More Pharma Winners

Pharma Updates

Ocular Therapeutics, Inc. OCUL – We’ve been observing OCUL for a couple months now, beginning with our report from Dec. 30th. The stock did rise considerably in a predictable pattern over the first two months of 2020, and thanks largely in part to the effect the coronavirus is having on many pharma plays, the stock really kicked the increases into high gear this week.

Subsequent to our report just prior to the New Year, OCUL was trading for a little as 3.83 a share, and its new high yesterday came in at 7.48, marking a solid rise of 95%
_____

Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. INO – We signaled INO on Thursday morning, and provided an update again in yesterday’s report. From its low of 3.83, we have now witnessed an upswing of 145% as of the stock’s new high of 9.40 achieved yesterday.

The markets have begun to swing back and forth with just the kind of volatility that we relish, but it is highly unlikely that we are seeing the last of the coronavirus’ effect on stocks in general. With the outbreak not yet contained, it stands to reason that this volatility will persist for the foreseeable future.

Campbell Soup Co. CPB – Options Update

We offered up an options idea for the Campbell’s chain yesterday, the CPB Weekly $49-50.50 Calls. While the 49.50’s didn’t trade substantial volume, the other three contract sets in the range saw some nice moves.

CPB Weekly $49-50.50 Calls
$49: 2.03-3.10 (+53%)
$50: 1.25-2.58 (+106%)
$50.50: .98-2.10 (+114%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
VIPS Weekly $13.50-14.50 Calls

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: HK Update, Options Recap & More

First thing’s first- remember that the closing bell rings at 1PM today, whereupon we’ll break for a three-and-a-half day weekend. Allow us to preemptively extend to everyone glad tidings of rest and relaxation, and an enjoyable holiday break no matter how you choose to spend today and tomorrow’s market downtime!

But, before we can hang things up for the holidays we need to go over some of the great winning plays we’ve tracked on this short week; a feat which isn’t always easy to accomplish.

Celgene Corp. CELG

CELG was gapping up yesterday on untraded-upon news, and the activity led us to formulate an idea for a range of options calls that we felt would see heavy activity.

Our specified targets were CELG Weekly $116-120 Calls and we were exceedingly pleased with the ensuing swing action:

$116 Calls – Trading Range: 3.46-6.60 – Max Gain: 91%
$117 Calls – Trading Range: 2.19-5.44 – Max Gain: 148%
$118 Calls – Trading Range: 1.55-4.70 – Max Gain: 203%
$119 Calls – Trading Range: 1.30-3.55 – Max Gain: 173%
$120 Calls – Trading Range: .75-3.10 – Max Gain: 313%

Swift Energy Co. SFYW

We placed SFYW on watch yesterday morning after noticing that the stock was attempting to sustain a rebound off of its recently established 52-week lows.

The stock did perform nicely, trading up from a low of .065 to .1049 for a 61% intraday rip. The move occurred on volume in excess of more than 5X the monthly average.

Remember, we also identified a gap on the SWYW from roughly .11-.16, so we’ll continue to keep this play on watch for as long as a run to fill that gap seems plausible.

Halycon Resources Corp. HK

We were quite accurate in our assessment of HK’s condition in Monday morning’s premarket report. The observations we relayed at the time were that: “Not only is the stock coming off of a new annual low registered on Thursday, but… five members of management filed Form-4′s indicating the purchase of shares at .26. Both occurrences qualify HK for an extended-term recovery watch.”

Over the course of this week we’ve liked the strides HK has made toward that recovery, running from Monday’s low of .2233 on up to a new high of .337 yesterday. That represents a respectable three-session swing of 51%

As you can see on the included chart below, there appears to still be room for the present run to grow, so we’ll be watching out for the stock to record higher highs and higher lows in coming sessions.

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%

These plays were also topics of discussion in our daily live trader’s chats last week, and we’ve been receiving a lot of inquiries from our readers who want to get involved. We welcome anyone who enjoys our daily reports to join in, and all you need to do is log onto Skype and send a contact request to username stocksumo.

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.

Blue Horseshow Stocks: More Great Options Calls, COLV, GEQU

Continued Options Trading Success

Yesterday, we recapped the huge performances from the options contracts we designated for tracking in Tuesday’s premarket report, which returned the possibility of intraday gains ranging from 87-410%

Those were the GPRO Weekly $31-32.50 Calls, and the FB Weekly $90-91 Calls, and based on what we were seeing in yesterday’s premarket, we also offered our opinion as to how things could play out from that point forward.

To the folks just arriving to the party, so to speak, we suggested “waiting for the dip caused by profit-takers to ride the subsequent rebound.” The action in our observed contracts essentially transpired according to our expectations, and once again, impressive intraday profits were there for the taking.

$31 Calls – Daily Range: .39-1.12 – Max Gain: 187%
$31.50 Calls – Daily Range: .29-.85 – Max Gain: 193%
$32 Calls – Daily Range: .21-.67 – Max Gain: 219%
$32.50 Calls – Daily Range: .13-.39 – Max Gain: 200%

$90 Calls – Daily Range: .43-1.18 – Max Gain: 168%
$90.50 Calls – Daily Range: .34-.91 – Max Gain: 168%
$91 Calls – Daily Range: .22-.73 – Max Gain: 204%

In addition to the initial ranges listed above, even more added gains were technically possible, as market action allowed for secondary swings in almost every case.

The markets appear strong in early trading once again, so we’ll be approaching today’s session in much the same fashion as we have the preceding two, except today we’ll be looking to modify our strike prices according to present conditions.

New Idea:

We’ll also look at the possibility of taking advantage of SPY Weekly $191.50-193 Calls should today’s activity continue to mimic recent sessions.

Coastal Integrated Services, Inc. COLV

We included this subpenny stock on our extended watchlist yesterday, and COLV manage to record its third consecutive session of higher highs and higher lows off of its recently registered annual low (.0012).

It ran from .0024 to a daily high of .0037, which represents an intraday gain of 54%. COLV will need to continue to establish higher base levels of support in order to keep our attention going forward.

Global Equity International, Inc. GEQU

Speaking of extended watchlist plays, on Monday we tagged GEQU for tracking, and have been met with the chance for some respectable intraweek gains. The stock logged a low of .021 on Monday, and as of yesterday’s high of .036, we had witnessed a 70% increase.

The GEQU Chart appears quite overbought, but the same has been true in recent weeks and the stock has been on a continual uptrend. We’ll be on the lookout for the possibility of further increases while remaining open to the fact that a consolidation could be in the cards, and in that event, staying ready to take advantage of a possible dip-and-rip scenario.

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.
