Wrapping Up a Successful Week, 4 Plays for Friday

Thursday’s Across-the-Board Sweep:

Things hashed out rather well for us on Thursday, as we offered our readers five new ideas for possible options plays in our daily premarket report. The wider the net you cast, there’s always a higher chance of the occasional miss, but that didn’t happen yesterday. Instead we got right back on our 2024 hot streak, with just one single idea we’ve put forth so far here in the new year failing to produce instant positive results.

Yesterday’s movers were the INFY Weekly $18 Calls, the KBH Weekly $62-61 Puts, the MARA Weekly $26-27 Calls, the COIN Weekly $155-157.50 Calls, and the NVDA Weekly $545-547.50 Calls. Here were the types of intraday moves they exhibited during the session:

Ringing in 2024 with a 4-Pack of Fresh Ideas

Best Wishes for 2024!

In a rare occurrence, we opted not to include any options trading ideas on Friday before breaking for the holiday. There were no earnings reporters, and the markets were looking rather subdued, and set up for a humdrum kind of a day. It was a quiet end to a year that had been anything but quiet, but we’re ready to get things rolling for 2024. We’ll still be without earnings reporters today, but that won’t stop us from rooting out something to focus upon for this first trading day of the year.

If 2024 turns out anywhere near as positive as 2023 was, we will be in very good shape! It is the 13th calendar year since we opened up BlueHorseshoeStocks.com as a daily archive of all of our newsletters (all 3,230 of which are still public and available for review!) and we’re going stronger than ever! To subscribers new and old, we hope you’ll stick with us for what promises to be a VERY interesting 2024!


Fresh Options Ideas: 
MARA Weekly $26-27 Calls
COIN Weekly $175-177.50 Calls
AMD Weekly $145-144 Puts
VYGR 11/19 $10-12.50 Calls

Closing Out Another Incredible Trading Year

Happy New Year to All!

Unfortunately for our current options streak, we were left with just a single idea for yesterday’s report, and we mistakenly published the wrong strike prices. It’s a rare mistake on our part, but we do make them like anyone else. Not how we would have chosen to kick off our final report of the year, but what a year it has been!

2023 was probably our most successful year to date in terms of our constant quest to root out daily options trading opportunities. We strung together countless winning picks, gained a lot of new subscribers, and retained incredible read rates from our existing subscribers! No matter when you joined our ranks, we want to thank you, and wish you and yours a very happy new year, with tons of good fortune to come in 2024!


OTC Updates:

We did have a couple of nice movers come off of the extended watchlist from yesterday’s morning report. It’s always a good idea to check through our daily lists, especially on days where there’s not much happening on the options front. Today will be another such day, so we’re just going to cap this year off by wishing everyone a happy and healthy new year, and we’ll pick right back up again bright and early on Tuesday morning.

More Options Success & New Ideas

More Options Gainers:

We only formulated two sets of options ideas for yesterday morning’s premarket report, but we scored pretty well with both of them. Kohls was a post-earnings play, and we had been bearish on the SPY from the get-go this week.

Our exact target ranges were the KSS Weekly $60-62 Calls and the SPY 01/24 $435-432 Puts, and traders could have realized some pretty good profits off of either idea. With the markets continuing their recent downslide until midday, the SPY Puts were the most attractive option on the day.

Here are the total possible gains one could have recorded with those items of interest:

KSS Weekly $60-62 Calls
$60: 
3.46-4.90 (+42%)
$61: 2.81-4.23 (+51%)
$62: 1.00-3.73 (+273%)
_____

SPY 01/24 $435-432 Puts 
$435: 3.96-14.28 (+261%)
$343: 3.23-13.33 (+313%)
$432: 2.50-11.31 (+252%)


Fresh Options Ideas: 
LOGI 02/18 $75-80 Calls
BRO 02/18 $65-70 Calls
AXP Weekly $160-165 Calls 


OTC Review:

We also have a couple of plays on the stock side of things that we wanted to provide our readers numbers on this morning. We’ve been tracking UNQL and VTXB for one and two weeks, respectively, and they’ve produced some excellent multibag runs for us during that short time.

Unique Logistics Intl Inc. UNQL
1st Alerted: Jan.18th
Range: .023-.0689
Gained: +199%

Vortex Brands Co. VXTB
