Blue Horseshoe Stocks: New Options Idea & More

Acacia Research Corp. ACTG

Pretty much the entirety of 2017 has been some tough sledding for ACTG, which was in an overall downtrend since last winter when it was trading at more than twice its current value.

That all seemed to change around midway through last month, as the stock has managed to establish a good rebound effort for several sessions. In the premarket the stock has broken previous resistance which coincided with the 50DMA (3.63) and could make a move to fill that gao we’ve pointed out on the chart below.

We’ll put the stock on watch in the days and weeks ahead as we kick off this holiday-shortened trading week.


Insmed, Inc. INSM

After posting key data reflecting positive top-line results in its Phase III lung disease treatment study, INSM has exploded into the blue sky this morning. The stock has rapidly gained more than twice its value in premarket trading, and whenever we come across a situation like this, we begin to look for the options contracts that could give us the best opportunity for rapid gains.

We think that the INSM 09/15 $27-30 Calls could stand to see some nice activity if the stock continues the blue-sky breakout we’ve witnessed so far.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MXSG Review & More

Mexus Gold US (MXSG)

Our first order of business this morning is to give a rundown of the recent performance of MXSG, which has made one heck of a run in the time we’ve been tracking it.

We initially placed this gold play on watch last February 5th when it was trading at .0016 , and the stock, quite incredibly has put together a roughly 10-month uptrend.

Some of the biggest strides have come recently, despite gold prices cratering to their lowest values in that same 10 month period of late. That didn’t stop MXSG from running to a new high of .235 yesterday, which marks a mind-numbing 14,587% increase over the low we observed on the very first time we mentioned the stock in February.

That definitely makes MXSG one of our biggest success stories of 2016, and that includes options trading! Congratulations to anyone who has taken part in such an incredible ride!


IFAN Financial, Inc. IFAN

IFAN is another play we’ve been tracking that has also made big moves for us. When we first brought it to the table on October 24th, it broke out for excellent gains on the order of nearly 400% as it ran from .0031-.0154.

Yesterday, the stock went for a double-bagger, trading in a daily range from .0016-.0033 (+106%). It will interesting to see if it can carry some of its generated momentum of the past couple of sessions into further price surges. Another run at the penny mark from this point would factor in potential gains of up to 200%


GoDaddy, Inc. GDDY

GoDaddy is moving in the wake of news that the company would be attempting to boost its web hosting business with the acquisition of Host Europe in a $1.82B deal (>>View PR).

While the stock is at a good place on the chart, and receiving some attention, we’re going to radar some options to monitor over the next several weeks, in the GDDY 01/20 $35-36 Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: BOTY Recap & More

Lingerie Fighting Championships, Inc. BOTY

We placed BOTY on watch on Friday after noticing that the stock had begun to launch off of its bottom, posting unusual activity the session prior. It was a good thing that we tagged it when we did, because Friday brought an even more considerable surge to the updside.

BOTY traded in a range from a low of .0056, cracking through the penny barrier, and reaching as high as .015. That was good for intraday gains of up to 168% and the excellent move came on volume of nearly six times the monthly average.

As the company name suggests, BOTY’s business is an actual women’s MMA league where the combatants wear lingerie instead of athletic wear. Being something so unique and potentially lucrative, it adds to our interest in continuing to track this play.


Solaris Power Cells, Inc. SPCL

SPCL is another one we want to provide an update on this morning. We initially witnessed a fantastic run from .0075 to .02 on this play when we called it back on 11/18, and after a period of consolidation in the following weeks, we observed the beginning of the stock’s next leg up on Friday.

SPCL traded in a daily range from a new low of .0041 and promptly returned to .02. That’s a big-time swing of 387%


Bridgegate Pictures Corp. BBGP

The run that BBGP made between the months of August and November this year was excellent, moving from the .20-range to more than 2.70. A recent dramatic selloff slapped the stock back down to the .20-level and just below, before the current bottom-bounce commenced.

We’re interested in tracking BBGP from this juncture in the event that the momentum we’re seeing gathered off of those lows should continue into this new trading week.


Insulet Corp. PODD – Options Idea

We’ve formulated an options trading idea for PODD, after noticing a few things about the stock. First, it’s in a good place on the chart, having exhibited the beginning sign of a bottom-bounce on Friday, reversing a downtrend that had persisted for over a week.

Next, we caught a Form-4 submission showing a significant buy by the CEO, in the amount of roughly $1.3M at the stock’s lows. Whenever we see directors of a company adding shares at relative lows, it piques our interest.

Accordingly, we are going to radar a set of contracts to watch in sessions to come, namely the PODD 01/20 $35 Calls.
