Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ITEK Recap, Options Ideas & More

Inotek Pharmaceutical Corp. ITEK

Our report for yesterday brought a couple of nice opportunities, with ITEK standing out as the most impressive. We caught this play on our routine morning scan, after noticing some abnormally elevated premarket activity. The company had released some information regarding its glaucoma treatment exiting Phase II studies and laying a strategic path for Phase III, and needless to say, it was very well-received.

This wasn’t a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it sort of move either, with just a small move up to start the session, ITEK traded sideways for most of the morning. Just prior to lunchtime is when we started to see the beginnings of an epic intraday run, especially for a stock in this price range.

From a low of  7.66, the stock exploded to reach a daily (and new annual) high of 16.75, standing as a single-session surge of 119%  The overall move as of this morning’s premarket high of 18.20 registers as an overnight increase of 138%  Cheers go out to any of our readers who caught our alert!

WindStream Technologies, Inc. WSTI

It was Tuesday’s Letter to Shareholders that caught our eye in the premarket news feed, causing us to raise a flag on WSTI that morning.

We’ve covered it every day since, and have been rewarded with incremental gains throughout, with the stock recording higher highs and higher lows each session. Yesterday, we witnessed an intraday run from .0172-.0244, which yielded the chance at gains of up to 42% on the day.

From our observed low on Tuesday (the 52-week low of .0085) we’ve now seen an overall jump in WSTI amounting to 187% in just three session’s time. Refer to the annotated chart below to evaluate WSTI’s chances of making further advances from this juncture.

Friday Options Ideas

If you recall last Friday, we came up huge with an alert on Weekly GOOG Calls.  We mentioned how time-decay at this point in the week begins to evaporate premiums in contracts with a weekly expiration, and generates a high-octane volatile environment where big gains are often there for the taking for those who can assume a higher-than-average risk.  A 694% intraday run from one of the sets of contracts we highlighted in that report was there to prove our point.

___

We’re going to venture a similar set of ideas this morning for Weekly AMZN Calls in the $575-595 range. The stock is gapping up hard this morning to the tune of 20%, thus we will have our eyes peeled for a classic dip-and-rip scenario.

___

We’re also going to put a marker flag on Weekly FB Calls from $96-50-97.50. The stock is rebounding off of a pullback over the past couple of days, after performing extremely well for the majority of this month.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: New Item of Interest – MBHC


Mobile Broadcasting Holding, Inc. MBHC

We’re going to start off this new trading week with a new item of interest in MBHC, a stock with an interesting backstory that began to build some nice momentum on the chart toward the end of last week.

The main focus of the company at the moment is the impending launch of its new mobile streaming app, known as Whirld. It is intended to be the first truly real-time, interactive, mobile video broadcasting utility, and has been approved for sale in the Apple APP Store (iOS) and the Google Play Market (Android).

The launch was originally slated for late this spring, but was temporarily delayed for extra time in beta testing, and to upgrade to a global communications platform that will allow for more expedient updates and enhancements once the app is in operation. Per the release which revealed that announcement, we are now less than a month away from seeing all of the necessary changes implemented and having the app hit stores.

To facilitate all of the progressive changes at the company and give the Whirld app its best chance for success, MBHC brought in two industry heavyweights with the collective knowledge to get it off the ground; Jeff Marcus, and Alan Rambam.

Jeff Marcus has had his hand in billions of dollars worth of IT startups over the years, building himself an extremely impressive resume`. From his early days as a software engineer for IBM and formulating network solutions for UPS and KPMG, he began accruing the knowledge required for an ambitious endeavor such as the Whirld app. His career led him to high-level networking positions at companies like 24/7 Real Media (sold for $650M) and DoubleClick (Google buyout totaling $3.1B). He’s had a front-row seat for the development of the mobile age, and brings all of that experience and know-how to MBHC.

