Blue Horseshoe Stocks: New Options Ideas, Bottom-Plays & More

Synergy Pharmaceutical, Inc. SGYP

SGYP kept piling on the gains yesterday with a great showing, emerging as one of our top picks of the week. For those who may have missed the reports, we declared interest in this play on Wednesday morning, and shortly thereafter bore witness to a solid 32% intraday run.

In yesterday morning’s report, we reinforced our confidence in the stock’s ability to produce another nice move based on the level of momentum it had built to that point. Our assumption proved accurate, and SGYP turned in an intraday increase of 19% from its early low of 7.92 up to a high of 9.44.

That move brought our total observed range on this play in a span of just two sessions to 56% (6.05-9.44).

SGYP is trading up slightly in the premarket with shares having traded hands for as much as 9.56 thus far this morning. While we’ll need to stay wary of potential pullbacks caused by profit-taking, we won’t want to let SGYP slip off of our radars.

The company’s Phase 3 trials for plecanatide as treatment for chronic idiopathic constipation met primary endpoints in both data runs, and there are many on Wall St. who believe we’ve yet to see the ceiling on this play’s potential.

Options Ideas

Under Armour, Inc. UA – We’re cap things off week by formulating a couple of options ideas for UA. The stock has been on quite a rip recently, and we’re going to explore the possibility of using the trend to our advantage. Specifically, we’re going to be monitoring UA Weekly $82.50-83.50 Calls for potential quick-strike intraday swing-trade chances, while reserving a spot on our longer-term watchlist for the 07/31 $84 Calls.

Added Reminder: We also are going to stay hot on the trail of the PBR Options ideas we mentioned in yesterday’s report (08/21 $10 and $11 Calls) into next week. We’ve already seen moves approaching and exceeding 100% in those contracts, and want to remain open to the possibility of more coming down the pipe, with plenty of time left until their expiration date.


Bottom-Bounce Watchlist:

Both Medican Enterprises, Inc. MDCN and Adaptive Media, Inc. ADTM took huge gut-punches yesterday, and will end the week on our bottom-watch radar. The possibility for significant rebound opportunities could be forthcoming either today or early into next week.


Extended Watchlist:
ARYC,  MJMJ, TPIV, HERO(Still on Bottom-Watch)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SGYP, PBR Recaps & More

Synergy Pharmaceutical, Inc. SGYP

We determined that the nature of SGYP’s premarket activity on the heels of a positive PR yesterday warranted inclusion in our morning report, and the result was yet another winning performance in what has thus far been a great week.

SGYP proceeded to trade in a daily range from its early low of 6.05 on up to 7.97, marking an intraday spike of 32% on volume which exceeded the 3-month average by more than 20X.

That momentum is spilling over into premarket trading this morning, and we’re seeing another gap up today. We’re going to be very interested to follow the action as the session kicks off, open to the possibility of another dip-and-rip.


`
Axion Power International, Inc. AXPW

Our coverage of AXPW this week yielded up big opportunities right from the start, and the trend continued early in yesterday’s session. The stock broke hard out of the starting gate and made a 30% run from .165-.214. As you can see on the 1-minute chart snapshot below, there were also a couple of subsequent swings that would follow.

AXPW ended up closing at .18, and has traded slightly higher in the premarket today.


Petroleo Brasiliero SA (Petrobras) PBR – Options

We also want to track back to a report on PBR we published on the morning of June 3rd, wherein we formulated some longer-term options ideas; specifically the 08/21 $10 and $11 Calls. The PBR chart has been ripening nicely of late, and as a result we’ve seen some nice chances for gain with those contracts.

August $10 Calls – Range: .31-.64 – Max Gain: 106%
August $11 Calls – Range: .17-.30 – Max Gain: 76%

As you can plainly see, PBR is working on one heck of a chart setup, so we’ll certainly continue to monitor these calls that have consistently been making higher lows and higher highs along with the stock.


StemCells, Inc. STEM

We want to tag STEM for observation this morning in the wake of an interested premarket PR we’ve noticed. The company has received the green light from Health Canada “to expand its Phase II clinical trial for chronic cervical spinal cord injury”. >> Read PR

The stock is gapping up in premarket trading, and if it can manage to break through its recent swing high at .74 once the session begins, things could get rather interesting.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Reviewing COTE, DNRG & More

Coates International, Ltd. COTE

After tracking COTE over a monstrous 560% swing (.0025-.0165) on Tuesday, we cautioned readers that a dip-and-rip might be in the cards yesterday, and it’s a good thing that we did.

The follow-up move managed by COTE was smaller by comparison, but still very impressive in and of itself. The daily range on the stock was huge, as it surged from .0068 and once again ran into resistance at .0165. It marked an intraday move of 142% and came on more than six times the monthly average volume.

We’ll continue to reserve a place on our watchlist for COTE as we head into the end of the week; if its activity thus far is any indicator, we may yet see the development another opportunity for healthy daily gains.


Dominovas Energy Corp. DNRG

DNRG exploded off of our extended watchlist yesterday, where we included a tag of it and the interesting PR we found on a routine scan. It appeared others found it interesting as well, because the stock went on an absolute rip from .005 to .0125; a single session swing of 150%

It was fortunate that we were vigilant enough to catch this play for ourselves and our readers, which up until this week, had been trading by appointment only. After the considerable momentum in the stock yesterday, we’ll be tracking its activity for the remainder of the week.


