Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Update on AAPL & Extended Watchlist

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options

On Friday, our morning report contained a blurb in which we stated we’d be “hot on the trail of potential gains in the Apple options chain”, and we certainly hope folks got in on some of the action that ensued. We have been following AAPL quite heavily since our report on Wed. the 14th, wherein we commented on the Apple-Beats buyout rumor.

AAPL stock tore out of the gate, bulling its way up all day to more than $614 just prior to the close. As a result, the options contracts we were following in the $605-610 range steadily ramped up in price over the course of the session.

As you can see on the graphic below, some truly notable gains were possible for anyone trading these contracts. The daily ranges on these things were quite impressive:

$605 Calls – Day’s Range: 2.15-9.76 – Max Gain: 354%

$607 Calls – Day’s Range: .83-7.13 – Max Gain: 759%

$610 Calls – Day’s Range: .25-4.70 – Max Gain: 1780%

It really wouldn’t have mattered which Calls you were into on Friday- traders literally could have thrown a dart at a board filled with contracts and come up with a winner!

AAPL continued to press upward this morning, as the stock has traded as high as the 618.90’s in pre-market activities. Now that it has broken well above the previous resistance point of $607.33, that’s the level we’d like to see hold as support in the event of any pullbacks.

Other stocks that had significant gains in the options calls from last week that we want to continue to monitor this week include: DDD, TSLA, GOGO, DDD & FEYE


Side Note:

Triton Distribution Systems, Inc. TTDZ now trading as:
Green Cures & Botanical Distribution Inc. GRCU

TTDZ, a stock that has given us many chances to profit in 2014, finally underwent the name and symbol change that we had been anticipating, becoming GRCU.

If you recall, this play was one of the largest runners we encountered during the “green rush” earlier this year. We caught it at a low of .0012 on January 30th, and subsequently rode it to a high of .049 in early April. For anyone without a calculator handy, that equates to a staggering move of 3983% in just over two months time! It’s hard not to call that one of our biggest successes of the year so far.

The company has also gone live with a new website that you can find @ http://gcbdinc.com/

We’re going to begin monitoring this, and other marijuana related plays more heavily in coming weeks. As many of you will remember, we’re anxiously awaiting the start of legal sales in Washington State, presently slated for mid-July. It could very well provide the cannabis sector with another swell of interest and buying, much like the beginning of sales in Colorado did back in January, which of course sparked one of the most monumental sector surges the penny markets have ever seen.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: INCC Update, AAPL, NEWL & Extended Watchlist

International Consolidated Companies, Inc. INCC

Our anticipation of a possible dip-and-rip scenario on INCC yesterday proved to be warranted, and the stock actually provided us with a number of intraday swings.

To start the day off, the stock made two significant moves, each time running 25% from .0032-.004. Toward midday we witnessed another dip to .003, and a subsequent rip on up to .0039, adding another 30% in potential gains. Finally, we saw one last swing from .0033-.0039, an 18% move, which brought our possible gains for the session to a cumulative total of 98%

INCC put in quite a good performance for a first day alert, and we’ll monitoring this one as the week progresses for the same type of volatility that offered us those chances to profit on Monday.

Apple, Inc. AAPL

Last Wednesday, we commented on the Apple-Beats rumor, as well as speculating that AAPL could be in for a run-up, and that has certainly come to pass. Our call of 604.40 as a pivot point proved accurate, as we stated that a break of that level had the potential to give way to more significant gains.

That brings us up to yesterday’s session, where AAPL went on to set a new 52-week high at 607.33. We expect AAPL Calls to continue to do well in the midst of this uptrend, and as our regular rteaders are aware, we’ve made astonishing gains from the AAPL Options Chain in the past.


NewLead Holdings Ltd. NEWL

Sometimes in the course of attempting to track to biggest potential gainers, we find that it can take several sessions for a pick to mature. Such was the case with NEWL, as we showed up slightly early to the party. The most important thing, however, was that we showed up.

We began tracking NEWL for a bottom a couple of Fridays ago, and while we were attempting to sniff out a low, the company announced a significant 1-for-50 reverse split. As the stock attempts to normalize following that major development, we are seeing a massive surge in both PPS and volume.

We will definitely be tracking NEWL more closely following this cleaning up of the share structure, as well as other developments that have been recently announced.

A Word on the Apple-Beats Rumor

If you read or watch the news, chances are you’ve caught wind of the rumors surrounding Apple’s potential acquisition of Beats Electronics, purveyor of the vastly popular Beats by Dre brand of upscale headphones and speakers. It has certainly sent investors scrambling in recent days, as people attempt to ascertain the effects of a proposed $3.2B deal that would trump any of Apple’s acquisitions to date.

Price targets from some analysts are ranging from $600 to over $750/share when all is said and done. We’re not in the game of speculating that far ahead, but given the current conditions of the chart, if AAPL can break its previous swing high of $604.40, we could be in for another major run.

Some of our longer-term readers might recall latter half of last year, when we achieved possible percentage gains numbering in the thousands trading AAPL options as the stock trended up for several months culminating in December.

As with any rumor, we always need to consider the possibility that one or both parties will back away, but assuming it does go through, it could be one of the top stories in finance for many months to come. The deal would make Dr. Dre the world’s first hip-hop billionaire, and would conceivably outfit many if not all future Apple devices with one of the more popular names in audio.  This is definitely a storyline that we feel is worth following, so stay tuned.

