Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Ideas & More

CSX Corp. CSX – Update

On Wednesday morning following CSX’s solid quarterly earnings report, we selected the CSX Weekly $65-67.50 Calls for observation, and scored the opportunity at multi-bag gains that day, as we relayed in yesterday’s premarket report.

What followed was a dip-and-rip out of CSX, and even more chances for double-bag to multibag gains for the second consecutive session. Here are the intraday profits that could have been achieved yesterday:

$65 Calls– Range: 1.91-4.50 – Max Gain: 136%
$65.50 Calls – Range: 1.84-3.85 – Max Gain: 109%

Ebay, Inc. EBAY – Options Recap

Speaking of single-day multibag gains, also included in yesterday’s report was a fresh idea for the EBAY options chain. We went bearish after the company disappointed on Q2 revs, signaling our interest in the EBAY Weekly $36-34.50 Puts  and we were dead-on with that idea as well.

The following fantastic gains were on the table:


$36 Puts
– Range: .71-2.08 – Max Gain: 193%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CAT Options & More

Caterpillar, Inc. CAT – Options

We’ve had great success in the past with CAT options after the company reports earnings, and that’s just what we’re going to try to do again today.

The company obliterated forecasts on the Street for its earnings figures and raised its outlook as well, producing interesting activity here in the premarket and has us anxious to track some calls once the session gets going.

We’re interested in monitoring the CAT 04/27 $157.50-162.50 Calls to try and take advantage of the situation.


Controladora Vuela Compania de Aviacion VLRS

We’re also going to put VLRS on bottom watch for a potential incoming dead cat bounce after the stock has been absolutely crushed over the past two sessions, as you can plainly view on the chart below.

All because of perceived lowered demand after the company’s revenue per seat mile decreased, even as overall revenue increased, according to its recent earnings report. We don’t see that as commensurate with the beating the stock has taken, sending it to new lows and well into egregiously oversold territory. We’ll have it on watch for a possible rebound.
