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:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Ideas & More

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.

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.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Recap of Friday & Much More

Friday’s Options Ideas:

We had our eyes on a handful of options trading possibilities on Friday, and we did see some significant moves to the upside emerge from that group. We’ll kick things off this week by outlining some of the opportunities that were available for traders within the price ranges we specified in Friday’s report:

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. SWKS
$94.50 Calls – Range: 1.26-3.63 – Max Gain: 188%
$95 Calls – Range: .84-3.20 – Max Gain: 280%
$95.50 Calls – Range: .60-2.28 – Max Gain: 280%
$96 Calls – Range: .53-2.36 – Max Gain: 345%

Expedia, Inc. EXPE
$99 Calls – Range: 1.43-3.60 –  Max Gain: 152%
$99.50 Calls – Range: 2.00-2.83 – Max Gain: 41%

FireEye, Inc. FEYE

05/08 $43 Calls – Range: 1.25-2.00 – Max Gain: 60%

It’s quite the task for anyone to provide just one worthwhile options-trading idea, and on Friday, we were three for three. It serves as a great example of why we like to mix plenty of these options ideas into our daily reports; the gains are out there, ripe for the taking! 


Advanced Medical Isotope Corp. ADMD

Our attention was drawn to ADMD this morning as it popped up on our news scanner; the company has come forth with information regarding an “error in the calculation of common shares that should have properly been issued, resulting in significant excess issuances of common stock”. It essentially boils down to an estimated positive impact of $0.8M on ADMD’s balance sheet.

We naturally took a look at the ADMD chart upon taking notice of this news, and as we point out with the annotations below, there are several indications of a bullish trend in effect. As a result, we’ll want to keep watch over ADMD as we begin this new trading week.


Rebound For Social Media Stocks?

LinkedIn Corp. LNKD and Twitter, Inc. TWTR were both crushed on disappointing earnings last week, and both stocks appear to be gearing up for a possible recovery this week. They’re both slightly in the green here in the premarket this morning, and we’ll be looking for potential swing trade opportunities that might present themselves in coming weeks with Calls bearing a 05/29 expiration date.

On LinkedIn Corp. LNKD we’ll be monitoring the 05/29 $200-210 Call range. The longer period before expiration gives the stock some time to sustain a comeback off of recent lows.

For Twitter, Inc. TWTR we’ll actively monitor the 05/29 $38-42 Call range for similar opportunities.
