Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Pot Stocks, ALDR Recap & More

Max Sound Corp. MAXD
 
After congratulating ourselves on observing a 112% rip from MAXD after tagging it in Thursday morning’s premarket report the stock wasn’t finished. Just as a refresher, our observed low that morning was .0033 and the high came in at .007.

We said we wanted to keep tracking the stock due to a strong close and the momentum did indeed carry over into the new trading week. After the slightest dip to .006 first thing in the morning yesterday, MAXD once again took off northward, reaching a new high at an even penny.

The activity was good for isolated intraday gains of up to 67%, and at that penny high, it represented a two-session upswing of 203% over our observed low from Thursday. As long as MAXD continues to register higher base levels of support as it has done thus far, it will retain our attention.


Alder Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. ALDR

ALDR was an inclusion from yesterday’s watchlist as well, and we saw some excellent intraday gains, especially considering its elevated price range. We watched as it traded up from a low of 21.75 and reached a subsequent high of 27.79.

That represents a single-session advance of 28% which is all the more impressive coming from a $20+ stock. The move came on roughly fifteen times the 3-month average volume, and was facilitated by news of positive migraine study results.


Also included in our report yesterday was a list of marijuana stocks we’ve tracked over a period of years, that we wanted to revisit to kick off the week, as investor interest in the cannabis space seems to be on the rise of late. In addition to HEMP, which made a small double-digit increase but had a relatively modest session by comparison, the following pair each made gains of a more substantial nature: 

GreenGro Technologies Corp. GRNH – First up, GRNH made an impressive daily swing as it traded in a range from .03-.05, for potential profits of up to 53% being made possible on the day.

Terra Tech, Inc. TRTC – The other runner was TRTC, which made a move from .33-.41, a 24% increase. We’re going to continue to reserve a spot on our radars for this one as well, especially with a post-market earnings call slated for this afternoon. (Click through to PR for participation info)


*We also have a reminder for our readers of a couple other pot plays we’ve tracked in the past that we’re going to be monitoring more closely in the light of increased sector activity: PHOT, VAPE

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MAXD Recap, Cannabis Stocks & More

Max Sound Corp. MAXD
 
A huge standout from Thursday’s session was MAXD, which we tagged as a bottom-bouncer in our premarket report. The stock had been mostly trading sideways over the preceding couple of months, so our alert definitely came at the proper time.

From its daily low of .0033 right at the outset, the stock continually pushed the envelope for a vast majority of the session, eventually reaching the zenith at an impressive .007. That represented an intraday gain opportunity of up to 112% with heavy volume, on the order of more than three times the monthly average.

We’ll continue to track MAXD, looking for the stock continue building a higher base level of support in coming sessions.


United Cannabis Corp. CNAB

We’ve been monitoring the cannabis space more closely over the past couple of weeks, since a big development from the labs at GW Pharma (GWPH) sent shockwaves through the investment community and began to drive heavier interest back to marijuana related stocks.

We’re still seeing those effects reverberating down to several of these ‘pot-plays’. One that stood out to us on Thursday morning was CNAB, and it enjoyed a respectable intraday performance subsequent to our premarket flag. We observed a low of .51 first thing in the morning, and the stock took off like a rocket. The high it shot up to was .75, marking a 47% rip.

The stock maintained a good portion of its daily advance into a close at .673, and of course volume was much higher than normal, so this is another that we’ll keep on our watchlist for the time being.

______

Cannabis Sativa, Inc. CBDS

Another run of success we’ve had recently within the cannabis sector has been due to our call of CBDS. We first introduced this stock to our reports in early February, and would monitor the stock as it found support at .30 several sessions later. From there it began a gradual rise that became much more pronounced midway through this month.

The gains on the chart since then have been absolutely stellar, and CBDS hasn’t looked back, as it recorded a new high of 3.73 on Thursday. That brought the overall upswing we’ve witnessed in just a month’s time to a meteoric 1143%
_______

ADDED NOTE:

Another handful of marijuana stocks we’ve tracked over a long period of time are HEMP, TRTC, and GRNH, and those will continue to garner our attention in the immediate future, with interest in the sector bubbling up once again.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: GWPH, GRNH Updates & More


GW Pharmaceuticals, Inc. GWPH

Yesterday morning, we suggested our readers pay attention to the activity in GWPH, which had just published a blockbuster PR regarding top-line success in a late-stage trial of a cannabis-derived treatment (>>View PR).

