Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Bottom-Play, Options & More

Adaptive Medias, Inc. ADTM

To kick things off on a fresh trading week this morning, we’re going to return to ADTM, a stock we’ve been familiar with in the past. We want to approach this play as a bottom-watch candidate. The stock has been in a general downtrend for the better part of four months, and just recently had been bashed back to a new 52-week low last week.

The stock has fallen, in just a short period of time, down into subpenny territory from prices of more than a dime a share just a couple of weeks ago. We’re always intrigued when a stock undergoes such a rapid sell-off, because in many instances, it leads to a serious rebound-play opportunity.

Should we be able to properly time the bottom, the potential rewards would be staggering if the stock managed to regain even half of its recent lost ground from current pricing. We’ll be sure to watch closely for that possibility.


Bank of America Corp. BAC – Options Idea

Sometimes, when searching for trading opportunities, the best way to identify items of significance is to follow the money. In the case of this morning, we’ve noticed an exceedingly high amount of open interest in BAC Calls, and are going to be looking to signal some longer-term contracts for monitoring in sessions to come.

Our highlighted targets in this instance are going to the BAC 07/15 $15 & 15.50 Calls. With such an extended expiration, it’s going to give us plenty of time to see BAC stock begin to approach that $15-mark again, and if/when it does, the gains in these contracts should prove to be quite significant.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MNKD, ANGI & Extended Watchlist

MannKind Corp. MNKD

In putting MNKD on bottom-watch in Friday’s Report, we gave folks the chance to catch this play at a subsequent low of 3.85 on Monday.

We were then hit with the news concerning recommendation from an FDA advisory panel to green-light one of the company’s drugs, after hours on Monday which led to a significant gap-up yesterday.

It appears as if the stock will gap up for the second consecutive session today. In pre-market trading thus far, MNKD has pushed into the 7.30’s. From the low we saw just a couple of days ago to this morning’s high (7.33), represents an overall increase of 90%


Angie’s List, Inc. ANGI

Speaking of recovery plays, ANGI is coming off of a recent bottom, and the resurgence of the share price is opening up some avenues of opportunity with regard to the options chain.

Currently on our radar are the 05/17 $15 Calls, which closed at .65 yesterday, and the 04/19 $12.50 Calls, which last traded at 1.03.

A quick look at the 6-month ANGI chart reveals a stock with the ability to make big swings. We can see that from December through January it ran from the $12-range to the $19-range with ferocity. It would appear as if we are catching it at the beginning of another swing. The RSI is rising sharply, and we’ve got a confirmed uptrend off of that bottom with higher lows and higher highs having been achieved over the past three sessions.

The potential for gains, not only with the options, but also on the stock side of things, is something that we’ll be looking for as we track ANGI during its recovery.
