Blue Horseshoe Stocks: NBEV Recap & More

New Age Beverages Inc. NBEV

Our first order of business this morning is to rehash the performance of NBEV this week, subsequent to our initial alert on the play on Tuesday morning. It was enough of a heads-up to catch the stock at its weekly low of 1.53, which has given way to new highs after a pair of very strong outings.

Yesterday NBEV reached a new high of 2.40, which marks a two-session swing amounting to a respectable 57% We’ll be sure to continue to monitor the situation in the event that the stock parlays its strong start to the short week into an equally convincing finish.

Despite then closing below, the stock has been rebolstered in the premarket, having already traded back as high as yesterday’s peak at 2.40. If this stock can break through the channel of resistance between 2.40-2.58, we could see some more very interesting activity from this play.



Fresh Options Ideas:

We’ve got an earnings related options idea with GIII this morning, and are also taking note of the chart setups on FB and TWTR, which are presently exhibiting double bottom formations as they search for solid support. Each also has a gap to the upside, so we’re going to signal some extended term ideas to track.

GIII 09/21 $45 & 50
FB 10/12 $182.50-190 Calls
TWTR 10/12 $35-37.50 Calls

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Reviewing Big Runners

Gevo, Inc. GEVO

We threw GEVO into our extended watchlist on our website at BlueHorseshoeStocks.com yesterday morning, however, the tag did not make it into our email newsletters in time. Occasionally we will include last-minute ideas exclusive to the website, which is which we encourage our readers to check there each morning, even if they’ve already read our emails.

GEVO turned out to be the NASDAQ’s top traded stock of the day, posting an excellent single-session move from 4.42 to an impressive high of 21.00; a 375% rip.

This came on the heels of the EPA decision raising the amount of isobutanol in 16% gasoline blends, up from 12.5% This represents a significant margin of increase for the biofuel producer. With such a quick surge, we’ll also want to watch on the back end when the stock course corrects. There may also be a dip-and-rip opportunity on the horizon that we’ll be looking out for.


Canada Goose Holdings Inc. GOOS

We successfully tracked a host of GOOS weekly options calls on Friday morning, but today we wanted to return to comment on the solid move the stock itself has made since our alert.

From its low of 53.18 on Friday, GOOS has now made a very respectable two-session swing, reaching 63.30 yesterday. That’s a 25% increase, and for or a $50+ stock, a very nice two day performance.


Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. AMD

Speaking of great calls we’ve made on the stock side of things, we’ve been very successful with our coverage of AMD this spring. We initially tagged the stock in our watchlist on April 26th, and included a reminder on the 5th of this month, as the stock has posted a near-continual bull run in that time.

The day of our initial alert saw a low of 10.61 and never looked back, gradually leading to a new high of 17.34 yesterday. That works out to a rise of 64%