The breakthrough nature of the study caught many people’s eyes, and throughout the course of the day’s news cycle, the story got significant national attention from multiple media outlets.

As we’d mentioned in our premarket report yesterday, we were going to do some cherry-picking, waiting for the gap-up to lead to an early dip (which it did), and then track in-the-money calls. To give an idea of the sort of scenario that was possible, the GWPH $75 Calls ran from 7.70-16.70 (+116%)

We’ll continue monitoring in-the-money calls in the $75-85 range, and if GWPH appears to want to break $90, consider rolling our strike price up to that level.


GreenGro Technologies, Inc. GRNH

The national attention cast upon GW Pharma also brought some nice activity into other cannabis-related plays, and GRNH was one of them. We’ve got an established history of tracking this stock that stretches back for years. A search of our archive shows that this morning marks the 35th occasion on which we’ve mentioned the stock.

The most recent of those mentions came this past Wednesday, when we tagged it in our morning watchlist, after which time we observed a low of .02.

Yesterday, the stock rode the wave of attention for the sector to an impressive 62% rip as it ran from .0215-.0349. It also marked a total swing of 74% over the low we witnessed last week.

Added Note: We prepared a list of some other marijuana stocks to monitor more closely in the light of heightened investor awareness of the sector:  CANV, CBDS, CANN, CNBX

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Tuesday’s Gainers, Options Recap & More

Yesterday’s Movers

While Tuesday’s activity was more subdued than the landmark session we had on Monday, we did manage to find major success with our options trading ideas, as well as the following stocks which made moderate moves to the upside:

Propanc Health Group Corp. PPCH – PPCH is a stock we’ve talked about on several occasions in the past, and it continued its ascent off of recently established annual lows following its inclusion in yesterday’s morning report.

The stock traded in a range from .0188 to .026, an intraday pop totaling 38%, and it did so on volume which came in at nearly quadruple the 3-month average. It also closed just a few ticks below the HOD, so we’ll certainly have a continued spot on our watchlist reserved for PPCH for the time being.

_____

Black Stallion Oil & Gas, Inc. BLKG – Traders with a quick trigger finger could have taken advantage of the rapid move made by BLKG right out of the starting gate yesterday, with its spike from .08 to .12. The run was, however, relatively short-lived as compared to the previously mentioned play.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: VAPE Recap, Options & More

Yesterday’s Winning Plays

Vape Holdings, Inc. VAPE – This stock has been appearing in our reports sporadically for several months, and yesterday we re-mentioned it just in the nick of time to allow ourselves to catch intraday gains of up to 98% as it surged from .0045 to .0089. It marked a single-session gain of 98% and was by far the most impressive play of the day.

_____

CTI BioPharma Corp. CTIC – We’ve been hot on the trail of CTIC since releasing our morning report last Wednesday, and yesterday the stock continued to push its upper limits as it has done each day since. On the morning of our initial alert we observed a low of .45 in CTIC, and as of yesterday’s high of .71 had seen a solid increase of 60% in a span of just four sessions.

_____

Arcis Resources Corp. ARCS – Despite falling to new daily lows over the course of the afternoon, ARCS did provide an opportunity for quick-witted traders right at the outset of the session. The stock rapidly ran from .0026-.0057, representing a shot at up to 119% in gains before the bottom fell out. The stock closed at its low of .002, so we may want to scan for the possibility of an upcoming bottom-bounce.

_____

Added Note: Seeing healthy activity out of VAPE and ARCS, both cannabis-related stocks, reminds us of another play in the space that has made some big moves for us in the past and has just started to come up off of a bottom. That’s why we’ll also be watching GreenGro Technologfies, Inc. GRNH in sessions to come.


 New Options Ideas

We want to signal a set of options ideas for each of the following retailers in the wake of earnings beats this morning. We’ll be tracking these calls for potential intraday/intraweek trade opportunities:

Macy’s, Inc. M – Macy’s earnings and guidance are engendering investor confidence in the firm’s ability to streamline its business in 2016, and adapt to the changing marketplace. The resultant chart activity has us interested in tracking M Weekly $41.50-45 Calls.

The Home Depot, Inc. HD – In this case, our target range is going to be the HD Weekly $125-129 Calls.   Home Depot issued its report citing record earnings, and restated its plans to move forward with an $11B share repurchase program to be transacted by the end of fiscal 2017.
