Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Ideas, Chatroom Call & More

Options Update

Medivation, Inc. MDVN

The fresh idea that we produced in yesterday’s morning report was a rousing success. We had our sights set on MDVN Weekly $41.50-43.50 Calls as outlined in our watchlist, and from within that range came multiple chances for outstanding intraday gains.

$42 Calls – Trading Range: .54-4.29 – Max Gain: 694%
$42.50 Calls – Trading Range: 1.75-3.70 – Max Gain: 111%
$43 Calls – Trading Range: .80- 2.07 – Max Gain: 159%\

The stock is gapping up drastically in the premarket, so we expect it to add to those gains this morning.

Fresh Ideas:

Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA – Today we’re going to hone in on TSLA Weekly $240-250 Calls* for possible daytrades.

ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures UVXY – The markets don’t seem to be responding well to the new jobs figures. Our related target is going to be Weekly UVXY $19-21 Calls*.

*Don’t forget, trading weekly options on Friday is very risky. Not to be attempted if you’re anything less than an expert trader!


Bottom-Watchlist Updates

RCPI, TWER, SKYS, UAMY

Yesterday morning, we gave our readers a heads-up on four big board plays that were trading at relative bottoms that we wanted to watch for rebound activity. While it was the most pronounced in SKYS, all four of them produced some level of intraday upswing.

Sky Solar Holdings Ltd. SKYS – As we said, the clear winner for the session was SKYS which rode a wave of upward momentum from a morning low of 1.30 to a subsequent high of 2.58. That gave anyone who caught our alert a chance at gains of up to 98% on the day! The ranges and gains on the remaining trio of bottom plays were as follows:

Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. RCPI – Range: .295-.365  – Gained: 24%

United States Anitmony Corp. UAMY – Range: .1997-.243 – Gained: 22%

Towerstream Corp. TWER – Range: .1099-.129 – Gained: 17%

We’ll leave all four on our radars in sessions to come to spy for signs of continued recoveries, with the recording of higher lows and higher highs.

Strikeforce Technologies, Inc. SFOR

We also had SFOR come off of our extended watchlist to put up a solid session. The stock ran from a low of .0007 and reached .0013 for an 86% intraday rip.

Friday Recap: Huge Options Success

Even during such times when big stock gainers are difficult to come by, we’ve managed to balance the scales with some excellent options ideas. It hasn’t been just a few either, a fact to which our regular readers can surely attest. It’s been one great idea after another, and Friday’s premarket report included still more premium chances for big intraday profits!

Our specific targets were UVXY Weekly $33-35 Calls, and SPY Weekly 205-203.50 Puts and there were no contracts within the specified ranges that didnt make an appreciable move during the session. The epic moves were as follows:

Pro-Shares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures (UVXY) Calls
$33 Calls – Trading Range: 1.01-4.70 – Max Gain: 365%
$33.50 Calls – Trading Range: .80-4.13 – Max Gain: 416%
$34 Calls – Trading Range: .59-3.70 – Max Gain: 527%
$34.50 Calls – Trading Range: .45-2.82 – Max Gain: 526%
$35 Calls – Trading Range: .26-2.85 – Max Gain: 996%

SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) Puts
$205 Puts – Trading Range: .78-2.63  – Max Gain: 237%
$204.50 Puts – Trading Range: .54-2.17 – Max Gain: 302%
$204 Puts – Trading Range: .33-1.60 – Max Gain: 385%
$203.50 Puts – Trading Range: .20-1.17 – Max Gain: 485%

Big cheers go out to any of our readers who were with us on these monstrously successful calls (and puts) on Friday! As we said, most of the options ideas we’ve been formulating have been home runs, and these plays were no different.

___

As a bonus idea, we included a flag of the FitBit, Inc. FIT  Weekly $30 and 29 Puts, and some stellar gains were possible there as well:

$30 Puts – Trading Range: 1.00-2.80  – Max Gain: 180%
$29 Puts – Trading Range: .54-2.17 – Max Gain: 302%


Bottom-Watch Plays

Magnum Hunter Resources Corp. MHRC

We’re going to signal our interest in MHRC as a potential bottom-play this morning, and a quick viewing of the chart will show why. The stock has been beaten senseless in recent sessions, and is well into what we’d characterize as heavily oversold territory. It has managed to register higher lows in each of the past three sessions, so we’ll be watching for a continuation of that trend up off of the recently recorded 52-week low.

___

SunEdison, Inc. SUNE

We’ve had our eye on SUNE as the apparently undervalued stock was searching for a bottom. We were looking for solid signs that it had found that bottom and was readying for a rebound, and over the past couple of sessions, we’ve seen the signals we were after. We’re going to officially place this one on watch as we kick off a new week, as we feel the stock to be grossly undervalued at the current PPS.


Trader’s Chat Winner

We also want to give a quick shout-out to DJ from our live trader’s chat* on Friday, who called out the NFLX $105 Puts which subsequently ran from .25-1.63 (+552%). Cheers, DJ!

*Remember, any of our valued readers has to do to get in on our daily trader’s chats, is log into (or create) your Skype account and send a contact request to ‘stocksumo’. We’d be happy to allow any interested parties to participate!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: New Options Ideas, Rebound Play & More

JC Penney Company Inc. JCP – Options Review

If you recall yesterday’s premarket report, we were targeting some JCP options calls to play off of the anticipation of this morning’s earnings release. Our idea returned some nice opportunities for intraday gains. We were specifically looking to the JCP Weekly $8.50 Calls for these chances, and those contracts traded in a range from .39-61 during yesterday’s session. That made it possible for traders to bank up to 56% in intraday profits.

As for JCP’s Q3 earning release, expectations were exceeded and yet the stock is still down considerably in the premarket. Many people are citing an overall struggle for the retail sector as a whole this quarter as the reasoning behind some of the less-than-spectacular performances we’re seeing.

Fresh Options Ideas:

To finish out the week, we’ll formulate a couple of quick-strike options ideas to correspond with the general sentiment of the markets this morning. Stocks have been continuing to struggle, presumably due at least in part, to the uncertainty of a potential rate-hike next month. As a result the UVXY (can be thought of as a ‘market fear’ indicator)  just made its biggest move of the past few weeks and looks like it wants to head higher this morning.

To play into this potential trend we’re going to flag both the UVXY Weekly $33-35 Calls, and the SPY Weekly 205-203.50 Puts for potential daytrading action.

Of course, if the markets pull a head-fake and appear as if they to want to rally, we can always jump to the other side of the fence with each idea. In that case we’d be observing the same strike prices, only with UVXY Puts and SPY Calls.

Bonus Idea: FIT Weekly $30 and 29 Puts


MannKind Corp. MNKD

We’re also going to put MNKD on watch in sessions to come; the stock established a new 52-week low on Wednesday, and followed that up with a significant rebound yesterday.

We’ll be on the lookout for the recording of higher highs and higher lows and a testing of key resistance at the 50DMA of 3.26, which from current levels, would spell a solid gain of 25% in and of itself.
