Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FB & AAPL Options, INO, NOK, ZQK

Facebook FB OptionsThe FB 09/13 $41 Calls first appeared in our reports on September 4th, as we stated: “…if FB can breakout to $45 by next Friday, we could be looking at multi-bag gains from these contracts.” While we fell just shy of our target by .39 at Friday’s high of 44.61, the price action on those calls was still enough to provide us with those multi-bag gains with a whole trading week still remaining until expiration! So far, from their low following our 09/04 alert at 1.29, we saw a subsequent push to 3.80, good for a gain of 251% over a period of just a couple of days.

We’re going to remain bullish on these $41 Calls as we head into Friday’s expiration, as we think the chances are fair that FB as a whole remains on a general uptrend. It could lead us to move up on our strike price and contract duration as well. The 09/21 $45 Calls closed at .82 on Friday, and if Facebook does continue its upward momentum, those are likely to be the next contracts that will catch our interest.

Apple (AAPL) Options

There has been much speculation surrounding the possible focus of Apple’s big event tomorrow, which is widely believed to be an unveiling of the new iPhone 5S, although there have been no confirmations. Whenever a situation like this comes along, we always try to stay ready to advantage wherever possible. The public’s reaction to tomorrow’s event will determine our reaction in playing the Apple options chain. A successful reception and subsequent rise in PPS would obviously draw our attention to the Calls, while a disappointing result would force us to look at the Puts.

Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. INO

We’ve been hot on the trail of INO since the beginning of July, when the stock was trading below a dollar (.7953 at its low). Within a month of that, by early August the stock had hit 3.03, which represented a move of 281%

We reminded everyone on August 23rd that we were observing higher highs and higher lows after the subsequent consolidation ( to a low of 1.60). Then on Friday, sent another reminder that INO was beginning to bounce back. We then saw a run back to 2.45, which marked a gain of 53%

This morning, the stock hit a high of 2.85 in pre-market trading, and trades are currently going off in the low 2.70’s.

Nokia Corp. NOK

Another stock that has done extremely well for us over an extended period is Nokia (NOK), especially recently, as its shares price ballooned on news that Microsoft had acquired its devices division as well as licensing rights to several of its patents. We’ve been following this stock for over a year now, and in that time we’ve seen a low of 1.91 run all the way up to recent highs in the high 5.50’s, a move of over 190%

Quiksilver, Inc. ZQKZQK appeared in Friday’s extended watchlist following release of an earnings report. After establishing a low at 5.99, the stock ran as high as  7.09, granting us the chance at an 18% intraday gain.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: HUGE News in the Marijuana Industry

Medical/Legal Marijuana Sector Set to Explode

If that headline seems a little sensationalistic, that’s because something sensational has happened! Many of you will recall our continuous coverage of marijuana-related stocks beginning last year, as Washington and Colorado were getting ready to vote on becoming the first states to end more than seven decades of marijuana prohibition. The prospect of companies legally being able to cash in on what is most assuredly a multi-billion dollar industry just waiting to be unlocked, was and still is, quite exciting.

We rode several hemp stocks (which we’ll mention below) to astonishing gains, and have been continuously tracking the landscape of this burgeoning market sector ever since. Even with such progress being made in legislation, as well as a positive general shift in public opinion on the subject, we still had to temper our enthusiasm. The federal government had not yet taken an official position on the issue of whether or not it would intervene in the rights of individual states to grant their citizens access to legal marijuana. And so the nation, including several other states with legalization ambitions of their own, waited for news of their ultimate fate.

Then yesterday came… In the future, Thursday, August 29th, 2013, could very well be viewed as a turning point in the fight against marijuana prohibition. The US Department of Justice finally announced their official position: The federal government WILL NOT interfere with individual states who wish to legalize, regulate, and tax marijuana for both medical and personal recreational use. The door to a pot industry boom has just been unlocked, and left wide open.

In the wake of this historic event, we thought there would be no better time to remind our readers that this was one of the main reasons we’ve been so “high” on marijuana stocks for over a year now. It is rare to witness the birth of an entire industry, and yet it seems this baby has finally arrived! Check out the enormous list of related stocks below that have appeared in previous reports (I, II, III, IV) and be sure to keep them on your radars moving forward, as a world of possibilities (without fear of federal reprisal) has just opened up for the entire sector.

HEMP, PHOT, MJNA, CBIS, RFMK, ERBB, GRNH, MDBX, MWIP, TRTC, RIGH, EXMT, EDXC, SKTO, FSPM, NRBT, GTLA, GWPRF, HESG, PARS, SRER, SFIO, XCHC & NVLX.

We’ll also be on the lookout for new marijuana related stocks, which are likely to start sprouting up like weeds now that the federal green light has been given. More on the subject is sure to come, so stay tuned to our daily reports, and good luck out there!

FCGD, MDBX, SCON & Extended Watchlist

First Colombia Gold Corp. FCGD

Despite the fact that it closed down on the day, our momentum alert from yesterday morning still provided us with plenty of opportunity to get in and out with a profit in the early part of the day.

After gapping up very slightly to .0044, the stock managed to ride the momentum as high as .007, allowing for gains of up to 59% in the first half-hour. Apart from possible gains right out of the gate, we can also extract a good lesson from what happened next. We saw what is called a “double-top”, which is when a stock bumps into resistance, pulls back, and makes another run at its high before losing momentum, which leads to a pullback like we saw as the day progressed.

We lost interest when the stock failed to hold support at our called level of .006. It is always a good idea to have a mental stop, falling below which point is an indicator that its time to exit. All things considered, FCGD turned out to be a good call, even if the window of opportunity wasn’t open for as long as we would’ve liked.

Medbox, Inc. MDBX

We’d like to give ourselves a quick pat on the back for this play. We last mentioned MDBX on March 12th, along with some of the other medical marijuana related stocks we’ve been actively tracking this year. After that time, the stock was trading as low as 14.02. It is not often we see a Pinksheet stock trading in such a high PPS range, but MDBX managed to touch 38.40 on Tuesday on record volume, marking a move of 174% in roughly six weeks.

MDBX sent out a PR yesterday, pertaining to Tuesday being a record trading day:
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., April 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Medbox, Inc. (OTC Markets: MDBX) (www.medboxinc.com), a leader in providing industry specific consulting services and patented systems to the medical and retail industries, announced that yesterday (April 23, 2013), was the single largest trading day for their stock in the company’s history with over 66,000 shares traded.

Superconductor Technologies, Inc. SCONSCON appeared on Tuesdays extended watchlist, and followed with a great performance, opening at 3.50, and seeing a low of 3.41, before running as high as 5.45. That marks a possible gain of up to 60%
