Blue Horseshoe Stocks: New Options Ideas, Bottom-Plays & More

Synergy Pharmaceutical, Inc. SGYP

SGYP kept piling on the gains yesterday with a great showing, emerging as one of our top picks of the week. For those who may have missed the reports, we declared interest in this play on Wednesday morning, and shortly thereafter bore witness to a solid 32% intraday run.

In yesterday morning’s report, we reinforced our confidence in the stock’s ability to produce another nice move based on the level of momentum it had built to that point. Our assumption proved accurate, and SGYP turned in an intraday increase of 19% from its early low of 7.92 up to a high of 9.44.

That move brought our total observed range on this play in a span of just two sessions to 56% (6.05-9.44).

SGYP is trading up slightly in the premarket with shares having traded hands for as much as 9.56 thus far this morning. While we’ll need to stay wary of potential pullbacks caused by profit-taking, we won’t want to let SGYP slip off of our radars.

The company’s Phase 3 trials for plecanatide as treatment for chronic idiopathic constipation met primary endpoints in both data runs, and there are many on Wall St. who believe we’ve yet to see the ceiling on this play’s potential.

Options Ideas

Under Armour, Inc. UA – We’re cap things off week by formulating a couple of options ideas for UA. The stock has been on quite a rip recently, and we’re going to explore the possibility of using the trend to our advantage. Specifically, we’re going to be monitoring UA Weekly $82.50-83.50 Calls for potential quick-strike intraday swing-trade chances, while reserving a spot on our longer-term watchlist for the 07/31 $84 Calls.

Added Reminder: We also are going to stay hot on the trail of the PBR Options ideas we mentioned in yesterday’s report (08/21 $10 and $11 Calls) into next week. We’ve already seen moves approaching and exceeding 100% in those contracts, and want to remain open to the possibility of more coming down the pipe, with plenty of time left until their expiration date.


Bottom-Bounce Watchlist:

Both Medican Enterprises, Inc. MDCN and Adaptive Media, Inc. ADTM took huge gut-punches yesterday, and will end the week on our bottom-watch radar. The possibility for significant rebound opportunities could be forthcoming either today or early into next week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ADTM, THCZ & More

Adaptive Medias, Inc. ADTM

We highlighted ADTM several weeks ago on January 28th, and on that day we witnessed a low of 1.58. Over the course of the following month, the stock would gradually make its way to a high of 3.10 (March 4th). That was quite a substantial run, topping out at an increase of 96%

It took another eight sessions for ADTM to come down off of those highs and find support, which it did at 2.00 last Thursday. Since then it has been registering higher lows, and yesterday reached back to a PPS high of 2.41 (+20%), so we’re going to re-radar the stock and keep watch over it into next week.


Totally Hemp Crazy, Inc. THCZ

Another high-performance stock that we first came across a few months back was THCZ. We found this gem back on December 18th and it made a 38% gain for us that day as it ran from .013-.018, but the fun certainly wasn’t over.

It took about six weeks of essentially trading sideways before THCZ would begin one of the most epic runs we’ve seen from a cannabis related play since the ‘Green Rush’ of early 2014. It culminated in a new high during Wednesday’s session, with shares changing hands for as much as .14. That represents a massive spike from the lows we observed in late December totaling 977%

At this point, we’ll be watching to see where THCZ finds support again, where we’ll be waiting for the possibility of a bounce-play on the subsequent rebound. The company put out a fresh PR this morning as well.

Amarantus Bioscience Holdings, Inc. AMBS

We also want to make note of AMBS as the week draws to a close. We have an extensive history with this play, and we re-flagged it on Monday morning as a “Bottom-Watch” play. The ultimate low would come across the tape at the beginning of yesterday’s session at .05 before AMBS began to bounce back.

It reached its way back to .0595 (+18%) and closed there. Moving forward, we’re going to be looking for AMBS to register higher highs and higher lows off of its bottom. The stock was trading as high as .086 at the beginning of this month, and a return to that area from current levels would spell gains on the order of 40%

SIDE NOTE: Speaking of stocks on bottom-watch, we want to call attention to Ohr Pharmaceuticals, Inc. OHRP. The company announced this morning that it had failed to meet its goals in a Phase II study of its OHR-102 drug, and got absolutely crushed in premarket trading down to a low of 2.68. It has recovered slightly, and we’re going to have an eye on OHRP as the session kicks off. The rebound off of such a downturn could be significant.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Ideas, ADTM & More

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options Ideas
It has been quite some time since we last looked in on the AAPL options chain, but we’re no strangers to the types of gains it affords. Just this past spring, we were able to track AAPL options to huge percentage gains.

Yesterday following market close AAPL earnings beat expectations by a mile, and as a result the stock is spiking significantly in premarket trading today. It may be possible to use this price action to our favor; we’d expect to see some early profit-taking lead to a familiar dip-and-rip scenario.

As the price rebounds we’ll be waiting with some potential options ideas. We’ll be monitoring Calls in the $113-117 range for potential intraday/intraweek flip opportunities.


Adaptive Medias, Inc. ADTM

We’ve had several recent opportunities with stocks rebounding off of their annual lows, and for that reason we’re going to tag ADTM this morning.

This stock’s 52-week low came on Monday, in the wake of the arrest of CEO Qayed Shareef on some very serious charges. The rebound off of those lows came yesterday as the company announced changes to its management structure following the immediate termination of Mr. Shareef. Acting COO Jim Waltz (Current CEO of Beanstock Media) has been unanimously supported by the board to assume the role of CEO.

We’ll look for ADTM to register higher lows and higher highs as it recovers off of its annual low. Prior to the disruption caused by the former CEO’s actions, the stock was trading in the 2.50-3.00 range; from current levels, a return to that area would mean gains in the neighborhood of 40-60%

 



Special Note:

We’ll also keep our eye on Vuzix Corp. VUZI. The stock appeared in our extended watchlist yesterday, and did make a modest increase during the session. This morning VUZI management will ceremoniously ring the opening bell to commemorate the company’s uplisting to the NASDAQ which begins today.

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — NASDAQ trading in “VUZI” to commence on January 28, 2015 Vuzix� Corporation (OTCQB: VUZI) (“Vuzix” or, the “Company”), a leading supplier of video eyewear and smart glasses products in the consumer, commercial and entertainment markets, announced today it has received approval from the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) for the listing of its common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market.
