Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Ideas & More

Salesforce.com, Inc. CRM – Options Update

Our fresh options idea in yesterday morning’s report panned out very well for us when all was said and done. We highlighted a range which encompassed six sets of contracts, the CRM Weekly $67.50-70 Calls, and regardless of which strike point was chosen, hefty intraday profits were there for the taking from around lunchtime, right up until the close.

The magnitude of the potential profits we observed were certainly not as epic as the two separate chances at 1500% gains provided to us by our Macy’s calls from earlier in the week, but in and of themselves, still very impressive.

$67.50 Calls – Trading Range: .70-2.04  – Max Gain: 191%
$68 Calls – Trading Range: .37-1.70 – Max Gain: 359%
$68.50 Calls – Trading Range: .35-1.20 – Max Gain: 243%
$69 Calls – Trading Range:  .12-.83 – Max Gain: 591%
$69.50 Calls – Trading Range: .13-.60 – Max Gain: 362%
$70 Calls – Trading Range:  .08-.30 – Max Gain: 275%

We must be doing something right when a 500% rip begins to seem small by comparison! In an attempt to extend our extreme good fortune with options plays this week right up to the end, we’ve prepared a couple of ideas* for possible day-trades based on premarket activity this morning.

Palo Alto Networks, Inc. – PANW Weekly $147-152.50 Calls

Baidu, Inc. – BIDU Weekly $172.50-177.50 Calls

*Pertaining to both of the preceding ideas, remember to always consider the inherent elevated risk associated with trading weekly options contracts on a Friday!


USA Restaurant Funding, Inc. USAR

After USAR offered us the chance at intraday gains of up to 51% on Wednesday as it ran from .0093-.0148, we suggested that a bounceplay could be in the cards, given the volatility we had observed- the stock had pulled back considerably toward the end of the session.

The rebound we referred to did come to pass during yesterday’s session, as USAR traded up from its daily low of  .0071 to a high of .0098. That represented a modest but solid 38% move on the day.


Agritek Holdings, Inc. AGTK – Update

We placed AGTK in our reports multiple times earlier this month, and the stock has responded with quite a nice performance in the intervening weeks since those tags.

Shortly after our most recent mention, we’d observe a low of .003 followed by a steady ramp-up at first, giving way to more significant increases this week. It culminated in a high of .0121 yesterday which marked an overall swing of 303% in fewer than a dozen sessions!

Based on its heightening activity, we’ll continue to leave a slot open for AGTK on our radar screens moving forward.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Friday’s Big Winners & More

Sandridge Energy, Inc. SDOC

SDOC was the focus of our closing thought in Friday’s premarket report, and the direct assumption we made about the likelihood of a rebound proved to be very accurate, to put it mildly. The nature of the premarket activity on the stock led us to believe that a bounce was imminent, as we pointed out, and the ensuing price action was quite impressive.

From an early low of .0339, SDOC soared as high as .085, for an intraday burst of 143%, and the move occurred on very heavy volume of more than 5X the monthly average.

It’s fair to mention that following its recent delisting from the NYSE to OTC, the company issued a statement citing that it cannot guarantee its listing and/or trading status moving forward. (View 8K) Those proceeding with speculation into the stock henceforth should do so with utmost caution.


LegacyXChange, Inc. LEGX

LEGX was another play from Friday’s watchlist to do very well on the day. It ran 68% from a low of .025 up as high as .042 on six times the average volume. It represented a momentary breach of the 200DMA, and the fourth consecutive session of higher highs and higher lows.

This is what we characterize as a low-float play; those stocks with tight share structures such as this one have the ability to make exactly the types of moves we witnessed on Friday when significant buying pressure is applied. We’ll continue to remain interested in LEGX provided it maintains support at or above Friday’s swing low at .025.


Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. SBFM

Last but not least among notable plays from Friday’s morning report is SBFM. We’ve been tracking this stock heavily since December 29th, and have observed it trading as low as .008 following that report. It has been on an epic uptrend since then, and managed to set new highs once again on Friday.

It started out trading as low as .023 and surged as high as .0375 for an intraday run of 63% and an overall move of 369% in the eight sessions since we first mentioned it to our readers. SBFM has achieved higher highs and higher lows in seven of those eight sessions.

As pointed out on the following chart snapshot, we’ll need to see SBFM maintain above its previous swing-low of .023 to hold our attention moving forward.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SUNE, DIS Updates & More

SunEdison, Inc. SUNE

We first began mentioning SUNE last month, as we were noticing the stock had been steadily beaten back since midsummer. We placed the stock on bottom-watch and since reaching its ultimate low of 2.55 on November 20th, it has been making steady strides to the upside.

We tagged the stock for more intensive tracking in yesterday’s premarket report, and were met with even more advances. SUNE put forth a modest but solid 15% increase as it traded in a range from 5.65-6.47. From our observed low just a few weeks ago, SUNE has produced an overall increase of 154%  We’ll continue to stay hot on its trail for as long as the bullish trend remains intact.


Options Recap – The Walt Disney Co. DIS

We were able to take advantage of the excitement surrounding DIS yesterday morning by submitting Weekly DIS $112-116 Calls for tracking, and in what seems like it’s become a regular occurrence for us, each and every set of contracts in our specified range made excellent intraday moves.

Here are the gains that were possible during yesterday’s session with these calls:

$112 Calls – Trading Range: 1.25-2.32  – Max Gain: 86%
$113 Calls – Trading Range: .80-1.58  – Max Gain: 98%
$114 Calls – Trading Range: .46-.95 – Max Gain: 107%
$115 Calls – Trading Range: .29-.54 – Max Gain: 86%
$116 Calls – Trading Range: .16-.29 – Max Gain: 81%


More Chatroom Success

Our good friend and chatroom participant, DJ, was up to his old tricks yesterday, entering yet another winning play into the mix.

NUVI was .008 x .009 at the time of DJ’s post (pictured above) and the stock ended up pushing to .0272 for an awesome 240% intraday surge.

Once again, a great example of why its a good idea to participate in our daily trader’s chats. To get involved, just send a Skype request to ‘stocksumo’.


Fresh Options Ideas – AAPL

This morning we’re looking to AAPL for a possible rally; the stock is gapping up and thus we will be looking for a potential dip-and-rip scenario. We are going to want to keep the Weekly $111-113 Calls on watch for today and tomorrow.

In the event AAPL pushes past the $113-mark, we’d of course look to roll up our strike prices to the $114’s and possibly even $115’s, depending on the magnitude of the surge.
