Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Idea, Rebound Play

Alphabet Inc. GOOG – Options Idea

We want to start things off today by focusing on the possibility of taking advantage of the heavy activity in GOOG on the heels of its post-market earnings release yesterday. As one would expect from an untraded-upon earnings beat, GOOG is spiking considerably in early trading. On a related note, the new figures seem to have allowed Google to surpass Apple for the title of largest U.S. company.

We’ll be on the lookout for a potential early dip, then scan for the choicest action within the range of GOOG Weekly $780-800 Calls. We could be in line to see some hefty intraday and/or intraweek swings out of those contracts if things play out as we suspect they might.

3D Systems Corp. DDD

Despite a general bearish sentiment toward the 3D-printing sector as a whole in the media of late, we are seeing a potential opportunity with regard to DDD. Despite the array of poor publicity hitting newswires, the stock has been bucking the trend with a steady stair-stepping approach up off of its annual lows for the past couple of weeks.

The chart has an attractive look as you can see below, so we’re going to want to monitor DDD in the days and weeks ahead as its chances for an extended recovery seem fair.The first signal we’ll be looking out for is a breach of prior resistance at the highlighted level of 8.50.

Adaptive Medias, Inc. ADTM

ADTM took off like a rocket yesterday on news of a buyout offer of roughly nine times the company’s market cap leading into the session. What resulted was a scramble for shares, and the upward pressure pushed the stock all the way from an early low in the .40-range up to the mid-.70 area.

Subject to shareholder approval, the all-cash transaction would offer $35M, or 1.50/share. From current levels, reaching that price point would mark a roughly 100% move the the upside. We’ll have our eyes peeled for further updates on the deal, as well as the immediate effect that the news will continue to have on the stock.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PBR Options Update & More

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

We called for a potential dip-and-rip play on PBR Calls yesterday, after following the contracts to gains exceeding 200% on Monday-Tuesday’s spike to .64. We did see the dip back down to the .30-range, and the subsequent rip came too, as the $16 Weeklies we’ve tracked from a low of .20 hit the 300% mark at .80 yesterday.

If you recall Tuesday’s report, we said: “Should PBR approach the 16.35-level, we would then have to consider moving up our strike price.”  PBR did indeed test and break that price target (HOD 16.76) during yesterday’s session, and as a result the $16.50 Calls went on a romp from a low of .18 to .46, an impressive single session move of 155%

We hope our meticulous and spot-on forecasting of the PBR Options chain this week has at the very least, illustrated why we like to cover options just as well as stocks. As you can plainly see, the chances for quick gains are plentiful under the right conditions, as evidenced by the exponential profits offered to us by this play, time and time again.

Even as the talking heads saw fit to downgrade PBR earlier this year, we’ve stuck with it as it was coming off of ten-year lows back in March at 11.25, and brought continuous coverage as the stock has bulled its way up to more than $17. This will definitely go down as one of the brightest spots in 2014, a year that has thus far been extremely good to us.

Med-Cannabis Pharma, Inc. MCPI

We mentioned that MCPI might see some momentum carryover from Tuesday’s session in yesterday morning’s report, and that’s just what we saw. The stock would make an intraday move of 25% from .4375-.5475.

.Monday’s initial alert on MCPI gave folks a chance to grab MCPI as low as .355, from which yesterday’s high marked an increase of 54%

It’s also given us a chance to get our feet wet within the slowly-forming Washington State-based cannabis industry. We’ll have our eyes peeled for others that are sure to pop up as the state makes its transition away from prohibition.

Added Note:

World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. WWE 

Just to throw in a new options trading idea as we approach the end of the week, we’re going to be monitoring the WWE 09/20 $15 Calls, which closed at .50 yesterday.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: DDD Update, ISR & Extended Watchlist

3D Systems Corp.  DDD

Our regular readers will recall our initial alert on DDD Options a week ago today– wherein we tagged the $52-53 Calls. In the sessions that followed, we were afforded the chance at some large gains.

The same ideas could have been put to work to kick off this week, so anyone who continued to track DDD along with us, is certainly sitting in a good position now.

For instance, the $52 Calls, which were trading at a low of 2.10, closed at 4.82, a 129% intraday move.

The $53 Calls fared even better, coming very close to yielding a double-bagger as they ran from a low of 1.37 up to 4.10, good for up to 199% in gains.

Some of the other stocks in the 3D Printing sector (Like VJET and SSYS) have also made big moves like DDD, while another play we’ve been monitoring in the space, ONVO, has yet to do so. For this reason, we want to put ONVO on watch as well, in the event that it follows suit with the other stocks in the industry.

IsoRay, Inc. ISR

ISR is one that we are going to add to our watchlist today, and it comes to us as a stock that we feel is in a good spot on its chart. We can see potential value here in the short, medium, or long term, and will begin tracking it from here on out.

As you can observe on the chart below, we’re looking at an ascending wedge on ISR, a pattern which can help to judge its trends. Whichever way it breaks out of the channel is generally where the trend will lead. A dip below support could mean heavy losses, while a breach of resistance could mean a serious breakout.

In premarket trading the stock is currently gapping up above that channel, so we have it on close watch to break out and possibly test its previous swing highs at 3.50 and above. A move past that area on the chart would mean a full-on Blue Sky Breakout, so we definitely want to pay attention.

BARCHART.COM is assigning ISR an 88% Overall “Buy” Rating

RICHLAND, WA–(Marketwired – Jun 24, 2014) – IsoRay, Inc.
