Blue Horseshoe Stocks: UA Options Recap & More

Options Update

Under Armour, Inc. UA – For a fresh options idea yesterday, we were taking a look at UA Weekly $45-48 Calls and were provided a good opportunity for some impressive intraday gains beginning early in the session. We were quite pleased with the performance of five out of the six sets of contracts in our observed range. The exception to the rule were the $48 Calls, which weren’t quite pushed into the money (UA high: 47.80). The rest offered up great chances, which were as follows:

$45 Calls – Trading Range: 1.45-3.91 – Max Gain: 170%
$45.50 Calls – Trading Range: 1.25-2.10 – Max Gain: 68%
$46 Calls– Trading Range: .80-1.80 – Max Gain: 125%
$46.50 Calls – Trading Range: .85-1.21 – Max Gain: 42%
$47 Calls – Trading Range: .35-1.00 – Max Gain: 186%
$47.50 Calls – Trading Range: .28-.70 – Max Gain: 150%

FRESH IDEA:

We also want to put arange of options contracts on watch for McDonald’s Corp. MCD on the heels of its earnings beat. We’re going to be tracking the MCD Weekly $125-128 Calls for potential daytrades.

CAUTION: Trading weekly options on Friday is very high risk, as the closing bell signals their expiration. To be attempted by advanced traders only!

Aperture Health, Inc. APRE

When we introduced APRE to our readers on Monday (>>View Report), and at the time we ventured that it may display the same sort of volatility as is characteristic for such a low-float play, and we weren’t disappointed.

The stock offered up multiple chances for intraday gains over the course of the week. Monday brought a nice 59% rip from .027-.0428. Tuesday we saw a 23% swing from .031-.038, and yesterday, a run from .025-.0379 (+52%). In total, 134% in cumulative gains on the week, which is very respectable indeed.

Over the course of this same past week, with respect to its status on OTC Markets, APRE went from bearing a stop sign, to a yield, and has now gone current in an effort to be more transparent. It’s really good to see management doing the right thing for shareholders! We’ll be anxious to follow the progress of this interesting company into the future.

Once more, check out our detailed APRE Report as a place to begin your own due diligence.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options, Bottom-Play Updates & More

Options Updates

We formulated our first options ideas of the week yesterday morning, and unsurprisingly, we hit on each and every one of them. Our acumen when it comes to identifying quick-strike options plays is really top-drawer, a fact to which any of our regular readers can attest.
______

Bank of America Corp. BAC

We took note of BAC 07/15 $15 Calls yesterday, which had extremely high open interest to the point of suspicion on our part. We were right to want to follow the money in this case, because despite the fact that we have designated this a longer-term play, the potential returns were instant. Those contracts traded up from .51-.71 for possible gains of up to 39% on the day.

We’re certain that our observed range is going to increase even further with BAC having cracked the $15-mark here in the premarket this morning. Should the stock follow up yesterday’s session with another bullish performance, things could get very interesting, very quickly.

______

ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures SVXY– Our targets here were the SVXY Weekly $53.50-55 Calls and despite the SVXY closing slightly down on the day, we first witnessed some nice intraday moves to the upside that facilitated opportunities for the following gains:

$53.50 Calls – Trading Range: 1.60-2.10 – Max Gain: 31%
$54 Calls – Trading Range: 1.50-1.70 – Max Gain: 13%
$54.50 Calls– Trading Range: 1.10-1.65 – Max Gain: 50%
$55 Calls – Trading Range: .74-1.25 – Max Gain: 69%
__________

FRESH OPTIONS IDEAS:

We won’t leave you hanging solely with an update from yesterday’s action- we’ve got a couple of fresh ranges to monitor in the GM and UA options chains as well. In both cases we’ve got stocks that are gapping up on the strength of earnings beat this morning. Our corresponding ideas are as follows:

General Motors Co. GM – Weekly $32-34 Calls

Under Armour, Inc. UA – Weekly $45-48 Calls

Bottom-Watchlist Update

We placed RNVA and CLMT on a bottom-watchlist at the end of yesterday morning’s premarket report, following a newly registered 52-week low for each of them on Tuesday. We just wanted to rehash those ideas this morning, as both plays rebounded off of their lows in a stroke of excellent timing on our part.

