Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MNKD Recap & More

MannKind Corp. MNKD

We’ve been tracking MNKD pretty closely since April (saw a low of .6662 in May), and more recently, mentioned it in both Monday’s and yesterday’s premarket reports.

The intraweek swing made by the stock has been rather impressive, as it ran from a low of 2.01 on Monday to a new high of 6.51 yesterday. That works out to an increase of 224% Even readers who only caught yesterday’s alert still had a shot at gains of up to 80% (3.62-6.51).

Now’s a good time to mention our daily traders chats for the first time in awhile. These Skype-based live chats are open to any of our readers (Send contact request to “stocksumo”), and often provide added ideas over and above what we include in our daily premarket newsletters.

We signaled the MNKD Weekly $3.50 Calls and as you can see on the included snapshots, those subsequently ran from .40-2.80 for an intraday burst of 600%


Today we’ll want to keep an eye on the $5.00 and $5.50 Calls* in case MNKD wants to test that 6+ range again. We may also look to the 10/20 $5.50 and $6.00 Calls for possible swing trades in coming sessions.

*Important: Never trade options with a weekly expiration on a Friday unless you’re an expert trader with disposable funds. It’s extremely risky.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: RGSE Review & More

Real Goods Solar, Inc. RGSE

We put RGSE on watch in yesterday morning’s premarket watchlist, and it turned out to be the number one gainer of the day for us.

The stock traded in a range from 1.78 up to 3.25, for an intraday gain of 83% on immense volume of more than 410X the monthly average. It marked the second time this week that we caught a huge PR which rocketed a previously stagnant stock into the stratosphere, after seeing the same thing with ECYT on Monday.

The company entered into an exclusive license agreement with The Dow Chemical Company for the POWERHOUSE™ solar shingles system, an innovative and aesthetically pleasing solar shingle system developed by Dow. (>>View PR)

We’ll continue to keep an eye on this play and watch for the establishment of higher highs and higher lows in coming sessions.


Constellation Brands, Inc. STZ – Options Idea

We’ve been waiting for a solid earnings beat gapper, which is typically the type of play we look for with regard to quick strike options ideas. STZ fits the mold today, after posting enhanced profits and outlook this morning.

The stock has been in a general uptrend for the whole of 2017, trading in an upward channel and is presently gapping up to new all-time highs. The range of calls we’ll be tracking after what could very well be a classic dip-and-rip formation are going to be the STZ 10/20 $210-220 Calls. That gives us a couple weeks to potentially see one or more significant swing trade opportunities.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ANF Review & More

Abercrombie & Fitch Co. ANF

We’ve been going heavy on the options front all week, and one of the fresh ideas we came up with for our premarket report yesterday morning, were the ANF Weekly $10 & $11 Calls.

Despite posted losses on their earnings report, they still beat the expectation, and the move the stock made facilitated some pretty nice gains in our highlighted contracts. The $10 Calls traded in a range from .60 up to 1.48 for a 146% rip, while the $11 Calls ran hard from .11 to .53, marking a stellar move of 382%

We’re seeing another premarket push this morning, so we’ll definitely want to continue to track the activity* here as we close out another trading week.

* We don’t include mentions of weekly options contracts on a Friday without explicitly warning our readers every single time. Trading weekly options at the end of the week is an exceedingly risky proposition that should never be attempted by beginning or novice traders!


MoSys, Inc. MOSY

We included a mention of MOSY in yesterday morning premarket report, and while it didn’t necessarily produce a blockbuster run, its intraday performance was respectable.

We saw the stock trade up from an early low of 1.06 and reach 1.35, which comes out to a modest 27% rise. It did so on volume to the tune of more than 14X the monthly average.
