Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Form-4 Watchlist, Options Ideas & More

Insider Buying Watchlist

Both of the following are plays that we’ve tracked in some capacity in the past, and each of them grabbed our attention with recent insider transactions of a sizable magnitude which were executed at higher levels than the current PPS. We like to monitor stocks whose directors have confidence in future price performance, and that’s the impression we get when they soak up large blocks of shares in this manner. Each of these stocks is also currently trading at a relative bottom, so we’ll be watching in the days and weeks to come for signs of bounceplay opportunities. 

The ExOne Co.  XONE

In the case of XONE, CEO Kent Rockwell last weekend filed a Form-4 indicating the purchase of a $13M block of XONE at 9.13, more than a dollar per share higher than the current PPS. This is a significant development that warrants heavy monitoring for XONE.

Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. ESPR

The traunch of shares purchased by ESPR director Tim Mayleben wasn’t nearly as large as the previously mentioned block, but still, a $100K investment is nothing at which to sneeze. The trade was executed at 14.08 (Current PPS:13.77). ESPR has just come up off of its newly established 52-week lows, and has been going through a bout of serious under-performance, so we’ll want to keep our heads on a swivel for any developments that might kick this thing into gear.


Fresh Options Ideas

To kick things off this week on the options front, we’ve formulated a couple of ideas based on announced and expected earnings, and the resultant activity we’re observing here in the premarket.

Tiffany & Co. TIF

We’re looking at going bearish on TIF, which, on the heels of a lackluster holiday season in terms of jewelry sales, failed to meet or beat earnings expectations and is currently gapping down in early trading. We’re going to track a range of contracts here, namely the TIF Weekly $66.50-64 Puts, for potential daytrades.

Netflix, Inc. NFLX

NFLX has its earnings call slated for the post-market today, and we’re going to want to track a range of calls in anticipation of that event. We’ve witnessed runs into earnings so many times before, it’d almost be foolish to ignore NFLX under the present circumstances. We’re going to keep an eye on NFLX Weekly $105-107 Calls to take advantage of a possible continued run-up for the stock.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Potential Bottom-Plays & More

Solaris Power Cells, Inc. SPCL

We’ve got a news play hitting our scanner this morning in SPCL, and as it turns out, the chart is looking ripe for a nice move. As we’ve pointed out on the following snapshot, the stock is trading near a relative bottom, having just registered a new 52-week low just two weeks ago.

Our regular readers are well acquainted with our history of banking excellent gains off a good rebound play. SPCL could be next in line on that front, so we’ll keep a sharp eye on it to start the week.

In addition to trading near a bottom, we’re seeing signs of a very oversold stock with a lot of room to the upside:

PALM SPRINGS, Calif., July 13, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Solaris Power Cells, Inc. the creators of the Solaris PESATM “Passive Electron Storage Array”™, (the “Company”) (OTCQB:SPCL)  the Board of Directors of Solaris Power Cells today announced the appointment of long-time energy policy leader Robert Foster to lead Solaris Energy Storage Advisory Board, effective July 10th 2015. >> FULL PR


OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc OGXI

OGXI announced this morning that one of its cancer treatments, currently in Phase III trials has passed rigorous criteria and
that trials for patients with non-small cell lung cancer will proceed as planned. The stock is gapping up in premarket trading, and we’re going to monitor its activity as the session commences.

BOTHELL, Wash. and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: OGXI) announced today that its Phase 3 ENSPIRIT trial evaluating custirsen in the treatment of advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is continuing as planned per the recommendation of an Independent Data Monitoring Committee>> FULL PR



Frontline, Ltd. FRO

We’ve got a long history with FRO that stretches all the way back to 2012. We tagged FRO in Thursday’s premarket report, after it hit a relative bottom of 2.21 on Wednesday. Our observed low following Thursday’s alert was 2.32, and on Friday we saw as the stock inched up to a high of 2.43. We’re going to be on the lookout for further gains; the stock is gapping up slightly in early trading this morning.

An added element to the story is an opinion article that came across the wires last week pertaining to the perceived undervaluation of FRO. It points to a potential longer-term uptrend in the cards, stating that while this year’s earnings growth is expected to top last year’s by more than 200%, that hasn’t really been reflected in the share price.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh News Plays & More

FreeSeas, Inc. FREE

We mentioned FREE in yesterday’s morning report as a bottom-play that was gaining momentum. The stock had begun to show signs of life after recently establishing a new 52-week low, and our focus paid off almost instantly.

We witnessed a slight dip to a low of .1113 shortly before 10AM, after which time FREE proceeded to surge its way to a daily high of .179. It registered as a 61% intraday swing before the stock tapered back to close at .091.

We’ll continue to observe the activity on the FREE chart as the week progresses, as there is a fair chance that we will continue to see sizable swings in PPS.


