Blue Horseshoe Stocks: LNKD Options Update & More

LinkedIn Corp. LNKD – Options

A week ago today, we formulated some options ideas for LNKD including a range of longer-term contracts for our watchlist, specifically August $220.00-230.00 Calls. This morning we wanted to give an update on the trading ranges of those contracts and the opportunities they have afforded us thus far.

08/21 $220 Calls – Range: 9.80-14.30 – Max Gain: 46%
08/21 $225 Calls – Range: 8.02-11.30 – Max Gain: 41%
08/21 $230 Calls – Range: 5.10-9.35 – Max Gain: 83%

We want to keep in mind that we essentially have all summer to continue monitoring these contracts. The swings we’ve seen up to this point could just be the tip of the iceberg, so we won’t let LNKD slip off of our radars. The stock has been on a steady rebound from recent lows since the end of May. We’ll be looking for it to continue to building the chart with higher highs and higher lows; key resistance is presently sitting at the 50DMA of 226.39.

Medican Enterprises, Inc. MDCN

We also need to remind our readers of a recent bottom-watch call we made in the form of MDCN. This cannabis-related play has appeared in our reports several times; most recently on May 26th. At the time we mentioned that the stock was searching for support after a months-long downtrend, and that we felt the possibility of a rebound was forthcoming.

While it took several sessions to occur, MDCN finally found its legs yesterday with an 85% swing from .0013-.0024. It closed with strength, maintaining more than 50% of its daily gains on heavy volume, so we’ll definitely continue to observe the action here for the possibility of a multi-day run.

TapImmune, Inc. TPIV

Another stock that we tagged earlier this spring has been making serious moves. Just to update, we tagged TPIV on April 16th and at the time the stock was trading below .20. Since then, it has increased more than three-fold, now pushing its way up into the mid-.80’s.

This stock could produce ample bounce-play opportunities when it finally does consolidate off of this latest run-up, so we’ll put it on closer watch into next week.

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

Our LNKD Weekly Options Calls that we brought into the mix on Wednesday continued to pay dividends for the second consecutive session yesterday. We wanted to give a quick update on the ranges and total gains that have been possible with those contracts over a two-day span:

$205′s – Range: 6.00-11.64 – Max Gain: 94%
$207.50′s – Range: 4.20-9.29 – Max Gain: 119%
$210′s – Range: 2.60-7.30 – Max Gain: 181%
$212.50′s – Range: 1.58-5.10 – Max Gain: 223%

We want to extend our congratulations to anyone who joined us in taking advantage of the trend in LNKD this week. It wasn’t the first time we’ve made successful options calls on this stock, and it probably won’t be the last.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Reviewing COTE, DNRG & More

Coates International, Ltd. COTE

After tracking COTE over a monstrous 560% swing (.0025-.0165) on Tuesday, we cautioned readers that a dip-and-rip might be in the cards yesterday, and it’s a good thing that we did.

The follow-up move managed by COTE was smaller by comparison, but still very impressive in and of itself. The daily range on the stock was huge, as it surged from .0068 and once again ran into resistance at .0165. It marked an intraday move of 142% and came on more than six times the monthly average volume.

We’ll continue to reserve a place on our watchlist for COTE as we head into the end of the week; if its activity thus far is any indicator, we may yet see the development another opportunity for healthy daily gains.

Dominovas Energy Corp. DNRG

DNRG exploded off of our extended watchlist yesterday, where we included a tag of it and the interesting PR we found on a routine scan. It appeared others found it interesting as well, because the stock went on an absolute rip from .005 to .0125; a single session swing of 150%

It was fortunate that we were vigilant enough to catch this play for ourselves and our readers, which up until this week, had been trading by appointment only. After the considerable momentum in the stock yesterday, we’ll be tracking its activity for the remainder of the week.
