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: Earnings-Related Options Ideas & More

Earnings-Related Options Ideas

We’ve entered into another round of high-profile earnings releases, and as our routine readers are well aware, this has become a key device in our seeking of quick-strike profits with options trading.

Ebay, Inc. EBAY
On EBAY, we’re going to size up contracts in the $58.50-60 Call range, looking for a classic dip-and-rip scenario. Usually on a gap-up after an earnings beat we see profit-taking which leads to a pullback followed by a resulting bounce. We look to get positioned in some in-the-money calls on the pullback that we can unload when the rebound occurs.

Caterpillar, Inc. CAT
CAT beat on earnings as well, and the range of contracts that we’re most likely going to find the biggest chances for gains here, should fall between $86-89.  We want to stay in the money with our strike price and roll it up in the event the stock breaks out more sharply.

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR

For PBR, which is sliding back following yesterday’s post-market earnings release, we’re going to look for possible opportunities in Weekly Puts in the $9.00-8.50 range, depending on the intensity of the downward pressure we see on the stock as the market opens.

Enzon Pharmceuticals, Inc. ENZN

This is a stock that we want to put on our radars as we head into week’s end; biopharmas have been hot, and ENZN is among those that have been breaking out. We’re anxious to see how this play will continue to fare as it has been streaking into the blue sky.

It’s much like the move we saw in the past couple of weeks from VLTC, which spiked on news of an increased stake by billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn. It so happens that Icahn also owns shares in ENZN, which makes for an interesting side note. We’ll certainly want to keep this one in our sights moving forward.

Yahoo, Inc. YHOO – Options Ideas

If you recall, we were sitting on the fence with our approach to YHOO options yesterday as the internet search giant had fallen short on earnings. We noted that the heaviest action would likely be in the  $44-45 Calls or Puts, depending on the tone of the trend.

It became quickly apparent that YHOO was pulling back further upon the open,and anyone who followed our idea and latched onto the $44 Puts were in for quite a ride as those contracts traded in a range from .17-.55; an intraday swing of 223% The $45 Puts also made a move from .56-1.29, a slightly more subdued yet still very respectable 130%

Great Basin Scientific, Inc. GBSN

We need to congratulate anyone who caught our flag of GBSN in yesterday’s premarket report, as the stock made a healthy intraday run from 4.60-6.10 that could have afforded traders gains of up to 33% on the day on the heels of some FDA-related news.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PZOO Hits New Highs & More

Pazoo, Inc. PZOO

PZOO continued its established pattern of offering up sizable intraday swings, and went on to set a new high during yesterday’s session. It did hold support at a penny as we hoped it would, and traded up as high as .0125, for a 25% intraday move.

Our observed low on this play came a couple of weeks ago at .0049. Yesterday’s new high brought our total observed range on PZOO to 155%

The company also alerted us yesterday via a midday PR that its medical marijuana testing partner would be joining the newly-formed Nevada Cannabis Laboratory Association (NVCLA), which is the first such coalition to be formed in the state.

Voltari Corp. VLTC

VLTC’s epic run over the past three weeks, which we were just commenting on in yesterday’s pre-market report, received another boost with a noteworthy
performance that led to new annual highs once again.

The daily range on VLTC was 11.11 to 19.20, for a big intraday move of 73% Measured from the low of 2.14 we observed just three weeks ago to the day, that’s an enormous 797% swing. We’d call it incredible, but gains approaching (and often exceeding) the 1000% neighborhood are fairly commonplace for us, as anyone who has followed our reports for awhile can attest.

Our position with regard to how we’ll be approaching VLTC in coming sessions remains the same: Take advantage of any further increases with quick-trigger intraday trades, while keeping a sharp lookout for a sustained pullback.

Carl Icahn’s name and reputation have essentially been leading the way as the stock pushed to that impressive new 52-week high. When immaterial excitement propels a stock so high, so fast, we can be sure that a sell-off is somewhere on the horizon. Signs of that potential outcome were visible toward the end of the session as VLTC settled back to the $16-range at the close.

We’ll watch today for the possibility of a dip-and-rip scenario as VLTC is gapping up in early trading. Any consolidation is sure to lead to a potential bounce-play at some point, and as always, we’ll be ready to take advantage of those swings when they occur.

OSL Holdings, Inc. OSLH

Speaking of potential bounce-plays (and thousand-percent gainers, for that matter), we want to quickly jump back to OSLH, stock we currently have on bottom-watch. If you’ve been following along with our reports this month, you were with us as it exploded on a 1294% rip from .0021 (04/02) to .0274 (04/15).

OSLH has been peeling back off of those impressive highs over the past couple of sessions, and we’re going to want to keep a close eye for when it establishes a solid level of support, preferably at or above the penny mark. Opportunities should be available for quick gains on the subsequent rebound.

Yahoo, Inc. YHOO – Options Ideas

Despite YHOO falling short on earnings in its report out after yesterday’s close, we will be looking for any potential dip-and-rip scenarios, provided it can hold support at the 50DMA of 44.12 on any pullbacks.

We will be watching the $44-45 Calls and Puts, choosing when it becomes apparent which way the trend will carry. We can then jump in the money with our strike price and could be looking at significant gain opportunities.

If YHOO doesn’t hold that 50DMA as support then we would look for a protracted pullback and some added downside pressure, and go to the Put-side. If it can dip-and-rip, the Calls will see the action.