Axion Power International, Inc. AXPW

Speaking of major runners, the call we made on AXPW on Monday continued to extend its gains early in yesterday’s session. We caught this gem at a low of .0421, and watched as it went on to touch .36 before it began its pullback.

The move extended the total range we witnessed over just a two-session span to a whopping 755%

For us to remain interested in AXPW for further opportunities, we’ll need to see it maintain support at or above yesterday’s swing low of .14. Key resistance is sitting between .18-19.


Fresh News Plays

Synergy Pharmaceutical, Inc. SGYP
came with some positive news this morning, and is gapping up heavily in the premarket. We’ll look for a potential dip-and-rip scenario to occur following the opening bell.

_______

Blue Shere Corp. BLSP announced a tentative share buyback program this morning that would allow for the company to acquire up to $500K-worth of its common stock from the open market and/or via privately arranged transactions. Couple that with a chart that has the look of a classic bottom-play, and we’re very interested to include BLSP on our watchlist this midweek.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Reviewing Yesterday’s Winners & More

Axion Power International, Inc. AXPW

AXPW ensured that we started off the week with a bang yesterday with a monumental single-session performance. We placed it in our morning report after a routine scan showed some abnormally high premarket volume, and it essentially spent the entire day bulling its way to new highs.

From an early low of .0421 the stock would ultimately reach a share price of .159 just prior to the close. That worked out to an intraday rip totaling 277% on record volume.

AXPW closed just two ticks below its high-of-day at .157, and with this kind of frenzied momentum, we’ll be certain to follow the activity as things kick off today.

The stock has traded as high as .2601 in this morning’s premarket, extending the total move we’ve seen in a 24-hour period to 518% There’s a very good chance that the run-up will catalyze significant profit-taking, which will ultimately lead to an opportunity for us to time the bottom, and play the rebound.

Huge congratulations go out to any of our readers who were able profit from AXPW as a result of our premarket alert!


Indo Global Exchanges Pte Ltd. IGEX

IGEX was another stock from yesterday’s new watchlist that also did extremely well, becoming the second multi-bag gainer before the day was through . We referred to it as a “super-sub-penny momentum play”, and the momentum certainly was sustained throughout the day.

From its daily low of .0006, the stock barreled its way up to close at its high-of-day at .0013; an intraday run of 116% which occurred on volume that approached 10X the monthly average.

Like the aforementioned play, we’ll remain vigilant for the possibility of continued momentum and/or a subsequent dip-and-rip scenario of which we can take advantage.


Amedica Corp. AMDA was the other notable intraday gainer from yesterday’s newsletter. AMDA made a strong move from .40 to .497, which represents an increase of 24%


FreeSeas, Inc. FREE

This stock is an old favorite that we’ve tracked to some very nice gains in the past. We want to draw attention back to it this morning as it is beginning to show signs of life after a months-long consolidation beat the stock back to new 52-week lows. We always like to monitor stocks coming off of annual low-points; very often they lead to excellent chances on the rebound.

The stock ran hard into the close yesterday on extremely heavy volume, so we’re going to we’re going to tag FREE as a momentum/recovery play, and watch it intently as we head into mid-week. .

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AVNR, SINO, FREE & More

Avanir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. AVNR

We included AVNR in our extended watchlist yesterday and we were glad that we did. The company released an announcement concerning the positive clinical trials of its drug “AVP-923” which is used to treat Alzheimer’s >>Read The Release and what followed was one heck of a bullish session.

The stock saw an early low of 9.32, and steadily pushed its way up all session long, with the high of 13.09 coming just prior to the close. That mark represented a solid 40% intraday gain, as well as a new 52-week high! The amount of volume traded was also impressive, on the order of more than 89M shares, an annual record and more than 25X the three-month average, so we really like the timing of our alert on AVNR.

AVNR provides another good example of why we always remind our subscribers to check through our daily extended watchlist selections thoroughly, as hidden gems like this one tend to pop up with surprising regularity.


Sino-Global Shipping America Ltd. SINO

SINO began to run when the company released financials that included some significant highlights just prior to the close yesterday, and the stock is gapping up heavily this morning for what should be an interesting session.

Generally in these instances we’ll be on the lookout for the phenomenon we refer to as the dip-and-rip. Stockholders see the huge run, and the resultant profit-taking usually leads to a subsequent pullback. That’s where we’re waiting to catch the bounce and snipe some rapid profits.


FreeSeas Inc. FREE

FREE made its way down to a new 52-week low of .29 yesterday and could be in prime position for a possible bounceplay. This morning, the company has revealed that it has concluded the sale of one of its vessels for $12.25M and entered into a long-term charter with the new owners >> View PR

FREE is gapping up as a result and provided that the stock can break through resistance at roughly .45 which we’ve pointed out on the following chart, things could get very interesting.


Options Trading Ideas

We’ve got a couple of possibilities we’re looking at in the options arena today as well:

– RWLK $38-$40 Calls

– PBR $16.50 & $17 Calls
