Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PIRS, Options Recaps & More

Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Inc. PIRS

We tagged PIRS in yesterday morning’s premarket report via the extended watchlist after the company released some press regarding a strategic partnership with pharma giant AstraZeneca. That’s all many traders needed to hear, as an incredible amount of buying came in, with volume on the order of more than 206 times the 30-day average.

That massive momentum gave PIRS a steady push in a bullish direction, as the stock rose from a low of 3.0299 to a high of 3.97, a solid intraday climb of 31% We would be quite surprised if that was last of the bullish activity in PIRS after such a big announcement and subsequent massive accumulation of shares.

Weight Watchers International, Inc. WTW – Options Recap

Our fresh options idea for the day yesterday was to track the WTW Weekly $24-25 Calls after noticing elevated post-earnings (out Tuesday) activity. Oprah’s association with the company that began at the end of 2015 has had a lasting positive effect and led to increased revenues and a heightened outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Were looking for these things to drive some movement in the contracts we were looking at, and that’s just what happened early on in the session. Any of the three sets of contracts within our highlighted range would have given traders the opportunity to bank multi-bag profits right from the opening bell. The following gains were up for grabs in the first 45 minutes of the session.

$24 Calls – Range: .52-1.33 – Max Gain: 156%
$24.50 Calls – Range: .40-.81 – Max Gain: 102%
$25 Calls – Range: .32-.65 – Max Gain: 103%

DISH Network Corp. DISH – Options Recap

Our bearish options idea from Monday morning’s premarket report was to monitor the DISH 05/12 $62-60 Puts after noticing that not only did DISH have a disappointing earnings release, but that the chart was also looking top-heavy prior to that.

Our idea has worked out exceedingly well, whether traders took our suggestion to go with the contracts expiring next week as we listed, or simply went with the weeklies, which also made massive moves. Here are the potential gains that were up for grabs on our listed contracts:

$62 Puts – Range: .40-1.48 – Max Gain: 270%
$61.50 Puts – Range: .40-.91 – Max Gain: 127%
$61 Puts – Range: .21-.50 – Max Gain: 138%
$60.50 Puts – Range: .26-.43 – Max Gain: 65%
$60 Puts – Range: .10-.50 – Max Gain: 400%

First NBC Bank Holding Co. FNBC

Monday, on FNBC we commented that “we’ll have to monitor this one for its bottom, but after it’s reached we could in in for a heck of a bounce”. That bottom came the very next day at .0932 and yesterday, the big bounce we were mentioning came to pass as FNBC rushed to a high of .35.

That works out to a fantastic two-day swing of 276% and with the stock gapping up slightly in the premarket today, we could see an extension of those gains.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FNHI Run Continues, USRM & More

Franchise Holding International, Inc. FNHI

We’ve been tracking FNHI very closely, and it seems each time we update our readers on its performance, it has gone on to set new highs. Yesterday’s session was no exception, as the stock once again hit a new upper limit, and extended our already impressive witnessed range even further.

As we’ve mentioned on multiple occasions now, our initial tag on FNHI came on the 8th of this month, and shortly thereafter we’d observe a low of .0061 in the stock. As of our report yesterday, we had seen a rise to .0449, for an overall move of 636%

We also mentioned that it had closed with strength on Friday, holding most of its daily advance into the close, so we’d want to watch for a continuation of the trend and that’s just what we got. The stock touched a low of .0359 in the morning before making a steady bullish push throughout the day and hitting a new high of .0574. That worked out to an intraday move of 60% and extended our total witnessed range on the stock to an enormous 841% in a matter of roughly three weeks!


U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. USRM

We included USRM in our report yesterday for the first time in several months, and caught it just in the nick of time to have a chance at a very nice intraday gain.

The stock performed exceedingly well, running from an early low of .014, and spending essentially the entire session pressing northward, as it reached .0241 for a daily pop of 72% and closed with a lot of strength at .024, just a tick below the high-of-day. Volume was strong as well, with more than quadruple the 30-day average number of shares changing hands, so we’re definitely going to leave an eye peeled for USRM moving forward.

iBrands Corp. IBRC

Lastly- Despite tanking into the close, IBRC was another stock we were watching yesterday to make a solid move. That move came in the first half of the session where it rose from its morning low of .0036 and reached as high as .0063 around 11:30am.

That represented an intraday upswing of 75% The stock did of course fall off into the close, but that doesn’t mean we’re not still paying attention. The kind of volatility we’re seeing in IBRC can really be leveraged to our advantage with properly timed swing trades that could be up for grabs once the stock finds and bounces off of a solid support level.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Recap of NHMD & More

Nate’s Food Co. NHMD

First up today is a recap of NHMD, a stock that we’ve been continuously tracking since February, and one that has brought us multiple chances to profit. We revisited it in March after witnessing a consolidation to our observed low of .0012. It has since rocketed to new highs, breaking through its 200DMA and running to .014 yesterday. That marked an impressive run of 1066% over a span of less than two months!

We’ll be anxious to observe to followup activity to that huge spike. Ideally, we’ll see NHMD hold support at or above its 200DMA of .0115 on any pullbacks.

Cliffs Natural Resources, Inc. CLF

CLF was included in yesterday’s report after noticing a number of bullish indicators forming on the chart. It’s going to remain on our radar after the stock responded with a subdued but respectable performance on the day, as well as gapping up further in the premarket today.

So far we’ve only seen a 12% rise from this play, but will still be observing closely moving forward as it just cracked the 50DMA in a bullish manner, in addition to recently receiving an analyst upgrade as well as exhibiting significantly heightened volume.

New York & Company, Inc. NWY – Update

We wanted to take a minute this morning to update our readers on a recent bottom-watch call we made, and reiterate our interest in tracking its activity over an extended term.

We called attention to NWY in our premarket report from a week ago today, and while it has yet to really blast off, our timing in pointing out the bottom was about as good as it could have been. It has managed to establish higher lows in each of the four sessions since then, despite only seeing a marginal trading range of 11%

The stock remains heavily oversold, and as such will continue to have a slot of our watchlist moving forward on the chance that a more significant rebound is in the cards.
