Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Bottom-Bouncers & More

Bottom-Bouncers to Watch

Each of the following plays seem to have a reasonable shot at taking their chart reversals on Friday into a new trading week, and continuing to rebound. We’ll want to reserve a slot on our radar for each of them.

CannaSys, Inc. MJTKD – We’ve been crazy about marijuana related stocks of late, renewing an interest in a market sector that began more than two years ago. While most cannabis plays enjoyed some type of sustained upward momentum (ranging from moderate to epic) over the course of last month, MJTKD had a major move early on, and then spent the remainder of the time under heavy consolidation.

We’re entering the scene as the stock reached new annual lows on Thursday, and began to recover on Friday. We’re going to be on the lookout for some of that momentum to carry over from here; a run back 50DMA of .0775 from current pricing would represent a move of more than 200%


_______

Windstream Holdings, Inc. WIN – Just like the above-mentioned play, WIN recorded a new 52-week low on Thursday, followed by the beginnings of a nice rebound on Friday. The chart is looking absolutely ripe, and the company also just announced an all-stock acquisition of EarthLink (>>View PR), so there’s definitely a spotlight being cast upon it at the present time.

We see the possibility of a good bottom play in the stock as well as a chance for an extended-term idea in options chain. We’ll be looking to the WIN 12/16 $7.00-9.00 Calls, which should stand to be big gainers if the stock can make a run at its 50DMA within the next several weeks.


Starbucks Corp. SBUX – Options Recap

Although they failed to maintain their advances throughout the session, the calls we highlighted for Starbucks, the SBUX Weekly $52-53’s, made huge runs early on Friday.

$52 Calls – Range: .10-1.77 – Max Gain: 1670%
$52.50 Calls – Range: .08-1.27 – Max Gain: 1487%
$53 Calls – Range: .05-.78 – Max Gain: 1460%

We also put the SBUX 11/11 $53.50-55 Calls on watch in case the run carried into this week, and despite a big dip later on in the session, the stock is recovering in the premarket this morning, so we’ll want to continue keeping an eye on the contracts in that range.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Weekly Wrap-Up, Options Plays & More

Marijuana Company of America, Inc. MCOA

Following today’s session, we will have been tracking MCOA’s movements for exactly one month. When we first began talking about this play in early October it was trading in the subpenny range (.0094), and the results of one heck of a bullish month carried the stock to nearly twenty cents!

We had already seen a rise leading up to yesterday morning’s update on the stock of 1200% but the epic run wasn’t finished. The stock traded in a daily range from a low of .083 and hit an incredible new high of .1985 before tapering off into the close. That worked out to an intraday run of 139%

From our observed low it measures as a one-month overall upswing of 2011% which is one of the largest gainers we’ve bagged all year where stocks are concerned (Our options calls reach percentage gains of more than 1000% fairly routinely).

Galenfeha, Inc. GLFH

Also continuing its multi-day run yesterday was GLFH, which we brought to the table on Monday morning. It has now officially appeared in every report we’ve published for the entire week, on the strength of yet another solid performance yesterday.

We said early on that we’d be looking for GLFH to be a slow and steady riser over these four sessions; it has made gains every day but never exceeding 35%, and yesterday’s move was no exception. What it has done, is maintain those advances and kept piling one on top of the other.

The stock traded in a range from .055-.069 yesterday, for an intraday increase of 25%, and measuring from our observed low of .026, the total intraweek run its posted comes out to a highly respectable 165%

It’s rare that stocks see multi-day runs exceeding three days, so at this point, we’ll begin to ready ourselves for a consolidation that could come at any time.

Fresh Options Ideas

Our incredible success with numerous stocks this week dictated that we shy off of the options trading arena for a few days, but it’s high time for us to enter some ideas into the mix this morning. For both of the following plays, we’ll submit a weekly target* (expiring today) as well as one for next week, just in case these stocks put together multi-day increases of their own.

TWLO Weekly $32-35 Calls & 11/11 $35-36.50 Calls

SBUX Weekly $52-53 Calls & 11/11 $53.50-55 Calls

*Dabbling in weekly options contracts on a Friday should not be attempted by anyone except expert traders!

Lands End, Inc. LE

On the chart below, we’ve pointed out the various reasons for why we like it from a technical perspective. Additionally, we always like to track a wide range retail stocks as the holiday shopping season approaches, and it fits the bill in that regard as well.

We’ve got an extended-term options idea for this one, with the LE 12/16 $12.50-17.50 Calls.
