Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SBFM Update, Options Idea & More

Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. SBFM

We initially tagged SBFM for observation four sessions back (exactly one week ago) after noticing abnormal activity the day prior, and were immediately met with a big run from .008-.0183 (129%) that first day. In each of the sessions since the stock has recorded higher lows and to open up 2016 trading yesterday the stock jumped to impressive new highs.

From a daily low of .013 SBFM made a nice intraday move totaling 65% as pushed its upper limits to a .0214 on heavy volume.  That represented an overall swing in the three sessions since we’ve  been tracking it to a highly respectable 168%

The overall uptrend kicked off with the revelation that the company had acquired all of the worldwide patents for its “anticancer compound”, Adva-27a >>>VIEW PR

Breathe eCig Corp. BVAP

BVAP was an item of interest in our report from last Wednesday, and it took only three sessions to realize the big move we suspected might be in store. The company has been consistently retiring its convertible debt in tranches over the past several months, and a deal that will allow for full repayment was the subject of an announcement that hit wires yesterday. (VIEW PR)

That news helped to push the stock to a new high of .0039, which from our observed low of .0015 on the day of our initial alert, goes down in the books as a three-day swing of 160%

Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. SWHC – Options Idea

SWHC caught our eye in the premarket this morning and struck us as a possible opportunity to see some big intraweek swings in some options calls. As the Obama administration presses for heightened restrictions on firearms, gun manufacturers are reporting exceptionally increased demand.

Add in yesterday’s post-market earnings which reflected bolstered sales and 2016 guidance, and we have a potential recipe for continued bullishness.

As a result, we want to put a range of options on our radars; specifically the SWHC Weekly $24-26 Calls. We’ll be in the lookout for a possible dip-and-rip scenario to kick things off, and will remain interested as long as the dip carries the stock no lower than $24.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: HK Update, Options Recap & More

First thing’s first- remember that the closing bell rings at 1PM today, whereupon we’ll break for a three-and-a-half day weekend. Allow us to preemptively extend to everyone glad tidings of rest and relaxation, and an enjoyable holiday break no matter how you choose to spend today and tomorrow’s market downtime!

But, before we can hang things up for the holidays we need to go over some of the great winning plays we’ve tracked on this short week; a feat which isn’t always easy to accomplish. 

Celgene Corp. CELG

CELG was gapping up yesterday on untraded-upon news, and the activity led us to formulate an idea for a range of options calls that we felt would see heavy activity.

Our specified targets were CELG Weekly $116-120 Calls and we were exceedingly pleased with the ensuing swing action:

$116 Calls – Trading Range: 3.46-6.60  – Max Gain: 91%
$117 Calls – Trading Range: 2.19-5.44  – Max Gain: 148%
$118 Calls – Trading Range: 1.55-4.70  – Max Gain: 203%
$119 Calls – Trading Range: 1.30-3.55 – Max Gain: 173%
$120 Calls – Trading Range: .75-3.10 – Max Gain: 313%

Swift Energy Co. SFYW

We placed SFYW on watch yesterday morning after noticing that the stock was attempting to sustain a rebound off of its recently established 52-week lows.

The stock did perform nicely, trading up from a low of .065 to .1049 for a 61% intraday rip. The move occurred on volume in excess of more than 5X the monthly average.

Remember, we also identified a gap on the SWYW from roughly .11-.16, so we’ll continue to keep this play on watch for as long as a run to fill that gap seems plausible.

Halycon Resources Corp. HK

We were quite accurate in our assessment of HK’s condition in Monday morning’s premarket report. The observations we relayed at the time were that: “Not only is the stock coming off of a new annual low registered on Thursday, but… five members of management filed Form-4′s indicating the purchase of shares at .26. Both occurrences qualify HK for an extended-term recovery watch.”

Over the course of this week we’ve liked the strides HK has made toward that recovery, running from Monday’s low of .2233 on up to a new high of .337 yesterday. That represents a respectable three-session swing of 51%

As you can see on the included chart below, there appears to still be room for the present run to grow, so we’ll be watching out for the stock to record higher highs and higher lows in coming sessions.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Ideas & More

Options Ideas

With stocks characteristically lagging a bit as we head into the holiday break, and figuring to do so until the turn of the new year, we’re going to zero in on a couple of potential options plays.

Celgene Corp. CELG

CELG is gapping up into the $120-range this morning, and we will be interested in tracking its activity as things open up today with untraded-upon news of a significant nature. The company achieved a favorable outcome on a long-standing patent dispute which was announced yesterday post-market (View PR).

We will be looking for a possible dip-and-rip scenario, and will want to see the 50DMA of 115.03 hold as support on any pullbacks. Provided it can manage that, we will look to the CELG Weekly* $116-120 Calls for the possibility of some intraday flip opportunities.

*We must remind everyone that Weekly options contracts for this week will expire upon tomorrow’s 1PM Eastern market close.

Spirit Airlines, Inc. SAVE

SAVE is currently striking us as a potential extended-term swing-trade candidate. Despite already having experienced a sharp uptrend at the beginning of this month to rebound off of its annual lows, the stock is still trading at roughly half of its 52-week high. The possibility of a protracted recovery is very real, in our opinion.

SAVE January 15th $40 & 45 Calls are going to be the contracts that we will be placing on watch this morning, and for the next few weeks.

Additionally, as we’ve pointed out on the chart below, there is a significant gap from roughly $45-49. The filling of this gap would undoubtedly produce serious gains in the aforementioned options.

Swift Energy Co. SWYW

Speaking of large chart gaps, we’ve noticed one on SFYW, which has managed to rebound after falling off a cliff a couple of sessions back. We’ve identified the gap on the following snapshot:

We’ll go ahead and put SFYW on our radars over the next several sessions; a return to pre-gap PPS levels would spell a double-bagger from the current price.
