Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Bearish Options Idea & More

Abercrombie & Fitch Co. ANF – Options Idea

After noticing this morning’s earnings release from ANF, which included a big shortfall on expected sales as well as guidance for the remainder of the year, we may be interested in taking a bearish stance and using the current sentiment to our advantage with a series of puts.

We’re going to place ANF Weekly $22-19.50 Puts on watch as the stock is gapping down more than ten percent in premarket trading. If a large selloff continues to persist, we could be looking at some serious action in these contracts.

As long as the stock doesn’t recover past this morning’s premarket high of 22.95 once the session commences, this idea will remain in play.


Axiom Corp. AXMM

We’ve got an interesting chart setup on this subpenny stock that is sufficient to warrant tagging the play for observation. In addition to forming a fairly strong ascending triangle pattern, there are a number of other bullish attributes of which to take note.

As we’ve pointed out on the following snapshot, AXMM’s coming off of being oversold, and we’re going to want to see that RSI surpass the 50-line. Meanwhile the MACD just underwent a bullish cross, and if we can see a breach of the .0029-mark, there’s little in the way of resistance until you hit .0055, which would also represent a breach of the current 50DMA.

Successful Options Ideas

We formulated four sets of options trading ideas in yesterday morning’s premarket report, and it should come as no surprise to any of our readers apart from the very newest members, that all four ideas were winners. Gains were there for the taking regardless of which play struck people’s fancies.

Our point of focus for the SPY yesterday morning was the SPY Weekly $204-206 Calls and those contracts provided not one, but two solid opportunities for intraday gains. The breakdown is as follows:

Potential Bottom-Play Watchlist
 
This morning we caught four different stocks trading at a bottom that we want to aggregate into a recovery watchlist. We’ll reserve some space on our radars for these plays in sessions to come, monitoring for any indication of a rebound for any of these plays:

RCPI, TWER, SKYS, UAMY


Extended Watchlist:
SFOR, ADMD, CPXX, GLBL, USLV, MNOV,
MDVN($41.50-43.50 Weekly Calls)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ADMD, VRX Updates & More


Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. VRX-  Options Update

 
When others are behaving as if the sky is falling, namely the analysts over at Piper Jaffray who recently blasted VRX, we’re on the lookout for for opportunities. We didn’t go along with the crowd, and went bullish on the embattled stock, and it turns out we had the winning hand.

We called Monday’s 52-week low the bottom, at least for the time being, and signaled the VRX 04/22 $32 Calls for observation. VRX had a boomer of a recovery session, running from 29.01 back to 32.05, and as a result our tracked contracts enjoyed a sizable intraday increase.  From a low of 2.90 they reached 3.90, a healthy 35% pop, and granted the fact that the stock appears ready to gap-up this morning, we expect that figure to expand appreciably.


Advanced Medical Isotope Corp. ADMD

This familiar stock was one of a pair of plays that stood out from the rest on yesterday morning’s extended watchlist. We’ve tracked this play on and off for well over a year, and came back to it at a good time to take advantage of the chart it’s been building.

We witnessed an intraday run from .003-.0042, marking a move of 40% which occurred on the heaviest recorded volume in almost a year, and the fourth consecutive session of higher highs and higher lows.

We also prepared a video presentation of the charts of each of the preceding plays:


Pan American Goldfields, Ltd. MXOM

We also had MXOM appear in yesterday’s watchlist, and it too enjoyed a modest but noteworthy move on the day. It went up from a low of .0068, reaching a high of .009. That worked out to a 32% intraday performance on approxiamtely qudruple the average monthly average volume.


KollagenX Corp. KGNX – Possible Bottom Bouncer

We’re going to pin KGNX to our tracklist today as well after noticing the stock showing signs of life off of its recently established 52-week low. We’ve highlighted the pertinent indicators on the chart below, and will continue to track its progress provided it continues to build higher base levels of support.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Bottom Plays, Options Idea & More

ML Capital Group, Inc. MLCG – Update
 
The first thing we want to do today is take a look back to Thursday morning at a play we designated for observation in our watchlist.

MLCG has followed up our alert with three consecutive sessions of higher highs and higher lows. On Thursday, we witnessed the stock changing hands at .0008, and yesterday we saw it reach a high of .0014. That marks a laudable three-day swing of 75% with very heavy volume coming in over that time-span.

We’ll continue to monitor MLCG for a continuation of the bullish pattern we’ve seen established thus far.


Special Reminders:

Axion Power International, Inc. AXPW
& Skyline Medical, Inc. SKLN

Now, we’d like to reiterate our opinion of both of these [unrelated] stocks, which we recently presented as bottom-watch plays.

Each one is still giving us the impression that their rebounds could occur soon, so we just wanted to remind our readers that these plays are still on our radar. In both cases, the stocks appear heavily oversold and ripe to begin a significant recovery, so let’s not let them fall by the wayside just yet.


Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. VRX-  Options Idea

We’ll close out this morning’s report with our first fresh options idea of the week. We’ve been watching over the past week as the stock has taken a real pounding, falling from just below the $70-level to below the $30-level.

We’re going to signal a set of contracts with an extended expiration period, the VRX 04/22 $32 Calls, which will give us plenty of time in which to see the stock put some distance between itself and the newly-established 52-week low it saw yesterday.


Extended Watchlist:
MXOM, FABU, DXMM, PPCH, ADMD, CGRW, ROX(Form-4 Bottom-Watcher)

New Options Ideas

It is a relatively seldom occurrence that we will signal Puts when speculating over potential options plays, but we have our eyes on a couple of stocks that are exhibiting the proper conditions to do so this morning. What figures to be another slow day for stocks with regard to overall market conditions, could also help us along to some intraday opportunities on the bearish side of things. 

Macy’s, Inc. M –  Despite exceeding expectations for profits, Macy’s returned disappointing sales figures for Q3 this morning and as a result, is gapping down considerably in the premarket. Over the past few sessions, the stock has behaved in a similar manner, with an early gap-down leading to further losses, so in the event that the pattern repeats itself we’re going to be tracking the M Weekly $47-43 Puts for swing-trade possibilities.

Macy’s reports lower sales, trims profit forecast (Wed 8:37AM EST)

Horizon Pharma plc HZNP – HZNP is taking a major hit in the premarket on some negative press that began circulating late last night. It represents a considerable hit to the company, and with such news being thus far untraded-upon, we’re going to be taking a look at HZNP Weekly $20-17 Puts.
