Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Tuesday’s Winning Calls & More

Bottom Watchlist Updates

We rooted out three fresh bottom-bounce plays in yesterday’s premarket report, and got the continuing rebound action we were looking for in all three cases. The performance was enough to keep their spots on our radar for the time being.

Dynavax Technologies Corp. DVAX – To go along with the stock’s rebound (13.13-14.42, +10%), we formulated an options trading idea for the DVAX chain and those plays worked out very well. The DVAX 09/16 $12 and $13 Calls were our target contracts and both offered up the chance at some rapid intraday gains.

The $12’s made their way from a low of 1.40 up to 2.68 for a 91% push, and the $13’s far exceeded that with a move from .70 to 3.61. That was good for a multi-bag rip on the order of 416%
______

ITT Educational Services, Inc. ESI – This one made a good, solid move to reinforce our idea that the stock was due for a nice rally. ESI traded in a range from .30-.48 on the day, representing a shot at single-session gains of up to 60%
______

Eldorado Gold Corp. EGO– This one didn’t make a monstrous move, trading up from a low 3.48-3.71 (+7%), but it did maintain the majority of its advance. Our interest remains as long as the pattern of higher highs and higher lows is sustained.


Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. NAVB

The bottom-watchlist plays weren’t the only calls from yesterday’s report to go our way. The first in a pair of nice gainers off of our extended watchlist was NAVB. The stock traded up from an early low of .50, and made a 68% move en route to the high at .84.

The stock closed strong, just a few cents below the high at .8047 so we will want to continue monitoring it for signs of continued momentum.


Signal Bay Inc. SGBY

SGBY was the other runner from the watchlist, which included an intraday run from a penny up to .0159, a 59% pop. With a strong close at .0149, this play will remain on our list of interests as well.

Petroleo Brasiliero, S.A. (Petrobras) PBR – Options

PBR continued to recover off its 52-week lows on Thursday, with the stock reaching as high as 6.79. As a result the contracts that we’ve had under observation since the Thursday prior to that, continued to see some action after being pushed further into the money.

The 05/01 PBR $6 Calls, in which we saw a low of .32, reached a closing price of .78; a 142% move. The $6.50 Calls’ run was even more impressive. Our observed low on those was .22, and on Thursday they closed at .60 (+172%). Anyone who had played the Weeklies could have been in for serious gains. The Weekly $6.50’s for example, traded in a range from .05-.28.

PBR is gapping up into the 6.90’s this morning, so we’ll be looking to roll our strike price up  and begin monitoring the 05/01 and Weekly $7 Calls.


Pervasip Corp. PVSP

Despite the fact that PVSP registered a high of .0035 on Thursday, that was what we refer as a “fat-finger trade” right at the open. Not much volume really went off at that level so its inadequate to calculate the gains we have seen based off of that figure.

There was, however, good trading volume as high .0023-level. From Wednesday’s low of .0013, we were offered the chance at up to 77% in profits in a span of just 24 hours.

The gains in this play have been easy to come by thus far, and it’s going to be one that we keep a continual eye on just as long as it continues to perform well.


Northstar Global Business Services, Inc. MDIN

We initially alerted MDIN last Wednesday  and on that day, the stock traded in a range from .0006 to .001, a 66% spike. On Thursday it achieved higher highs and higher lows as it ran from .0008 to .0012, offering 50% intraday gains and a 100% gain from our observed low the day before.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: GWPH, MCRS, COCO & More

GW Pharmaceuticals, Inc. GWPH

We were hot on the trail of GWPH last week, first bringing to our readers’ attention on Tuesday, and following it pretty intensely after that. It was another winning call, and we were rewarded by huge gains in the options contracts that we were tracking.

If you refer to Tuesday’s report, we put the $80-85 Calls on watch. At the time, the $80 Calls were trading at a low of 2.80, and on Friday, they reached an incredible $15. That’s a mega-move of 471% in just four sessions!

The $85 Calls were even more impressive, starting out at a low of .35 following Tuesday’s tag, and absolutely skyrocketing to Friday’s high of 11.30. There aren’t enough superlatives to describe how pleased we were with that titanic run, which amounted to an intraweek increase of 3,128%

GWPH serves as an excellent example of why our daily coverage of the hottest opportunities on the markets has included more and more options plays than ever before. It is a great way to leverage relatively small moves by a stock, into what you can see are some astonishing chances for major-league gains.

An added note: Granted the fact that GWPH is a cannabis related play, we thought we’d mention the fact that New York just became the latest state to green-light a medical marijuana program for its residents. Between that, the upcoming 1st Annual WeedStock Conference in Denver, and the approaching start of Washington State’s legal sales, we wouldn’t be surprised if the marijuana sector began to pick up as we head into mid-summer. We’ll be keeping this and other related stocks on closer watch over the next several weeks.


MICROS Systems, Inc. MCRS

MCRS took off on Friday when word of a rumored buyout hit the street, and we now have confirmation that Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) will indeed acquire MCRS at a price of $68/share. We’re going to be peeking our heads in on this play as we kick off a new trading week.

The stock is gapping up close to the exercise price of the buyout this morning; often when we run across a situation such as this, the stock can have a hard time superseding the buyout price. However, if MCRS can get over the $68-mark, there could be some room left to the upside that would cause us to take interest in the $65-70 Calls.

Currently, the $65 Calls are trading at 3.75, and the $70’s are trading at 1.35- we’ll be monitoring those closely once we get a feel for how MCRS is going to respond.


Corinthian Colleges, Inc. COCO

COCO is catching our attention today as a stock that absolutely fell off a cliff last week, and appears to want to begin to retrace its steps, after bouncing on Friday, and continuing to gap-up in the pre-market this morning.

We always like to follow plays like this one closely, as stocks in recovery-mode have rewarded us time and time again in the past. News out today reported that the company will be receiving the necessary funds to continue its daily operations.

SANTA ANA, Jun 23, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) — Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (Nasdaq:COCO) announced today that it has reached a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. Department of Education (the “Department”) that maintains uninterrupted daily operations at its schools, until the Company and the Department finalize a more detailed transition plan. Corinthian currently serves about 72,000 students at 107 campuses and online. >>> FULL PR
