Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PBR Updates & More

Options Updates

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR

Yesterday morning, we let our readers know we expected more gains out of the PBR options we posted for tracking on Tuesday (PBR 04/01 $4 Calls), and we also provided a couple of weekly contracts to watch as well ($4’s and 4.50’s). As the stock continued its impressive rise, all of those ideas proved to be top-notch.

The 04/01 $4 Calls pushed their upper limit to a high of .89, which from our observed low of .13, marked a three-day swing of 585% as PBR traded up from 3.55 to 4.86.

The $4 and 4.50 Weekly Calls. also enjoyed big surges as well, as the $4’s traded in a range from .19-.80 (+321%), and the $4.50’s absolutely blew their lids, running from .02-.36; an incredible single-session run of 1700%

With PBR having gapped up to reach a high of 5.50 in the premarket this morning, we expect the values on all contracts mentioned to open up considerably higher once again, extending the total gains we’ve seen in the latter half of this week. We’ll also be monitoring $4.50-5.50 Calls today, doing so with extreme caution, which must be exercised by anyone attempting to trade weekly contracts on Friday.

We also continued our coverage of the ANF Weekly $29-32 Calls in yesterday’s morning report, and the majority of those provided noteworthy intraday opportunities, despite having just delivered gains ranging from 200-386% during the previous session.

The single-session increases on some of those contracts managed to shoot even higher than they did on Wednesday!

$29 Calls – Trading Range: .96-2.20  – Max Gain: 129%
$29.50 Calls – Trading Range: .50-1.73 – Max Gain: 246%
$30 Calls – Trading Range: .30-1.32 – Max Gain: 340%
$30.50 Calls – Trading Range:   .26-.82 – Max Gain: 215%

Rejuvel Bio-Sciences, Inc. NUUU

The options plays weren’t the only calls from yesterday morning’s premarket report to post serious intraday moves on the day. We’ve been tracking NUUU for a couple of weeks now, and the decision to include it in our watchlist yesterday was a great one.

After dipping to a daily low of .0026, the stock enjoyed a healthy surge to a .0065 high-of-day, representing a move of 150% Cheers to those of our readers who were able to catch that timely alert!

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR

We also want to give a quick update on another extended-term idea we had recently. On Tuesday, we submitted PBR 04/01 $4 Calls for observation, and those have made a run from .13-.25 (+92%) as PBR has traded up from 3.55 to 4.13.

We expect the figures on those gains to keep rising today as PBR has advanced as high as 4.39 thus far in the premarket. We’ll be sure to stay on the trail of those contracts, with nearly a month left on the contracts before expiration. We’ll also keep an eye on the $4 and 4.50 Weekly Calls. Of course, we’ll look to roll our strike prices up if the situation dictates.



Aeterna Zentaris, Inc. AEZS

AEZS is a familiar play that we’d like to touch base with again this morning after noticing some interesting chart activity. The stock broke its 50DMA during yesterday’s trading session and is presently trending up in the premarket, testing resistance in the $4-area. The next area of resistance comes in at 5.18, where a gap on the chart begins, and extends up to the 6.50 level.

We’ve prepared a snapshot below which outlines the highlights of the current AEZS chart.



EffTec International, Inc. EFFI

EFFI is another recent mention we’d like to update our readers on this morning. After signaling EFFI in our watchlist on Friday, the stock has gone on to make a solid move. We observed a low of .0024 followed by a high of .0049, which works out to a 104% swing.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPY Review & More

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

We continued to track our successful options idea from earlier in the week yesterday morning, as the SPY Weekly $188-191 Calls once again provided ammunition for some serious gains. Despite already having moved up considerably, we mentioned our expectations that those figures would be pushed higher and indeed they were.

As we did yesterday to save time, we’ll just outline the gains made by the bookend contracts of our observed range; similar gains would have been up for grabs in any of the contracts within. The $188 Calls extended their new high to 5.35, which represents a 226% overall move, and the $191’s  pushed to 2.68- a gain of 587% over Tuesday’s low.

In addition to tracking our initial idea, our trader’s chat participants* were offered a followup idea prior to the bell yesterday that yielded big-time profit chances as well. As you can see from the screen capture below, we mentioned the possibility of rolling strike prices up to the $189.50-193.50 range, and all of those contracts were winners as well.

To give an idea of the gains available in that range, the $189.50’s made a move from 2.14-3.99 (+86%), while at the upper end, the $193.50 Calls made a 326% rip from .23-.98. All in all, there was no way to go wrong with any of our SPY Calls as the overall markets solidified their first three-day rally of 2016.

Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. CPRX

We’ve spotted what could turn out to be a solid rebound play in CPRX this morning. On the heels of the company’s announcement that the FDA had served it with a letter of refusal pertaining to a recent NDA filing, the stock absolutely tanked.

The caveat is, the notice came with assurance that it was not related to the clinical data or perceived efficacy of the drug in question, but a filing error only. This means that the stock lost a good portion of its value in a single day for what seems to amount to nothing more than a clerical error (see chart below). We’ll be very interested to monitor the stock in coming sessions and observe its reaction.
