Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Key Election Day Reminders & More

Starbucks Corp. SBUX – Options Update

On Friday morning, we suggested that the SBUX 11/11 $53.50-55 Calls
could be good for some solid opportunities if the momentum the stock had gained to that point managed to carry over into the new week. Of course, we followed up with a reminder of that fact in yesterday’s premarket report as well.

SBUX ultimately met our expectations and that range of contracts did provide some fantastic multi-bag intraday chances for our readers:

$53.50 Calls – Range: .49-1.32 – Max Gain: 169%
$54 Calls – Range: .25-1.00 – Max Gain: 300%
$54.50 Calls – Range: .12-.67 – Max Gain: 458%
$55 Calls – Range: .09-.40 – Max Gain: 344%

We won’t dismiss the possibility that further gains may be on the horizon for these weekly contract, dependent upon investor reaction to the unfolding events of election day.


Possible Bottom Plays

Sequential Brands Group, Inc. SQBG – This stock fell off a cliff last week, and we noticed the registering of a From-4 signaling an insider buy at the bottom. Yesterday the stock began to rebound, so we’re going to put it on watch as a potential recovery play.

Perion Netwrok Ltd. PERI – PERI has also recently been on a backslide but is regaining some ground this week. After a bullish session yesterday, the stock is gapping up in the premarket so we’ll have this one on watch as well.


CANNABIS SECTOR REMINDER: Apart from the volatility for the markets as a whole that the presidential election itself could certainly cause, we mustn’t forget what we’ve been shouting from the rooftops about the marijuana space for the past several weeks. Multiple key votes on both recreational and medical cannabis are on the ballots in many states.

The landscape of the industry is going to change overnight, and we aren’t going to miss out on the potential gains that will produce. We are effectively placing the entire sector on intensive watch until further notice.


Chatroom Call: International Consolidated Companies, Inc. INCC

INCC has gone on a heck of a run from .0007-.0025 after we tagged it in our traders chat on Friday, gaining as much as 257% so far.

We wanted to remind our readers that may not be aware- anyone can participate in our daily traders chat via Skype, where ideas like this one may come across once sessions get going. Simply send a contact request to ‘stocksumo‘ to get involved!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Wrapping Up Another Great Week

Options Roundup

American Express Co. AXP – For a fresh idea yesterday, we signaled a range of AXP options that we felt would see some nice activity in the wake of an earnings beat for American Express. The targets were the AXP Weekly $64-65.50 Calls.

Our assumptions proved accurate, with major moves happening for all four sets of contracts contained within that range:

$64 Calls – Range: 1.10-3.83 – Max Gain: 248%
$64.50 Calls – Range: .81-3.20 – Max Gain: 295%
$65 Calls – Range: .44-3.57 – Max Gain: 711%
$65.50 Calls – Range: .33-2.30 – Max Gain: 597%

______

Netflix, Inc. NFLX – We also had a running options idea going for NFLX since Tuesday, and the gains were extended even further for us in yesterday’s session. The NFLX Weekly $117-120 Calls have gone up every day since our initial alert, exceeding even our own expectations.

The updated figures below represent the range from Tuesday’s lows, to the new highs recorded yesterday, and the total possible gains therein:

$117 Calls – Range: 2.19-6.70 – Max Gain: 206%

Today’s Fresh Ideas

Microsoft Corp MSFT  – Continuing along our extremely successful pattern of taking advantage of earnings beats for options trading this week, we’re going to submit two last ideas today. With Microsoft hitting all-time highs, we’ll be very interested in tracking the activity in the MSFT Weekly $59-61 Calls*, and if the stock manages to break $61, of course we’d have to roll our strike prices up.
_____

 McDonalds Corp. MCD – McDonalds’ earnings report is also being well received this morning and MCD was a stock that had been previously backsliding. We’ll look to take advantage of the potential reversal with the MCD Weekly $113-115 Calls*.

*We always issue an extra warning when highlighting an idea that involves trading weekly options on a Friday. If you’re not an advanced trader, don’t even attempt it!


Other Updates

OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp. OWCP –
We first began talking about OWCP on September 29th, and at the time we had designated it a subpenny bottom-play. Our observed low that day was .0045, and the stock has never looked back as it’s gone on an absolutely epic ride since then.

We were impressed enough after seeing it run over 1500% past the seven cent mark in the first week we were tracking it, but what came next was on another level. We called for our readers to watch for a dip-and-rip off of that initial run, and that’s just what happened.

The stock reached an incredible new high of .191 yesterday, marking a surreal 4144% gain over our observed low from just three weeks ago.

_____

GreenGro Technologies, Inc. GRNH – As we’ve been mentioning all week, cannabis plays are hot once again, and one of the latest movers in that department has been GRNH. We tagged it along with several other pot stocks that have been performing well on Tuesday. Since that time, it has traded up from .0905 to  as high as .142, a 57% pop.

From our next most recent alert on GRNH on October 4th, the move has been even more impressive (.0651-.142; 118%).

As we said, we’ll continue to have it and other marijuana stocks on close watch as we approach election day, with several states having recreational marijuana on the ballot.

We’ve also prepared a video presentation of the charts on both of these plays, which you can view by tapping the image below:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: HAS Recap, Green Rush 2.0

Hasbro, Inc. HAS – Options Idea

Yesterday, after noticing the recording of new 6-month lows on HAS the day prior, coupled with a premarket earnings beat, we signaled a range of options ideas in our report.

