Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Recap of Yesterday’s Huge Session

Our first order of business today will be to go over the wealth of premium gain opportunities contained in yesterday’s premarket report. We had not one, but three of our selections make major moves, not to mention a couple of other modest gainers.

Prima BioMed, Ltd. PBMD

Quickly shooting to the top of our watchlist was PBMD. Its performance was exhilarating to behold as the stock went on an absolute tear from a low of 2.08 on up to 6.48. It marked an epic intraday run which produced total possible gains on the order of 211%

The move occurred on monstrous volume to the tune of nearly 62X the 3-month average, and stemmed largely from some positive results on one of the company’s trial drugs, announced Tuesday. >> READ PR

With the kind of momentum we’ve witnessed building up in just a single session from PBMD, we’re very interested to continue to follow the price action. A significant dip-and-rip scenario could soon present itself.


IsoRay, Inc. ISR

We also tagged ISR in yesterday’s extended watchlist, and it too shot up rapidly with the help of optimistic results from one of its own drug trials. From an early low of 1.86, the stock ran up as high as 3.38, carving out an intraday rip of 82%

This morning, we saw ISR go as high as 4.00 in premarket trading, extending the overnight range on this play to an eyebrow-raising 115%

We’ll certainly be monitoring this stock as we cruise into week’s end. Like PBMD, we’ll be on the lookout for profit-taking to possibly put a dip-and-rip scenario into effect.


Holiday Island Holdings, Inc. HIHI

In our closing thought from yesterday’s report, we called attention to a massive one-third share reduction being enacted by HIHI, and were extremely pleased to have done so. From a low of .0015, the stock broke out to hit .00265; a healthy move totaling 76%

We then saw it pull back into the close, but we’re not finished monitoring the stock by any means. We caught wind of a promotion (in which we are not involved) going out on HIHI this morning, which could provide us with an impeccably-timed boost to extend our profits as we look to take them off the table.


In light of the monumental performances we’ve seen out of news-fueled pharma plays this week, we’ve dug up a few more this morning for us to pin to our watchlists:

Calithera Biosciences, Inc. CALA

Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ATNM

Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. AMPE


Extended Watchlist:
NSPR, CTP, AVEO

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ESPR Highlights & Much More

Yesterday, on a day when the market as a whole was faltering, we’re proud to say we managed to bring our readers several opportunities to gain in both stocks and options:

Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. ESPR- Options Ideas

ESPR turned out to be a great call for us in yesterday’s morning report. The stock itself made an impressive session-long move from a low of 82.69 up to 100.50 (+22%), resulting in some monstrous spikes for the options ideas we highlighted.

We raised a flag of interest on in-the-money Weekly Calls, and were rewarded with mega-spikes across the board:

$80 Calls – Trading Range: 4.00-20.00  Max Gain: 400%
$85 Calls – Trading Range: 2.15-14.50  Max Gain: 574%
$90 Calls – Trading Range: .70-14.50  Max Gain: 1400%
$95 Calls – Trading Range: .64-7.25  Max Gain: 1032%

Even the play we designated as a longer-term selection, the 04/17 $90 Calls, were immediately and significantly impacted, trading in a range from 3.50-14.50. That move was good for intraday gains of up to 314%


As far as our other options calls were concerned, we met with success there as well:

American Airlines Group Inc. AALFor AAL, we zeroed in on the 04/02 $55 Calls which ended up trading up from .79, to as high as 1.11, marking a 40% intraday gain. Any other contracts that got pushed into the money would have also provided excellent opportunities for successful day-trades.

Apple, Inc. AAPL – On AAPL, we mentioned that we’d be watching the 04/02 $129 Calls and those made a healthy run from 1.25-1.80, for a chance at profit in excess of 44% on the day.



Other Standouts From Tuesday

There was significant excitement over the success of our options calls yesterday, but we still don’t want these other notable gainers from our watchlist to get lost in the shuffle:

Propanc Health Group Corp. PPCH – Trading Range: .0211-.03 – Max Gain: 42%

Microvision, Inc. MVIS – Trading Range: 3.07-3.55 – Max Gain: 16%

NovaBay Pharma, Inc. NBY – Trading Range: .56-.65 – Max Gain: 16%

Black Diamond, Inc. BDE – Trading Range: 8.45-9.84 – Max Gain: 16%


Side Note:

We are going to be sitting on the sidelines watching like hawks until we hear from Janet Yellen as the big FOMC meeting kicks off today. What she ultimately has to say will likely sway the markets one way or the other; we will wait to see which direction they’re going to go.

If the bull market remains intact, we’ll be looking to go long on SPY Calls.  Should the direction be a downward one, we can entertain UVXY and/or VIX Calls. Remember: Whatever way it plays out, we’ll want to stay in-the-money with our strike prices.
