Options Review:

Our first targets of the week in Monday morning’s premarket report were AAPL and TSLA, as both stocks underwent a forward split of their share structures, lowering their PPS values and getting a lot of fresh buyers coming into the mix.

We positioned ourselves accordingly with ideas for each chain, with the TSLA Weekly $447-455 Calls and the AAPL Weekly $125-127.50 Calls, and activity provided by the stock over these first two sessions of the week has provided us with the following gain opportunities:

TSLA Weekly $447-455 Calls
$447: 18.00-60.63 (+237%)
$450: 16.80-57.95 (+245%)
$455: 15.00-53.63 (+258%)

AAPL Weekly $125-127.50 Calls
$125: 5.05-10.75 (+113%)
$126.25: 4.00-9.80 (+145%)
$127.50: 3.87-8.75 (+126%)

We’ expect to see these AAPL figures increase today, and we’re going to stick with the Apple chain this morning and roll our targeted strike area up to include the AAPL $136.25-137.50 Calls.

Fresh Options Ideas:
ODT 01/15 $17.50-22.50 Calls
GES 09/18 $13-14 Calls
LE 09/18 $15 Calls
VRA 09/18 $7.50 Calls

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CGC Review & More

Canopy Growth Corp. CGC

We are incredibly proud of our alert on CGC a few weeks ago. The company had just seen its large investor, beverage behemoth Constellation Brands (STZ) had increased its stake Canopy by more than $4B.

This was a key factor in our formulation of the idea to track the CGC 09/21 $30-40 Calls, which we presented to our readers on the morning of August 15th. At the time, CGC stock was trading at a low of 29.05. The bull run which followed has been an absolute thing of beauty. This morning in the premarket, CGC stock has traded for as much as 57.05, marking a rise of 96% in a matter of three weeks.

That incredible move up has facilitated some unbelievably large gains in our designated call contracts. Their overall ranges and possible gains over that time span are as follows:

$30 Calls – Range: 1.76-21.82 – Max Gain: 1140%
$35 Calls – Range: .56-17.30 – Max Gain: 2989%
$40 Calls – Range: .16-12.30 – Max Gain: 7587%

Fun Fact: The purchase of ONE contract for $16 at the $40 strike point on the day of our initial alert, would have been worth $1214 at its highs this morning! Cheers to anyone who has gotten even a piece of that action!

Added Note: Canopy Growth is of course a cannabis related stock, so while we’re on the subject, here’s watchlist of lower priced pot plays to also watch as we head into autumn, traditionally one of the best times of year for the cannabis sector as a whole.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: UNXL Recap & More

Uni-Pixel, Inc. UNXL

Our premarket report yesterday morning may have left some of our newer readers wondering why we would put forth a stock that had just been crushed to new all-time lows amid forthcoming bankruptcy and the layoff of its entire workforce. Our more seasoned readers will recall many times in the past where just such a set of circumstances has allowed for big opportunities, and yesterday was no exception.

UNXL began its rebound immediately following the opening bell, and in the first 90 minutes of trading, shot up from a low of .07 to as much as .16. That worked out to an intraday rip of 128% which occurred on massive volume on the order of nearly forty times the monthly average.

It just goes to show why we are constantly scanning for stocks coming off of their 52-week lows, because quite often they become fantastic rebound plays just like UNXL did yesterday. In fact, it ended up being the NASDAQ’s biggest gainer of the day, so cheers to anyone who was along for the ride!

Coty, Inc. COTY

We like the setup of the current COTY chart and would like to signal a pair of options contracts for observation in the days and weeks ahead.

Here we have another stock that was battered down in rapid fashion, having been trading over $20/share as recently as the beginning of this month. That includes a large gap left on the chart. It reached it ultimate low on Thursday, and since then has shown signs of a possible extended recovery, not to mention some insider buying.

On that note, we’re going to be looking to the COTY 10/06 $17 & $17.50 Calls for potential swing trades in the days and weeks to come.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ASTI Recap, Options Reminder & More

Trevena, Inc. TRVN

Of all of the plays that we were monitoring via our extended watchlist in yesterday’s premarket report, the most potent intraday performance came from TRVN. The stock had made a nice move in the previous session, had pulled back, and looked primed for another nice move based on the premarket activity we observed.

As the overall markets saw a trend reversal, TRVN made a solid, steady, run from a daily low of 9.21 up to 11.47; that registered as a 25% increase on more than 12X the 3-month average volume.

The stock is increasing further in the premarket today (traded as high as 11.83 thus far), so we might want to look out for the possibility of a slight dip followed by a continuation of yesterday’s momentum.

Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. ASTI

ASTI is a stock we’re very familiar with, as a quick tag search of our archives reveals, we’ve taken advantage of this stock multiple times over the years. A couple of weeks ago, we tagged the stock as a bottom-watch play after noticing it was being beaten back to new 52-week lows.

We stated that ASTI was a prime candidate for a bounceplay, and an extreme item of interest “because when a rebound does occur, it could be very significant.” and we couldn’t have been more spot-on in that assumption.

It’s ultimate low of .10 came just three sessions hence, and the impressive multi-day recovery pushed ASTI as high as .3597 yesterday. That represents an overall swing of 260%

Options Reminder:

Last Thursday just as the markets were becoming highly distressed, we formulated set of longer-term options plays to watch once a market rebound began to occur.

Yesterday, another reversal came to pass, so we just wanted to issue a brief reminder of the potential targets we listed, and are still tracking heavily: 09/18-10/02 Calls in the FB, GPRO, GMCR, AAPL, NFLX, and TSLA chains.
