Blue Horseshoe Stocks: VAPE Recap, Options & More

Yesterday’s Winning Plays

Vape Holdings, Inc. VAPE – This stock has been appearing in our reports sporadically for several months, and yesterday we re-mentioned it just in the nick of time to allow ourselves to catch intraday gains of up to 98% as it surged from .0045 to .0089. It marked a single-session gain of 98% and was by far the most impressive play of the day.

_____

CTI BioPharma Corp. CTIC – We’ve been hot on the trail of CTIC since releasing our morning report last Wednesday, and yesterday the stock continued to push its upper limits as it has done each day since. On the morning of our initial alert we observed a low of .45 in CTIC, and as of yesterday’s high of .71 had seen a solid increase of 60% in a span of just four sessions.

_____

Arcis Resources Corp. ARCS – Despite falling to new daily lows over the course of the afternoon, ARCS did provide an opportunity for quick-witted traders right at the outset of the session. The stock rapidly ran from .0026-.0057, representing a shot at up to 119% in gains before the bottom fell out. The stock closed at its low of .002, so we may want to scan for the possibility of an upcoming bottom-bounce.

Added Note: Seeing healthy activity out of VAPE and ARCS, both cannabis-related stocks, reminds us of another play in the space that has made some big moves for us in the past and has just started to come up off of a bottom. That’s why we’ll also be watching GreenGro Technologfies, Inc. GRNH in sessions to come.

 New Options Ideas

We want to signal a set of options ideas for each of the following retailers in the wake of earnings beats this morning. We’ll be tracking these calls for potential intraday/intraweek trade opportunities:

Macy’s, Inc. M – Macy’s earnings and guidance are engendering investor confidence in the firm’s ability to streamline its business in 2016, and adapt to the changing marketplace. The resultant chart activity has us interested in tracking M Weekly $41.50-45 Calls.

The Home Depot, Inc. HD – In this case, our target range is going to be the HD Weekly $125-129 Calls.   Home Depot issued its report citing record earnings, and restated its plans to move forward with an $11B share repurchase program to be transacted by the end of fiscal 2017.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Friday’s Big Movers & More

LifeLogger Technologies Corp. LOGG

LOGG ended the week on an extremely high note, which was particularly impressive considering the fact that we had already witnessed a fantastic 91% pop from .0995-.19 subsequent to our mention of it in Thursday’s morning report.

The stock would follow up one great performance with another, running from an early low of .17 to a new high of .30 on Friday morning. It represented an intraday run of 76%, and a two-day overall rise amounting to 202% Our heartiest congratulations to any of our readers who were along for the ride on this one!

We’ll be sure to keep tracking LOGG for as long as its activity continues to provide these excellent intraday chances.

Encompass Compliance Corp. ENCC

ENCC turned out to be our top-gaining prospect of the day on Friday  when all was said and done. After slowly ramping up from its low of .012 over the course of the morning, the stock suddenly took off in the last hour, streaking to a high of .025.

The move amounted to an intraday increase of 108% and ENCC closed at its high point as well, so we’ll definitely want to assume our standard position for instances such as these, monitoring the stock for continued momentum, in addition to dip-and-rip patterns that could lead to further opportunities down the road.

PCS Edventures!.com, Inc. PCSV

On Friday, we classed PCSV as a stock to watch over the longer-term, and while that’s still the case, it also produced immediate results of an impressive nature.

We witnessed the stock trading in a range from .025-.045, which amounted to a respectable 80% intraday move.  As previously stated, we feel the company’s recent entry into the fledgling sport of competitive drone racing warrants extended observation of this stock. (>>View PR)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: New Options Ideas, Rebound Play & More

JC Penney Company Inc. JCP – Options Review

If you recall yesterday’s premarket report, we were targeting some JCP options calls to play off of the anticipation of this morning’s earnings release. Our idea returned some nice opportunities for intraday gains. We were specifically looking to the JCP Weekly $8.50 Calls for these chances, and those contracts traded in a range from .39-61 during yesterday’s session. That made it possible for traders to bank up to 56% in intraday profits.

As for JCP’s Q3 earning release, expectations were exceeded and yet the stock is still down considerably in the premarket. Many people are citing an overall struggle for the retail sector as a whole this quarter as the reasoning behind some of the less-than-spectacular performances we’re seeing.

Fresh Options Ideas:

To finish out the week, we’ll formulate a couple of quick-strike options ideas to correspond with the general sentiment of the markets this morning. Stocks have been continuing to struggle, presumably due at least in part, to the uncertainty of a potential rate-hike next month. As a result the UVXY (can be thought of as a ‘market fear’ indicator)  just made its biggest move of the past few weeks and looks like it wants to head higher this morning.

To play into this potential trend we’re going to flag both the UVXY Weekly $33-35 Calls, and the SPY Weekly 205-203.50 Puts for potential daytrading action.

Of course, if the markets pull a head-fake and appear as if they to want to rally, we can always jump to the other side of the fence with each idea. In that case we’d be observing the same strike prices, only with UVXY Puts and SPY Calls.

Bonus Idea: FIT Weekly $30 and 29 Puts

MannKind Corp. MNKD

We’re also going to put MNKD on watch in sessions to come; the stock established a new 52-week low on Wednesday, and followed that up with a significant rebound yesterday.

We’ll be on the lookout for the recording of higher highs and higher lows and a testing of key resistance at the 50DMA of 3.26, which from current levels, would spell a solid gain of 25% in and of itself.
