Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Explosion

Adobe, Inc. ADBE – Update

ADBE continued its incredible performance just as we said it would in yesterday morning’s premarket report.  We had already tracked our idea, the ADBE Weekly $285-290 Calls to gains roughly in the area of 150-230% on Wednesday.

The updated figures after yesterday’s huge session are very impressive indeed. Here are the total possible gains that options daytraders could have netted off of our alert. 

$289 Calls – Range: 2.94-17.49 – Max Gain: 495%
$289.50 Calls – Range: 1.83-14.68 – Max Gain: 702%
$290 Calls – Range: 1.07-12.52 – Max Gain: 1070%

This is the reason that we spend most of our time these days focusing on quick-strike options ideas. The short-term gain potential exceeds even that of the OTC Markets, which used to be our primary area of focus, many years ago.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CANV, ACHN, FREE & More

CannaVest Corp. CANV 

CANV is a stock that recently fell off of a cliff, and found itself trading at 52-week lows.  We like to monitor such plays during their recovery, which has already begun in this case. Trading near its annual lows, CANV appears undervalued, especially in light of the figures contained in the earnings report put out by the company yesterday.

Highlights included a Q2 net income of slightly over $8M, as compared to a net loss of $348K for the same quarter in 2013, and over $9M in cash on-hand. We suggest you read the release in its entirety >>> FULL PR

Check out these websites for some background on Cannavest (http://www.CannaVest.com) and its subsidiaries, which include US Hemp Oil, LLC (http://www.USHempOil.com), and CannaVest Laboratories, LLC (http://www.CannaVestLabs.com).. We’re always interested tracking a revenue-generating company in the cannabis sector, and CANV fits the bill.

The stock was trading as high as $20.00 just a few months ago; regaining even a portion of the ground it has lost from current prices in the mid-$3 range would mean the chance at a significant profit for nimble traders.


Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ACHN

ACHN is a stock we began to track earlier this summer (June 9th) as it was in the midst of a massive surge. At the time we caught it at a low of 3.72, and it ran to nearly $8 over just a two-session span. In the following months, it had been trading in a rough channel between the mid-$6’s and mid-$7’s, and just cracked over $8 yesterday for the first time in more than a year.

This morning’s PR regarding the company’s hepatitis C drug, which was been found to cure all patients in mid-stage trials is also contributing to a huge gap-up that has the stock pushing the $10 mark in the premarket. At that level, we’re already looking at a 168% move up from the the lows we observed in June, and we’re certainly going to have the stock on more intensive watch moving forward.



FreeSeas, Inc. FREE

After appearing in yesterday morning’s extended watchlist, FREE went on to break above the 50DMA at .66, and run 28% intraday from .631-.809.  We want to see higher highs and higher lows acheived as this is another play coming off of its 52-week lows. We’ll need to see it maintain support above the previous 50DMA of .66 in order to keep our attention.

The spike we’re seeing here comes in conjunction with yesterday’s announcement that FREE had regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders equity rule. >>> FULL PR

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Momentum Play & More

Vision Plasma Systems, Inc. VLNX

We’ve got a sub-penny momentum play on our hands this morning in the form of VLNX. This volatile trader has been swinging violently over the past few months, sometimes more than a hundred percent at a time.

We’re going to have our eyes on VLNX as we close the book on another trading week; the stock came from beneath .001 yesterday and began to run, hitting a daily high of .0017. As you can see on the included chart below, a move past that point would open the door on much larger gains.

When VLNX has surged in recent months, it has routinely peaked in the .002-.004 range. A run back to those levels from here would provide a good chance for quick profits, and chart indicators are showing a forthcoming spike to be a distinct possibility.


FTE Networks, Inc. FTNW

We saw some action from FTNW after including it in yesterday’s report, as the stock offered up the opportunity for modest gains on the order of 23% intraday from .0303 to .04.

While the chart data shows that the stock hit highs in the .055-.065 range, those were what we refer to as “fat-finger prints”; blocks of such small volume so as to make them insignificant, since it would have been impossible to exit any sizable position at those prices.

Still, gains of up to 23%, which were possible, are nothing to thumb your nose at.
