Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Plays & Other Updates

Alcoa, Inc. AA – Options Idea

The range of options contracts that we signaled for observation on Tuesday for Alcoa went on to extend their gains, just as we mentioned they might in yesterday’s report. We were zeroed in on the AA Weekly $32-30 Puts, and as AA continued its backslide right on cue, the trading ranges were indeed bolstered by a good margin.

Here are the updated figures of the possible gains:

$32 Puts – Range: 2.64-4.95 – Max Gain: 88%
$31.50 Puts – Range: 1.93-4.47 – Max Gain: 132%
$31 Puts – Range: 1.57-3.98 – Max Gain: 153%
$30.50 Puts – Range: 1.16-3.44 – Max Gain: 197%
$30 Puts – Range: .65-3.02 – Max Gain: 365%



Other Updates

BioStar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. BSPM – After catching this stock’s fantastic 96% intraday run from 3.60 to 7.06 on Tuesday, the stock saw a big dip yesterday, along with a subsequent rip that could have provided an early morning in-and-out opportunity.

After coming down to 4.27 it traveled back as high as 5.23, an intraday move of 22%
_____

Agritek Holdings, Inc. AGTK – We tagged AGTK for observation in Friday’s report, at which time the stock was seen trading as low .0092. After a few sessions of nominal trading, yesterday the stock really kicked things into high gear.

We saw a 152% daily run from .011 to a new high of .0277, and from the low we witnessed less than a week ago, a total increase of 201%

AGTK falls under the category of cannabis related stocks, which we’ve been tracking more heavily of late and intend to continue doing through the upcoming elections.
_____

OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp. OWCP – We followed OWCP on its epic run beginning two Thursday’s ago and continuing through all of last week, which carried it from .0045-.073 (+1522%).

We strongly suggested that a dip-and-rip would be in the cards when the stock finally began to pull back off of its highs, and this week our assumption was proved accurate. From Tuesday’s swing low of .0322, yesterday the stock surged back to actually set a new high of .074. That means the dip-and-rip we were waiting for allotted us potential gains of up to 130%


Delta Air Lines, Inc. DAL – Fresh Options Idea

We’ve had extreme good fortune with bearish options ideas this week, and this morning we’re seeing another chance to take advantage of a backslide. Like the situation we saw with Alcoa, Delta’s chart is looking toppy at the moment, and when combined with the reaction to this morning’s earnings call we think we may see some nice activity out of DAL Weekly $39.50-38 Puts. The company beat on Q3 profits, but fell short on revenue, and is dipping in the premarket as a result.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Revisiting VMEM, ONOV & More

Violin Memory, Inc. VMEM

This morning, we’re going to take a minute to go over the recent performance of a stock that we tagged for tracking on June 1st. At the time, we were noticing that VMEM, after a period of sharp consolidation that led to its 52-week lows roughly a month ago, was rebounding nicely.

Subsequent to our mention of the stock we observed a low of .482, and in the ensuing two weeks, it’s been mostly trending upward as you can see on the chart below. It has since reached a high of .79, representing a total increase of 64% over our observed low.

To remain interested in VMEM, we’ll need to see it hold support at or above its recent swing-low at .56 on any pullbacks.


BioNovelus, Inc. ONOV

We’ve got another stock in ONOV that we had previously mentioned earlier this spring, which has also managed a near-continual uptrend of late.

Following our alert of this play back on the 26th of April, it was trading for as little as .006 a share, and as you can plainly see, the climb it’s made since that time has been nothing short of monumental. The stock incredibly hit a new high of .103 yesterday, which registers as a 1617% upswing over our observed low!

Despite being quite overbought at the moment, we’ve got the indicator of all indicators, a Golden Cross, forming on the chart. Should the stock hold support at .04 or better on any dips, we’ll remain watchful for the possibility of further breakouts.


Extended-Term Watch Idea:

Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. MPAA – We took notice of MPAA this morning after the company’s mixed earnings release. We are seeing a number of attractive features of this stock at the moment, and want to put it on a longer-term watch. Not only is it currently feeling out its 52-week lows, but there has been a wave of Form-4 Buying that has been reported over the past week. These are attributes which have led us to good bounceplay opportunities in the past, so we’ll keep an eye peeled.
