Blue Horseshoe Stocks: VSTM, KTOV Recaps & More

Verastem, Inc. VSTM

With impressive new highs being printed yesterday we thought it was a good time to swing back around and recap the recent progress of a stock we’ve been tracking since early this spring. A quick look at the VSTM tag in our archives reveals that we began tracking this play with a mention in our premarket report on March 24th at which time the stock saw a low of 1.59 and never went any lower. That was followed by another reminder just a few weeks ago when the stock was trading in the 2.10’s.

Despite the usual fluctuations, the stock has been in an ascending wedge pattern on the chart from our initial highlight, generally trading in an upward direction and yesterday, hit new highs of 3.75. From our observed low of 1.59 that works out to a total increase of 142% For those who may have only caught the most recent mention, gains of up to 95% were still attainable as of yesterday’s new high.

Kitov Pharmaceutical Holdings, Inc. KTOV

We included KTOV in yesterday morning’s premarket report after picking it up on our routine morning scan. The stock responded with a very nice daily performance.

From a low of 1.80 it ripped 100% to 2.70 for a perfect double-bagger, and it did so on extreme high volume on the order of 155X the monthly average. With that kind of price action and liquidity, we’ll be certain to keep close tabs on KTOV as we close out this holiday-shortened week.

ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (SVXY) – Options Idea

After some positive jobs numbers went out this morning, we want to signal a range of options in the SVXY, which is one of the funds we use as a market analog. A bullish session for the markets as a whole could spell some nice gain opportunities in the SVXY Weekly $152-154 Calls*.

*We don’t include mentions of weekly options contracts on a Friday without explicitly warning our readers every time. Trading weekly options at the end of the week is a highly risky proposition that should never be attempted by beginning or novice traders!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MSDI Recap, PEP Options & More

Monster Digital, Inc. MSDI

We re-tagged MSDI for observation in yesterday morning’s premarket watchlist, and the stock ended up making a pretty good jump right out of the starting gate on a surge of huge volume to new new highs. This is a play that we first mentioned a few weeks back on June 19th, when it was trading in the .40-.50 range.

Yesterday it initially ran from 1.53 to its new high of 2.35 for an intraday swing of 54% though it didn’t manage to hold much of its advance into the close. Still, when all was said and done, MSDI ended up being the NASDAQ’s top gainer of the day, traded nearly sixty times its monthly average volume, and extended our total observed range since our first alert to a very respectable 408%

Pepsico, Inc. PEP – Options Ideas

Pepsi has been on a bit of a downturn of late, and despite its bearish moves of the past couple of weeks, we took notice of the fact that it has come down to rest around its 50-day moving average. The last time the stock spent any appreciable amount of time trading below that average, was more than four months ago.

Compound that with a chance for a boost from its scheduled quarterly earnings call next week (07/11), and it makes us interested to track some PEP options on the chance that the stock makes a rebound as we suspect it might.

We’ll take a look at the PEP Weekly $115 Calls for potential day/swing trades this week, and keep tabs on the PEP 07/14 $116 and $117 Calls in the event of a run into and/or following earnings this coming Tuesday.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PIXY Review & More

ShiftPixy, Inc. PIXY

As we were mentioning on Monday morning, we included PIXY in Friday’s report on its first ever trading day. Generally speaking we don’t tend to cast our lot in with brand new IPO’s, but a trusted source in our network gave us a heads-up on PIXY, and didn’t let us down.

We of course passed it along to our readers immediately in our premarket report on Friday, and the stock, after two trading days has made some really nice progress.

From the initial opening price of 6.30 we observed in PIXY, it went on to hit a high of 9.70 to kick off the short trading week on Monday. That marks a two-day swing of 54% for this newly-trading juggernaut. We’ll continue to be on the lookout for PIXY to keep recording higher base levels of support.

Opexa Therapeutics, Inc. OPXA

An honorable mention from Monday’s report is OPXA, especially considering that sessions just prior to a holiday break are typically low-key affairs.

