Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Friday’s Huge Session & More

SharkReach, Inc. SHRK

Our Thursday morning we presented SHRK as a momentum play and were met with one heck of an opportunity as the stock managed to make an intraday swing of 120% from .30-.66 that afternoon on exceedingly heavy volume.

We reinforced our interest in continuing to track the stock on Friday morning, provided it maintained a higher base level of support, and for the second straight day, SHRK came through for us despite choppy market conditions.

We witnessed a run from .62-.85 for a solid 37% swing, and from Thursday’s observed low, it marked a two-day move of 183% Cheers are in order for anyone who has followed SHRK along with us. With another strong close Friday we’ll keep an eye on its activity as we kick off a new trading week.

Facebook, Inc. FB – Options Update

Thursday morning’s report also contained some stellar options ideas as we decided to go bearish on FB. The ranges we highlighted included the Weekly $113-110 Puts and the longer-term ideas of the Feb 19th $109-105 Puts all returned good chances for quick-strike profits.

On Friday we anticipated a second consecutive day of losses for the social media giant, and explicitly stated that “We can expect to see further moves out of these contracts”. Once again our expectations were met precisely as FB continued to tumble, and extended our possible gains to an astonishing level.

Weeklies:

$113 Puts – Trading Range: 1.85-9.60  – Max Gain: 419%
$112 Puts – Trading Range: 1.27-8.79 – Max Gain: 592%
$111 Puts – Trading Range: .93-7.70 – Max Gain: 728%
$110 Puts – Trading Range: .47-6.80  – Max Gain: 1346%

02/19 Expiration:

$109 Calls– Trading Range: 1.98-6.65 – Max Gain: 236%
$108 Calls – Trading Range: 1.67-6.00 – Max Gain: 259%
$107 Calls – Trading Range: 1.27-5.31 – Max Gain: 318%
$106 Calls – Trading Range: .99-4.70 – Max Gain: 375%
$105 Calls – Trading Range: .91-4.10 – Max Gain: 351%

In terms of the February 19th Puts we signaled, we are once again reiterating our interest as we expect the gains to continue piling up as FB looks to be in line for another rough outing. We explain our reasoning for this in the following chart snapshot.

____

As a bonus idea on Friday we also included a wide range of Weekly LNKD Puts ($140-125’s) and every single contract offered up the shot at big single-session profits. They yielded gains running anywhere from 116% to a highly impressive 1671%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPDC Update, Options Ideas & More

Speed Commerce, Inc. SPDC

We tagged SPDC for observation in our premarket report on Friday, and what has followed is two consecutive days of upward momentum.

We observed a low of .018 on Friday morning, and a subsequent high of .0289 for an intraday gain of 61% Then yesterday the stock traded in a range from .0289 to .041, for a 42% intraday rip. All told, SPDC made an total session-over-session swing of 128% since we began tracking the stock.

We’ll continue to do so for the time being- the recovery off of recently recorded annual lows has been rapid, as can be seen on the following chart snapshot. A return to PPS-levels of just a few weeks ago would mean significant gains from the current price, so we’ll have our eyes peeled for the possibility of a continued uptrend.

Fresh Options Ideas

After poring over the earnings calendar from post-market yesterday and this morning, we came across a pair of interesting plays for which we’ll formulate a couple of correlated options ideas.

FirstMerit Corp. FMER

Despite an earnings miss this morning, FMER is flying in premarket trading on concurrent news of a $3.4B buyout/merger with Huntington Bancshares in a deal that will effectively create the state of Ohio’s largest regional bank. We’re going to tag the FMER 02/19 $17.50 and $20 Calls for potential dip-and-rip scenarios.

____

Rambus, Inc. RMBS

Regarding RMBS, we’re seeing a classic earnings-beat gap up to the tune of 7% in early trading today. Better than expected figures were released post-market yesterday, so we’ll be tracking a set of contracts here as well. Specifically, the RMBS 02/19 $12 Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: RAS Update, Options & More

RAIT Financial Trust RAS

RAS was a point of focus in yesterday’s premarket report. We highlighted it as a stock that had been hammered back for the better part of the past two months, which was long overdue for a rebound.

Timing just doesn’t get any better, with RAS having just registered a brand new 52-week low in the previous session, the reversal we were after occurred as the stock traded in a daily range from a low of 2.30 on up to 2.57. While only a modest 12% increase, we’ll be very interested to continue monitoring RAS in impending sessions. The stock closed just a few pennies below the HOD on roughly 4.5X the 3-month average volume.

