Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Stocks & Options Movers

General Mills, Inc. GIS – Options Idea

As our regular readers are perfectly aware, we never stop looking for earnings related options plays. Even now, amid a relative lull in quarterly reports, we’re seeing an interesting possibility with General Mills.

After its Q4 earnings report this morning, wherein a solid beat on profits was achieved, the stock is up to the tune of 2% in the premarket. There is also a large gap on the chart to the $50-area. In this situation, we’re interested in tracking the GIS Weekly $45 & $47.50 Calls for the remainder of the week.


TransEnterix, Inc. TRXC

We wanted to come back to comment on TRXC this morning as well. We tagged this stock for observation just a shade over a month ago on May 23rd, and since that time, the stock has enjoyed a very solid uptrend which has led to new highs this week.

On the day of our initial alert on TRXC, we had observed a low of 2.82, and the srtock never fell below that point. Yesterday’s new high came in at 5.70, marking an upswing of 102% in a matter of four and-a-half weeks!



Kopin Corp. KOPN

For something new to put on our radars this morning we also want to make mention of KOPN. As you can on the annotated chart below, at the present time, KOPN is displaying a strong multiple bottom formation, in addition to having just reached heavily oversold territory.

We are going to place KOPN on watch in the days ans perhaps weeks ahead and will be interested to see how it behaves with this cherry of a technical setup.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Potential Gap-Fillers & More

Hyatt Hotels Corp. H – Options Idea

We’re going to kick this week off by taking a look at Hyatt Hotels. This is a stock with a relatively predictable and volatile trading pattern. As you can see on the chart, H is coming down off of a quadruple-top formation, with indicators suggesting a significant bearish swing could occur at any time.

We want to designate a pair of contracts in the H options chain to track over the next week or two to coincide with this assumption. We’re going to slate the H 06/15 $85 & $80 Puts for observation as we kick off this fresh trading week.


Potential Gap-Fillers

We are going to flag Vista Outdoor, Inc. VSTO and Harbinger Group, Inc. HRG for technical reasons as well today, with each stock boasting a highly similar setup.

If you notice the side-by-side view of the charts below, both stocks have been working their way up off of a bottom, with a huge gap on the chart to the upside just waiting to be filled. We see these setups often, and in both cases here, the chances for a gap-fill appear greater than average.
