Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PIRS, Options Recaps & More

Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Inc. PIRS

We tagged PIRS in yesterday morning’s premarket report via the extended watchlist after the company released some press regarding a strategic partnership with pharma giant AstraZeneca. That’s all many traders needed to hear, as an incredible amount of buying came in, with volume on the order of more than 206 times the 30-day average.

That massive momentum gave PIRS a steady push in a bullish direction, as the stock rose from a low of 3.0299 to a high of 3.97, a solid intraday climb of 31% We would be quite surprised if that was last of the bullish activity in PIRS after such a big announcement and subsequent massive accumulation of shares.

Weight Watchers International, Inc. WTW – Options Recap

Our fresh options idea for the day yesterday was to track the WTW Weekly $24-25 Calls after noticing elevated post-earnings (out Tuesday) activity. Oprah’s association with the company that began at the end of 2015 has had a lasting positive effect and led to increased revenues and a heightened outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Were looking for these things to drive some movement in the contracts we were looking at, and that’s just what happened early on in the session. Any of the three sets of contracts within our highlighted range would have given traders the opportunity to bank multi-bag profits right from the opening bell. The following gains were up for grabs in the first 45 minutes of the session.

$24 Calls – Range: .52-1.33 – Max Gain: 156%
$24.50 Calls – Range: .40-.81 – Max Gain: 102%
$25 Calls – Range: .32-.65 – Max Gain: 103%

DISH Network Corp. DISH – Options Recap

Our bearish options idea from Monday morning’s premarket report was to monitor the DISH 05/12 $62-60 Puts after noticing that not only did DISH have a disappointing earnings release, but that the chart was also looking top-heavy prior to that.

Our idea has worked out exceedingly well, whether traders took our suggestion to go with the contracts expiring next week as we listed, or simply went with the weeklies, which also made massive moves. Here are the potential gains that were up for grabs on our listed contracts:

$62 Puts – Range: .40-1.48 – Max Gain: 270%
$61.50 Puts – Range: .40-.91 – Max Gain: 127%
$61 Puts – Range: .21-.50 – Max Gain: 138%
$60.50 Puts – Range: .26-.43 – Max Gain: 65%
$60 Puts – Range: .10-.50 – Max Gain: 400%

First NBC Bank Holding Co. FNBC

Monday, on FNBC we commented that “we’ll have to monitor this one for its bottom, but after it’s reached we could in in for a heck of a bounce”. That bottom came the very next day at .0932 and yesterday, the big bounce we were mentioning came to pass as FNBC rushed to a high of .35.

That works out to a fantastic two-day swing of 276% and with the stock gapping up slightly in the premarket today, we could see an extension of those gains.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: BLDV Review & More

Blue Diamond Ventures, Inc. BLDV

One among the many great calls to come out of our daily live trader’s chats* recently, BLDV came into view for us on Thursday April 20th, as the stock was mentioned in the room and subsequently went on a big run from .0005-.0017 (+240%).

We brought it up in our premarket report the following day, and the run continued from .0016-.0029 (+81%). After that a slight pullback occurred over the next session, but since then the stock has been on the rise again, and this week has brought new highs.

Yesterday, after appearing in our morning report once again, BLDV went on another tear and reached a new high for us. The stock made a 42% intraday push from .0036 and hit .0051. From our observed low of just nine sessions earlier, the stock has increased by an incredible 920%

Even those who missed the initial chatroom call and only caught BLDV in our premarket report on Friday the 21st at its low of .0016 that day, still had a chance at up to 219% in gains. The stock had a pretty strong close on high volume, so we’ll continue to monitor its progress even though it has already served us so well.

*Finding opportunities in the premarket is a big part of what we do every single trading day, but sometimes the real movers don’t reveal themselves until regular market hours commence. That’s where the chatroom comes in, giving ourselves and our participants the chance to spot and share the big movers as they crop up.

Balmoral Resources, Ltd. BALMF

After noticing the company released what it referred to as “high grade gold results from its Detour Gold Trend Project in Quebec” in a fresh PR this morning (>>View PR) we also took a look at the BALMF chart and saw that the stock itself has been working its way down to a bottom recently and is approaching heavily oversold territory.

Indications are that it could see slightly lower prices before making a rebound, so we’ll just want to ensure that it holds at or above December’s swing low of .46 on any further pullbacks. If it does, we’ll be very interested to track BALMF, especially given the fact that they’re officially ‘on the gold’ at their Quebec property.

Weight Watchers International, Inc. WTW – Options Idea

Weight Watchers has been breaking into blue skies, with an incredible bullish move that has lasted for the better part of six weeks. Heavy activity in this morning’s premarket leads us to think that despite already being up so high, WTW’s good fortunes could continues for awhile longer.

We’ll have an eye on the WTW Weekly $24-25 Calls on the chance that our hunch in correct.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SFOR Update & More

StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. SFOR

Prior to including it in yesterday morning’s premarket report, our next most recent mentions of SFOR were last Wednesday and Thursday, giving all our readers plenty of time to catch the massive wave of momentum that has now carried the stock to new highs.

At that time we observed a low of .008 in the stock and in the ensuing four sessions it has managed to register higher highs and higher lows each day. The intraday range on the stock yesterday alone was .0134-.022, a solid 64% rip. Measured from last week’s low, we’ve now witnessed an overall upswing of 175% From our all-time observed low on this familiar play (.0036), yesterday’s high marked a 511% jump.

We’ll continue to observe for an extension of the pattern that has been established here, and remain interested as long as the stock maintains support above yesterday’s swing low.

Oroplata Resources, Inc. ORRP

We signaled ORRP for observation in yesterday’s watchlist, and the stock ended up making a really nice run into the close that was good for sizable intraday gains.

We noticed this one in a routine morning scan yesterday, however, as it is a stock that’s been heavily promoted in the past, we’d like to take this opportunity that our interest in it was purely fundamental. We are not connected in any way to any of the promotions/promoters that have ever gone out on this stock.

In terms of the move it made subsequent to yesterday’s mention, we saw ORRP traverse its way from .265 to .405, for a healthy intraday gain of 53% The stock closed just a shade below its high of day, so we’ll certainly be on the lookout for a continuation of momentum into today’s session.

Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. ACOR

The confluence of a newly-recorded annual low, some insider selling, and a sizable gap to the on the chart to the upside have us thinking about a longer-term options idea to correspond with a possible recovery.

The chart still appears to gearing down, so we could see some slight downside before this idea comes to fruition, but we want to signal and begin monitoring now to make sure we’re not late to the party

. We’re going to put a tab on the ACOR 10/18 $23-25 Calls to prepare ourselves for what could be quite a significant rebound once the stock finds a solid level of support from which to launch a rebound.
