Blue Horseshoe Stocks: DPW, PTOP & More

Peer to Peer Network PTOP

We originally alerted on PTOP on the morning of November 8th, well before the huge run that the stock would launch into weeks later on the back of bitcoin-hysteria. Our observed low on this crypto-related play was all the way down at .0004.

Flash forward to this week, and PTOP has been launched to new highs as Bitcoin itself continues to set new all-time highs, this morning hitting $11,855.73 shortly after 8:30am eastern.

Yesterday the stock hit .014, marking a 3,400% increase from our witnessed low, in a matter of just twelve trading days!


Digital Power Corp. DPW

We signaled DPW, another crypto play, in yesterday mornings premarket report, and it too surged to new highs with the help of the continued bitcoin explosion, as well as the company’s unveiling its subsidiary’s plans to launch a line of line of advanced hardware for digital mining of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin.

Our call came just in the nick of time for us to catch a very solid intraday run from DPW, which traded up from a low of 2.15 to a high of 3.49, recording a 63% intraday push to the upside. It’s also closed at its high of day on heavy volume./ Coupled with this morning’s new all time highs for Bitcoin, and we have the conditions necessary for this stock to continue its bullish ways.


Eagle Bancorp, Inc. EGBN

After realizing that EGBN had been the target of short-seller manipulation, we reported this to our readers yesterday morning, and placed the EGBN 12/15 $50-60 Calls on watch “for what should be a forthcoming recovery”. We’ve already seen our take on the situation vindicated in one session, as the stock rebounded predictably after having taken a nosedive on Friday.

That resulted in a good start to our extended-term recovery options ideas, with the following intraday gains being posted:

$50 Calls – Range: 4.40-7.60 – Max Gain: 73%
$55 Calls – Range: 1.80-3.90 – Max Gain: 117%
$60 Calls – Range: .40-1.20 – Max Gain: 200%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Cannabis Commentary & More

NeoPhotonics Corp. NPTN

We’re always bargain hunting for stocks that have been recently beaten back to what appear to be unsustainably low levels, and we’re observing one heck of a double bottom setup on NPTN at the present time.

Twice now the stock has touched and rebounded off of the mid-$4 range, with the annual low coming in at 4.56. We’re going to want to place NPTN on watch in sessions to come and look for the stock to establish higher levels of support.



Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. VRX

It’s been awhile since we had a look at VRX, and as it turns out, this is another stock that looks ready to start a trend off of a recent relative low.

VRX is gapping up considerably into the $14-range this morning on the heels of a solid earnings beat. We’re going to signal a range of options contracts to watch for some possible dip-and-rip activity. This is just the type of setup we routinely look for, and we’ll be tracking the VRX Weekly $13-14 Calls for the remainder of the week.



Cannabis Commentary

It has been a slow year in general for many domestic cannabis stocks, due, at least in part, to a DOJ led by outspoken marijuana opponent Jeff Sessions. It has created an environment of uncertainty pertaining to the federal government’s likelihood of creating problems for marijuana businesses, even in states where voters have officially spoken and legalized the plant. The marijuana movement is here to stay, but at present, is dealing with this roadblock of sorts.

That doesn’t mean our interest in the sector has diminished. In fact, we’re as exuberant about the future of the cannabis industry as we ever were. North of the Border, Canadians will enact a nationwide end to prohibition just 8 months from now.

The World Anti-Doping Agency, which was formed by the International Olympic Committee to police the use of performance enhancing drugs in athletics, also recently removed Cannabidiol (CBD) from its list of banned substances, opening up a huge market for the hemp-derived product.

Here are just a few of the cannabis plays that we track on a regular basis, and will continue to do so as we head into 2018, which we feel is going to be a big year for the industry and all of its subsectors. Maybe the biggest one yet!

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.
