UnitedHealth Group, Inc. UNH – We were just reporting on the solid gains made by our UNH idea yesterday, the UNH Weekly $270-277.50 Calls.

Moderna Inc. MRNA

We began tracking MRNA at the end of February, initially tagging the stock on February 27th and then again on March 16th. After seeing a low of 19.31 following that report, MRNA has been making steady headway in its run up the chart which has persisted for more than a month now.

Yesterday we saw a new recorded high of 41.55, which represents an overall increase of 115% since we began following the activity in MRNA.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TLRY, DCTH Updates & More

Tilray, Inc. TLRY – Update

We’ve been tracking TLRY since last Tuesday, and in that time not only has the stock made an incredible move, (87.50 to nearly $260 in premarket trading today: +165% ) but the options we signaled at the time, the TLRY 09/21 $91-93 Calls, have also made huge gains.

Here are the updated ranges on the options contracts, but please note that all of these will almost certainly be trading over $100 after TLRY’s eye popping premarket increases this morning:

$91 Calls – Range: 6.43-58.23 – Max Gain: 805%
$92 Calls – Range: 5.51-57.50 – Max Gain: 944%
$93 Calls – Range: 5.23-60.00 – Max Gain: 1047%

Because TLRY is a cannabis stock and is drawing a ton of attention to the space right now, and because we are heading into the hottest time of the year for cannabis stocks we are, as always, keeping a close eye on the pot sector.

Cronos Group, Inc. CRON is one other play from that space which has also showed some interesting trading activity. We began watching it a couple weeks ago, and despite some pullback, the stock regained all that ground and is currently testing resistance at 13.39. A break of that price should make things much more interesting for CRON.

Several other cannabis related plays to keep an eye on, but by no means an exhaustive list:

NXTTF, MYMMF, APHQF, RVVTF, TBPMF, SPRWF, INSY, AGTK, ACBFF, CANN, NGTF, MSRT, POTN, PNTV, CNBX, OWCP, GCAN



Delcath Systems, Inc. DCTH

We also want to swing back around for an update on another hot stock we recently signaled interest in, with DTCH. We slotted this play into our watchlist roughly three weeks ago on August 28th as the stock was trading as low as 1.76. It has since reached a new high of 5.60, which works out to an increase of 218%
_____

More Quick Updates: Both of the stocks we mentioned in yesterday’s report also set new highs. Here are those highs, along with the total possible gains that they’ve provided since our next most recent alerts on these plays:

New Age Beverage Holdings, Inc. NBEV
1.50-3.40 (+127%)

Aurora Cannabis, Inc. ACBFF
4.04-8.92 (+121%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Cannabis Reminder

CANNABIS REMINDER

We took full advantage of the recent earnings season with a ton of great options ideas, but things are cooling down on that front for the moment. To start off this week, we’ll put our ever-continuing options search on hold for today, to bring our readers an annual reminder.

Each year as the summer season begins to wind down, we like to pull together a sizable watchlist for the cannabis space. The Autumn season has traditionally been the legal and medical marijuana industries’ most active in terms of movement on charts. The pattern has repeated itself year after year, so with the market appearing relatively quiet at the moment, now is a good time to reassert our interest in cannabis sector stocks for the coming of the fall rush.

The following is not an exhaustive list, merely a few old favorites, but we ensourage our readers to seek out and monitor any stock that is related to the field:

AGTK, ACBFF, CANN, NGTF, MSRT, POTN, PNTV, CNBX, OWCP


Avalon Holdings Corp. AWX

We’d also like to quickly share the performance of AWX following its inclusion in our premarket watchlist on Friday. Early on in the session, the stock ran from a low of 4.52, and went on to hit 6.79, which works out to a respectable intraday pop of 50%  That was sufficient to register as the NASDAQ’s #2 mover on the day.