Pernix Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. PTX

We’ve got PTX on watch today after a morning PR (PERNIX Signs Agreement to Acquire TREXIMET® Tablets for Migraine From GSK) has caused the stock to gap up over 40% in morning trading to its highest levels since March.

In situations like these, we often see a couple of things; after the upward momentum has died out the stock could be a target for shorters. Profit-takers can also contribute to a reversal, which always has the possibility of allowing us to take advantage of dip-and-rip opportunities.

______

Arotech Corp. ARTX

ARTX is another gapper, continues to rise in pre-market trading today on the strength of increased earnings outlined in a post-market PR yesterday.

The situation remains the same as previously mentioned; we like to monitor these types of plays, because sniping gains from stocks in this situation has become our bread-and-butter. No volatile run can sustain itself indefinitely, always leading to a subsequent course correction, and we like to lay in wait for the perfect time to pounce.

OXBT, PROW, RNN, BYD & Extended Watchlist

Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. OXBT
–
Our readers who have been with us since October will remember OXBT, and that we were fortunate enough to catch it at a low of 1.46 before it steamrolled its way up to 11.40, affording us the chance at gains of 681% We re-tagged it on December 19thafter the consolidation off of the initial spike brought the stock back to find a bottom at 4.20. Our timing on that alert ended being spot-on, as the pattern reversed and OXBT began to ascend once more. As of Friday, the stock had reached a high of 7.40, which represents a gain of 76% from the recent 4.20 low.High volume and a strong close at 7.35 for Friday’s session will ensure OXBT a spot on our watchlists as we kick off this new trading week.

Progress Watch Corp. PROW

We pointed out the Golden Cross in progress for PROW on Friday, and despite already having witnessed gains in excess of 515% from .0065 to Thursday’s high of .04 (Initial alert- 12/20/13) we were able to reap further profits as the stock continued to uptrend, topping out at .048 and settling back only slightly to close at .0472. That high pushed our max gains on PROW to 638% in less than a month’s time. Congrats to anyone to has been able to take advantage of this rapid-gainer.

As is the case with any stock that rises so quickly, we’ll need to execute our trades with tight stops, and be on the lookout for signs of a reversal while still remaining open to the possibility of a continued breakout.

Rexhan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. RNN

We’ve followed RNN from December 11th (Low .4026) onward, and have been duly rewarded for our persistence. Friday, we reminded everyone to be on the lookout for more solid gains, as we had already followed the stock up over 90% and were witnessing some heavy pre-market trading pushing the price even higher. RNN would go on to touch a new high for us at 1.19, which represents a gain of 196% from our initial alert low from just a month ago.

This took place on well over 15x the 3mo. average volume, with a healthy close at 1.14, so we’ll be watching RNN carefully today. Like our previously mentioned plays, RNN has been gaining a lot of ground over a short period of time, and should be monitored closely. Perhaps more so than the others, a quick peek at the chart shows it beginning to look overbought. Vigilance is key! In the event of a pullback, we’d like to see RNN hold support somewhere above the .80-level.

Boyd Gaming Corp. BYD

We want to add BYD to our watchlist today. We haven’t mentioned this one before, but are interested in both the building chart, and the sector in which the company operates. BYD operates over twenty gaming entertainment properties across Nevada, New Jersey, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana and Mississippi.

Gaming stocks were a hot ticket in 2013, and with online gaming now being permitted in Nevada, Delaware, and New Jersey, some folks believe that national regulation is ‘in the cards’. The gaming sector, both online and brick-and-mortar, is going to be one to watch intently in 2014.

TGRO, PROW & Extended Watchlist

Before we break for tomorrow’s market closure, we’d like to take this opportunity to extend our warmest season’s greetings to our treasured audience, you! Happy holidays to all of our friends around the world! Whatever your personal beliefs may be, however you choose to celebrate tomorrow’s off-day, we hope you have a safe and wonderful time. We’ll see you all bright and early on Thursday morning!

Tiger Oil & Energy, Inc. TGRO

TGRO continued to blossom yesterday, attaining a new high, as it traded from a low of .96 into a strong close at the high-of-day of 1.25, and doing so on over 3X its 3mo. average volume. That was good for a solid 30% intraday rip, and at the 1.25-level a gain of 247% from our original alert at .36 (Dec. 9th) was possible. Congrats to anyone who’s been able to clean up here, as there has been ample opportunity for all.

The stock continues to achieve higher highs and higher lows, always a favorable sign concerning its chances to continue trending up moving forward. We’ll be interested to monitor its activity both before and after the holiday hiatus.

Yesterday, once again, TGRO made us the champions of the Penny Stock Rumble, sweeping both categories: Percentage gain, and dollar volume!

Progress Watch Corp. PROW

Like TGRO, PROW also managed to achieve higher highs and higher lows on Monday, affording it our close attention. After delivering us a 51% possible gain on Friday, it continued its run, opening at .009 and peaking at a high of .013.

That gave us another opportunity to profit, this time to the tune of 44% on thrice the average volume. That brings our two-day cumulative gain total on PROW up to a very respectable 95%
