Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Update, New Idea & More

Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. VRX-  Options Update
 
We wanted to circle back to touch upon an update for the VRX 04/22 $32 Calls we initially slated for observation on Tuesday.  VRX trading activity allowed for us to witness a run from 2.90-3.90 that day, for possible gains of up to 35%

We stated as much in yesterday’s morning report, with the added reminder that we felt certain the scope of those gains would increase, and we were spot-on once again.

For the day we observed a move from 4.25-5.25, a relatively modest 24%, however as measured from the low we saw on Tuesday morning, it marked a two-day swing of 81%, so cheers to those of our readers who were following along with us on this play!


Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA – New Options Idea

Up until yesterday’s session, TSLA had been enjoying an epic rally which began in early February, however, that began to fizzle out over the past couple of days. The stock now appears very top-heavy, and that was confirmed by a fall below its 200DMA yesterday.

In the event that this is a protracted backsliding event, we’re going to want to be ready with a corresponding options trading idea.  We’re going to zero in on contracts in the range of TSLA March 24th $220-215 Puts, which qualify as Weekly contracts*, as the markets are closed tomorrow.

*Please remember, trading weekly options contracts on a Friday is an extreme high risk/high reward proposition, and is recommended for highly experienced traders only.


Celator Pharmaceuticals, Inc. CPXX

CPXX was a point of focus for us last Wednesday, when we caught a hot PR hitting the wires, and despite the stock already being up considerably at that point, we were able to glean a healthy 41% gain out of the stock that first day (from a low of 6.44).

As we’ve kept observing the play over the course of the week, we’ve seen a continual stream of higher highs and higher lows, which culminated in a new high of 12.64 yesterday. In exactly one week’s time, we saw CPXX make an overall swing totaling 96%


Great Basin Scientific, Inc. GBSN

We also want to give ourselves a quick pat on the back for calling GBSN to our readers attention via our extended watchlist yesterday. The stock was experiencing highly abnormal activity due to some FDA News and despite gapping up to the extreme, we still saw a dip-and-rip which carried the stock on an intraday run from .222-.29, a 31% swing.

Unique Pizza & Subs Corp UPZS

UPZS was one of a pair of stocks that we added to our watchlist on Friday that continued to perform well yesterday. We’ve had experience with this play making gains for us in the past as well. We observed a low of .008 in UPZS Friday morning, and yesterday the stock reached a high of .0136. That worked out to a three-session swing of 70% and has come on very high volume.

Yesterday’s move brought the stock to within just a few ticks of its 52-week high of .014. We’ll definitely want to keep a lookout for a breach of that price point, which could certainly lead to what we like to call a Blue Sky Breakout.


NetTalk.com, Inc. NTLK

The other notable mention from Friday’s report came in the form of NTLK, which took an extra couple of sessions to settle in and find support. It did so very early on yesterday morning, and followed up with a steady-gaining performance throughout the course of the day, which led from a low .0023 on up to .006, an intraday swing of 161%

We’ll watch for it to consolidate off of that high and keep our eyes peeled for subsequent rebound opportunities.


Fresh Options Ideas

Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA
–  As we point out on the chart below, we watched as TSLA rejected off of its 50DMA yesterday and went bearish. We’re going to want to stick close and monitor a couple sets of medium-term plays in the event that an extended backslide occurs in coming sessions. We’re looking at four contracts in particular in this case- TSLA 01/11 and 01/18 $180 and $177.50 Puts.

Abercrombie & Fitch Co. ANF

We also want to signal a range of ANF contracts for observation in the wake of this morning’s earnings beat. We’ll look to take advantage of ANF Weekly $29-32 Calls for potential daytrade and intraweek swing-trade opportunities.


Extended Watchlist:
PGEI, VRCI, DEAC, TDCH, AWGI

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ASTI Recap, Options Reminder & More

Trevena, Inc. TRVN

Of all of the plays that we were monitoring via our extended watchlist in yesterday’s premarket report, the most potent intraday performance came from TRVN. The stock had made a nice move in the previous session, had pulled back, and looked primed for another nice move based on the premarket activity we observed.

As the overall markets saw a trend reversal, TRVN made a solid, steady, run from a daily low of 9.21 up to 11.47; that registered as a 25% increase on more than 12X the 3-month average volume.

The stock is increasing further in the premarket today (traded as high as 11.83 thus far), so we might want to look out for the possibility of a slight dip followed by a continuation of yesterday’s momentum.


Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. ASTI

ASTI is a stock we’re very familiar with, as a quick tag search of our archives reveals, we’ve taken advantage of this stock multiple times over the years. A couple of weeks ago, we tagged the stock as a bottom-watch play after noticing it was being beaten back to new 52-week lows.