Rennova Health, Inc. RNVA traded in a range from .57-.70, an intraday gain of 23%, while Calumet Specialty Products Partners CLMT made a 16% move from 4.64-5.39.

Now we’ll just want to verify the reversal in each case by monitoring the stocks in sessions to come for telltale signs of a continued recovery.

______

We’re also going to signal interest in The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. STKS for an extended-term bottom-watch.

Aperture Health, Inc. APRE

We’re circling back to APRE once again this morning, after the stock has logged two nice intraday performances subsequent to our in-depth report on Monday. That morning we saw a nice 59% pop, and yesterday the stock not only managed to maintain support at the previous day’s swing low as we hoped it would, but also made a 23% intraday upswing(.031-.038), not to mention closing at its high of day. That works out to cumulative gains over that two-session span totaling 82%

This morning’s area of focus is going to be the fresh PR that just hit the APRE newswire, regarding wholly-owned sub CSS Alliance, and the striking of a new distribution deal. (Link Below)

We’ll be on the lookout for added attention brought from the PR to potentially give the stock another boost. As we’ve stated previously, due to the low-float, low-volume nature of APRE, the stock is subject to significant swings on relatively little buying pressure.

NEW YORK, April 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ – Aperture Health, Inc. (OTC Markets.com: APRE), is pleased to announce that the company’s wholly owned subsidiary CSS Alliance has formed a worldwide exclusive distribution agreement with House Tech. Co. Ltd to become a hub in the United States to distribute, market and sell new technologies ranging from green solar powered A/C units, and powerless generators, as well as solar energy. >>View Full PR

ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures SVXY

We’ve yet to signal any options ideas this week, which is uncharacteristic for us, so we’re also going to be zeroing in on a possible play in that arena. The markets have been strong of late, with the VIX continuously trending downward, so we’re looking at an inverse analog of that note in SVXY.

Our specific area of interest is going to be the SVXY Weekly $53.50-55 Calls.

Bank of America Corp. BAC

Speaking of possible options plays, we’re also taking note of BAC 07/15 $15 Calls which have been shown to have abnormally high open interest over the past couple sessions. Whenever we see serious cash of this magnitude flow into a set of contracts, it raises our attention. As the saying goes, you’ve got to follow the money! Therefore, we’ll be keeping this set of contracts on a long-term watchlist.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: APRE Recap, Other Updates & More

Aperture Health, Inc. APRE

When we took a glance at the APRE chart in the premarket yesterday morning, we felt confident that there was a possibility of a continued uptrend carried over from Friday’s big move. Our feelings weren’t misplaced, as the stock recorded another nice intraday run beginning right at the opening bell.

From its starting price of .027 APRE broke out to a high of .0428, which registered as a 59% upswing. We then saw a consolidation into the close, exhibiting the type of volatility we’d mentioned in our report, but notably held support above the .03-mark.

We’re going to look for APRE to continue to build higher base levels of support moving forward. We can imagine a play with such technical characteristics providing us further opportunities in sessions ahead, so we’ll want to keep it on close watch.

Updates on Recent Ideas

We get so caught up with our seemingly innumerable interests at times, that we sometimes find ourselves having to backtrack a bit to provide updates on past ideas. Such is the case with the following stocks:

PCS Edventures!.com, Inc. PCSV, which we tabbed for longer-term watch two months ago to the day, ended up making a beautiful upswing of multi-bag proportions. Subsequent to our alert, we witnessed it trading in a range from .025-.14, a 460% move to the upside.

Skyline Medical, Inc. SKLN is a play that we zeroed in on late last month, and it too yielded a sizable move recently. The stock ran from .17-.29 for a comparatively modest but still very solid 71% spike.

