Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ATNM Recap & More

Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ATNM

In the midst of what has begun as a relatively slow short week, ATNM has stood out as a solid play. We tagged this stock for observation in last Thursday’s report, and the subsequent move has been quite noteworthy.

Entering into the holiday weekend, we had witnessed a low of 2.78, and yesterday the stock jumped to a new high of 4.34. Considering it took just three sessions for the pick to provide, that 56% swing is quite significant.

ATMN is among a wide array of companies that will be appearing at this year’s Marcum Microcap Conference in NYC  For those unable to attend the company will be providing a live webcast of its presentation (05/28 @ 10:30am Eastern) Read the news release for details  >>> VIEW PR

PlasmaTech Biopharma, Inc. PTBI

Speaking of companies presenting at the upcoming Marcum Microcap Conference whose stocks have recently featured in our reports, we’re turning our attention back to PTBI this morning.

We followed the stock to a nice gain opportunity early last week (+35%), and after an interim period of consolidation, we’re seeing a sizable gap-up occurring in this morning’s premarket activity.

As you can see on the chart, PTBI has built toward what is known as a Bullish Flag, which can be an indicator of more gains ahead. We’ll look for the stock to hold support above yesterday’s swing low (8.55) in order to maintain the trend.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AAPL Recap, MDCN News & More

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options Recap

To start things off this week we want to look back to Friday’s report wherein we suggested that $131 and $132 Weekly Calls would be in play for possible daytrading opportunities, and our assertion was spot-on. The trading range on the $131 Calls was from .63-1.98, which was an overall spike of 214%, while the $132’s jumped from .14 to 1.00; a total increase of 614%

Those ranges, while extremely impressive, only reflect a fraction of the total possible gains for folks with daytrading ability. As you can see on the following chart snapshots of Friday’s intraday activity, these AAPL Calls were both what we commonly refer to as a “Flipper’s Dream”. Not one, but three big swings could have provided major ammunition for top-shelf profits.

Medican Enterprises, Inc. MDCN

MDCN is a marijuana-related stock that we’ve tracked in the past that has cropped up with a noteworthy PR this morning that we think our readers ought to check out.

Additionally, following a huge a huge run in late March, the stock has been under serious consolidation so it also qualifies as a potential bottom play as well. This will definitely be one to keep on our radars this week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AVEO Recap, Options Ideas & More

AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc. AVEO

We’ve tracked AVEO in our reports from Wednesday and yesterday to what has turned out to be a strong intraweek swing. From Wednesday’s low of 1.50, the stock surged to a new 52-week high of 3.50 early in yesterday’s session, during which it traded more than thirty times its 3-month average.

It marked a two-day move of 133% which began when the company released favorable drug trial results on Wednesday. Strangely, the PR (View It Here) seemed to go largely unnoticed by the investment community until yesterday. Despite that fact, we showed up early to the party, and had a heck of time watching others catch on, producing yesterday’s annual high-setting push.

After consolidating into the close, AVEO appears to be gapping up slightly this morning, so we’ll stay tuned to the price action as the session unfolds.

Holiday Island Holdings, Inc. HIHI

We played HIHI like a fiddle this week; it’s yet another example of us providing our readers with advanced notice on prime-time chances to profit.

We alerted folks to the situation in our premarket report on Wednesday, at which time the stock was trading at a low of .0015. Word of a massive share reduction via purchase and return to treasury hit the newswires early, providing us with all the incentive we needed to include it in our daily interests. HIHI proceeded to run more than 70% over the course of that afternoon.

Then yesterday, we caught wind of a promotion on the stock with which we had no involvement, and it prompted us to remain focused on HIHI. We mentioned that the promo might produce “an impeccably-timed boost to extend our profits as we look to take them off the table” and it worked like a charm. The stock ended up touching a new high of .003, marking a two-session swing of exactly 100%.

Morning Gapper Watchlist
While a Friday preceding a holiday weekend is usually a relatively subdued affair, there are a couple of items hitting our scanner that we’ll be monitoring for opportunities.  Each of the following is gapping up in the premarket:

Emerald Oil, Inc. EOX
We drew up a chart to illustrate the situation on EOX. The stock was kicked hard during yesterday’s session so we’ll be on alert for some rebound action today.

Oncothyreon, Inc. ONTY
ONTY is the other gapper that will retain a portion of our of our focus this morning.

Quick Options Trading Ideas:

 Apple, Inc. AAPL has been on a wicked run all week, so we’ll watch for a dip-and-rip scenario; the $131 and $132 Weekly Calls should be in play today.

For Petroleo Brasiliero SA (Petrobras) PBR, we’re going to zero in on $9.00 & $9.50 Weekly Calls.