Yesterday’s Successful Options Ideas

We tossed out some options-trading ideas in yesterday’s premarket report, and the profits were certainly there for the taking:

LinkedIn Corp. LNKD – We provided a wide range of LNKD contracts to monitor- Weekly $205.00-212.50’s:

$205’s – Range: 6.00-10.30 – Max Gain: 72%
$207.50’s – Range: 4.20-8.00 – Max Gain: 90%
$210’s – Range: 2.60-6.00 – Max Gain: 131%
$212.50’s – Range: 1.58-4.00 – Max Gain: 153%

The longer-term ideas we included for LNKD also bore fruit immediately:

08/21 $220’s – Range: 9.80-12.00 – Max Gain: 22%
08/21 $225’s – Range: 8.15-9.90 – Max Gain: 21%
08/21 $230’s – Range: 5.10-8.00 – Max Gain: 57%

____

Petroleo Brasiliero SA (Petrobras) PBR –  We tagged the Weekly PBR $8.00-9.00 Calls for observation on PBR, and while the $8’s didn’t see much in the way of open interest, the $8.50’s ran from .38-.63 (+65%) and the $9’s made an even double bagger from .11-.22.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CDTI Recap & More

Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. CDTI

Jumping off of yesterday’s extended watchlist was CDTI, which made an early run which could have been milked for noteworthy intraday gains. The stock surged out of the gate in a range from 2.27-3.38 within the first 20 minutes of trading; that was good for profits of up to 49% for the quick-witted trader.

The run came in conjunction with a PR containing positive trial results from the company’s “Spinel” clean emissions exhaust technology >>Read PR

We’ll continue to monitor CDTI’s progress as the week progresses, especially as it searches for support on the heels of yesterday’s early spike. There could be some bounce-action forthcoming.

There’s also more news hitting the wires today highlighting an underwritten public offering, the net proceeds of which will reportedly be in excess of $4.5M. >>Read PR


Coates International, Ltd. COTE

We made yet another early call in our Skype-based trader’s chatroom yesterday in the form of COTE. Just a few minutes into the session we tagged the stock, and from a low of .0025 it absolutely broke out to a daily high of .0165. That’s an epic mega-move of 560%

Those who missed out on the intial pop could have utilized several subsequent swings of serious stature; COTE logged moves from .0103-.014 (+36%), .007-.0105 (+50%), and .0078-.01 (+28%).

We’d call that a darn good reason to get involved with our chats, but it isn’t the only one we’ve given recently.

We were just reminding our readers the other day about joining in our daily chats after we called AURI in the room last Thursday, and that idea actually led to a multi-day, multi-bag run from that stock. We’ll be looking for similar activity from COTE, staying open to the possibility of a dip-and-rip scenario following a consolidation off of yesterday’s huge spike.

Once again, if you want to get in on our chats, all you need to do is send a Skype Contact Request to ‘stocksumo’. All of our readers are more than welcome to participate, and it will prevent you from missing out on prime chances like this one!


New Options Ideas

We thought we’d also provide a few new options ideas for the first time this week. We’ve got potential short and longer-term possibilities to suggest:

Petroleo Brasiliero SA (Petrobras) PBR –  This old favorite always seems to produce for us, and after sizing up the chart (snapshot below), we like the current landscape, provided it can continue to maintain support at or above the 50DMA of 8.44. In the short-term, we’re looking at the Weekly PBR $8.00-9.00 Calls. For a potential extended idea, we’ll be tagging the August $10.00-11.00 Calls for observation.

LinkedIn Corp. LNKD – LNKD is another repeat-appearance options play for us. Today we’re going to be keeping watch over the Weekly $205.00-212.50 Call range, and for our longer-term watchlist, the August $220.00-230.00 Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AVEO Recap, Options Ideas & More

AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc. AVEO

We’ve tracked AVEO in our reports from Wednesday and yesterday to what has turned out to be a strong intraweek swing. From Wednesday’s low of 1.50, the stock surged to a new 52-week high of 3.50 early in yesterday’s session, during which it traded more than thirty times its 3-month average.

It marked a two-day move of 133% which began when the company released favorable drug trial results on Wednesday. Strangely, the PR (View It Here) seemed to go largely unnoticed by the investment community until yesterday. Despite that fact, we showed up early to the party, and had a heck of time watching others catch on, producing yesterday’s annual high-setting push.

After consolidating into the close, AVEO appears to be gapping up slightly this morning, so we’ll stay tuned to the price action as the session unfolds.


Holiday Island Holdings, Inc. HIHI

We played HIHI like a fiddle this week; it’s yet another example of us providing our readers with advanced notice on prime-time chances to profit.

We alerted folks to the situation in our premarket report on Wednesday, at which time the stock was trading at a low of .0015. Word of a massive share reduction via purchase and return to treasury hit the newswires early, providing us with all the incentive we needed to include it in our daily interests. HIHI proceeded to run more than 70% over the course of that afternoon.

Then yesterday, we caught wind of a promotion on the stock with which we had no involvement, and it prompted us to remain focused on HIHI. We mentioned that the promo might produce “an impeccably-timed boost to extend our profits as we look to take them off the table” and it worked like a charm. The stock ended up touching a new high of .003, marking a two-session swing of exactly 100%.


Morning Gapper Watchlist
While a Friday preceding a holiday weekend is usually a relatively subdued affair, there are a couple of items hitting our scanner that we’ll be monitoring for opportunities.  Each of the following is gapping up in the premarket:

Emerald Oil, Inc. EOX
We drew up a chart to illustrate the situation on EOX. The stock was kicked hard during yesterday’s session so we’ll be on alert for some rebound action today.

Oncothyreon, Inc. ONTY
ONTY is the other gapper that will retain a portion of our of our focus this morning.


Quick Options Trading Ideas:

 Apple, Inc. AAPL has been on a wicked run all week, so we’ll watch for a dip-and-rip scenario; the $131 and $132 Weekly Calls should be in play today.

For Petroleo Brasiliero SA (Petrobras) PBR, we’re going to zero in on $9.00 & $9.50 Weekly Calls.
