Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TSLA Sustains Uptrend & More

Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA – Options

TSLA registered its fourth consecutive session of higher highs and higher lows yesterday. In our morning report, we had just finished congratulating those of our readers who took advantage of the options trading ideas we ventured (05/22 $230-240 Calls). Returns ranging from 78-140% were made possible between Friday and Monday, and yesterday’s performance extended those opportunities even further. We could see a continuance of that pattern into today as well.

News coming down the TSLA presswire has likely contributed to the strength of this run, with the State of Maryland giving the company the green light for four direct-sales outlets in the state, a major victory for the burgeoning automaker. >>LEARN MORE

With all that having been said, with TSLA’s PPS settling in the high $244-range upon yesterday’s close and breaching the $248 mark in this morning’s premarket trading, we’re going to want to roll our range of monitored contracts up for action that’s closer to the money.

Should TSLA continue its bullish patterns, we’ll be scanning 05/22 $240-250 Calls for quick-strike chances just like the ones we’ve already witnessed.

Gevo, Inc. GEVO

On Thursday of last week, we caught GEVO as it made a great run from a low of 3.28 that day to 7.26 the following day; allowing us to close out the week with a premium chance at up to 122% in profits.

Following that impressive move we mentioned that we wanted to see the stock hold at the 200DMA of 4.90 upon pulling back, and while the stock wasn’t quite able to do so, support ultimately came Monday at a low of 4.43.

We want to eye GEVO once again this midweek as premarket activity is carrying the stock past mid-$5 range.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PTBI Makes Huge Run & Extended Watchlist

PlasmaTech Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. PTBI

We were on top of PTBI in yesterday morning’s premarket report, catching it off of our scanner after an interesting PR alluded to activist investor George Soros taking up a position in the company. We also identified the attractiveness of the chart, and went so far as to say: “we like its chances of making a nice run.” Our expectations were exceeded roundly, and we actually ended up seeing a terrific run!

From an early low of 4.33 the stock surged to an impressive daily high of 7.77, carving out a 79% intraday rip on the chart. For a NASDAQ-listed $4.00+ stock, that is an incredible single-session performance.

The stock is pushing to new highs here in the premarket, and has officially crossed over the 100%-gainer line in less than a 24-hour period.

Take a look at the video chart we’ve prepared outlining PTBI’s epic performance so far:

Today’s continued momentum can likely be attributed to another PR out this morning, this time referring to a new acquisition. We’d suggest our readers follow the link to that press, included below. We’ll be actively monitoring this stock as we cruise through this midweek.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ICLD, XGTI Recaps & More

InterCloud Systems, Inc. ICLD

ICLD stood out as a solid mover from yesterday’s premarket report. From a morning low of 3.01, the stock made an authoritative move on up to a high of 4.30 just prior to the closing bell.  That represents an increase of 43% on heavy volume to the tune of nearly 38X the three-month average. That figure has been extended to 46%  in the premarket today with the stock touching a high of 4.40 so far.

We’ll want to monitor ICLD for a sustained run; if it can manage higher highs and higher lows today, it would mark the third straight session. The boost it received yesterday was due, in part, to the announcement of a new product launch, the link to which we’ve included below.

xG Technology, Inc. XGTI

XGTI was another stock from yesterday’s report that made a significant move on the day. It saw a an early low of .40, and would go on to run toward the end of the session, hitting a high of .5474. That worked out to an intraday move of 37%

The stock managed to hold .54 into the close, and the performance came on volume exceeding the monthly average by more than 6X. Anytime we observe action of this kind, we want to be on the lookout for continued activity in subsequent sessions. Already in early trading today we’re seeing the beginnings of a dip-and-rip pattern. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for added chances to take advantage of this play.

OSL Holdings, Inc. OSLH

We tracked OSLH throughout the month of April, and we’re highly rewarded for our vigilance. Between April 2nd (Low: .0021) and April 15th (High: .0274) we witnessed an amazing 1294% run.

Toward the end of last week, OSLH found a bottom after pulling back off of that historic move, and began to rebound from the .0075-mark, and has definitely won back our attention. Yesterday’s session carried OSLH as high as .0144, a 92% swing. We’ll watch this play for the possibility of a protracted rebound off of Friday’s low.

PlasmaTech Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. PTBI

We pulled up PTBI on a routine scan today, and it’s a stock that has been invested in by activist investor George Soros, as we’ve learned in the PR out this morning.. Occasionally, we like to watch stocks that are in the portfolios of high-profile investors. Just last month we followed VLTC over a huge run that was fueled by the involvement of Carl Icahn.

