Baristas Coffee Company, Inc. BCCI
We first placed BCCI on our tracking list on Tuesday in our premarket report (and every day since), and the stock has gone on to make bullish moves all week. From our observed low of .009 on Tuesday, it took BCCI just three sessions to register an enormous swing to upside.
Yesterday the stock reached as high as .0279 which marked an intraweek increase of 210% and it did so on near-record volume, trading more than five-and-a-half times its 3-month average.
USA Restaurant Funding, Inc. USAR
USAR is another stock we’ve been tracking over multiple sessions this week. We entered it into the mix on Wednesday morning, at which time we witnessed lows of .0015 followed by a 93% run to .0029. We continued to track it into yesterday’s session whereupon the stock pressed from .0026 to a new high of .005 (+92% intraday) before falling back to the .002-range.
Two consecutive days with moves of better than 90% is nothing tio sneeze at; the overall range we observed in USAR in just a pair of trading days amounted to 233%
Fresh Options Ideas
We had tremendous success last Friday with sets of inversely-correlated options plays, so much so that we’ll try to do it again today. The VXX and the SPY have a tendency to mirror each other in reverse; we’ll use that fact to formulate a group of ideas that we feel have good potential based on this morning’s premarket activity.
The VXX Is gapping up over 4%, trending above both the 50DMA (19.75) and the 200DMA (21.08), and the set of options we’re going to be monitoring as a result are the VXX $20-22 Calls. Conversely, we’ll also track the SPY $206-203 Puts.
Notice the line we’ve drawn on the following VXX chart snapshot; the $22-mark has been acting as a key resistance area in recent months. A break past that figure could spell significant advances from this juncture. In the event that occurs, we may need to look at rolling up our strike prices accordingly.
