Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Another PBR Update & More

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A (Petrobras) PBR – Options

Petrobras continues to be one of our main conduits to making large gains. We were able to carve out another chunk of profits on Friday as the stock hit a new high for us, traversing its way up the chart to peak at 15.92. Considering we picked up on this play in the low $11-range shortly following its 10-year lows back in March, we’d call its performance since then nothing short of amazing.

Of course, our real bread and butter here has been the options chain. Last week was yet another victory for anyone playing the Call side, with every contract we were watching making some nice strides.

In particular, the 07/19 $15 Calls that we’ve been tracking for weeks now have done beautifully, hitting a new high on Friday at 1.25. From the 25-cent low we observed in the week prior, that marks a walloping 400% move!

As we’ve stated before, we will continue to stick with monitoring PBR for as long as it continues to serve us up ripe opportunities for profit.

Intuitive Surgical, Inc. ISRG

ISRG comes back to us this morning as a play that we inserted into our running watchlist back at the beginning of May. On the 6th, we mentioned that the stock could provide us with “potential gains over the next several weeks,” and while it took awhile for things to get moving, that statement still stands.

One of our points of focus was on the ISRG chart were a pair of gap-downs that had transpired in recent weeks, and we’ll still be looking for a break of that first gap to get things started. Presently we’re looking at the Weekly $385-395 Calls for intraday flip opportunities, but if it appears we’re moving to fill the gap, we may need to roll our strike price up.

Provided ISRG does fill in the gap on the chart from roughly $400-415, over the longer-term we could find ourselves looking at The Aug.-Oct. $420-440 Calls.

Solar Wind Energy tower, Inc. SWET

We put SWET on our radar on Friday, and will continue to monitor the stock over the course of the week. The chart is exhibiting signs of ripening, and looks to still be right on the verge of potentially making a nice move, so we want to keep a sharp eye on the activity here as we kick off a new trading week.

The company released some news this morning about a cash infusion they’ve received, and we’re also going to look out for potential updates concerning SWET’s presenting at the NIBA (National Investment Banking Association) conference tomorrow (Tue. 17th).

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ACGX Update

Alliance Creative Group, Inc. ACGX

We thought today would be a good time to revisit ACGX given the current positioning of the chart. For some of our newer readers; this was a play that has afforded us the chance at some stellar gains over the past couple of months.

Following a huge run to more than a penny back in April, we monitored ACGX for a bottom, which it found at .0035 (May 9th). Since that time, it has made a couple of significant swings, where it has run into some resistance at the .006-.0064 area. We are currently observing another strong move off of its most recent swing-low, with the stock having made higher lows for the past five consecutive sessions.

As you can see on the included chart, ACGX is on the fringe of cracking through its 50DMA, the RSI is about to flip up to the strong side, and the MACD appears to be setting up for a bullish cross. With these factors in alignment, we’re going to want to pay closer attention to ACGX over the course of the week.

Remember, per a recent PR, at the end of the month Alliance will be attending the 1st Annual Weedstock Conference in Denver (June 29-July 1), so we’ll be interested to receive an update on that come July.

Provectus Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. PVCT

We spotted PVCT on a routine scan this morning, and wanted to include it given the current situation. The stock recently became the target of an upcoming class action lawsuit, and was actually halted on May 23rd. this led to a major selloff when trading resumed, triggering a gap-down.

It appears as if the firm handling suit has another couple of months to pull together plaintiffs for the case, so we’ll be long gone by the time that comes around. We are interested in PVCT purely for the potential for quick-strike opportunities as it corrects itself off of its recent lows in the .30-.70 range.

The re-filling of even a fraction of the gap on the chart could mean rapid profits for us, so we’ll be keeping an eye on this stock over the next few sessions.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AAPL & ORFG Updates, Extended Watchlist

AAPL Options

At the risk of starting to sound like a broken record, anyone who was into the AAPL Calls that we were monitoring last week would have had a smile on their faces on Friday.

AAPL pushed its way up to highs over $644, which sent all the contracts that we were looking at into a frenzy; there were so many big gains, we won’t bore you with all of the individual figures, let’s just say that saavy traders could have managed to come away with gains on the order of several hundred percent.

Adding that performance to all of the progress in prior sessions, and AAPL easily qualifies as our biggest potential money-maker over the past few weeks.

Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference begins today, and remember, there’s also a forward split coming, so there’s every chance that we have yet to see what AAPL, and more specifically, AAPL options, can really do for us.

Timeline of the Upcoming Split:

The Record Date – June 2, 2014 – determines which shareholders are entitled to receive additional shares due to the split.

The Split Date – June 6, 2014 – shareholders are due split shares after the close of business on this date.

The Ex Date – June 9, 2014 – the date determined by NASDAQ when Apple common shares will trade at the new split-adjusted price.

Orofino Gold Corp. ORFG

Our other interest from Friday also made some progress; ORFG registered higher lows and higher highs for the third consecutive day. We picked up on this play Thursday, and would observe a low of .0175 at that time. On Friday the stock pushed as high .0255, which marked a nice 46% move over the span of just two sessions.

The chart is still looking pretty ripe, as we’ve pointed out below. If ORFG can break through the channel of resistance in the .026 to .03, we could be looking at even bigger gains, so we’ll be staying tuned.
