Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Another PBR Update & More

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A (Petrobras) PBR – Options

Petrobras continues to be one of our main conduits to making large gains. We were able to carve out another chunk of profits on Friday as the stock hit a new high for us, traversing its way up the chart to peak at 15.92. Considering we picked up on this play in the low $11-range shortly following its 10-year lows back in March, we’d call its performance since then nothing short of amazing.

Of course, our real bread and butter here has been the options chain. Last week was yet another victory for anyone playing the Call side, with every contract we were watching making some nice strides.

In particular, the 07/19 $15 Calls that we’ve been tracking for weeks now have done beautifully, hitting a new high on Friday at 1.25. From the 25-cent low we observed in the week prior, that marks a walloping 400% move!

As we’ve stated before, we will continue to stick with monitoring PBR for as long as it continues to serve us up ripe opportunities for profit.

Intuitive Surgical, Inc. ISRG

ISRG comes back to us this morning as a play that we inserted into our running watchlist back at the beginning of May. On the 6th, we mentioned that the stock could provide us with “potential gains over the next several weeks,” and while it took awhile for things to get moving, that statement still stands.

One of our points of focus was on the ISRG chart were a pair of gap-downs that had transpired in recent weeks, and we’ll still be looking for a break of that first gap to get things started. Presently we’re looking at the Weekly $385-395 Calls for intraday flip opportunities, but if it appears we’re moving to fill the gap, we may need to roll our strike price up.

Provided ISRG does fill in the gap on the chart from roughly $400-415, over the longer-term we could find ourselves looking at The Aug.-Oct. $420-440 Calls.

Solar Wind Energy tower, Inc. SWET

We put SWET on our radar on Friday, and will continue to monitor the stock over the course of the week. The chart is exhibiting signs of ripening, and looks to still be right on the verge of potentially making a nice move, so we want to keep a sharp eye on the activity here as we kick off a new trading week.

The company released some news this morning about a cash infusion they’ve received, and we’re also going to look out for potential updates concerning SWET’s presenting at the NIBA (National Investment Banking Association) conference tomorrow (Tue. 17th).

Solar Wind Energy Tower, Inc. SWET

We’ve got a new item of interest in the penny arena to start things off this morning. Following a major run back in April, SWET has consolidated, and has been generally trading sideways ever since. We like the look of the chart, and feel that conditions are coming to a point where things could get interesting.

As you can see on the chart below, the RSI has held in there above the 50-line, there’s been a recent Golden Cross of the 50DMA over the 200DMA, and the MACD appears ready to start turning to the bullish side. It may not be too long before we see a pop out of this thing, so we’ll keep an eye peeled for that.

We also got word this morning that the company will be presenting at a prestigious investment banking conference at the beginning of next week:

ANNAPOLIS, MD, Jun 13, 2014 (Marketwired via COMTEX) — Solar Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (OTCQB: SWET) (the “Company”), the inventor of large Solar Wind Downdraft Tower structures capable of producing abundant, inexpensive electricity, announced that management will present at the National Investment Banking Association (NIBA) Conference to be held on June 16-18, 2014 at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York, NY.The NIBA Conference will give Solar Wind Energy Tower, Inc. access to a large audience at one time. NIBA’s membership is vast and multinational, and representing over 8,800 registered reps with an estimated $78B in assets under management. >>> FULL PR

Global Gaming Network, Inc. GBGM

With the vast array of stocks that we’re tracking all the time, it isn’t too much of a surprise when one of them perks up its head and regenerates our interest. Such was the case with GBGM yesterday; the last time we made mention of this stock in our daily reports was back on May 1st. At the time, we were monitoring the play for a bottom, which took the better part of the next month to reach.

GBGM touched down and found support at .0008 recently, and yesterday the sleeping giant was finally awakened as the company announced that it had retired 50 million shares of common stock, thereby reducing the number of outstanding shares 6%. What resulted was a significant upswing that took the stock as high as .0021 and generated gains of up to 162% for anyone that caught the bottom.

Options Ideas

OpenTable, Inc. OPEN

OPEN is gapping up tremendously this morning on news that the company is to be acquired by The Priceline Group. In situations like these, we like to monitor these high-flyers for subsequent dip-and-rip scenarios. Specifically regarding the options chain, when a strong move like this is properly utilized, it can spell big gains for those playing the Call side.

When something of this magnitude occurs, it can also create a sector-wide ripple effect, so we may also want to track stocks like LIVE, YELP, GRUB, and of course, PCLN.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CNAT, Options Ideas & Extended Watchlist

Conatus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. CNAT

CNAT is a stock that we first discovered as an FDA play back in early December, when one of the company’s treatments had been granted orphan drug status.  At the time, the stock was trading at less than $5 a share, and by January, we saw a huge run that took it over $14.

It brought a few other swings in the following months, but had fallen to the back burner for quite some time as it consolidated. Yesterday it set off our alarms once again, springing back to life and running hard on heavy volume, so once again CNAT has our full attention.

After reaching as high as 9.90 during yesterday’s session, we’ll be on the lookout for possible dip-and-rip opportunities. We’d like to see support hold in the 8-8.50 range moving forward and if it can do that, chances to score quick strike gains on the bounce could be present.

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR – Options

The PBR options chain has been a veritable cash cow for us this year as many of you already know, and we’ll continue to talk about it for as long as it continues to work in our favor. Yesterday was no letdown, as

All of the Call contracts that we’ve been monitoring ($14-15 Weekly Calls and the 07/19 $15 Calls) have been rocking, providing us with several shots at alarmingly high returns.

If PBR breaks over this morning’s pre-market high of 15.90, we may look to roll our strike price up to $16 (Possibly the 07/03 $16’s which closed @ .36 yesterday) and with how far the latest trend has taken us, we wouldn’t be too surprised to see that happen.

Extra Options Idea: Molson Coors Brewing Co. TAP

The TAP October $75 Calls showed an abnormal amount of trading activity yesterday, causing us to raise an eyebrow. Just for good measure, we’re going to throw those contracts up on our radar and monitor the situation.
