Blue Horseshoe Stocks: IZEA, ITUS Recaps & More

ITUS Corp. ITUS 

We included a tag of ITUS in this past Thursday’s premarket report, after noticing the stock’s liquidity and price action increasing in a big way in the sessions leading up to that.

Despite already seeing big moves to that point, it was just the start for the excellent run made by this stock in the last three sessions. We observed a low of 1.92 in ITUS on Thursday, and yesterday the stock reached a new high of 4.30. That represents a three-day swing of 124%

Volume over the same period has been vastly greater than average. The whole trend was catalyzed when the company updated shareholders on its cancer detection technology, on the morning of our initial alert.


Helios and Matheson Analytics, Inc. HMNY

We’ve been tracking HMNY since  August 15th, where-after we witnessed a low of 2.42.
We were just mentioning this, and the fantastic multi-bag moves the stock has made since, in yesterday’s premarket report. We also mentioned that based on the previous close, that we’d “look for the continued establishment of higher highs and higher lows.”

Despite already having gone up so much in the course of the last five weeks, the stock’s excellent performance yesterday did push it to new highs yet again. In fact, it streaked all the way to 9.65, representing an overall move of 299% since we began tracking its activity.


IZEA, Inc. IZEA

We also want to reiterate our signal on IZEA yesterday, which made a move of 40% in trading up from its morning low of 4.54 to a high of 6.35. It was a respectable gain, but this morning the stock is gapping up and pushing the $7-mark, so we’ll jeep our eyes peeled for the possibility of a more sustained uptrend.


Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options Idea

With the hint of a reversal and rebound after a rapid weeks-long selloff in AAPL, combined with a premarket gap-up this morning, we’d like to signal a range of AAPL calls to coincide with the activity and possibly help us find some quick-strike trade opportunities. We’ll radar the AAPL Weekly $150-155 Calls to try to do just that.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: More New Highs for OCRX, Updates

Ocera Therapeutics, Inc. OCRX

We caught OCRX coming up off its bottom and included it in Wednesday’s morning report. That day the stock ran from .77 to 1.15 (+49%) on massive volume.

We mentioned as much in yesterday’s premarket report, highlighting the strong close, and noting that “another bullish session could be forthcoming” provided the stock didn’t dip below 1.10 on any pullbacks. We got just what we were looking for; another bullish session as the stock traded up from 1.24 to 1.94, an intraday increase of 56%

It registers as a two-day swing of 152% over our observed low from Wednesday, and we’re going to want to be on the lookout for the stock to have a strong close to the week as well. It closed at 1.89, just under the high of day, once again with huge volume on the order of sixteen times the monthly average.



Caterpillar, Inc. CAT – Options Update

Our regular readers will recall our options idea on Caterpillar that we offered up in our report from last Friday morning. We were tracking the stock over a significant backslide in the sessions leading up to that and felt it had further to fall, so we highlighted the CAT 04/07 $88-85 Puts, choosing an extended expiration date to give our idea time to mature.

Since then, it has worked like a charm, with our identified contracts each making triple-digit percentage gains as CAT stock continues to fall:

$88 Calls – Range: .50-1.36 – Max Gain: 172%
$87.50 Calls – Range: .51-1.22 – Max Gain: 139%
$85 Calls – Range: .27-.74 – Max Gain: 208%



Bottom-Bounce Watchlist

Catabasis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. CATB – We’re interested to follow CATB, which we noticed is coming up off its bottom and gapping up in the premarket this morning. Even at its early high of 1.79, there’s still a sizable portion of the monster gap we pointed out below left to fill.

Pareteum Corp. TEUM – In the case of TEUM, it began to show hints of a reversal yesterday after several bearish sessions, and it too is gapping up in premarket trading today. We’ll keep an eye on this one as well.

CCTL, MYSZ, PRKR, SRRA, DCTH

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TXHD, AUPH Recaps & More

Textmunication Holdings, Inc. TXHD

We included TXHD in yesterday’s extended watchlist after picking it up on a routine premarket volume scan, and we ended up being extremely happy we did so, with the stock making the top gains out of anything else we mentioned for the day.

Right from the opening bell, it blasted off from a low of .0042 and rocketed to a high of .0094, giving nimble traders the chance at intraday gains of up to 124%

TXHD closed at .0075 having traded massive volume, maintaining a good portion of the ground it gained during the day, so we’ll be eager to continue tracking its movements.


InterCloud Systems, Inc. ICLD

We remained hot on the trail of ICLD after issuing reminders in our reports  on Thursday and Fridays that it had begun to rebound off of its 52-week lows.

Thursday we had witnessed a low of .0157, and in yesterday’s newsletter we commented on the rapidly rising RSI and strong close, and sure enough, the stock continued its solid run-up on the chart.

ICLD traded in a range from .0221 to .0324, a 47% intraday boost, and an overall increase of 106% over our observed low from three sessions prior.


Aurinia Pharmceuticals, Inc. AUPH

The last time we put a tag on AUPH was at the end of January, and at the time, the stock was trading around $3, briefly touching a low of 2.95.

What occurred during the month of February was a slow and steady increase peaking at just under $4, but as we’ve come into March, the PPS has been ramping up much more intensely.

Yesterday, AUPH broke out to a new high of 7.32, which marks an overall upswing of 148% in the span of roughly five weeks.


Bottom-Watchers

Both Function(x) Inc. FNCX and Ocera Therapeutics, Inc. OCRX are going to be on our radars as potential rebound plays. FNCX has a excellent looking , ripening chart, and OCRX is gapping up off its own bottom this morning.

Each of these NASDAQ-listed stocks are required to work toward getting their share prices back above the 1.00 minimum standard, or face de-listing.
