Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Updates, Fresh Plays & More

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. KBLB

We alerted KBLB in Wednesday morning’s premarket report, and on that day, we would observe a PPS low of .0261. Yesterday, the stock hit a high of .0395, for a respectable two-session upswing of 51%

Following that solid run-up, we saw the stock close at .0375, maintaining a vast majority of its advance. We’ll continue to keep a steady eye on KBLB, and look for it to maintain support above the .03-mark in order to keep us interested.


Potential Bottom-Plays

Rennova Health, Inc. RNVA – We have an interesting story unfolding with RNVA, and a potential rebound opportunity as well. After briefly cracking its 50DMA on Wednesday, the stock took a major gut punch yesterday as it gapped down immensely.

It seems a bit of an overreaction after reading the PR that apparently catalyzed the selloff. The company announced yesterday that it had priced a public offering with the intent of raising upwards of $8.6M in capital, expected to close by Tuesday. They set the purchase price at .45, which is why a massive slide to less than .30 seemed disproportionate.

We’ll be interested to see the activity in this now majorly-oversold stock in sessions to come.

Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. AMPE
– Speaking of stocks that have recently gapped down hard and found new lows, we have AMPE hitting our bottom-play radar.

Similar to the aforementioned play, the selloff occurred as a result of what some might construe as over-reactive. The company released data from a clinical study at the end of last month on its osteoarthritis injection treatment that was poorly-received.  However, while the primary endpoints of the double-blind study were not met, the treatment was markedly effective in improving the patients with the most extreme cases of the condition.

So the study was not a total loss, and the company made clear its intent to submit an FDA application for the treatment for those severely afflicted patients that were helped, and for whom no other non-surgical alternative exists.

That’s why we’ll be keeping an eye on AMPE to continue to regain some of its lost ground, as it has done over the past few sessions.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SFEG Review & More

Santa Fe Gold Corp. SFEG

SFEG, a stock we’ve been continuously tracking since Friday morning, has provided us with ample opportunities to profit in each session since then. The first day, a move from .0115-.0165 was good for gains of up to 43%  To open up the week on Tuesday, it amazingly ran from .0194 all the way up to .044, an added move of 127%

Then in yesterday morning’s premarket report, we relayed to our readers that a dip-and-rip scenario could be in the cards granted the rapidity with which the stock shot up in the prior session. That’s exactly what came to pass, as SFEG peeled back slightly to an even .04 in the morning before gathering a head of steam that would carry it up to a new high of .065!

It went down in the books as an intraday gain of 62% and from our observed low of .0115 on Friday, it marked an incredible three-session swing of 465% Big cheers go out to anyone who took advantage of this momentum-mover! Stipulating that the stock must hold support at or above yesterday’s swing low of .04 to hold our attention, we’ll be on the lookout for further opportunities from this point forward.


Gold Resource Corp. GORO

Speaking of momentum, we’re going to circle back around to GORO this morning for an update on its recent progress. We flagged this play for observation just under two weeks ago and subsequently witnessed it trading as low as 3.19 , and in the last four sessions, the stock has done a good job of both recording higher lows and higher highs, as well as logging a higher trading volume each day.

From a low of 3.41 a week ago today, GORO hit a high of 4.69 yesterday afternoon, which marks a solid upswing of 38%  Over the aforementioned observed low, it represented a total move of 47% in a matter of six sessions. We’ll be following this play for as long as it continues to exhibit signs of bullishness, building a higher base level of support in sessions to come.


Marinus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. MRNS

We also want to quickly draw some attention to MRNS, which gave a strong bottom-bounce signal yesterday in addition to having a simply monstrous gap on the chart to fill to the upside, and positive signals abounding. The RSI has just escaped heavily-oversold territory, while the MACD has just crossed in a bullish manner.

We’ll definitely want to keep this stock on our radars as we head into the end of this short week, and possibly into next week as well, since the filling of the gap you see below would mean gains of over 100% from the current PPS.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: New Options Ideas & More

Bon-Ton Stores, Inc. BONT

The markets as a whole have been beaten back this week, but in some cases, that can provide opportunities for stock bargains. One potential candidate that we’re going radar today is BONT, for numerous reasons.

First of which, the stock has just recorded a new 52-week low on the heels of some marginally disappointing Q2 figures, and all of our regular readers are quite aware of our affinity for a good recovery play. BONT also has a relatively low market cap for a company with its assets and revenues, thus it currently has the appearance of being undervalued in our opinion
.
Lastly we are heading into retail season, a time when department stores such as Bon-Ton generally experience increased sales, with school shopping in full swing and the holidays rapidly approaching. This and other retail stocks have traditionally been a boon to us as fall approaches, often offering a reprieve from the dog days of summer.


Direxion Daily Jr Gld Mnrs Bull (JNUG)

When the markets undergo the kind of distress we’ve been experiencing recently, many investors seek shelter in precious metals. We’ve turned to JNUG in the past in situations like these, so we’re going to be monitoring this fund for as long as stocks continue to struggle.

We’ve formulated the following options ideas for the JNUG chain:

To take advantage of the possibility of a protracted rebound, we’re going track the JNUG Weekly $12-13 Calls for chances at intraday flip opportunities, and in the event of a continued uptrend, we’ll flag the 08/28 $12-13 Calls for a longer-term idea.


Deere & Co. DE

On decreased Q4 guidance and a 40% drop in  quarterly profits, DE is taking a pounding in premarket trading today. The stock is trending below the 200DMA of 89.54, having gone as low as 85.72. If the stock doesn’t manage to rebound above to that 200DMA, we’ll look for it to continue its tumble. As a related options idea, we’re going to tag DE 09/04 $87-84 Puts for observation.
