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: SOPW News, PTN on Bottom Watch

Solar Power, Inc. SOPW

SOPW is the first of a couple of news plays that we’re going to be taking a look at this morning. The company has announced the initiation of a 6-month long share repurchase program wherein it will obtain up to $50M of its common stock from the open market.

Xiaofeng Peng, Chairman of SPI stated, “The implementation of our share repurchase program reflects the confidence that our Board and management have in SPI’s growth prospects and our commitment to enhance value for our shareholders while retaining adequate flexibility for future growth.” >>> READ FULL PR

In addition to the favorable PR that, in and of itself would be enough to gain our attention, SOPW has also been searching for a bottom over the past few weeks, and we’ll want to be hanging around when it finds one, as the subsequent rebound could be considerable.

Palatin Technologies, Inc. PTN

PTN has capitalized on the FDA’s recommendation for the first ever treatment for a disorder that affects the female sex drive. The company itself has a similar treatment that is currently enrolling women for Phase-3 trials.

As a result of this heightened attention, this morning, the stock is gapping up over 50% in the premarket. We’re going to tag it for observation, because the potential for a dip-and-rip in situations like these is ever-present.

LinkedIn Corp. LNKD –  Options

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ICLD Update & More

InterCloud Systems, Inc. ICLD

We’ve been tracking ICLD continuously since last Monday, and after witnessing a low of 3.01 and subsequent run to 4.30 that day (+43%), the stock turned in quite an admirable performance for the week as a whole.

Following a dip back to 3.01 on Tuesday, ICLD would register higher highs and higher lows all week, which provided some excellent swing-trade opportunities. Tuesday’s intraday run carried ICLD in a range from 3.01-4.00, for chances at up to 33% in gains. On Wednesday the move was from 3.11-3.75 (21%). Thursday’s session brought a similar 22% gain as it pushed from 3.35 to 4.09.

The great weekly performance culminated in a new high being set on Friday as the stock touched a low of 3.65 before reaching 4.48. It marked another nice intraday spike (+23%) and an overall increase of 49% over our observed low earlier in the week.

The stock has traded up to the 4.30’s here in the premarket, so we’ll have ICLD on our watchlist as we kick off a new trading week, and we’ll be interested to follow the action. We’ll also remind our readers that the company has a conference call scheduled for Wednesday, the info for which you can obtain by clicking through the link to the PR below.
