Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TEUFF Recap, Options & More

Box Ships, Inc. TEUFF

For the second day in a row yesterday, TEUFF provided us a chance at appreciable intraday gains. On Wednesday, following its inclusion in our premarket report, the stock traded in a solid range from a low of .018 to .0276 for a 53% jump that day.

The momentum continued, spilling over into yesterday dipping slightly in the morning to .0246 before ripping its way up to .035. That worked out to an intraday move of 42%, and an total increase of 94% over our observed low from Wednesday morning.

It marked the fifth consecutive session that TEUFF has posted higher highs and higher lows, and we’ll stay hot on its trail for as long as it continues to do so.

Ocular Therapeutix, Inc. OCUL

We tagged OCUL for observation yesterday as well, and it made a modest but notable move itself, from a low of 5.09 to 5.95; a 17% jump. Perhaps the biggest story with this play is the massive amount of buying that flowed into the stock in a single day. At 7M shares traded, it fell just a tad shy of its all-time single-session volume record (02/15/16, 7.2M).

With that kind of accumulation in effect, we’ll want to leave a slot on our radars open for OCUL in sessions to come.

Viper Energy Partners VNOM

We’re noticing a potential opportunity with VNOM this morning, a stock that is showing some signs of life after what has been a rough couple of weeks. We’re also taking notice of a huge Form-4 buy that came in earlier in the week, to the tune of $31M at an execution price of 15.60.

Yesterday the stock broke the 200DMA in a bullish manner, and it appears to be filling the gap on the chart left by the recent  backslide. We’re going to track this play for the possibility of an extended recovery, and also tag the VNOM 09/16 $15 and 17.50 Calls for observation.

Extended Watchlist:
CBR, SGMO, RAX, EPE, MRK, STAF

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ASTI, TEUFF Reviews & More

Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. ASTI

We’ve been quite familiar with ASTI in the past, and circled back around to it yesterday morning, in time to catch what was ultimately one heck of a solid session.

We had noticed it recently producing some bottom-bounce action, along with a huge increase in volume and they proved to be huge indicators of a continued surge. The stock traded in a range from .051-.0779, for a healthy 53% jump, and maintained well over half of that gain into the close at .074.

We’ll definitely want to see ASTI take a run at its previous swing highs of .085 and .119, followed by the 50DMA of .13, as pointed out in the chart snapshot here:

Time Warner, Inc. TWX – Options Update

We brought an options trading idea to the table yesterday morning in the wake of an earnings beat for Time Warner, the TWX Weekly $77-79 Calls, and every set of contracts in the range performed really well, with each one yielding a multi-bag gain opportunity on the day.

$77 Calls – Range: .76-2.06 – Max Gain: 171%
$77.50 Calls – Range: .59-1.57 – Max Gain: 166%
$78 Calls – Range: .37-1.37 – Max Gain: 270%
$78.50 Calls – Range: .20-.65 – Max Gain: 225%
$79 Calls – Range: .09-.69 – Max Gain: 422%

With news hitting in the post-market yesterday that TWX will be taking up a 10% stake in Hulu, it will be interesting to see how the activity unfolds from here.

Box Ships, Inc. TEUFF

Another inclusion in yesterday’s premarket report was TEUFF, which, similar to ASTI, was in the midst of a spike in upward momentum off of a recent bottom. We were banking on seeing some of that carry over into yesterday’s session, and that’s just what happened.

TEUFF traded up from a low of .018 and hit .0276; another 53% intraday gainer for what was a very productive day all around.

Extended Watchlist:
APHB, GMEV, OCUL, LEXG, MJMI, DNRG(Potential bottom)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AGTK Recap, Options & More

Agritek Holdings, Inc. AGTK

The standout runner from yesterday morning’s premarket report ended up being AGTK. We noticed it had been ramping up in PPS over the preceding two sessions, and figured it was worth tracking. We were right on in our assumption, as the stock traded in a respectable daily range, running into the close with strength.

AGTK saw an early low of .00168 before running to a high of .0025, representing a single-session spike of 49% The move came on stronger-than-average volume, and marked the third straight session of higher highs and higher lows.

We’ll remain interested in tracking the activity in AGTK provided it can hold support at or above .002; next key areas of resistance are at the 50 and 200DMA’s at .0029 and .0031, respectively.

Options Ideas:

We’ve got a pair of options chains to watch as well, for the following ideas:

Ford Motor Co. F – Our idea concerning Ford is based more off of technical factors of the current chart. As you can see, there are a number of indicators pointing to the possibility of a forthcoming recovery. We want to select a set of contracts with an extended expiration to give our idea time to manifest; the F 09/16 $12.75 Calls. The stock is searching for a bottom, and we’ll need to wait until just the right moment when it begins to rebound and possibly make a run at filling the gap.


______

Time Warner, Inc. TWX – The other plays we’re going to be keeping an eye on are short term, weekly expiration ideas: TWX Weekly $77-79 Calls.

Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. OMEX

Lastly, we want to put another new play on watch, based purely off of the look of the chart. As you can see, OMEX is in the process of filling a major gap on its chart from this spring, and it just bulled through its 200DMA yesterday. The RSI has also cracked into the power zone, so we’ll definitely be observing the near-term activity on this play.