Our targeted contracts were the HAS Weekly $79-81 Calls,with the stipulation that if the stock broke the $81-mark, that we’d correspondingly roll up our strike price a level. Based on the activity in HAS, there was literally no wrong answer, as all of the contracts mentioned provided us with a shot at excellent single-session gains.

$79 Calls – Range: 1.50-6.63 – Max Gain: 342%
$79.50 Calls – Range: 1.10-2.92 – Max Gain: 165%
$80 Calls – Range: .83-5.79 – Max Gain: 597%
$80.50 Calls – Range: .62-2.20 – Max Gain: 255%
$81 Calls – Range: .50-5.13 – Max Gain: 926%
$82 Calls – Range:  .24-1.25 – Max Gain: 421%

Fresh Options Idea:

With NFLX beating on earnings yesterday post-market, we’ll signal a range of contracts to watch there as well. We’re particularly interested in tracking the NFLX Weekly $117-120 Calls.



The Start of Green Rush 2.0?

A couple of years ago, when marijuana stocks first began to emerge, and the march toward legalization in many places began, we termed it a ‘Green Rush’. It was a historical few months of exponential gains for anything even remotely tied to the cannabis space.

We’ve never stopped monitoring the sector, which, compared to practically any other, is still in its infancy. Recently, we’ve been reminding our readers to keep a keen eye as well, for if all things remain equal, it’s likely that California will become a recreational marijuana state in just a few week’s time. California is the most populous state in the country, and the proposed bill is more comprehensive than anything we’ve seen in the other states where prohibition laws have been scrapped. The ripple effect from the world’s sixth largest economy legalizing marijuana and its by-products will be significant indeed.

In fact, the effect of the anticipation is already kicking the tires on what could very well be Green Rush 2.0. Out of the top 14 traded stocks on yesterday’s scanner (pictured below) all but one have some link to the pot sector. Every last one of them are stocks that we’ve talked about in the past, and all of them (and more) will be high up on our working watchlist over the next several weeks.

We warned our readers of the first Green Rush before it kicked into full swing back in 2014, and we’ve been doing our best to do the same thing in advance of the forthcoming California vote on Prop 64, which should ultimately prove to be a real game-changer.

The symbols pictured above will also serve as today’s Extended Watchlist, in addition to FLDM, a declining stock that we want to put on bottom watch.


Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Idea, Updates & More

Provectus Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. PVCT

We want to submit PVCT as a potential bottom-play candidate this morning after noticing the stock register a new annual low last week, followed by the recording of higher lows in the two sessions that followed.

We’re going to place the stock on watch for the possibility of an extended rebound, which would certainly be long overdue.


Alcoa, Inc. AA – Options Idea

After a disappointing earnings call this morning leading to a gap-down, compounded with the chart having been on the toppy side to begin with, we may be looking to go short on Alcoa, and the way we do that is by formulating some options trading targets.

The ones we’re particularly interested in are the AA Weekly $32-30 Puts, which could be in line for significant moves to the upside if the stock continues to lose ground once the session commences.


GreenGro Technologies, Inc. GRNH

GRNH, like several other stocks operating in the cannabis space, has been seeing increased activity of late. We’ve experienced this trend leading up to elections in previous years, and especially with a major vote for recreational usage coming up in California less than a month from now, we’re going to plan on keeping a close eye on anything tied to the sector until further notice.

After signaling GRNH in a report last week and observing a subsequent low of .0651, the stock continued to make appreciable moves to the upside, trading up from .0815 to .09518 (+17%) yesterday, and an overall 41% increase.


MyDx, Inc. MYDX

MYDX appeared in our report yesterday for the first time in awhile, and the stock made a solid intraday increase for us.

From a low of .0258 it reached as high as .034, a 32% rise. The move occurred on more than twice the monthly average volume, and the PPS only slid back to .0329 into the close, so we’ll certainly want to keep monitoring MYDX for further opportunities as the week progresses.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: APYP Recap & More

AppYea, Inc. APYP

We re-alerted our readers on APYP on Friday morning, after having included it in our premarket report exactly two weeks ago today. It has made some good progress since then, so we’d like to kick things off this morning by providing an update on the moves it has made.

Friday’s session produced a nice intraday gain from a low of .0029 up to a new high of .0044, for a solid 52% upswing, and from the low we observed subsequent to our next most recent mention (.0009), it represented an overall increase of 389% in just under two week’s time.


Bottom-Watchlist

Both of the following stocks have recently fallen to new annual lows. We’re always on the lookout for potential bottom-bounce plays, so we’re going to want to place each of them on watch over the next few sessions.

Pain Therapeutics, Inc. PTIE – This stock underwent a massive gap-down and sell-off a couple weeks back following an FDA application denial for the extended release oxycodone capsules that the company has been licensed to develop since 2002.

We’re going to track it closely as it searches for its ultimate lows, which, if present indicators are any guide, could be forthcoming at any time now.

Cosi, Inc. COSI – While there is no gap to the upside on the COSI chart, we can see the same sort of major selloff that occurred a couple of weeks ago, and continuing up until Friday, when a new 52-week low was recorded.

As you can see on the snapshots, however, COSI is even more heavily oversold than the previously mentioned play. The volatility of its precipitous decline is what interests us most in tracking the stock for its eventual rebound.
