Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ICLD, XGTI Recaps & More

InterCloud Systems, Inc. ICLD

ICLD stood out as a solid mover from yesterday’s premarket report. From a morning low of 3.01, the stock made an authoritative move on up to a high of 4.30 just prior to the closing bell.  That represents an increase of 43% on heavy volume to the tune of nearly 38X the three-month average. That figure has been extended to 46%  in the premarket today with the stock touching a high of 4.40 so far.

We’ll want to monitor ICLD for a sustained run; if it can manage higher highs and higher lows today, it would mark the third straight session. The boost it received yesterday was due, in part, to the announcement of a new product launch, the link to which we’ve included below.

xG Technology, Inc. XGTI

XGTI was another stock from yesterday’s report that made a significant move on the day. It saw a an early low of .40, and would go on to run toward the end of the session, hitting a high of .5474. That worked out to an intraday move of 37%

The stock managed to hold .54 into the close, and the performance came on volume exceeding the monthly average by more than 6X. Anytime we observe action of this kind, we want to be on the lookout for continued activity in subsequent sessions. Already in early trading today we’re seeing the beginnings of a dip-and-rip pattern. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for added chances to take advantage of this play.

OSL Holdings, Inc. OSLH

We tracked OSLH throughout the month of April, and we’re highly rewarded for our vigilance. Between April 2nd (Low: .0021) and April 15th (High: .0274) we witnessed an amazing 1294% run.

Toward the end of last week, OSLH found a bottom after pulling back off of that historic move, and began to rebound from the .0075-mark, and has definitely won back our attention. Yesterday’s session carried OSLH as high as .0144, a 92% swing. We’ll watch this play for the possibility of a protracted rebound off of Friday’s low.

PlasmaTech Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. PTBI

We pulled up PTBI on a routine scan today, and it’s a stock that has been invested in by activist investor George Soros, as we’ve learned in the PR out this morning.. Occasionally, we like to watch stocks that are in the portfolios of high-profile investors. Just last month we followed VLTC over a huge run that was fueled by the involvement of Carl Icahn.

The stock is already up significantly in early trading, and there’s a chance we could see a major gap on the chart up to the 5.50 area filled, so we’ll have this one on our radar for just such an event. We’ve pointed this out below; if PTBI can gain support at or above the 4.40-mark, we like its chances of making a nice run.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Recap of Friday & Much More

Friday’s Options Ideas:

We had our eyes on a handful of options trading possibilities on Friday, and we did see some significant moves to the upside emerge from that group. We’ll kick things off this week by outlining some of the opportunities that were available for traders within the price ranges we specified in Friday’s report:

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. SWKS
$94.50 Calls – Range: 1.26-3.63 – Max Gain: 188%
$95 Calls – Range: .84-3.20 – Max Gain: 280%
$95.50 Calls – Range: .60-2.28 – Max Gain: 280%
$96 Calls – Range: .53-2.36 – Max Gain: 345%

Expedia, Inc. EXPE
$99 Calls – Range: 1.43-3.60 –  Max Gain: 152%
$99.50 Calls – Range: 2.00-2.83 – Max Gain: 41%

FireEye, Inc. FEYE
05/08 $42 Calls – Range: 1.70-2.55 – Max Gain: 50%
05/08 $43 Calls – Range: 1.25-2.00 – Max Gain: 60%

It’s quite the task for anyone to provide just one worthwhile options-trading idea, and on Friday, we were three for three. It serves as a great example of why we like to mix plenty of these options ideas into our daily reports; the gains are out there, ripe for the taking! 

Advanced Medical Isotope Corp. ADMD

Our attention was drawn to ADMD this morning as it popped up on our news scanner; the company has come forth with information regarding an “error in the calculation of common shares that should have properly been issued, resulting in significant excess issuances of common stock”. It essentially boils down to an estimated positive impact of $0.8M on ADMD’s balance sheet.

We naturally took a look at the ADMD chart upon taking notice of this news, and as we point out with the annotations below, there are several indications of a bullish trend in effect. As a result, we’ll want to keep watch over ADMD as we begin this new trading week.

Rebound For Social Media Stocks?

LinkedIn Corp. LNKD and Twitter, Inc. TWTR were both crushed on disappointing earnings last week, and both stocks appear to be gearing up for a possible recovery this week. They’re both slightly in the green here in the premarket this morning, and we’ll be looking for potential swing trade opportunities that might present themselves in coming weeks with Calls bearing a 05/29 expiration date.

On LinkedIn Corp. LNKD we’ll be monitoring the 05/29 $200-210 Call range. The longer period before expiration gives the stock some time to sustain a comeback off of recent lows.

For Twitter, Inc. TWTR we’ll actively monitor the 05/29 $38-42 Call range for similar opportunities.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PZOO News, Options & More

Voltari Corp. VLTC

Leading into this week, VLTC had been under consolidation following its epic run to new 52-week highs earlier in April. On Wednesday, the stock ultimately found support at 8.14 and by the time it had reached its daily high yesterday the stock had rebounded back to 11.65, a 43% swing.

VLTC did maintain the majority of its daily gains into the close yesterday. and this morning the stock is gapping up quite substantially with a premarket high of 12.34 already having printed.

There appears to be a key area of resistance around $14, and we’ll want to see VLTC hold support at or above its recent swing low of 8.14 on any pullbacks, in order to keep our interest.

Fresh Options Ideas:

We’ve got a few candidates for potential options trades as we close out the week. Please note that we’re referring to Weekly Calls which are on the cusp of expiration, so these would be for quick-trigger daytrades only. For swing trades into next week, one could look at 05/08 or 05/15 contracts.

Expedia, Inc. EXPE – $97-$99.50 Calls

FireEye, Inc. FEYE – $42-$43.50 Calls

Skyworks Solyutions, Inc. SWKS – $94.50-$96 Calls

Pazoo, Inc. PZOO

We want to touch base with PZOO this morning as we’re noticing a new PR hitting the wires. The stock consolidated for the first time in nearly a month this week, coming down off its recent high of .0204. Yesterday it held a penny as support and, we’ll want to see the stock maintain above that level as the week draws to a close.
