Blue Horseshoe Stocks: UGAZ, FXCM Update & More

VelocityShares 3X Long Natural Gas ETNĀ  (UGAZ)

In what is shaking out to be a characteristically slow short week for stocks in general, we’re going to adjust our focus a bit and turn to UGAZ. This triple-leveraged natural gas bull ETN has been gaining momentum and rebounding nicely off of its recently-established 52-week lows.

We’ll look for UGAZ to continue registering higher lows and higher highs, and make its way toward the 50DMA of 3.06. As we’ve pointed out on the chart below, there are a number of bullish indicators drawing our attention.

We’d also consider this idea to have a seasonal advantage as we are heading into the two coldest months of the year; the time when natural gas consumption rate is at its annual peak. We’ll eagerly place this note on watch in coming weeks to see how it responds to rising natural gas demand.


FXCM, Inc. FXCM

We placed FXCM on watch exactly two weeks ago and at the time, we observed a low of 6.68 in the stock and it never looked back. In the ten sessions since that alert, it has made some very impressive leaps and bounds.

The activity culminated in a new milestone for FXCM during yesterday’s session as it reached as high as 19.74, which represented a remarkable swing of 196%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: New Options Ideas, Bottom-Watchers & More

EffTec International, Inc. EFFI

EFFI was the standout play from yesterday’s daily report; we gained interest in this familiar play after noticing some abnormal volume and a PPS spike during Friday’s session.

The momentum it had built up was able to carry over into this new trading week, as the stock made its way from a low of .004 to .0056. It marked an intraday swing of 40% and puts us on alert for the possibility of further advances.

In terms of the technicals, the RSI just cracked into the power zone and the MACD is still bullish in appearance, with some serious upward divergence currently in effect. Provided the stock can continue to register higher lows on its way up, we’ll reserve space for it on our working watchlist.


RAIT Financial TrustĀ  RAS

RAS has come to our attention as a stock that has been plummeting of late, and we’re beginning to speculate as to how long the decline can continue. Though it may still have a ways to fall before ultimately reversing, we want to place it on a close bottom-watch as we feel the eventual rebound could produce palpable upward swings, especially with such a large gap to fill on the chart (pointed out below).

Hypothetically speaking, a return to its pre-gap levels would mean gains in excess of 75% over the current share price.


Fresh Options Idea – FedEx

FDX is presently trading near a prior support level, and with earnings scheduled for the post-market tomorrow, we want to signal a possible options trading idea.

We’re going to want to radar contracts in the range of Weekly FDX $140-145 Calls today and tomorrow for activity running up to the earnings call, incidentally, in the midst of the busiest time of year for parcel deliveries. Things could get quite interesting for this play inside of the next 36 hours, so we’ll be sure to keep our eyes peeled.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Wrapping Up the Short Week

This holiday-shortened week has brought another string of stellar opportunities for us with both stocks and options, and was an excellent way to close out the first quarter of 2015!



Pazoo, Inc. PZOO

Firstly, our re-alert of PZOO yesterday came just in the nick of time for us to observe a nice upswing. The stock traded up from a low of .0052 to reach .0071, an intraday move of 37% and it did so on more than twice its 30-day average volume.

With the deliberate steps Pazoo has been taking to become actively involved in the cannabis sector, it’s certain to hold our interest for quite awhile. There was a new PR to that effect released after market open yesterday; PZOO’s wholly-owned sub, marijuana testing agency Harris Lee, will be taking full ownership of a “fully functional, revenue generating facility no later than April 30, 2015”.

Totally Hemp Crazy, Inc. THCZ

Speaking of pot-related plays- Last Friday, we suggested our readers put THCZ on their radars as we were watching the stock search for support. It found it that day at .128, and managed to set higher highs every day since.

Yesterday came an enormous push to an astonishing high of .32; that registered as an overall increase of 150% from THCZ in just five sessions! Even more amazing, is the fact that we observed THCZ trading subpenny as recently as the end of January.


Northstar Global Business Services, Inc. MDIN

MDIN appeared on yesterday’s extended watchlist, and it too enjoyed a nice intraday move of 66%. The stock held the majority of those gains into the close, so we’ll be interested to see how it closes out this short week today.


Pervasip Corp. PVSP

On Monday, we called out PVSP in a well-timed alert that yielded the chance at intraday gains of up to 55% It took until yesterday afternoon for the stock to consolidate and make its way down to find a support level from which to bounce.

That came at .0013, and PVSP did make a nice rebound to the tune of 38% (.0018) This is yet another one which is tied to the cannabis space, so we can definitely see a theme being established here as springtime comes into full-swing.


Petroleo Brasiliero, S.A. (Petrobras) PBR – Options

We signaled May PBR $6 and $6.50 calls last Thursday as we noticed it rebounding off of its newly-established all-time lows. Although there wasn’t much open interest in the May $6 Calls that we highlighted, they were pushed into the money and there was an opportunity to profit for those that decided to take the trade. The low on those contracts was .32 following our alert, and they closed yesterday at .55x.79. With plenty of time left until expiration, we may not yet be finished with them.

There was volume in the May $6.50’s, which traded as low as .22 following our initial mention and yesterday closed at .47; a gain of 114%.


Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. ESPR – Options

It was on Tuesday March 17th that we called ESPR options and came away with percentage gains that ran into the thousands over the course of that week. The idea that we ventured was the 04/17 $90 Calls, and we saw a subsequent run from 3.50 to 28.50.

Following that huge run, we saw those contracts dip back to find support at 4.50 toward the end of last week. Yesterday, a news release helped push ESPR stock to new highs, and as a result the April $90’s went on another big run, up to their closing price of 16.35. That’s a 263% swing in less than a week!

ESPR traded up just shy of $110 in the premarket this morning. We will also want to keep a close eye on the 04/17 $100-110 Calls should the stock continue its upward trend through to next week.
