Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Recap of Friday’s Winners

Friday in Review

Good Morning Traders! Today’s a big day for us- we’ve got an interesting new pick coming out in about an hour, so we wanted to take this opportunity to review a couple of plays from Friday’s newsletter that gave standout performances.

iBio, Inc. IBIO

IBIO continued to deliver in what was ultimately a great week for the stock. On Friday we saw this play run from a low of 2.06 to as high as 3.48 toward the end of the session. Congratulations to anyone who took advantage of this 69% rip.

ITT Educational Services, Inc. ESI

ESI managed an early morning spike from 6.97-11.75, affording traders the chance at up to 68% in intraday gains. The move came on roughly 13X the 3-month average volume.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: VSR, IBIO & More

Versar, Inc. VSR

VSR continued to play the role of this week’s most interesting pick on Thursday. The action in this play has been significant, and it has led to several potentially profitable swings since we first picked it up on Tuesday at a low of 3.70.

Yesterday we re-iterated our interest, stating that the kind of volatility we had seen in VSR to that point could certainly lead to further bounce opportunities, and we were correct in that assumption. In early trading, we witnessed a swing from 6.56 to the daily high of 7.817, a 19% move. We then watched as VSR spent a good portion of the afternoon in pullback mode before bouncing off of support at in the 5.20’s.

The stock is up in premarket trading again today with highs of over $6 so far, so for the fourth straight day we’ll have our eye on possible bounce action from VSR

Eagle Bulk Shipping EGLE

We tagged EGLE yesterday morning on the heels of a financial restructuring that led to a serious boost in PPS. The stock was up so much in fact, it was briefly halted early in the session. When trading resumed at 11AM, the stock still went on to make one heck of a move.

From an initial low of 12.02, the EGLE barreled its way up to a high of 17.00, a solid 41% increase on the day on significantly high volume.

iBio, Inc. IBIO

IBIO is a play that we’ve been tracking for some time, and it too posted a notable swing yesterday afternoon, as it rose up from 1.63 to touch 1.93, an 18% increase. The stock is also gapping up in the premarket this morning, having re-breached the $2-mark.

Repros Therapeutics, Inc. RPRX

This is a stock we caught this morning, noticing that it is gapping down 52-week lows in the pre-market. The company had some negatively received FDA news this morning. This kicks in our ‘vulture’ mindset, where we monitor a struggling play for signs of a turnaround and subsequent bounce. We can’t even begin to recall how many times we’ve turned a beaten-down stock into a winning trade on the rebound but rest assured, its enough for us to keep a close watch over RPRX moving forward.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: VIDG, PBR Calls & More

Vid3G, Inc. VIDG

We’re bringing VIDG up as an item of interest this morning as a stock that is coming off of its 52-week lows, and our subscribers are well aware, we’ve seen plays like these produce exponential gains on the rebound many times in the past.

Yesterday’s session saw a rapid swing up from that annual low (.01), and VIDG managed to break through its 50DMA at .015, as well as maintain that level into the close. Another session of higher highs and higher lows would go a long way toward confirming this uptrend. We’d like to see that previous area of resistance hold as support moving ahead, and based on a number of indicators on the chart, the chance for a bounce to .02 or better is certainly present; VIDG has produced spikes of that magnitude several times this year.

We illustrate this and other points on the chart in the following video, so take a look:

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

On Friday, we mentioned our interest in the PBR $16 Calls for this week, and included a reminder in yesterday morning’s report as well. We’ve become quite adept at playing the PBR options chain over the last several months, and these alerts simply confirm that.

The action on the $16 Weekly Calls indeed proved to be significant as the trading week commenced, with yesterday’s session seeing an intraday move from .20-.38, good for gains of up to 90% A great way to kick things off for these contracts which are now in the money, and we’ll be sticking with the $16’s as the week presses on.

Should PBR approach the 16.35-level, we would then have to consider moving up our strike price.

IsoRay, Inc. ISR

We also want to throw ISR into the mix this morning, as the stock is gapping up off of a relative bottom on some exciting news this morning, so we wanted to enter this into the log as an interesting play that we’re going to want to keep an eye on.

RICHLAND, WA, Aug 05, 2014 (Marketwired via COMTEX) — IsoRay Inc. (NYSE MKT: ISR), a medical technology company and innovator in seed brachytherapy and medical radioisotope applications, today announced the publication of the first major peer reviewed study showing superior results using IsoRay’s Cesium-131 seeds in the treatment of metastatic brain cancer. >>>FULL PR
