Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Friday’s Winners, Fresh Plays

The GEO Group, Inc. – Options Update

We caught GEO on the heels of a sell-off on Friday morning, and decided to go against the grain with some options calls, the success of which would be predicated upon a solid rebound.

We did in fact witness such a recovery, as GEO stock itself ran from a low of 21.30 up to 23.98. That meant that the target contracts we outlined in Friday’s report were due for some excellent intraday moves. The GEO 09/16 $20 and 22.50 Calls were our highlighted plays, and each of them provided the chance at multi-bag gains on the day.

The $20 Calls traded in a range from 1.61-4.21, for a healthy 161% rip, while the $22.50’s saw an increase from .87 to 2.78, for potential intraday profits as high as 220%

With plenty of time left until their expiration, we’ll have the opportunity to keep monitoring these plays in the event that GEO’s bounceback continues to persist.



Bulova Technologies Group, Inc. BTGI

Also appearing in Friday morning’s premarket report was BTGI, and it too provided us with a significant gain opportunity during the session.

BTGI traded up from its morning low of .0091, surged through the penny mark and ran all the way to .0179, which represented an intraday swing of 97% and occurred on roughly 3.5x its monthly average volume.


Patriot Scientific Corp. PTSC

We’d also like to take a minute to outline the significant intraday move recorded by PTSC after appearing in our report on Friday morning.

The stock ran from a low of .0056 up to .0099, marking a single-session rip of 77%

Fresh Options Ideas

The GEO Group, Inc. – We’ve run across an interesting situation with GEO, in the wake of the Federal government’s announcement of a private correctional facility phase-out. The stock took an absolute pounding as a result yesterday, but is showing some signs of rebounding with the help of a contrary PR this morning.

Despite the impending federal cutbacks, (nearly half of GEO’s business comes from federal government contracts) we’ve now received word that the Bureau of Prisons has extended the company’s contract on the D. Ray James Correctional Facility in Folkston, GA through September of 2018. (>> View PR)

On the chance of seeing a continued rebound in the days or weeks ahead, we’re going to radar the GEO 09/16 $20 and 22.50 Calls for possible swing trades.

Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. FOXA – A couple of things are drawing us toward entering an options idea into the log for FOXA today. In addition to the stock currently approaching oversold territory while trading at its 6-month lows, we’ve also noticed a series of Form-4 buys that have come in on Tuesday, Wednesday, and yesterday amounting to roughly $78M.

It’s leading us to place a range of extended-term contracts on watch, namely the FOXA 09/30 $25-27 Calls.


Force Protection Video Equipment Corp. FPVD

We wanted to provide a final update on FPVD this morning, which has appeared in every one of our reports since Tuesday. At the time, the stock saw a low of .0168, and it spent the next three sessions making monstrous moves to the upside.

Despite peeling back significantly into the close, FPVD gave one heck of a last hurrah early in yesterday’s session, running 122% intraday from the open at .045 to a high of .0999. At its peak, FPVD had shown us a three-day overall increase amounting to 495%

Unless we begin to see some major rebound activity, we’ll be moving on from FPVD for the time being, but congrats are due to anyone who was following this mega-runner along with us this week!

El Capitan Precious Metals, Inc. ECPN

After observing a low of .1222 in ECPN subsequent to our alert on Wednesday, the stock has done nothing but show steady increases each day since.

Yesterday’s session brought an intraday move of 42% as the stock ran from .193-.275. That new high represents an overall increase of 125% in the four sessions since we began tracking.

Yesterday we stated that ECPN was receiving a rare 100% ‘Buy’ Rating at BARCHART.COM and that remains true this morning.



JC Penney Co. Inc. JCP – Options Update

Our options trading idea from Friday, the JCP 08/19 $9.50-10.50 Calls ended up having another great session for us to start the week yesterday. We mentioned that we’d be on the lookout for those plays to continue the momentum from Friday, when they afforded us gains ranging from 164-640%

It was a good thing that we did, because the three sets of contracts went on to not only make nice intraday moves, but a couple of them also extended our overall observed gains from the previous session by a significant margin.

$9.50 Calls – Range: 1.11-1.76  – Intraday: 59% – Two-Day: 300%
$10 Calls – Range: .63-1.31 – Intraday: 108% – Two-Day: 719%
$10.50 Calls – Range: .30-.83 – Intraday: 177%


MarilynJean Interactive, Inc. MJMI

We’ve been tracking MJMI since early this month, and the stock has performed quite well, mostly experiencing upward momentum during that time.

Our observed low on the play came in at .091 back on the 5th, and as of yesterday’s new high of .30 we had borne witness to an increase of 230%


Innovativ Media Group, Inc. INMG

INMG came off of yesterday’s watchlist, and the stock made a nice move on the day. From a low of .00475, it reached as high as .007 for a solid 47% jump, which occurred on roughly six and a half times the monthly average volume.
