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: AAPL Recap, MDCN News & More

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options Recap

To start things off this week we want to look back to Friday’s report wherein we suggested that $131 and $132 Weekly Calls would be in play for possible daytrading opportunities, and our assertion was spot-on. The trading range on the $131 Calls was from .63-1.98, which was an overall spike of 214%, while the $132’s jumped from .14 to 1.00; a total increase of 614%

Those ranges, while extremely impressive, only reflect a fraction of the total possible gains for folks with daytrading ability. As you can see on the following chart snapshots of Friday’s intraday activity, these AAPL Calls were both what we commonly refer to as a “Flipper’s Dream”. Not one, but three big swings could have provided major ammunition for top-shelf profits.

Medican Enterprises, Inc. MDCN

MDCN is a marijuana-related stock that we’ve tracked in the past that has cropped up with a noteworthy PR this morning that we think our readers ought to check out.

Additionally, following a huge a huge run in late March, the stock has been under serious consolidation so it also qualifies as a potential bottom play as well. This will definitely be one to keep on our radars this week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SITO News & More

SITO Mobile Ltd.  SITO

Popping up on our scanner this morning is SITO, which, per a premarket PR (excerpt below) released this morning, has entered into an asset purchase agreement with Hipcricket (HIPP).

Upon approval, this deal will create in SITO, one of the largest mobile ad/marketing firms in the industry. This also comes in the wake of what has apparently been a good year for the company. According to SITO’s CEO, 2014 was “a transformative year… which included 27% year-over-year revenue growth”.

These are all reasons why the fact that we’re catching SITO coming off of its 52-low could carry some potentially exciting opportunities on the chart. We’ll have our eyes peeled for further updates on the progress of the deal as we tag SITO for monitoring in the days and weeks ahead.

Medican Enterprises, Inc. MDCN

Speaking of plays coming up off of their annual lows, MDCN represented a feat of perfect timing for us yesterday. We noted that the stock had reached its lowest point of the past year on Thursday, and the rebound offered up the chance at a 57% intraday move to kick off yesterday’s trading session.

Beginning from an early low of .023, the stock surged as high as .036 around 11am, with the bulk of the day’s volume (which exceeded the monthly average by threefold) having traded in that time frame.

Congrats go out to any of our readers who were able to reap a profit off of that excellently-timed call of MDCN!

We’re interested to follow the main MDCN storyline, being the recently announced purchase of a 7200sq.ft. commercial facility and dispensary in Phoenix, AZ. We’ll be certain to relay any developments as they come down the pipe.


Netflix, Inc. NFLX – Options Ideas

NFLX continues to surge on yesterday’s after-hours earnings beat in this morning’s premarket activity, and it sets us up nicely for a possible play on some options calls.

What we’d expect to see is some early profit-taking, causing a classic dip-and-rip, and thereafter we’ll be looking to take advantage. Provided the stock holds support above today’s premarket low of 394.80 we’ll be paying close attention to the  $395-410 Calls for possible intraday/intraweek flip opportunities.

Side Note: GPRO is also bouncing off a recent bottom, and has our attention as a solid recovery play, therefore we will want to radar call options there as well.
