we want to track contracts in the range of Weekly DIS $112-116 Calls for quick-strike chances, to try and take advantage of the current excitement. The stock is gapping up significantly in the premarket, so we’ll be on the lookout for an early dip-and-rip.
