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.

Bottom-Bounce Watchlist

We’ve got a trio of potential bottom-plays hitting our scanner this morning, and as our regular readers are surely aware, we’re quite fond of bargain-basement prices. Our history is chock-full of solid recovery based gains.

Eldorado Gold Corp. EGO – This gold play showed up on our radar this morning after Friday saw the stock record a hint of a rise off of its lowest PPS since early April. As you can see on the included snapshot below, the chart is boasting an RSI that appears ready to come off of being oversold, with clear convergence on the MACD hinting at an impending bullish cross. We’ll place this one on watch for upcoming sessions as we kick off this short trading week.


______

ITT Educational Services, Inc. ESI – This stock showed signs of life on Friday, coming up off of the new 52-week low it registered on Thursday. In addition to being egregiously oversold at this point, there is a monstrous gap on the chart from the low-.70’s on up to the 1.40 range. We’ll be looking for an eventual fill which would of course spell gains approaching 100%

______

Dynavax Technologies Corp. DVAX – In a moderate morning gap-up, DVAX has already begun to regain some of the ground it lost on Friday following the FDA’s decision to delay its decision on the company’s hepatitis vaccine. No surprise, as the 30% selloff seemed a bit of an overreaction.

We’ll look for the rebound in progress to continue, and will remain interested provided it maintains support above this morning’s premarket low of 12.27. Bonus Options Idea: If the recovery unfolds as we suspect it might, we’ll be anxious to tracj the activity in the DVAX 09/16 $12 and $13 Calls.

Auscrete Corp. ASCK

We also want to provide a brief update on ASCK, a subpenny play which we placed on watch in Wednesday’s premarket report. After coming down to find support at .0023 the stock ultimately reached a new high of .0065 on Friday.

It marked an intraweek swing of 183% and qualified for a continued spot on our working watchlist.

NAVB, KGJI, SGBY, NAV, SPU

Fresh Bottom-Watchlist

Our morning scan yielded up a couple of stocks trading at or near their relative bottoms that we want to put on the radar this midweek.

Canadian Solar, Inc. CSIQ

CSIQ began showing some life yesterday after it briefly touched its lowest PPS since last summer and began to rebound into the close. This morning, a Q1 earnings beat is fueling a gap-up into the $17-range. We’ll be on the lookout for quick-strike options trades with the CSIQ Weekly $16.50-18 Calls. Especially if a dip-and-rip occurs at the outset, we could really see some significant intraday swings out of contracts in that range.

Sequenom, Inc. SQNM

SQNM is interesting as a bottom-watcher on a couple of different levels. Not only is it extremely low-priced for a NASDAQ play at just over the exchange minimum PPS of a dollar, but it has also seen an influx of insider buying this week. We’ll have to stay wary as chart indicators suggest the stock may yet need to search out its ultimate bottom, but we’ll be ready for a rebound at any time in coming sessions. It could come quickly in this case, so keep your eyes peeled.

Macy’s Inc. M – Options Idea

We’ve also got our eyes on Macy’s this morning, which has been on a fairly continuous downslide for the better part of three weeks, and is getting kicked hard again in premarket trading this morning.

The company tempered its guidance for the remainder of the year, and missed estimates on sales considerably in this morning’s earning call. We’re going to look to turn the bearish sentiment surrounding the stock at the into a possible boon for ourselves. To do this we’ll look to the M Weekly $36-34 Puts for possible daytrades and/or swing trades into week’s end.
