Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Ideas & More


Fresh Options Ideas

The GEO Group, Inc. – We’ve run across an interesting situation with GEO, in the wake of the Federal government’s announcement of a private correctional facility phase-out. The stock took an absolute pounding as a result yesterday, but is showing some signs of rebounding with the help of a contrary PR this morning.

Despite the impending federal cutbacks, (nearly half of GEO’s business comes from federal government contracts) we’ve now received word that the Bureau of Prisons has extended the company’s contract on the D. Ray James Correctional Facility in Folkston, GA through September of 2018. (>> View PR)

On the chance of seeing a continued rebound in the days or weeks ahead, we’re going to radar the GEO 09/16 $20 and 22.50 Calls for possible swing trades.

Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. FOXA – A couple of things are drawing us toward entering an options idea into the log for FOXA today. In addition to the stock currently approaching oversold territory while trading at its 6-month lows, we’ve also noticed a series of Form-4 buys that have come in on Tuesday, Wednesday, and yesterday amounting to roughly $78M.

It’s leading us to place a range of extended-term contracts on watch, namely the FOXA 09/30 $25-27 Calls.


Force Protection Video Equipment Corp. FPVD

We wanted to provide a final update on FPVD this morning, which has appeared in every one of our reports since Tuesday. At the time, the stock saw a low of .0168, and it spent the next three sessions making monstrous moves to the upside.

Despite peeling back significantly into the close, FPVD gave one heck of a last hurrah early in yesterday’s session, running 122% intraday from the open at .045 to a high of .0999. At its peak, FPVD had shown us a three-day overall increase amounting to 495%

Unless we begin to see some major rebound activity, we’ll be moving on from FPVD for the time being, but congrats are due to anyone who was following this mega-runner along with us this week!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FPVD Breaks Out & More

Force Protection Video Equipment Corp. FPVD

We were just mentioning how we wanted to stay on FPVD’s trail yesterday morning, after the stock had shown us a nice 64% move on Tuesday.

We identified .036 as a key point of resistance that we wanted to see broken, and not only did that happen, but the stock smashed through and kept on running to an impressive new high.

It traded in a range from .022 on up to a nickel, for an intraday gain of 127% which occurred on roughly 7 times the three-month average volume. From our observed low on Tuesday, it represented a session-over-session swing of 198%

The previous resistance we mentioned at .036 will now be the level FPVD will need to hold support at or above in order to maintain our attention going forward.


Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. WMT – Options Idea

We’ve had some excellent fortune recently with earnings-related options plays in the retail sector, and the opportunity to take advantage of yet another one may be ready to present itself today in the form of WMT.

Increased revenue for the quarter has led the retail giant to increase guidance for the remainder of the year, and the news is causing a notable gap-up here in the premarket. As the activity unfolds, we’ll be looking to possibly take advantage of WMT Weekly $73.50-76 Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FPVD Recap & More

Force Protection Video Equipment Corp. FPVD

FPVD found its way back to our reports yesterday morning, and followed up by producing a notable intraday move on the day.

We were afforded the opportunity to realize single-session gains of up to 64% as the stock traded from an early low of .0168, and ran toward the end of the day, achieving a high of .0275 on more than four times the one-month average volume.

We’ll keep a watch over this play as we head through midweek, looking for it to make a run at its next key resistance point at .036, however it will need to maintain support at or above .015 in order to hold our interest.


MarilynJean Interactive, Inc. MJMI

MJMI continues to earn itself mentions in our reports since tagging it for the first time just under two weeks ago. It’s been on a fairly steady climb for the entire time since.

Yesterday the stock traded in a range from .27 on up to another new high at .40. That works out to an intraday gain of 48% which occurred on volume exceeding the monthly average by three times.

From our observed low of .091 which was recorded on the 5th, MJMI has now made an overall increase of 340% and earned itself a continued slot on our working watchlist.


Aurinia Pharmaceuticals, Inc. AUPH

We also want to make mention of AUPH, which is a stock we’ve noticed starting to make a move off of a recent bottom. We like the chart’s look of rebound potential with a massive gap to fill, so we’ll put this one on the radar as well.

The stock briefly toyed with the 200DMA yesterday, and we’ll be looking for it to make a move back through the channel between there and the 50DMA of 3.03 en route to filling that gap.
