Blue Horseshoe Stocks: APTY Recap & More

APT Systems, Inc. APTY

We reasserted our interest in APTY in yesterday’s morning report, after initially mentioning the stock on Friday prior to its respectable run of 38% that day from .0032 to .0044.

We were right to do so, as the stock opened up the new trading week with a bang. Maintaining support on a slight early morning dip at Friday’s swing high of .0044, the stock spent the remainder of the session on a steady uptrend.

Ultimately we witnessed a surge to a new high of .0069, which marked an intraday surge of 57%, and from our observed low of .0032 on Friday, it represents a two-day overall upswing of 116%

We’ll continue to have an eye peeled here, and APTY can sustain our interest by maintaining support at or above .0056 on any pullbacks.

Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc. NWBO

We also want to make a quick note of NWBO, which we tagged in yesterday’s report as well, and will want to keep it on our radars moving forward for signs of further upward movement.

The move we observed was relatively modest, an intraday jump of 28% from .5018-.64, but more importantly, the stock carried over the momentum from the previous session, and we’re going to be on the lookout for that to continue. We’ll have a spot reserved on our tracker for NWBO as long as it continues to register these higher highs and higher lows.

Bottom-Watchlist

In lieu of our typical ‘Extended Watchlist’, today we’re just going to go with a bottom-watchlist. The following plays are trading near recent relative lows, and qualify for oversold status.

MGT Capital Investments, Inc. MGT – We’ll have MGT on a passive watch, as it seems like it could have a little farther to fall before making a rebound. We’ll look for it to ultimately find support and make a reversal at or above the current 200DMA of 1.58.

The company has just been denied the issuance of 43.8M shares by the NYSE regulatory office that are needed to close MGT’s acquisition of D-Vasive. The eventual rebound may possibly coincide with the resolution of this temporary roadblock.  (>>View PR)
______

ACRE Realty LP (AIII) – As a result of trepidation over interest rate hike speculation, Real Estate Investment Trusts like AIII have been taking a pounding. As the aforementioned play, there could still be some room to the downside, so we’ll have to keep a careful watch for a bottom over the next few sessions.
______

NovaVax, Inc. NVAX –  We also want to provide an update on another bottom-play we brought to the table yesterday morning. We noticed a mega gap-down on the chart as the stock fell from the $8-range to the $1-range on Friday, and to start out the week, NVAX did manage to record higher highs and higher lows, although there has been no major PPS increase just yet. We’ll continue to monitor for a more significant rebound off of its recent bottom.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Bottom-Plays, Options & More

Novavax, Inc. NVAX

Our first item of interest this morning is going to be NVAX. This play set off our alarms on Friday when the stock was downgraded on the heels of ill-received trial data on the company’s RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) vaccine.

Whenever we see knee-jerk reactions take place, and Friday’s backslide of more than 80% certainly qualifies in that category, we like to place the battered stocks on watch for the subsequent recoveries that occur as often as not.

With the monster gap that Friday’s activity left on the chart (1.20’s to 8.10’s), it will be very interesting to see how the stock responds as we kick off a fresh trading week. Prior to that it had been on a fairly steady four month uptrend that almost reached the 100%-mark. All these factors playing in at once are plenty enough to reserve a slot for NVAX on our radars in coming sessions.

Netflix, Inc. NFLX – Options Idea

We’ve tracked NFLX options to great success on multiple occasion in the past, and today seems like a good time to take another run at it. Along with being on the uptrend for the past six or seven weeks, the stock breached its 200DMA in a bullish manner on Friday, a signal that further advances could be in the cards this week. NFLX is gapping up slightly in the premarket this morning.

In accordance, we want to have an options idea ready and waiting to take advantage should a continued surge be in the cards. The targets we want to zero in on are the NFLX Weekly $99.50-101 Calls for potential swing trades.


APT Systems, Inc. APTY

We alerted our readers to a PR put out by APTY on Friday alluding to the planned purchase of shares out of the open market by the company’s CEO. That coincided with a reasonable amount of momentum that the stock had carried into that session from the one prior.

We mentioned that we liked the chances of the stock seeing some further increases for Friday’s session, and we weren’t disappointed on that front. APTY traded in a solid range from .0032 to .0044, a respectable intraday gain totaling 38%

We’ll remain interested in this play provided it can maintain support above Friday’s swing-low of .0032.

Extended Watchlist:
USLV, CFRX, NWBO, AKBA, ETRM, PTIE

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MXSG, ABRW Recaps, Options & More

Mexus Gold US  MXSG

MXSG was the first of a pair of extended watchlist plays from yesterday’s morning report to produce an appreciable intraday move that could’ve been used for healthy single-session gains.

From its opening price of .045 the stock spent the entire morning on a steady uptrend that carried it to a high of .0699 shortly after 12pm. That was good for a daily profit of up to 55%  We next observed a dip-and-rip pattern in afternoon trading wherein the stock came down to find support at .0481 before launching back to the closing PPS of .0615; an added swing of 28%

Those moves came on more than quadruple the 30-day average trading volume and with a strong close, we’ll be sure to leave MXSG on our track-list in coming sessions.

We actually called this play back on February 5th at which time the stock was trading at  .0016. Yesterday’s high represented an unreal 3744% increase in roughly three-and-a-half months over that low!

American Brewing Co. Inc.  ABRW

The other significant runner that showed itself yesterday was ABRW. This was one that was also good for a quick rip right from the opening bell.

We witnessed an immediate spike from .98 up to 1.51, which represents a rip of 54% While the stock did trade mostly sideways for the remainder of the session, it managed to close at 1.35, maintaining well over half of its daily advance. That qualifies this play for continued observation as well.

Fresh Options Ideas

For the first time this week, we’re going to submit a couple of fresh plays on the options trading front.

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) – The SPY has been a go-to for us when we want a chance to leverage overall market sentiment to our advantage. With strong performance from the markets as a whole, as well as cracking its 50DMA yesterday for the first time in several sessions, our highlighted range here is going to be SPY Weekly $208-210 Calls.

Apple, Inc. AAPL – It has been quite some time since we formulated any options ideas for AAPL, but it is one that has produced winners for us on a multitude of occasions in the past. The stock has been rebounding and showing strength over the past couple of sessions. Couple that with, as we just said, an overall bullishness in the general tone of the markets at large, and it makes AAPL an attractive target for us today, and into the near future. We’re going to zero in on AAPL Weekly $98-99 Calls for possible quick-strike opportunities, as well as AAPL 07/17 $101 Calls for a more of an extended-term idea.

Bonus Idea: CSC 06/17 $44-48 Calls
