Blue Horseshoe Stocks: KRFT Recap & More

Kraft Foods Group, Inc.  (KRFT)
–
In yesterday’s morning report we took note of the huge merger news concerning Kraft and Heinz, and stated our interest in using the resultant activity to our advantage. The dip-and-rip happened just as we predicted, and shortly after 10AM, it was off to the races for every single idea we put forth!

We mentioned our specific interest in KRFT April $75-85 Calls for intraday options trading possibilities, and were extremely pleased with the results.

The $75 Calls traded up from a low of 7.15 to hit a high of 12.30, an intraday gain of 72%  $80 Calls went on a monstrous run from 1.86-8.62, which equaled a 363% move, and the $85 Calls were the hottest ticket of all, running from a low of .30 all the way up to 4.72; a mega-rip of 1473%

It marked our second single-session, thousand-percent gainer in as many weeks, since we hit it big with ESPR Calls last Tuesday. We want to extend a hand of congratulations to anyone who was able to take advantage!

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR

Last year around this time, we were making a killing off of PBR. We had caught it coming off of 10-year lows, and it enjoyed an epic rally lasting a period of many months where we were able to pick off large gains on countless occasions. A quick tag search of our archives on the stock will demonstrate just how often it brought us chances to make winning trades.

The last several months have been rocky for the state-controlled oil giant, as oil prices had been in free-fall while company officials were simultaneously wrapped up in a scandal, and it led to the lowest prices for PBR since 2003.

There appears to have been a rebound on the 13th of this month, so we thought now might be a good time to put PBR on our radar once again. Oil prices have been rebounding as well, so we’ll venture a couple of options ideas to keep an eye on moving forward.

We’re going to put a spotlight on PBR 05/01 $6 & 6.50 Calls which could provide significant opportunities if PBR can sustain this recovery off of its recently established lows.

Vascular Biogenics, Inc. VBLT

VBLT appeared in our reports for the first time yesterday, and it turned out to be a well-timed call. The stock traded in a daily range from 6.25-7.86, representing 26% intraday gain. Several of our chatroom members profited off of it, and we certainly hope some of our readers did as well!

Going ahead, we will use 6.25 as a baseline of support; in order for us to stay interested in VBLT we will want to see the PPS maintained above that level.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CNET Recap & More

ChinaNet Online Holdings, Inc. CNET

CNET made an excellent move following its inclusion in yesterday’s morning report, as the stock would go on to trade in an impressive range from  a low of 2.41 up to a new annual high of 3.98 on nearly 34x its one-month average volume. The strong 65% intraday run came in the first hour of trading, so folks had the chance at some very rapid, very substantial gains. Congrats if you were among them!

Direxion Daily Jr Gld Mnrs Bear 3X ETF (JDST)

We introduced JDST as a way to leverage against the falling prices of gold yesterday, and it’s working out in our favor so far. This ETF didn’t waste any time Monday morning, as it began a morning ascent that would last all day and carry it from a low of 14.65 to 16.88, a modest yet solid gain of 15%

We’ll have our eyes on this one for as long as it appears that the dollar will continue to strengthen.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SINO & PBR Updates

Sino-Global Shipping America Ltd. SINO

In yesterday’s newsletter, we mentioned that SINO was gapping up sharply in premarket trading, and as a result we would be on the lookout for a classic dip-and-rip pattern. That’s precisely what we got as SINO would settle into a low of 3.31 very early on, before springing back to run to a daily high of 4.69, which incidentally happened to be a new annual high as well.

In total the move was enough to secure up to 41% in intraday profits on incredible volume, to the tune of more than 58x the 3-month average.

This definitely signals a strong week for us; it marks the second consecutive session that a stock appearing in our pre-market report went on to set a new one-year high!

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR- Options

The PBR Calls that we tagged in yesterday’s pre-market report fared extremely well as PBR once again surged past the $17-mark, and even cracked $18 briefly in the afternoon. The bullish run resulted in the $16.50 Calls trading up from .92 to 1.35, for a 47% intraday run, and the $17 Calls making an even better move. They started from a low .56 and spiked 105% to 1.15.

At this point our winning calls involving the PBR options chain, spanning back from early this spring, are too many to count. It has indeed been a wellspring that we’ve returned to time and again, and have almost always met with positive results.

Moving forward, we’ll be looking to roll our strike price up a bit to the $17 & $17.50 Calls, and in the event that PBR re-breaches and holds the $18-level, possibly even consider moving it up further to the $18’s and $18.50’s.
