Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Success, MNKD & More

Eleven BioTherapeutics, Inc. EBIO

Out of four focal points for yesterday morning’s premarket report, three of them worked out very nicely. From the stock side of things, we had EBIO, which we designated as a potential momentum play after noticing it picking up steam in prior sessions.

Our hunch was good, as the stock ran from a low of 2.31 to 2.955 (+28%) on roughly nine times its monthly average volume. It was a relatively modest gain, yet we did see a temporary breach of the 50DMA as well as a strong close at 2.78. It was a solid enough performance to warrant further observation.

MannKind Corp. MNKD – We drew attention to MNKD on Wednesday morning and just want to provide an update on its excellent progress so far. In the past two sessions since then it has traded up from a low of .44 to .68 (+55%) in two bullish sessions. We’ll be looking for a possible continuation of that trend.

Options Winners

The other two winners from yesterday were both successful options ideas that we formulated on the heels of strong earnings reports, and the gain opportunities there were quite a bit larger.

We’ve come to routinely expect huge multi-bag intraday runs when we hit on a good post-earnings idea, and that’s just what we got from every single contract we signaled.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CCTC, EBIO, Options & More


Potential Momentum Plays

Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. CCTC – In a characteristic move, CCTC repeated the history of its own chart, as a stock that seemingly likes to make volatile swings to the upside. It breached its 50DMA in a bullish manner yesterday, so we are going to tag it for observation today in the event of continued momentum.

The chart is showing a series of ripening indicators as well. In order to hold our attention, CCTC will need to maintain support at or above that 50DMA, currently at .153 on any pullbacks.


______

Eleven BioTherapeutics, Inc. EBIO – EBIO is a stock we’ve come back to on several occasions in the past, and today, we want to circle around to point out its current status as a bottom-bouncing momentum play.

It hit four-month lows just five sessions ago, and has made a decent effort at a rebound since then, so we’ll keep it on watch for the possibility of further recovery.

Options Ideas

We’ve got a couple of earnings-related options ideas this morning as well. As our regular readers are surely aware, post-earnings options trading is one of our favorite and most reliable ways of rooting out rapid short term gain opportunities.

Shake Shack, Inc. SHAK – Weekly $35.50-37 Calls

Macy’s, Inc. M – Weekly $38-41 Calls

______

Reminder: We’re also still tracking our idea on Starbucks from last Friday, the SBUX Weekly $53.50-55 Calls. The stock has traded up to nearly $55 in the premarket today, so we’ll be open to the possibility of seeing our gains extended there.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: WOLV Video Chart, Options & More

Wolverine Technologies Corp. WOLV

We want to place WOLV on watch this morning for a couple of reasons. Apart from coming off of a recent support level and showing some bottom-bounce activity, we also like the involvement of David Chalk, formerly of the TV show, Tech Talk with David Chalk.

David recently signed a purchase agreement with the company, with plans for him to come on board as a tech consultant once the transaction is completed, so someone of his notoriety putting skin in the game on WOLV definitely gets our attention. And, as we said, the stock is also interesting from a technical standpoint.

View the following video presentation of the chart going over what makes WOLV an attractive play at the moment:


Solid Picks From Yesterday

We had a couple of the stock ideas from yesterday morning’s premarket report pan out for some good intraday moves:

Worlds, Inc. WDDD – Trading Range: .017-.029 – Gain: 71%

MarilynJean Interactive, Inc. MJMI – Trading Range: .205-.255 – Gain: 24%

Added Note: We’ve been tracking Intermolecular, Inc. IMI since Wednesday and it has made small increases, reaching higher highs each day. We want to continue to watch this multi-day mover.

Macy’s Inc. M – Options Update