The stock is already up significantly in early trading, and there’s a chance we could see a major gap on the chart up to the 5.50 area filled, so we’ll have this one on our radar for just such an event. We’ve pointed this out below; if PTBI can gain support at or above the 4.40-mark, we like its chances of making a nice run.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Recap of Friday & Much More

Friday’s Options Ideas:

We had our eyes on a handful of options trading possibilities on Friday, and we did see some significant moves to the upside emerge from that group. We’ll kick things off this week by outlining some of the opportunities that were available for traders within the price ranges we specified in Friday’s report:

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. SWKS
$94.50 Calls – Range: 1.26-3.63 – Max Gain: 188%
$95 Calls – Range: .84-3.20 – Max Gain: 280%
$95.50 Calls – Range: .60-2.28 – Max Gain: 280%
$96 Calls – Range: .53-2.36 – Max Gain: 345%

Expedia, Inc. EXPE
$99 Calls – Range: 1.43-3.60 –  Max Gain: 152%
$99.50 Calls – Range: 2.00-2.83 – Max Gain: 41%

FireEye, Inc. FEYE
05/08 $42 Calls – Range: 1.70-2.55 – Max Gain: 50%
05/08 $43 Calls – Range: 1.25-2.00 – Max Gain: 60%

It’s quite the task for anyone to provide just one worthwhile options-trading idea, and on Friday, we were three for three. It serves as a great example of why we like to mix plenty of these options ideas into our daily reports; the gains are out there, ripe for the taking! 

Advanced Medical Isotope Corp. ADMD

Our attention was drawn to ADMD this morning as it popped up on our news scanner; the company has come forth with information regarding an “error in the calculation of common shares that should have properly been issued, resulting in significant excess issuances of common stock”. It essentially boils down to an estimated positive impact of $0.8M on ADMD’s balance sheet.

We naturally took a look at the ADMD chart upon taking notice of this news, and as we point out with the annotations below, there are several indications of a bullish trend in effect. As a result, we’ll want to keep watch over ADMD as we begin this new trading week.

Rebound For Social Media Stocks?

LinkedIn Corp. LNKD and Twitter, Inc. TWTR were both crushed on disappointing earnings last week, and both stocks appear to be gearing up for a possible recovery this week. They’re both slightly in the green here in the premarket this morning, and we’ll be looking for potential swing trade opportunities that might present themselves in coming weeks with Calls bearing a 05/29 expiration date.

On LinkedIn Corp. LNKD we’ll be monitoring the 05/29 $200-210 Call range. The longer period before expiration gives the stock some time to sustain a comeback off of recent lows.

For Twitter, Inc. TWTR we’ll actively monitor the 05/29 $38-42 Call range for similar opportunities.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Earnings-Related Options Ideas & More

Earnings-Related Options Ideas

We’ve entered into another round of high-profile earnings releases, and as our routine readers are well aware, this has become a key device in our seeking of quick-strike profits with options trading.

Ebay, Inc. EBAY
On EBAY, we’re going to size up contracts in the $58.50-60 Call range, looking for a classic dip-and-rip scenario. Usually on a gap-up after an earnings beat we see profit-taking which leads to a pullback followed by a resulting bounce. We look to get positioned in some in-the-money calls on the pullback that we can unload when the rebound occurs.

Caterpillar, Inc. CAT
CAT beat on earnings as well, and the range of contracts that we’re most likely going to find the biggest chances for gains here, should fall between $86-89.  We want to stay in the money with our strike price and roll it up in the event the stock breaks out more sharply.

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR

For PBR, which is sliding back following yesterday’s post-market earnings release, we’re going to look for possible opportunities in Weekly Puts in the $9.00-8.50 range, depending on the intensity of the downward pressure we see on the stock as the market opens.

Enzon Pharmceuticals, Inc. ENZN

This is a stock that we want to put on our radars as we head into week’s end; biopharmas have been hot, and ENZN is among those that have been breaking out. We’re anxious to see how this play will continue to fare as it has been streaking into the blue sky.

It’s much like the move we saw in the past couple of weeks from VLTC, which spiked on news of an increased stake by billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn. It so happens that Icahn also owns shares in ENZN, which makes for an interesting side note. We’ll certainly want to keep this one in our sights moving forward.

Yahoo, Inc. YHOO – Options Ideas

If you recall, we were sitting on the fence with our approach to YHOO options yesterday as the internet search giant had fallen short on earnings. We noted that the heaviest action would likely be in the  $44-45 Calls or Puts, depending on the tone of the trend.

It became quickly apparent that YHOO was pulling back further upon the open,and anyone who followed our idea and latched onto the $44 Puts were in for quite a ride as those contracts traded in a range from .17-.55; an intraday swing of 223% The $45 Puts also made a move from .56-1.29, a slightly more subdued yet still very respectable 130%

Great Basin Scientific, Inc. GBSN

We need to congratulate anyone who caught our flag of GBSN in yesterday’s premarket report, as the stock made a healthy intraday run from 4.60-6.10 that could have afforded traders gains of up to 33% on the day on the heels of some FDA-related news.
