DRRX Update, FDX Options

DURECT Corp. DRRX – Review

With one half session remaining before the midweek holiday hiatus, and the earnings calendar once again void of activity, we want to circle back to a recent mention of ours in DRRX. We placed the stock on our radar last month on the 12th, and in the roughly five weeks since, it had really begun to put up some solid performances.

Subsequent to its inclusion in our premarket report on 11/12, DRRX registered a low of 1.72, and yesterday the stock once again registered a new high of 3.00. That’s an overall increase of 74% The stock also closed just a few cents below its high of day, so we’ll continue to keep an eye on its activity.


FedEx Corp. FDX – Fresh Options Idea

FedEx recently reversed and bounced off of its lows, and now appears to be in position to begin filling a gap on the chart. In anticipation of this we are going to place a range of calls in the FDX chain on longer term watch.

We;re going to go out to the FDX 01/31 $157.50-160 Calls to continue to track through the holidays and into the new year.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Multiple Updates

FutureLand Corp. FUTL

After already showing us a multi-bag swing from our initial alert on Friday to new highs on Monday, FUTL put up another solid performance yesterday. The stock traded in an intraday range from .0024 in the morning, and edged it way up all day to hit a new high of .0037 shortly before 2PM. That works out to a 54% push on the day, accompanied by roughly six times the monthly average volume.  .

From our observed low of .0012 on Friday, the stock has now managed a three-session swing amounting to 308% and will hold our interest as long as it continues to register higher base levels of support.


Apple, Inc. AAPL  – Options Recap

We figured to take advantage for the hype surrounding Apple for its big iPhone 8/X event, and there was enough price action and volatility throughout the day so as to present two separate opportunities for intraday swing trades.

We were looking at the AAPL Weekly $160 & $162.50 Calls, each of which exhibited the same pattern of an early run, followed by a dip-and-rip for a secondary move in the afternoon.

The $160’s first ran from 2.44-4.58 (+88%), and then from 1.07-1.98 (+85%), while the $162.50’s traded from 1.29-2.77 (+115%) initially, followed by a later move from .45-.80 (+78%). All in all, some nice activity for our first AAPL calls in quite some time.


 Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. CBRL

Drawing us to CBRL this morning is a solid setup on the chart with the stock having recently reversed off of a bottom, in conjuction with a premarket earnings beat.  This is just the sort of scenario we’re always scanning for, and in this instance, we’re going to formulate both a shorter and longer-term options idea.

We’re going to place the CBRL Weekly $150 & 151.50 Calls as well as the 10/20 $155 Calls on watch in the days and week ahead.


Honorable Mentions:

Forterra, Inc. FRTA – After tagging FRTA in Friday’s premarket report, we’ve seen a pretty nice uptrend from the stock. It’s traded up from 3.66 to 5.25, a move of 43% We’ll want to continue to monitor its activity as we head through midweek.

Quotient Ltd. QTNT – We had QTNT in yesterday’s watchlist, and want to continue to track it after it made a similar move.  Also from a low of 3.66, QTNT saw a subsequent high of 5.14, which comes out to an intraday pop of 40%
