Blue Horseshoe Stocks: KMX Options Update & More

CarMax, Inc. KMX – Options Idea

We formulated several targets in the KMX options chain yesterday morning in accordance with the solid earnings beat and premarket gap-up we were observing.   We specified some medium and longer-term contracts with the KMX C$57.50 and $60 Calls, and the 05/19 $60-$65 Calls. We were more than pleased with the activity that ensued.

We’re usually pretty good with our targeting, and these ideas were no exception. Every single one of the contracts we mentioned provided traders with the chance for some very nice single-session gains.

04/21 $57.50 Calls – Range: .45-1.70 – Max Gain: 278%
04/21 $60 Calls – Range:  .17-.75 – Max Gain: 341%

05/19 $60 Calls – Range: .68-1.54 – Max Gain: 126%
05/19 $62.50 Calls – Range: .28-.82- Max Gain: 193%
05/19 $65 Calls – Range: .11-.38 – Max Gain: 245%

With that kind of activity on the very first day, we’re definitely going to want to keep these plays in mind going forward. There may yet be more opportunities still to come.


Akari Therapeutics, Plc. AKTX

We tagged AKTX in yesterday morning’s extended watchlist and saw a very nice intraday performance. It traded in a daily range from a low of 13.69 to a high of 18.46, which represents a 35% spike on the day.

That move came on more than thirteen times the three-month average volume. On the whole, the activity in AKTX was extremely impressive, especially for a stock in its price range. The stock failed to maintain the majority of its daily advance, but we’ll remain interested provided it can register a higher base level of support to close out the week today.



In Ovations Holdings, Inc. INOH

We’re going to begin monitoring this super-subpenny stock after it just reappeared with its first filings in quite some time; two quarterlies and an annual report can be found at the company’s OTC Market filings page (>>View Filings). The filings bring the company current on its financial reporting.

We’ve seen a number of triple-zero stocks make exponential gains in recent weeks, and want to take a flyer on INOH on the outside chance that it could be the next rocket to leave the launchpad!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Several Key Updates

Intercloud Systems, Inc. ICLD

In yesterday’s report kicking off the new trading week, we backtracked to our alert of ICLD coming in our report from two Thursday’s ago, at which time the stock was trading at a low of .0157.

We mentioned how it had risen exponentially since that report, and specifically cautioned our readers to track its movements closely right from yesterday’s opening bell. The strength of the ICLD close on Friday was simply too strong to ignore and despite already having spiked considerably for us up to that point, the stock turned in another fantastic intraday performance.

From an early low of .05, the stock ran all the way to .0869 during the course of a session where it steadily climbed all day long and closed near its high. That marked an intraday boost of 74% and and an overall move up of 340% from our observed low from Thursday the 2nd,

Once again, with the intensely bullish close to another session, we’re going to have our eyes peeled for further moves from ICLD, whether they come in the form of a continued push upward, or are preceded by a dip-and-rip pattern off of these impressive highs.


Ciber, Inc. CBR

Prior to yesterday, CBR had been stuck in a rut for quite some time, but we noticed some abnormal premarket activity and decided to include it in yesterday’s report. It was a good idea, with CBR running from .4329 to .65, which works out to a 50% intraday pop.

The move came in conjunction with the company announcement that it was mulling over an unsolicited offer to be acquired through merger by Ameri Holdings, Inc. (AMRH) which values it at .75/share of CBR stock.

Given that the stock is still trading in the low .60’s at present, we’ll be interested to continue to monitor its progress as the company deliberates the merger offer.


More Key Updates

Cerulean Pharmaceuticals, Inc. CERU – We began tracking CERU just over a month ago, and after an extended period of slow and steady increases, finally yesterday the stock broke out in a more significant manner.

Our initial alert on CERU came on the 3rd of February, at which time the stock was trading at a low of 1.11. Yesterday the stock streaked to an impressive new high of 2.65, which comes out to a total upswing of 139%

______

Aurinia Pharmaceuticals, Inc. AUPH –  AUPH is another stock we’ve been tracking for much of 2017 so far that also broke to new highs yesterday. We witnessed a low of 2.95 in AUPH subsequent to our alert on the stock dated January 27th. Gradual increases over the next month would occur, and since we’ve hit the month of March, the stock has been going haywire.

Yesterday AUPH soared to (and closed at) 10.54 which represents a total move of 257% in less than six weeks!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ICLD, CATB Recaps & More

Intercloud Systems, Inc. ICLD

We caught ICLD coming off of its bottom, and tagged the stock in our report from two Thursday’s ago on the 2nd. Subsequent to that, we would witness a low of .0157 in the stock, and since then it has been one big bullish run that led to an impressive new high on Friday.

We’ve stayed with it each step of the way as it rose from that .0157 low to Friday’s top mark of .0465. That works out to a fantastic move of 196% which occurred over a period of just seven trading sessions.

The sheer amount of activity in the stock on Friday, with more than $6M worth of ICLD shares changing hands, coupled with the strong close has us very interested to track its movements as it leaves the starting gate this morning.

We also prepared a video presentation of the ICLD Chart and its recent movements that you can view by clicking the graphic below:


Catabasis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. CATB

Speaking of catching plays coming off of their bottoms, we signaled CATB in Friday’s premarket report, noting the monster gap on its chart to the upside.

We highlighted this one just in the nick of time, as the move it made during Friday’s session ultimately provided for the filling of around three quarters of that gap. CATB ran from a low of 1.58 and went on to hit a high of 2.76, for a very respectable intraday pop of 75%

In terms of what we want to see moving forward, we’ll be looking for CATB to maintain a level of support each day higher than the previous session.

Side Note: These two winners (ICLD, CATB) from Friday’s report also happened to turn in the two top-gaining performances for the entire NASDAQ exchange for Friday’s session!



Aviragen Therapuetics, Inc. AVIR

We also want to issue a quick alert on yet another potential bottom play that appears to be perfectly primed for a rebound. As you can see plainly on the chart snapshot below, there is a sizable gap to fill to the upside, and our favorite indicators are screaming ‘bullish’ at this point.

The chances of seeing a rebound out of AVIR sooner rather than later seem quite good as we kick off another trading week.
