Blue Horseshoe Stocks: New Options Ideas & More

New Options Ideas

The market, which has been struggling mightily here in the opening weeks of 2016 for numerous reasons, appears to be in line for some measure of a rebound today, based on early trading activity. Q4 earnings season has kicked off, which should result in an increase of options trading opportunities in the days and weeks ahead.  In the event this trend holds and progresses, we’re going to want to have a few options contracts ready and waiting in the hopper to watch for swing-trade possibilities.

Shire plc SHPG

SHPG shares are gapping up to the tune of more than 5% in the premarket this morning in the wake of the revelation that Shire would be acquiring US-based Baxalta for a whopping $32B. The deal figures to create the largest rare-disease drugmaker conglomerate in the world.

We like to take advantage of blockbuster reveals such as this, and the trading hysteria they tend to create. For this particular situation, we are going to set our sights on SHPG Weekly $175-180 Calls.

Acadia Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ACAD

ACAD has been tumbling down in terms of PPS in recent sessions. The reported possibility of dilution as a result of fundraising via public offering has had investors coming down on the bearish side of the fence. We want to be on the lookout for the possibility of a rebound. If such a move occurs we’re going to have the ACAD 02/19 $29 Calls and 03/18 $30 Calls on our radars moving forward.

Alcoa, Inc. AA – Possible Recovery Play

AA is striking us as a stock whose time for a rebound may be fast approaching. We want to signal this as a potential bottom-play. The strength index is heading into heavily oversold territory, and a triple-bottom setup suggests AA could be nearing basement-level prices.

We’re going to add this to our current list of bottom-watch plays, which also includes KOOL, MGI, GNBT, and MAXD.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SBFM Update, Options Idea & More

Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. SBFM

We initially tagged SBFM for observation four sessions back (exactly one week ago) after noticing abnormal activity the day prior, and were immediately met with a big run from .008-.0183 (129%) that first day. In each of the sessions since the stock has recorded higher lows and to open up 2016 trading yesterday the stock jumped to impressive new highs.

From a daily low of .013 SBFM made a nice intraday move totaling 65% as pushed its upper limits to a .0214 on heavy volume.  That represented an overall swing in the three sessions since we’ve  been tracking it to a highly respectable 168%

The overall uptrend kicked off with the revelation that the company had acquired all of the worldwide patents for its “anticancer compound”, Adva-27a >>>VIEW PR

Breathe eCig Corp. BVAP

BVAP was an item of interest in our report from last Wednesday, and it took only three sessions to realize the big move we suspected might be in store. The company has been consistently retiring its convertible debt in tranches over the past several months, and a deal that will allow for full repayment was the subject of an announcement that hit wires yesterday. (VIEW PR)

That news helped to push the stock to a new high of .0039, which from our observed low of .0015 on the day of our initial alert, goes down in the books as a three-day swing of 160%

Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. SWHC – Options Idea

SWHC caught our eye in the premarket this morning and struck us as a possible opportunity to see some big intraweek swings in some options calls. As the Obama administration presses for heightened restrictions on firearms, gun manufacturers are reporting exceptionally increased demand.

Add in yesterday’s post-market earnings which reflected bolstered sales and 2016 guidance, and we have a potential recipe for continued bullishness.

As a result, we want to put a range of options on our radars; specifically the SWHC Weekly $24-26 Calls. We’ll be in the lookout for a possible dip-and-rip scenario to kick things off, and will remain interested as long as the dip carries the stock no lower than $24.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Winning Pick Roundup


Winning Pick Roundup

Despite the traditional holiday tax-loss selling season and generally subdued atmosphere that inherently goes along with it, we’ve managed to round up a fair queue of winning selections. We’ve touched on options plays, ETNs, and stocks; surprisingly it is the stocks that are making moves during this short trading week. Take a look at the plays we’ve been tracking and the kinds of moves they’ve made for us.

FXCM, Inc. FXCM

As we were mentioning in yesterday’s premarket report, we began following FXCM two weeks ago and subsequent to that, would witness a low of 6.68 in the stock. Even after showing us a 196% pop, it wasn’t finished yet.

Yesterday the stock made an appreciable intraday move from 16.80 to 20.36, which represents a 21% jump; quite impressive for a stock in such a price range.

______

Swift Energy Co. SFYW

We placed SFYW on watch a week ago today, and it too has made some notable leaps during that time. From the low we observed on the day we began to track it (.065), it has managed to soar 82% to a high of .118 during yesterday’s session.

We’ll remain interested for as long as the stock continues to establish higher base levels of support moving forward.

______

Hybrid Coating Technology, Inc. HCTI

HCTI made an appearance in yesterday’s premarket extended watchlist and anyone who was paying attention had a chance to bank a nice profit on the day.

From a low of .0015 the stock rushed to a daily high of .0021, which works out to an intraday spike of 40% It also closed at the high-of-day, and whenever we see that, we’ll always reserve a space on our watchlist the following day for the possibility of what we refer to as momentum carryover.

______

Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. SBFM

SBFM was the other play from our extended watchlist yesterday that ended up turning some heads in the early part of the day. From morning lows of .008, the stock cracked into Pennyland, reaching a high of .0183 by lunchtime. That registered as a 129% intraday swing so congrats to anyone who was in on the action!