Eyes on the Cannabis Sector

Our regular readers are certainly familiar with our repeated tracking of marijuana-related stocks, a pool from which we’ve pulled a great many big-time gainers in the past. We began drawing attention back to the sector in our reports early this spring, and it has really paid off.

GreenGro Technologies, Inc. GRNH – We’ve come back to this one time and time again over a period of years, but began tracking it more heavily beginning in late February. Since then, the general trend has been in a northerly direction, and over the past month or so, things have really begun to kick in high gear. In that span, we’ve seen GRNH run from a low of .0171 to an amazing ten-cent high yesterday. That’s a 485% swing! The stock has gapped up even further today, as high as .12 so far in the premarket, so it’s definitely occupying a portion of our attention this morning.

Terra Tech Corp. TRTC – We began re-alerting TRTC around the same period in late March at which time we observed a low of .2162 , and our most recent reminder came on April 5th. For this play as well, it has been mostly big moves to the upside since then. Yesterday the stock reached .7455, marking a 245% swing over our observed low.

Other big pot-plays that we dialed up near the end of March included Marijuana Company of America, Inc. MCOA and CannLabs, Inc. CANL. We’ve seen multi-bag moves from them as well, culminating in impressive new highs yesterday. MCOA ran from our observed low of .005 to a new high of .012, a gain of 140% while CANL made a move from .167-.449 for a solid 169% rip.

It’s become increasingly apparent over recent weeks that the cannabis industry heat-up we had anticipated is in full-swing. We’re going to need to stay aware and continue to monitor the entire sector, including stocks such as CANN, and CBDS as spring progresses.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Special Report on APRE

Aperture Health, Inc. APRE – Special Report

Our main area of focus as we kick off this trading week is to take an in-depth look at APRE, which is a new item of interest for us. There are a number of reasons why we like this stock, many of them technical, but before we look at the chart, let’s find out more about the company itself.

We’re very interested in the potential of one of the company’s main projects, but to delve into that we need to track back to September, and its completed acquisition of shipping container manufacturer, CSS Alliance, LLC (>>View PR)

CSS Alliance had previously secured a multi-year, worldwide manufacturing agreement with Intermobile Container, an outfit which has designed a ground-breaking innovation in shipping container technology. Enter its namesake product, the Intermobile Container™(>>Product Website)

We’ll post a link to a detailed product video below, but essentially the Intermobile Container™ is what is known as an intermodal container, meaning that because of its unique design, it can be seamlessly accommodated by road, rail, river, and sea shipping implements. They are fully enclosed containers that lower bulk shipping costs considerably, through their unique design and functional versatility. They eliminate the need for costly storage silos and related service products because the unit itself is a fully-contained, stackable, contaminant-preventing ‘mini-silo’.

The following video describes the technology in greater detail:

APRE‘s core mission to acquire and develop exciting new businesses certainly seems to be fulfilled in the case of CSS Alliance and its involvement with the Intermobile Container™, which we feel has the potential to be a disruptive product in the big business that is bulk shipping.
______

Now down to the technicals; in addition to a few bullish signals on the current APRE chart, we hasten to first point out the characteristics of the underlying share structure. We’d classify APRE as a low-volume, low-float play, and history has taught us that stocks like these have a tendency to trade with the kind of volatility for which we are always on the lookout to take advantage. Stocks of this sort tend to move up on a puff of air, needing relatively little buying pressure to effect a major swing to the upside. Case in point, Friday’s session where a sizable amount of volume flowed into APRE, and just like that- an 80% intraday rip.

You can find a link to the video chart we prepared on APRE below, but here’s a look at a static chart as well. You can see the bullish indicators to which we were referring, with the RSI making a strong move past the 50-line, while the MACD is in the midst of executing a bullish cross.

Even after Friday’s big move, as you can see on the chart, APRE is capable of making some nice swings to the upside so we’ll want to really keep our eyes peeled for the possibility of another breakout over the next several sessions. We’ll also be anxious to monitor progress with regard to the company’s near-term goal of achieving a book value that qualifies for uplisting to the NASDAQ.
