Blue Horseshoe Stocks: UAA Update & More

Under Armour, Inc. UAA – Update

We mentioned the possibility of further gains for the calls we signaled in the Under Armour options chain on Tuesday, the UAA Weekly $15.50-16.50 Calls.

The markets pulled a head-fake, and ended up going green, which helped allow the stock to make to more than $18. That created huge opportunities in our highlighted plays, which went quickly from double-baggers on Tuesday, to a triple, a quad, and even an octuple-bagger!

$15.50 Calls – Range: .60-2.50 – Max Gain: 317%
$16 Calls – Range: .34-2.00 – Max Gain: 488%
$16.50 Calls – Range: .16-1.50 – Max Gain: 838%

SPY Weekly $270-272 Calls



Payment Data Systems, Inc. PYDS

We are looking at PYDS as a bottom-bouncer with just the kind of chart setup we like. The stock spent nearly all of January and the beginning of February under heavy consolidation down to its lowest PPS since October. In the last couple of weeks it has shown signs of a solid turnaround.

As you can see below, the RSI is coming off of being oversold and presently cruising toward the 50-line,  the MACD is in the midst of a bullish cross, and yesterday saw the testing of the 200DMA. PYDS also has a recent history of rapid runs up the chart, also visible on the included snapshot, so we’ll be keeping a close eye on it in the coming days.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: VXX Calls & More

Under Armour, Inc. UAA

Our targeted contracts for the UAA options chain worked out fairly well yesterday. We signaled the UAA Weekly $15.50-16.50 Calls. As the stock gapped up and ran over $17, it facilitated the following respectable gain opportunities:

$15.50 Calls – Range: .70-1.60 – Max Gain: 128%
$16 Calls – Range: .57-1.25 – Max Gain: 119%
$16.50 Calls – Range: .35-.85 – Max Gain: 143%

We’ll look for UAA to re-test its 200DMA as it did yesterday to potentially bring further chances, but as it stands, our ideas worked out very well for a single-session play yesterday, so we’re pleased with our calls either way.


iPath S&P 500 VIX ST Futures ETN (VXX) – More Options Ideas

There’s been quite a bit of turbulence in the markets as a whole recently, and this morning it appears as if we could be headed for another down day. If that is indeed the case, we’re going to set ourselves up with a new idea that could produce immediately.

The VXX trades inversely to the markets, so a backslide could effect significant chances to profit through the options chain. We’re going to put a tag on the VXX Weekly $46-50 Calls We’re going to want to look at the SPY as an indicator, and if it falls below 262.62, we’ll be actively tracking these VXX Calls.

BioMarin Pharmaceutical, Inc. BMRN

BioMarin had a really solid performance yesterday after we signaled some contracts in our premarket report, the BMRN 03/16 $80 & 85 Calls. The stock ran from 81.01 to 84.19 facilitating some modest but solid intraday moves in our contracts.

The $80 Calls ran from 4.40-6.00 for a 32% rise, and the $85’s traded from 2.70-3.50, a gain of 26%

With a strong close at 83.28, and a lot of ground to cover to recoup the losses the stock has seen in the month of February, we’ll look for BMRN to establish a more sustained recovery pattern, and we may see some further increases in these contracts, which still have over a month until expiration.


Under Armour, Inc. UAA

We want to formulate an idea for Under Armour on the heels of the company’s earnings report this morning. The stock had already begun to trend off of its bottom a few sessions ago, and despite posting a Q4 loss, sales were better than expected and the stock is gapping up pretty significantly here in the premarket.

We’re going to want to keep tabs on the UAA Weekly $15.50-16.50 Calls, which could bring us sizable gain opportunities in the day or days to come.
