Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Review, MKHD Recap

Reviewing Friday’s Options Calls

First thing today, we’d like to rehash a portion of Friday’s report that we didn’t get a chance to discuss yesterday. Our regular followers will recall the added note we included regarding a few options trading ideas we were considering. As a result of favorable jobs numbers released that morning, we pointed out our interest in trading Calls in SPY, AA, ISRG, & GPRO.

Regardless of which selection one used to take advantage of the trend, it was met with potentially lucrative results. The dip-and-rip pattern we were on the lookout for showed itself across the board. For example, one of the biggest standouts out of the bunch were the SPY $195 weekly calls had traded as low as .52, and made it to roughly 2.00.

Moving forward, we’ve got another set of options to monitor. One of our favorite options trading cash-cows this year has been PBR, and yesterday the stock had a big bounce following last week’s selloff. As a result we’re going to radar November $16 Calls, and see if we can once again use PBR to our advantage as we have countless times already this year.

Mount Knowledge Holdings, Inc. MKHD

After a significant performance following our first mention of MKHD (Range: .042-.085 +102%) the stock has done a good job of maintaining higher levels of support, and we just wanted to re-state why we are so keen to follow this light volume trader.

The thing that mainly drew us to MKHD last week was the PR the company released regarding its acquisition of cyber-security firm Civergy, Inc; an outfit which generated revenues in excess of $35M last year. Further details of the deal were released in an 8-K on Wednesday, and we’re anxious to see what kind of lasting effect the merger will have on MKHD.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: RSH Update & More

Radio Shack Corp. RSH

RSH has made regular appearances in our reports over the past couple of months, starting in the beginning of August, when we caught the stock off of its 52-week low of .55.

Following a major run-up to the 1.60-range on August 29th, the stock has been under a general consolidation amid bankruptcy rumors. This week, the company was hinting at possible refinancing deal that would allow them to avoid that situation for the time being, and this morning, that deal was confirmed.

As a result, the stock is up significantly today, having traded as high 1.65 in the premarket. We’re going to want to see support hold at previous resistance points at 1.15 and 1.30. Already, at today’s early highs, we’re seeing more than a 100% increase off of the lows we observed following our most recent RSH alert (.80)

Rockwell Medical, Inc. RMTI

RMTI is another morning gapper that we’re going to place on watch today. With the stock coming off of a recent bottom, it’s going to be interesting to see how today’s development affects its price action.

The company put out a hefty PR this morning regarding a commercialization/distribution deal with Baxter Healthcare (BAX):

WIXOM, Mich., Oct. 3, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rockwell Medical, Inc. (RMTI), a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company targeting end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) with innovative products and services for the treatment of iron replacement, secondary hyperparathyroidism and hemodialysis, announced today that it has signed an exclusive agreement with Baxter Healthcare Corporation, a subsidiary of Baxter International Inc. (BAX), to commercialize Rockwell’s hemodialysis concentrate product line in the U.S. and in select overseas markets.>> VIEW PR

BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. BCRX

BCRX appeared on Wednesday in our extended watchlist, and what has followed has been two fruitful sessions in a row. From a low of 9.89 on Wednesday, we witnessed as the stock bulled its way into yesterday’s close, reaching a daily high of 11.49, a solid 16% overnight increase.

Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. INO

Speaking of pharma plays, INO, a stock that has appeared several times in our reports recently, is also making moves concurrently with the present concern over the Ebola virus outbreak. The company actually has a Ebola vaccine with which they’ve reported success in treating animals with the deadly virus. Anything to do with Ebola is getting a lot of attention at present, and INO is no exception.

Side Note:

Jobs numbers were out this morning, to a positive reception. We will subsequently be looking for dip-and-rip opportunities with regard to options trading. Friday is characteristically a day when premiums start to come down as a result of time decay, with expirations looming. We’re looking at potential opportunities trading Calls in plays like SPY, AA, ISRG, & GPRO.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: DRL Update & More

Doral Financial Corp. DRL 

We tagged DRL on Wednesday via our Extended Watchlist as the stock was coming off of a bottom. The low we observed came in at 5.23, shortly before DRL surged up, cutting a path all the way to 7.10, an initial spike of 35%

That led into yesterday’s session where we’d see another sizable swing, as the stock came back to bounce off of support at 5.33, and subsequently ran back to 6.06 (+14%).

We’re interested in following this play over a longer term because of what they have going on behind the scenes. It was ruled by the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico that the evidential hearing in Doral’s case against the Puerto Rican government be expedited. It is alleged that Puerto Rico owes the lender a sum of $229 million. If repayment is ordered, it could add big numbers to the company’s balance sheet, so this is one play that we’re going to want to monitor closely going forward.

You can find out more about the case of Doral vs. Puerto Rico at www.doralpuertoricofacts.com

RF Micro Devices, Inc. RFMD

RFMD is another stock we’re paying attention to, as it has gained ground in large strides this week on the heels of shattered expectations with regard to the release of the company’s quarterly figures. They saw a quarterly revenue increase of more than 23% setting a new record of $316.3 Million. There were a number of other highlights as well which you can read in the PR- we’ll provide the link below.

As a result of the news, the stock is in the midst of a heavy surge, and is gapping up significantly in premarket trading today. In scenarios such as these where a stock runs unusually hard, we like to wait for the inevitable profit-taking to occur, driving the price back down where we can accumulate cheaper shares and sell them for quick-strike profits on the subsequent bounce. It’s a strategy that has served us well many times in the past.

Side Note:

This also turned out to be another great week with regard to our options trading ideas. Our FB and ISRG Options Calls provided us with multiple chances for gains, from multiple angles. Cheers to anyone who was also able to take advantage of some great calls. We wish you a pleasant weekend, and we’ll see everyone bright-and-early on Monday morning to do it all over again!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: NSCT Exclusive CEO Interview

Cloud Medical Doctor Software Corp. NSCT

We’ll start things off this morning by turning our attention back to NSCT; we brought it into the fold for the first time this week as a longer-term play. The chart appeared to have to some ripening to do, as it searched for a bottom and yesterday’s session appears to have brought one. The came down to bounce off of the .0522-mark, and subsequently closed at its high-of-day .0648, a 24% intraday move.

In addition to seeing some early success on the NSCT chart this week, we had the honor of conducting an exclusive interview with the company’s CEO, Mr. Michael DeLaGarza via our sister site, Stock Traders Talk. It covers quite a bit, so we suggest you visit the site, or click the following graphic to bring up the interview straight away:

Intuitive Surgical, Inc. ISRG

Our call of ISRG yesterday morning couldn’t have been much better, with the stock putting forth a heck of a performance in the ensuing session. It traded in a range from 438.55 – 463.39 on the day, and as a result, anyone who was entertaining options calls as we pointed out had the chance to make substantial gains.

The landmark session came on the heels of two morning PR’s that you may want to click through to, below:

Facebook, Inc. FB Options

Another great call of ours this week was the FB Calls that we brought to the table first thing Monday morning, stating: “We’ll be looking to capitalize on the volatility that comes with rising anticipation of earnings, due for release on Wednesday.”, and noting that we’ve used this scenario to our advantage in the past.

Wednesday came and went, earnings exceeded expectations, and our FB Calls offered up big gains just as we surmised. The stock traded in a daily range from 69.61 – 71.33, and this morning in premarket trading, has reached as high as 78.44.

To adjust our strategy on FB options, we’ll be monitoring the $75-77 Calls as we head into week’s end.