We’ll look for RAS to keep logging higher lows and establish a sustained recovery, and remember, there’s a gap on the chart beginning at around 3.15, the filling of which would put the price back at $4.

New Options Idea – The Walt Disney Co. DIS

There’s an unusual amount of excitement surrounding Disney this week, with Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the seventh movie in the Star Wars franchise set to hit theaters on Friday.

Add in the recent revelation that Alibaba (BABA) has teamed up with the company to distribute Disney films in China through a new device called DisneyLife, and we’re very interested in the potential activity these events could fuel in the DIS options chain.

As a result, we want to track contracts in the range of Weekly DIS $112-116 Calls for quick-strike chances, to try and take advantage of the current excitement. The stock is gapping up significantly in the premarket, so we’ll be on the lookout for an early dip-and-rip.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AMBS Recap & More

Amarantus Bioscience Holdings, Inc. AMBS

AMBS is a stock we’ve been quite familiar with in the past, and we recently turned our attention back to the stock, tagging it in both Friday’s and yesterday’s premarket reports. What has transpired is a solid two-session surge.

Friday saw the stock run from .66-.81 (+23%), and yesterday the bullish trend strengthened as AMBS traded up from .72 to a new high of 1.47. That went down as an intraday pop of 104%, and extends our total observed range in just two trading days to 123%

We want to continue to keep our eyes peeled for further activity in AMBS throughout the remainder of the week, as this morning’s PR regarding positive clinical results adds to its near-term potential significantly.

VitaCig, Inc. VTCQ

VTCQ was a continued point of focus for us in yesterday’s morning report. We initially tagged it last Wednesday morning, and had already tracked it over an impressive 245% range from .0042-.0145. The stock kicked off this new trading week in volatile fashion, first running 57% from .0159-.025, followed by a dip-and-rip as it came down to .0134 before ripping back to .0195 (+46%).

Yesterday’s high marked a bullish swing of 495% over the low we witnessed late last week, in a matter of just three sessions!

Agritek Holdings, Inc. AGTK

Speaking of dip-and-rip action, another of the stocks we highlighted in yesterday’s newsletter was AGTK, and it too recorded multiple moves during yesterday’s trading.

It flew out of the starting gate from .0013 and nearly made a double-bagger as it soared to .0025, for an initial pop of 92% That was followed up by a drop down to .0017 before its third reversal on the day carried it to a new high of .0028. That second move amounted to 65% and the total range from the daily low to the high came out to 115%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Friday’s Options Success & More

VXX & SPY Options Recap

We ended last week on an extremely strong note with respect to our premarket options-trading ideas. As we’ve done so many times this year, we offered up some target ranges in which we felt we’d see big activity, and every single contract highlighted therein would go on to make huge intraday swings.

We outlined our interest in the VXX $20 and 19.50 Puts SPY $206-207 Calls, specifying that we’d flip to VXX Calls and SPY Puts in the event that the VXX breached its premarket high of 19.70. That never occurred, we therefore stuck with the original idea, and the possible gains afforded to whoever was paying attention were quite large:

VXX

$20 Puts  – Trading Range: .59-1.79  – Max Gain: 341%
$19.50 Puts – Trading Range: .29-1.28   – Max Gain: 203%

SPY

$206 Calls – Trading Range: .75-3.91  – Max Gain: 421%
$206.50 Calls – Trading Range: .48-3.42   – Max Gain: 612%
$207 Calls – Trading Range: .31-2.05 – Max Gain: 561%

VitaCig, Inc. VTCQ

We put VTCQ on watch in this past Wednesday’s morning report, and the stock made one heck of a two-session swing from the following morning to Friday afternoon’s closing bell.

Friday’s move alone was quite impressive- the stock ran from .008-.145 which comes out to an intraday pop of 81%  Our observed low of .0042 came promptly at the open on Thursday, and measured from that point, Friday’s closing price represents a total move of 245%

Granted the fact that we did see VTCQ close at its high of day on roughly three times its monthly average volume, we will want to leave this play on our radars. As usual we’ll look for it to record higher highs and higher lows, and to retain our attention, it will need to maintain support at or above .01. The next key area of resistance appears to be sitting at .0181.
