Blue Horseshoe Stocks: OCRX Recap, Options & More

Ocera Therapeutics, Inc. OCRX

We noticed OCRX gapping up off of its bottom yesterday in the premarket, relaying that fact along to our readers in our morning report. The stock had a major gap to fill to the upside leading into yesterday’s session which we pointed out with a chart snapshot, and the excellent intraday run that ensued made some good headway in terms of filling a portion of that gap.

The stock traded in a range from .77 to 1.15 yesterday, for an intraday rise amounting to 49% and did so on immense volume to the tune of roughly 15X the 30-day average.

This morning in premarket trading we’re seeing another gap-up, trading as high as 1.37 so far. We’ll need to keep our eyes peeled right from the starting gun this morning as another bullish session could be forthcoming. We’re going to want to see yesterday’s closing value of 1.10 hold as support on any pullbacks in order to sustain our immediate interest.

e.l.f Beauty, Inc. ELF – Options Idea

We caught ELF on the heels of a strong earnings report wherein healthy beats on both earnings and revenues were announced. The stock is gapping up in premarket trading today, having breached the $30-mark with an early high of 30.99.

We always like a good post-earnings options idea so we’re going to formulate one that we can follow for the remainder of this week and into the next. We will be tracking the three sets of contracts in the range of ELF 03/17 $25-35 Calls over the next few sessions for potential quick strike trades.


Northern Dynasty Minerals. Ltd. NAK

We highlighted NAK in yesterday’s watchlist after noticing the stock had been trending steadily downward toward its 200DMA. We banked on the hunch that it would find support around that area, and were essentially spot-on in assuming a reversal was in the cards.

The stock underwent a classic dip-and-rip pattern, trading in a range from 1.08-1.34 for a modest intraday upswing of 24% While it didn’t blow our socks off on the first day, we still believe that serious upside potential exists for NAK from its current standing. All indicators are pointing to the strong possibility of this stock returning to the 2.00-level or better in the near future.

Additionally, a hike in the federal interest rates, which many expect as soon as this month, could have a positive impact on precious metal plays like this one, so it will be interesting to see what lays in store for NAK.

Yesterday’s Options Ideas

The options ideas contained in yesterday’s premarket report ended up performing extremely well for us, further outlining why we focus so often on options trading.  

For American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. AEO, we were interested in $15-16 Weekly Calls after noticing its earnings beat, and we met with possible gains in all cases:

-The $15 Calls traded as low as .80 before hitting a high of 1.25, a gain of 56%

-The 15.50 Calls traded as low as .30, and hit a subsequent high of .75; an intraday increase of 150%

-The 16$ calls traded as low as .16 and hit a high of .35, which is equal to a 118% move.

Abercrombie & Fitch ANF was trending in the opposite direction, so we ventured a few conservative ideas* for Weekly $23-24 Puts and the stock continued its decline throughout the session, enabling considerable profits:

-The $23 Puts saw a low of .87 low and closed at 2.74 for an impressive 215% run.

-The $23.50’s rose from a 1.20 low and ended up closing at 3.00, marking a 150% jump.

– The $24 Puts went from a 1.53 up as high as 3.84, an intraday gain of 151%

This morning, ANF is continuing its decline in premarket trading, so traders who chose to hold any of these contracts would be up even more than the figures listed here.

*Please note that the contracts we selected, while they obviously did extremely well, were fairly deep into the money so as to play it relatively safe. Traders looking to assume a bit more risk could have chosen to strike outside of the money, and it would have paid off in a big way. For an example, we can refer to the ANF $21 Puts which traded in a range from .10-.90. (+800%).

Infosonics Corp. IFON

After appearing in yesterday’s extended watchlist, IFON rapidly produced a hearty early-morning rip. The stock opened up at 2.34 and ran as high as 3.18 in the first ten minutes of trading! Quick-witted traders could have come away with rapid gains of up to 36%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Reviewing EYES, MNST & More

Second Sight Medical Products, Inc. EYES 

When we first began tracking EYES in last Tuesday’s morning report, the stock was trading at a low of 9.55, and it would spend the next two sessions bulling its way up as high as the 14.40’s. On Thursday, the stock underwent a slight consolidation, coming back to ultimately find support in the 11.80-range.

Then on Friday, EYES made another significant run as it exploded out of the gate at a low of 12.17 and soared to an afternoon high of 17.39. It marked an strong intraday gain of 47% on more than 16x the 3-month average volume.

That high also resulted in an overall increase of 82% above the low we observed on Tuesday morning, an incredible 4-day swing for a stock trading in this price range.

Friday’s Options Idea

We also want to take a minute to congratulate any of our readers who connected on our options daytrading idea for Monster Beverage Corp. MNST from Friday’s report. Just to refresh your memories, we speculated that $135-137 Weekly Calls might have been in line to see some rapid upward moves, and that’s precisely what occurred as the stock made its own solid run.

The first hour saw MNST trading the entire breadth of its daily range from a low of 137.72 to a high of 143.89, and as a result, our targeted contracts saw sharp rises in excess of roughly 200%

Added Reminder:

For some of our newer readers who may not be familiar with our operating procedures, EnXnet, Inc. EXNT is going to serve as an excellent reminder of why we encourage our subscribers to check our blog at BlueHorseshoeStocks.com each morning, even if you’ve already read our report via email or a republish on a Third-Party website.

Very often, we catch runners early in the session that were not included in our daily premarket report, and when this occurs, we place these symbols on our sidebar tracker.

Just such a occurrence came in the form of EXNT on Friday at approximately 9:50AM when we spotted it and placed it on the tracker. From that time on, the stock traded up 137% from a low of .04 to subsequent high of .095, so again, we encourage everyone to visit Blue Horseshoe Stocks after trading commences each morning to catch potential late-adds just like EXNT.
