Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AAPL Options & More

Apple, Inc. AAPL  – Options Idea

If you root through the seven year newsletter history archived at our website, BlueHorseshoeStocks.com, you would find that we’ve discussed AAPL more times than most stocks, even though we haven’t mentioned it much in recent times.

In fact, AAPL’s was the first go-to options chain that we focused on when we began including options trading ideas a few years ago. This morning, we’re coming back to this old favorite with a fresh idea to coincide with the current Apple hype.

The company is rolling out the new iPhone today, among other things, and iPhone announcements have historically provided some good ammunition for options traders. Today, we’re going to slate the AAPL Weekly $160 & $162.50 Calls for observation in forthcoming sessions as AAPL’s event is expected to drive up activity not only in its own stocks, but likely other tech stocks as well.


FutureLand Corp. FUTL

On Friday morning, we included FUTL in our watchlist, and the stock has made a solid two-swing for us. From Friday’s low of .0012 the stock set a new high of .0026 to kick off the week yesterday, which works out to an overall jump of 117% Yesterday’s big push came on volume of more than three times the monthly average.

We would also include a note of caution in terms of long term interest in this stock. The company dropped the news that it had entered into a joint venture with Greenleaf Holdings  that would “deliver solar technology to the cannabis industry”. Yet here it is, two months later, and there have been no further details given. We tend to be wary of companies that don’t keep a steady line of communication to shareholders.

That being said, we have seen some really nice movement on the chart as we mentioned above, so we’ll continue to keep an eye on FUTL.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: USRM, ICLD Follow-ups & More

U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. USRM
We’ve been tracking USRM very closely over the past few weeks, since initially mentioning it on the morning of February 27th and witnessing a huge subsequent increase( .014-.0545,+289%). We monitored the consolidation off of that high down to .0175, and once again signaled that it was time to give it our close attention last week on the 15th.

The rebound that has since occurred has been very nice, with USRM surging back to .053 yesterday, a jump of 203% over its .0175 swing low. So that’s twice now, in the span of less than a month that we’ve seen a 200% move out of this play. We’re obviously going to continue following it, with the type of price action and volatility we’ve seen so far, USRM is currently a swing-trader’s paradise.


InterCloud Systems, Inc. ICLD

We also had a ringer with ICLD earlier this month, when we signaled it on the 2nd before the stock took off from a low of .0157 to a high .0985, a 527% rip. After watching it consolidate off of those highs for a few days, re brought it back to readers’ attention in yesterday’s premarket report, and our attempted timing of the reversal couldn’t have worked any better.

From an early low of .0302, the stock steadily made its way up to a high .0439 shortly after 1PM, for an intraday spike of 45% and held more than half of its daily gains into the close, so this one will also remain on our watchlist in coming sessions.


Northern Dynasty Minerals, Ltd. NAK

We tagged NAK last Thursday after watching the stock search out a bottom for quite awhile. The stock did bounce, and has thus far posted a 31% increase, reaching 1.58 yesterday and closing just a tick below at 1.57, as you can see on the included snapshot.

Also on the chart, we can see that the RSI is on the verge of cracking the 50-line, and the MACD has just crossed in a bullish manner. Conditions seem to be ripe for the possibility of a continued rebound, so we’ll pay close attention to NAK in sessions to come.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TXHD, AUPH Recaps & More

Textmunication Holdings, Inc. TXHD

We included TXHD in yesterday’s extended watchlist after picking it up on a routine premarket volume scan, and we ended up being extremely happy we did so, with the stock making the top gains out of anything else we mentioned for the day.

Right from the opening bell, it blasted off from a low of .0042 and rocketed to a high of .0094, giving nimble traders the chance at intraday gains of up to 124%

TXHD closed at .0075 having traded massive volume, maintaining a good portion of the ground it gained during the day, so we’ll be eager to continue tracking its movements.


InterCloud Systems, Inc. ICLD

We remained hot on the trail of ICLD after issuing reminders in our reports  on Thursday and Fridays that it had begun to rebound off of its 52-week lows.

Thursday we had witnessed a low of .0157, and in yesterday’s newsletter we commented on the rapidly rising RSI and strong close, and sure enough, the stock continued its solid run-up on the chart.

ICLD traded in a range from .0221 to .0324, a 47% intraday boost, and an overall increase of 106% over our observed low from three sessions prior.


Aurinia Pharmceuticals, Inc. AUPH

The last time we put a tag on AUPH was at the end of January, and at the time, the stock was trading around $3, briefly touching a low of 2.95.

What occurred during the month of February was a slow and steady increase peaking at just under $4, but as we’ve come into March, the PPS has been ramping up much more intensely.

Yesterday, AUPH broke out to a new high of 7.32, which marks an overall upswing of 148% in the span of roughly five weeks.


Bottom-Watchers

Both Function(x) Inc. FNCX and Ocera Therapeutics, Inc. OCRX are going to be on our radars as potential rebound plays. FNCX has a excellent looking , ripening chart, and OCRX is gapping up off its own bottom this morning.

Each of these NASDAQ-listed stocks are required to work toward getting their share prices back above the 1.00 minimum standard, or face de-listing.
