Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AUMN, MEET & Options Calls

MeetMe, Inc. MEET
&
Golden Minerals Corp. AUMN

Both MEET and AUMN were winners off of yesterday’s extended watchlist, with each stock making nice intraday runs that traders could have used to their advantage.

AUMN’s move was the larger of the two, with the stock trading up from its early morning low of .72, and reaching as high as 1.00 before lunchtime. That made gains of up to 39% possible for anyone riding the wave.

We may want to keep AUMN on our radars for a longer period of time, as the PR which catalyzed yesterday’s move up contains some intriguing information. We’re going to be interested to follow along with that storyline. We suggest you read the full text of the announcement by clicking the link in the except below.

Once mining and processing are ramped up to approximately 285 tonnes per day (tpd) of sulfide ore in mid-2015, the Company expects output of approximately 1.0 to 1.2 million silver equivalent ounces per annum (including silver and gold but excluding lead and zinc), with cash costs between $12 and $15 per silver ounce net of by-product credits. >> FULL PR

MEET’s intraday run was a bit more modest coming in at 19% as the stock ran from 2.06-2.45, but the opportunity was still present. The spike came on high volume, and the stock held the majority of those gains into the close, so we may want to keep tracking this one as well.


Tracking Our Options Calls

We’ve had so much success with options this week, that the chances are too many to list! As of yesterday premarket, our total possible percentage gains had already pushed well into the thousands, and that figure only increased throughout the session. Each of the three primary chains we’ve been playing this week executed classic dip-and-rip scenarios, and virtually every set of Calls we’ve been watching made sizable moves.

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR

3D Systems, Inc. DDD

GW Pharmaceuticals, Inc. GWPH

From the One Week charts below, you can see just how significant the swings have been in the Calls on each of these plays.

We want to continue monitoring these charts regardless of which way they appear to trend, as every pullback we’ve seen thus far has provided us with chance to play the dip-and-rip. With the Fed’s stance on tapering and not raising interest rates anytime soon, it could continue to feed what has been an absolutely historic bull market.