Alan Rambam is a social media, advertising, and analytics expert who previous job experience file is also jam-packed. He was one of the youngest staff members in the Clinton Administration,  and would go on to found Shine, Inc. were he would develop well-known social campaigns and charities such as the MTV Fight for Your Rights Campaign, and the Muhammad Ali Scholarship Fund.

On Friday,  MBHC enjoyed a surge in momentum in the wake of an exciting press release that really ramps up Whirld’s extreme potential as an app. In an global deal signed with none other than Twitter, MBHC has secured itself as the the home for Electronic Dance Music (EDM), a rapidly growing genre,to provide the most shared, real-time EDM concert footage on Earth. It includes unfettered access to air in real-time every piece of content placed on Twitter from some of the worlds biggest EDM Festivals (including Tomorrowland, Electric Daisy Festival, Ultra, and Electric Zoo). This is a significant proposition, with EDM Festivals raking in roughly $4.5B annually; no other genre of festival music in the world can make such a claim. EDM has a huge following in the younger generation, which is a key demographic being targeted by MBHC for the Whirld app. >>> VIEW PR

Options Recap – Friday’s Huge Winner

We can’t go without mentioning the top-notch options ideas we offered our readers in Friday’s premarket report. In the midst of taking credit for the previous session’s ideas we had on NFLX (One of which ran more than 3800% in a single session!) we presented GOOG as a good options-trading candidate and recorded a target range. Specifically, we called attention to GOOG Weekly $640-655 Calls. As everyone should be aware, GOOG had a landmark session after the earnings beat;
impressively gaining more than 16% as it traded in a range from 645.00 – 674.47.

As a result, and for the second consecutive day, our options ideas went haywire and yielded up the chance at some excellent profits. Here’s a breakdown of the moves that were made by those hot-ticket contracts:

$640 Calls – Daily Range: 8.80-29.00 – Max Gain: 230%
$642.50 Calls – Daily Range: 9.40-27.40 – Max Gain: 191%
$645 Calls – Daily Range: 6.20-24.90 – Max Gain: 302%
$650 Calls – Daily Range: 3.90-23.56 – Max Gain: 302%
$655 Calls – Daily Range: 2.33-18.50 – Max Gain: 694%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Special Options Video & More

Huge Options Winners/New Ideas – Special Video Presentation To wrap another excellent trading week, we’re going to do something new. With such huge winners coming from yesterday’s options ideas, and big opportunities coming today, we’ve drawn up a visual aid in the form of an informative and instructive video presentation.

We highly suggest our readers click through to the following special video featuring our very own ‘Stock Sumo’, who succinctly explains how we found huge success with NFLX Calls yesterday, and how we may be able to do the same with GOOG Calls today.

DON’T MISS THIS IMPORTANT PRESENTATION:

The video outlines the gains on yesterday’s idea of NFLX Weekly $107.00 -111.43 Calls. Every one of the 13 sets contracts in that range exploded for astounding gains. They ranged from the $107.14’s running 508% from 1.52-9.25, to the $111.43’s amazing 3823% jump from a low of .13 to as much as 5.10.

It goes on to mention our options speculations for today’s session. Google is gapping up an earnings beat this morning, and we’ve formulated some corresponding ideas, specifically GOOG Weekly $640-655 Calls. We’ll be looking out for a possible dip-and-rip scenario to come into play.

Trading Weekly contracts on a Friday can be be an exciting proposition when proper caution is exercised. Time-decay becomes a big factor so close to expiration, and premiums evaporate. That tends to lead to more volatile activity, creating an environment in which we thrive.

Voltari Corp. VLTC 

We’ve been tracking VLTC for quite some time, following it to some awesome gains this spring after word got out of billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn’s position in the stock. We re-alerted the stock on Tuesday via our Extended Watchlist, and lo and behold, Icahn’s name would find its way into the VLTC news stream again.

We had to be patient for a couple of sessions, but were ultimately rewarded yesterday with one heck of an intraday move when traders learned that Icahn was still long in the stock. VLTC ran from a low of 5.57 all the way up to 9.00; a 62% swing that came on a little more than five times the 3-month average volume.