We stated that ASTI was a prime candidate for a bounceplay, and an extreme item of interest “because when a rebound does occur, it could be very significant.” and we couldn’t have been more spot-on in that assumption.

It’s ultimate low of .10 came just three sessions hence, and the impressive multi-day recovery pushed ASTI as high as .3597 yesterday. That represents an overall swing of 260%


Options Reminder:

Last Thursday just as the markets were becoming highly distressed, we formulated set of longer-term options plays to watch once a market rebound began to occur.

Yesterday, another reversal came to pass, so we just wanted to issue a brief reminder of the potential targets we listed, and are still tracking heavily: 09/18-10/02 Calls in the FB, GPRO, GMCR, AAPL, NFLX, and TSLA chains.


Extended Watchlist:
AXPW & VRA (Nice Moves Yesterday, Still on Watch),
MEI, GBSN, GEVO

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CRGP Recap & More

Calissio Resources Group, Inc. CRGP

Amidst one of the biggest market backslides in years, we were still able to root out a triple-digit gainer from among the chaos. We tagged CRGP in our premarket extended watchlist as a momentum play based on the activity it recorded at the end of last week.

CRGP had enough strength and interest from the trading community to barrel its way from a daily low of .005, cracking through the elusive penny-mark, and setting a high-of-day at .0118. That represents an intraday pop of 136%, and it happened in conjunction with more than 9X the 3-month average volume of shares changing hands on the day.

Following its nice run, the stock pulled back to .0059 into the close, and we will be on the lookout for the possibility that it needs to come back a bit further to fill the gap on the chart from Friday’s close of .0045. So it’s from that level that we’ll look for possible bounce-play opportunities, should CRGP continue to consolidate.


Options Review

With the volatility caused by current market conditions, there was money to be made on both sides of the fence over the course of the day with the general options ideas we offered in our morning report, which were SPY In-the-Money Puts, and UVXY Calls. Here’s an idea of the kind of gains that those selections made available during yesterday’s session:

SPY $190 Puts – Range: 1.48-5.34 – Max Gain: 260%
UVXY $49 Calls – Range: 7.21-19.00 – Max Gain: 164%

We expect the current market to continue to provide similar action and chances for gain, but we wouldn’t expect to see it occur with quite the same volatile conditions as yesterday.

We’ll be looking to go long on big-name options whose stocks have been beaten back severely over the past few sessions. As the market corrects itself, we’ll be monitoring some longer-term options to possibly take advantage of the eventual recovery.

To allot sufficient time for us to see that, we’ll be tracking 09/18-10/02 Calls in the FB, GPRO, GMCR, AAPL, NFLX, and TSLA chains. We’ve banked enormous profits off of every one of these in the past; it’s now just a matter of laying in wait for the next big chances to present themselves.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: OMER Review & More

Omeros Corp. OMER

We had a nice intraday mover in OMER yesterday after we caught the stock gapping up in early trading. Tagging it for observation in our premarket report was definitely a good move as the stock ran straight out of the gate from a low 22.51, and reached as high as 30.21 shortly after 11AM.

That’s an intraday increase of 34% which, for a stock in this price range, is quite impressive. If any of our readers were able to take advantage of the stock’s exceptional daily performance following our alert, we salute you!


Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA – Options Update

We reminded our subscribers yesterday of the options idea we formulated on Monday for TSLA Weekly $250-265 Calls,  highlighting some of the early gains we saw out of contracts in the low end of the range. We also reiterated our interest in tracking the action in that range consistently over the course of the week.

It was a good thing that we did, because TSLA responded in kind, surging past the $260-mark toward the end of the session. As expected, that move was accompanied by some heavy activity within our specified range. Here’s a breakdown of some of the top profit possibilities:

$260 Calls – Range: 1.60-4.20 – Max Gain: 163%
$262.50 Calls – Range: 1.09-2.94 – Max Gain: 170%
$265 Calls – Range: .69-1.97 – Max Gain: 186%


Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. ASTI – Bottom Watch

We’ve taken notice of ASTI this midweek as the stock has been on an absolute backslide for an extended period. One peek at the following snapshot reveals a heavily oversold chart. We’re going to put ASTI on bottom-watch, because when a rebound does occur, it could be very significant.

Cannabis Science, Inc CBIS

It’s been quite a long time since we checked in with CBIS. We’re making note of the stock this morning on the heels of a big PR yesterday with sent it into overdrive. We’ll be on the lookout for a possible continuation of momentum into today’s session.
