Blue Horseshoe Stocks: WTW, TRIP Updates & More


Weight Watchers International, Inc. WTW – Options Update

Mentioning the stock for the first time in our reports after catching yesterday’s news that Oprah is taking up a 10% stake in WTW, turned out to be yet another great feat of intuition on our part. We suspected that the hype-fueled run in the premarket would be subject to a classic dip-and-rip scenario which would allow us substantial opportunities on the options-trading front, and our assumption ultimately proved to be correct.

Just to refresh your memories, our specific target range was the WTW 11/20 $10-13 Calls, and all but one set in that range produced the chances for which we were looking. The $10 Calls were a bit too far out of the money to see any notable increases, but the $11, $12, and $13 Calls were all winning selections as WTW itself traded from 10.76-15.09 (+40%).

$11 Calls – Daily Range: 1.30-3.99 – Max Gain: 207%
$12 Calls – Daily Range: 1.00-3.50 – Max Gain: 250%
$13 Calls – Daily Range: .75-2.70 – Max Gain: 260%

The stock has continued to barrel upward in the premarket today, having once again cracked the $15 mark. By now it should go without saying that we’ll have to take a look at rolling up our strike prices to stay closer to the money in the event that the uptrend is sustained.


TripAdvisor, Inc. TRIP – Options Update

We began taking advantage of the TRIP options chain last week, where we tracked several different sets of contracts to triple-bag gains and better (we even had a 650% single-session mover!). To kick off the new week yesterday, we reiterated our interest in a specific idea, and it took almost no time at all for it to bear fruit.

We mentioned that we’d continue to observe the TRIP 10/30 $85 Calls and they logged a winning session for us once again. From a daily low of 1.50, they managed to run as high as 1.93. That goes down as a respectable intraday move of 29%
.
We’ll look for TRIP to maintain support at or above yesterday’s swing low of 82.53 on any pullbacks to stay interested, but we will continue to track these contracts in the days ahead.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PVSP Update, PLUG News & More

Pervasip Corp. PVSP

For the second consecutive session, PVSP made higher highs and higher lows yesterday. We re-focused on this old favorite at the end of last week, and caught it trading at a low of .0014. After a solid session to close out the holiday-shortened week, we once again included it in our premarket report yesterday, and the stock kicked this week off on a strong note as well.

We observed a trading range from .0015 to .0021, a 40% intraday push, and an overall range of 50% over our observed low from Thursday.

The heathly activity on the chart can be attributed in part to last week’s acquisition news; PVSP now holds, through its newly-acquired subsidiary, a 60% stake in Denver-based distribution company servicing the hydroponic and indoor cannabis grow market>> Read PR


Plug Power, Inc. PLUG

Speaking of old favorites, PLUG has published a PR today which is standing out among this morning’s top news items, with a very promising announcement of their Q2 figures. Perhaps one of the most notable aspects; the company shipped more than twice as many of its GenDrive fuel cell units as it did in the previous quarter.

This news comes at an opportune time, with the stock having been undergoing a recent downtrend which culminated in the logging of a new 52-week low yesterday. We’re anxious to follow the activity after what is looking like a significant gap-up this morning, in what could turn into a noteworthy rebound-play.

LATHAM, N.Y., July 7, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Plug Power Inc. (PLUG), a leader in providing clean, reliable energy solutions, today highlighted strong fuel cell and hydrogen infrastructure shipments and installations in the second quarter of 2015 allowing for a record revenue quarter. The company is on track to achieve its previously announced 2015 financial targets. >> FULL PR


Prima BioMed, Ltd. PBMD

Also cropping up on our news scanner this morning is PBMD. It’s no secret that we’ve had an exceptional amount of success with various pharma plays this year, and this could be the next entry into that group.

This morning’s news suggests that the company’s flagship product, a metastatic breast cancer treatment, could be on the path to approval for European markets. The stock is trading at its lowest price since May.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA–(Marketwired – Jul 7, 2015) – Prima BioMed Ltd (ASX: PRR) (NASDAQ: PBMD) (“Prima” or the “Company”), a leading immuno-oncology company, is pleased to announce that it has received positive Scientific Advice from the European Medicines Agency (“EMA” or the “Agency”) on the development path for its lead product, IMP321 in metastatic breast cancer. >> FULL PR
