Blue Horseshoe Stocks: GBSN Review, Options Update & More


SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) – Options Recap

Our first options idea of this short week turned out to be a rousing success by all accounts. We noted the change in the tides regarding a general market rebound aided by a healthy surge for oil, and proposed a range of weekly contracts in the SPY to help us leverage some gain opportunities out of those conditions. We signaled our interest in the SPY Weekly $188-191 Calls and were met with some very good chances as the SPY itself steadily pushed from 187.63 to 189.81, closing very close to that high mark.

As a result, all eight of our observed contracts enjoyed significant surges. We’ll simply provide a range of the possible gains in the interest of time. The $188 Calls traded up from 1.64-2.65  for gains of up to 72% while at the other end of the spectrum, the $191’s ran 123% from .39-.87. Again- commensurate gains were available anywhere in that $188-191 Range. 

This morning it appears as if those figures will be extended as the SPY once again gaps up in the premarket, having already breached into the $190’s; we’ll be on the lookout for a possible dip-and-rip.  Another boost for the markets today would mark the first three-day rally of 2016.

Great Basin Scientific, Inc. GBSN

We had been passively monitoring GBSN for a bottom for quite some time when we finally decided to make mention of it in our morning report yesterday. The stock was in an overall downtrend for many months leading up to its all-time low which was recorded just last month.

We seem to have brought GBSN back into the fold at a very opportune moment, as yesterday marked one the stock’s largest single-session gains of the year so far. From its morning low of .1951, we watched as it shot to a daily high of .2698 which hashes out to a healthy intraday day pop of 38% on double its 3-month average volume.

Ideally we’d like to see GBSN maintain support above yesterday’s swing low while attempting to test the key area of current resistance at a previous swing high of .33.

Rockwell Medical, Inc. RMTI 

Another notable mover from yesterday’s session is RMTI, which managed a strong push over the first couple hours of trading. The stock traded from a daily low of 6.90 on up to 8.63 on approximately four times its 3-month average volume, which represented a respectable 25% move up.

We’ll continue to keep an eye on RMTI moving forward, especially in light of the interesting PR to hit wires this morning alluding to a potentially lucrative agreement that puts the company in line to market its treatment for end-stage renal and chronic kidney diseases in China.

Other Notable Gainers

Provision Holding, Inc. PVHO

We tagged PVHO for observation in our report dated a week ago today, meaning it took just four sessions for this idea to yield a great opportunity for a lucrative swing-trade. We observed a low of .084 subsequent to that alert and the stock hasn’t looked back since. It has set higher highs in each ensuing session, culminating in yesterday’s high of .18. That marked a move of 114% so cheers to anyone who was along for the ride!

Horsehead Holding Corp. ZINC(Q)

We introduced ZINCQ as ZINC a couple of weeks ago before the Q was appended, and despite the bankruptcy status, we’ve seen quite the move out of the stock.

We showed up slightly early to the party, introducing it as a bottom-watch play on the first of this month, but that just ensured that we had a chance to position ourselves before the fun began. Our observed low subsequent to that initial alert was .06 just a couple days hence, and that eventually gave way to yesterday’s impressive new high of .335, which marks an epic 458% run.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: GROC, GDSI Recaps & More


Great Rock Development Co. GROC

During an uncertain time where others have been reticent to pull their heads out of the sand, we continue to stand and deliver. Jumping off of the page in Friday’s report was GROC which made a few appreciable swings on the day.

Following a solid 46% initial run from the .0085 low up to .0124, the stock came down to bounce off of the .0098 mark, and returned to .0115 (+17%). That preceded one final pullback to .009 before GROC ripped back to .012 (+33%) and brought the stocks cumulative intraday gain total to 96%

We had originally alerted the stock on Wednesday morning, and witnessed a low of .0055. From that mark, we’ve seen an overall move of 125% over a span of just three sessions from GROC.

Global Digital Solutions, Inc. GDSI

Another great call for us was GDSI, which had a heck of a solid session after being mentioned in Friday’s premarket report. We outlined the fact that it had just come off of a new 52-week low and it turned into another successful bottom-play.

From its low of .0016 which it recorded shortly before the lunch hour, the stock ran with strength into the close, ending the session at its high-of-day at .0025. That move was good for intraday gains of up to 56%, so cheers to any of our readers who were able to bag a nice profit.

We’ll have an eye peeled for GDSI again this morning, as is generally the case in a session following such a strong closing performance.

UVXY and VXX Options Recap

Our main point of focus on Friday was using the activity of the overall markets to leverage ourselves some nice opportunities with Weekly VXX $22.50-25.50 Calls and UVXY $48-52.50 Calls.

It wouldn’t have mattered which symbol, or which strike price in our target ranges at which traders chose to execute, because every single contract we specified provided a chance for a windfall.

The biggest gain opportunities in each set were the VXX $24.50’s which exploded on a 900% rip from .05-.50, and the UVXY $51.50’s which traded in a range from .52-2.70 for total possible intraday gains of up to 419%

AEterna Zentaris, Inc. AEZS

It’s been a few months since we last looked at AEZS, and we’re going to place it back on watch to kick off this new trading week, as the stock made an undoubtedly strong move on Friday, and closed at its high of day. That quilifies AEZS as a possible momentum play.

These present the opportunity both to ride any residual momentum, as well as position ourselves to strike on a dip-and-rip scenario, which often show their faces in situations such as this. So we’ll keep our heads on a swivel in monitoring AEZS moving forward.

Plug Power, Inc. PLUG

PLUG is an old-time favorite of ours that has made us enormous gains in the past. It’s been awhile since we lasted touched upon this one, as we were waiting for it to provide a solid signal that it was coming off of yearly lows, and over the past few sessions we’ve begun to see that.

PLUG has registered higher highs and higher lows for the past four consecutive sessions, so we’ll be monitoring the stock this week for continued progress on that front. As you can see on the included chart snapshot below, we have a RSI just cracking above the 50-line showing relative strength, and the MACD is looking quite bullish as well. There is a slight gap to fill on the chart around the 2.00-mark, and the next key resistance we’ll look to be broken will be the 50DMA of 2.13.

VHGI, Form-4 Scan & Extended Watchlist

 VHGI is an old time favorite of ours (we’ve followed this play since back in 2011) that has crept back into focus. As we encourage our readers to do on a regular basis, we received some correspondence from a subscriber who wanted to be sure that we had noticed yesterday’s 8-K submission by the company.The report states that VHGI has obtained roughly $65 Million in new funding.

The chart is exhibiting some promising conditions as well, having made higher lows for the past four sessions. We’ve pointed to a couple other key indicators that would seem to suggest that it is a good time to begin monitoring VHGI more closely.

Form-4 Scan Vol.II
Most of you will recall our last Form-4 (Insider Trading) Scan back in May which yielded some pretty impressive results. It was that scan that first caused us to become familiarized with stocks such as CETV, and ETRM, which would each go on to produce gains of 30% or more.

We thought it was time for another round of checking for insider buying activity, which can often be a good indicator of the level of confidence an officer has in the future value of his/her company.

We are going to add these to the pool of stocks we are tracking, and see if they fare as well as our last batch of Form-4 plays.
