Blue Horseshoe Stocks: DRMC Review & More

Definitive Rest Mattress Co. DRMC

To start things off this morning we wanted to provide an update on DRMC, which made an excellent intraday move to start the session yesterday.

When last we looked in on DRMC at the end of the short week on Thursday, we had just observed a decent 35% intraday run in the prior session, and left our readers with a closing thought that would end up serving us well. We noted that the stock had been trading relatively thinly as a general rule, and that “a pickup in buying pressure could really send DRMC for a ride, so we’ll keep watch for that, and for the stock to continue maintaining support above the 50DMA”

It’s a good thing that we did keep watch, because the stock would both maintain above the 50DMA (.002), and see the necessary surge in volume to make its mark. Starting out from a morning low of .0037, DRMC bulled its way up to a high of .0079 in roughly the first 45 minutes of trading. That worked out to an incredible single session rip totaling 113%  From our observed low on Tuesday (.0022), yesterday’s high registered as a two-session swing of 259%

The excellent spike in volume came in conjunction with the company’s announcement that it was adding Carbon Fiber to its list of manufacturing technologies, as well as launching its new website. >>View PR

Regen BioPharma, Inc. RGBP

RGBP is hitting our scanner this morning for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the company released a positive PR regarding one of its new drug candidates, HemaXellerate. The results of an animal study conducted at the behest of the FDA proved promising with regard to the treatment’s path to approval for clinical trials.

Secondly, RGBP represents a potential opportunity as a play trading near a recent relative bottom. We’re going to look for RGBP to record higher highs and higher lows. and hold support above Tuesday’s swing low of .12 in order for us to remain interested.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ESPR Options, MVIS Recaps & More


Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. ESPR

ESPR found new highs once again yesterday for the second straight session after we initially tagged it for options trading potential on Tuesday.

In addition to monitoring Weekly In-the-money Calls, which yielded up the opportunity at gains ranging from 400-1400% on Tuesday, and continued their own runs yesterday, we also had specified a longer-term idea that continued to work extraordinarily well.

That idea, the 04/17 $90 Calls, traded from a low of 11.60 all the way up to 21.90 yesterday. It represented an excellent single-session intraday increase of 89%, and a whopping 525% jump over our observed low from Tuesday (3.50).

Big congratulations go out to any of our readers who reaped the benefits ESPR, which has easily emerged as our top target of the week! The stock is gapping up in the premarket this morning, so it appears as if we could see a further extension of those gains.

Microvision, Inc. MVIS

On Monday we tagged MVIS in a gap-up watchlist, and it has found its way into every one of our reports this week, setting new highs each day.

Yesterday the stock traded in a range from 3.42-4.23, a healthy intraday move of 24% From our observed low of 2.88 on Monday, that high marked a rise of 47% overall.

As you can see below, given the extremely over-bought look of the chart, now might be a good time to lock in any profits gained over the course of the week. This major move has been fueled by a PR out Monday in which the company announced orders totaling more than $14M it had received for components of its patented PicoP® display technology >> VIEW PR

Side Note:

Yesterday in advance of the FOMC Meeting, we cautioned readers to stay alert and watch for the effect that Janet Yellen’s commentary would have on the markets. To take advantage of this expected surge in either direction, we mentioned trading options calls on either the SPY, if the markets went up, or UVXY and/or VIX if they slid back.  Either way it played out, we said, we wanted “to stay in-the-money with our strike prices.”

As it turned out, the Fed announcement caused a sharp rise in the markets, and as a result the SPY Calls were the ones to play. We saw substantial gains on in-the-money Calls as the SPY spiked to $211.27.

For example, the SPY $209.50 Calls traded in a range from .80-2.00, for an intraday move totaling 150%  $210 Calls also spiked heavily from a low of .40 to as much as 1.59, a huge 297% jump.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: NQ Review & More

NQ Mobile, Inc.  NQ

Our coverage of NQ stretches all the way back to the Fall of 2013 when the stock made a huge run, and we tracked it to a similar albeit smaller-scale spike in October, so we are quite familiar with this play. We have good reason to re-assess NQ this morning in the wake of an interesting PR, coupled with a good positioning of the chart.

In terms of the NQ chart, there a couple of finer points that we’ll point out on the following snapshot:

This morning’s PR relates to a big open market stock repurchase by management which seems to be fueling NQ in the premarket. >>> VIEW PR  


Cannabis Coverage:

A few of the marijuana-related stocks we were mentioning yesterday morning managed to put up some solid numbers over the course of the day.

CBIS traded in a range from .068-.08 (+17%) on roughly 4X its monthly average volume.

MCIG did slightly better as recorded a 19% move from .15 to .178, trading more than twice its average volume.

EAPH also had a heavy volume day to the tune of roughly 3X its average, and made a healthy jump of 21% as it traded from its open at .024 to a high of .029.

As medical and recreational marijuana acceptance continues to spread, we’ll need to keep a close eye on these and many other cannabis plays, as we tend to believe that growth in this arena will be more substantial in 2015 than any previous year.

A few other pot plays to watch this week: WDHR, NRTI, MDCN, LATF, VPOR
