Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PBR Update & More

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR When we touched base with PBR on Wednesday morning, we mentioned that we were expecting some opportunities to come our way provided that the stock could hold support at or above its 200DMA (13.69).

We also showed interest in the July 19th $15 Calls, which, leading up to that point, had been trading in the .30-.38 range, and even ventured so far as to say that a double or triple could be possible. That move came rather quickly over the remainder of the trading week, as those contracts dipped as low as .25, and by the end of the day on Friday had come all the way back to close at .61.

For us, that represented an excellent three-session move, allowing gains of up to 144% for options traders. The stock itself made a modest move up also, to the tune of 8% from 13.62 to 14.77.

The PBR chart is still looking quite ripe, with several bullish indicators catching our attention. The RSI is strengthening rapidly, there appears to be a MACD cross in the making, and provided the stock can maintain support at or above the channel between the 50DMA of 14.19 and Friday’s swing low of 14.32, we like the chances of seeing even more gains from PBR.

For intraday/intraweek flip opportunities, we can look into the $14-$15 Weekly Calls, but granted the overall trend continues, a longer-term play will continue to be the 07/19 $15’s, which as we said, have already afforded us a double-bagger.


Shamika 2 Gold, Inc. SHMX

On Thursday, we added SHMX to the mix as a sub-penny play that had struck us as having some potential. As with the majority of stocks trading in the triple-zero range, SHMX is susceptible to rapid swings in price, and we saw that first hand as we closed out the week. On Friday, the stock saw a low of .0003, and a subsequent upswing to its closing price of .0005.

That made it possible for traders to nab a quick profit of 67%  We always want to be extremely cautious when dealing with volatile plays in this price range, as they are not for the faint-hearted. Quick-strike trades are the order of the day, and for more skilled traders, proper timing of each dip and rip can lead to gains really piling up.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AAPL, TMSH

Apple, Inc. AAPL

AAPL has been very good to us recently as the stock pushes ever-higher. The last (and only) time AAPL has ever been this highly valued was back in late 2012. We’ve squeezed a lot of life out of AAPL Calls, and should the current trend continue, this may only be the beginning.

During yesterday’s session AAPL surged as high as 649.3699, just shy of a big psychological barrier.  If we can see a break of that $650-mark, we could easily see another 10-point day from Apple. Failure to crack through that mark may result in a consolidation, but nothing of what we’ve seen from this stock lately suggests that the party’s over.

We’ve still got our eyes on the Call side of the options chain as we cruise into the weekend; and as you know, AAPL will undergo a 7-for-1 forward split effective on Monday, greatly increasing its number of shares. It is thought that the calculated move will make the stock accessible to more investors, and we expect AAPL to be trading just under $100 following the split, so that could very well be the case.

We’ll see where it lands, and our strategies will be very much the same as they are now, just at lower prices. We also have the launch of the new iPhone to look forward to, although there’s no concrete date on that yet. Speculation over its new features is something we expect to continue driving up the stock’s value until the product is launched.

All in all, this summer could be a big one for Apple, and we’ll be following along every step of the way, using options to leverage big gains for ourselves as we’ve done so many times in the past.


TransGlobal Assets, Inc. TMSH

On Wednesday, we tagged TMSH in our extended watchlist, and we were glad to have done so. The stock has provided us with a nice 50% move from .006-.009 this week. As you can see on the chart below, there are a lot of positives, including an impending golden cross, so we’re still going to be very interested to see what can happen with this play moving forward.

The key resistance area is yesterday high at the .009-mark, and a break of that level would send us into Blue Sky Breakout mode, so we want to keep a close watch on TMSH heading into next week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Afternoon Update – 06/05/14

Alliance Creative Group, Inc. ACGX

We’re sending out an update this afternoon on ACGX to pass along this morning’s PR, as well as to remind everyone to check out some info on the 1st Annual WeedStock Conference in Denver, CO coming up at the end of the month, where ACGX will be one of the presenting companies.

Many of the companies in the cannabis sector whose stocks we followed to enormous gains earlier this year will be in attendance, so the conference should give Alliance a great chance to make some meaningful connections with potential clients that operate in a new and exciting space.

We will also have representatives at the conference, so when the time comes, we’ll be sure to give our readers the full report! Read up on the 1st Annual WeedStock Conference at its official website, WeedStockConference.com

If you recall, our anticipation of the beginning of legal marijuana sales in Washington slated for July, is that it should generate more interest in cannabis in general, both in terms of investing and legislation (as we all know, the two are often inexorably linked). Colorado, acting as the national litmus test, has proved that not only is legalized recreational marijuana a great way to pull in tons of tax revenue, but it also had no effect on crime rates, as many opponents of the measure suspected it might. A set of similar results in Washington could press even more states to consider changing their own prohibition laws.