The stock put up a solid intraday performance, running 35% from a low of a dollar up to 1.35, and pulling back into the close at 1.15. However, premarket activity this morning has seen the stock trade back to just below Monday’s high. This is one we’ll want to keep on our radar for the time being.

Aphria, Inc. APHQF

We’ve been familiar with APHQF for quite a time, but today will be the first occasion we’ve actually mentioned it in our reports.

Today, we wanted to point out that the company released two PR’s yesterday, the more significant of which was the announcement of a 1-year cannabis supply deal with a licensed Canadian medical provider which will bring upwards of $5M in revenue beginning midway through next year. We’ll provide links to both PR’s so you can check them out for yourself.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: HUGE Day on Friday & More

Recapping Our HUGE Day on Friday

We had winners cropping up all across the board on Friday, with our options idea, as well as a couple stocks from our watchlist all having really solid sessions to close out the week, the month, and the 2nd Quarter.

Nike, inc. NKE – We signaled our interest in a range of Nike calls, and were not disappointed in the results. Our targets were the 07/07 $55.50-57 Calls and they all posted considerable gains on the day.

$55.50 Calls – Range: 1.89-4.01 – Max Gain: 112%
$56 Calls – Range: .98-3.33 – Max Gain: 240%
$56.50 Calls – Range: .77-2.95 – Max Gain: 283%
$57 Calls – Range: .51-2.52 – Max Gain: 394%

NKE wasn’t the first set of options ideas we crushed last week. We also tagged contracts in the DRI and CBI chains that subsequently went on multi-bag runs. As always, we strive to deliver a varied range of ideas for traders, and options are a huge part of that.

Digital Power Corp. DPW – After tagging it in our watchlist in Friday’s premarket report, DPW had a very respectable intraday swing right out the gate that morning. The stock ran from a low of .65 and reached as high as 1.05, which represents a 62% pop.

The stock couldn’t sustain more than half of that gain into the close, however it is trading up slightly in the premarket today. We’ll want to continue to monitor this play, watching for the building of higher base levels of support over the course of this short and divided holiday week.

ShiftPixy, Inc. PIXY – Speaking of solid runners from Friday’s report that are showing signs of bullish premarket activity today, we’ve also got PIXY, a stock that IPO’d on Friday. A close contact in our vast network of traders gave us the heads up on the commencement of trading in PIXY, and we took the opportunity to pass it along to our readers by including it in our watchlist.

We weren’t sorry that we did, as its first day of trading was very positive. From its opening price of 6.30, PIXY traded up to 7.74, for a respectable intraday rise of 23%, nearly all of which it held into the close. This morning, the stock is gapping up in the premarket, having already hit a new high of 8.48 and extended our observed range to 35%

We’re quite anxious to see how this new stock will progress from here, even if the timing of tomorrow’s holiday isn’t ideal. If PIXY continues to be a huge hit with the investment community, just remember, you heard it here first!

The Players Network PNTV

Given the fact that it streaked to new all time highs to close out the week on Friday, we want to swing back around to pat ourselves on the back heartily for PNTV.

We originally brought this stock to our readers back in October of last year, after which time the stock was trading for as little as .012. Flash forward to Friday of last week, and the stock has rocketed all the way to .127 marking an incredible increase of 958%

However, even if you’re newer to our reports and only caught our most recent alert on PNTV on June 13th, you still had the opportunity for profits of up to 34% as the range in that time span ran from .0951 to the new high of.127. With the stock firmly blue sky territory, there’s no telling where this ride will end up!

Additionally, Nevada’s recreational marijuana sales kicked off over the weekend, so that ramps up the intrigue with this play, considering the fact that the company was recently grated two licenses to supply recreational consumers in that state.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPEX, Options Recaps & More

Spherix Corp. SPEX

After initially signaling our interest in SPEX on June 20th, we’ve seen quite a run out of the stock as its gone from a low of .9505, and streaked to new highs this week.

SPEX gained some good ground on Wednesday, and yesterday morning we urged readers to look out for a momentum continuation– that’s precisely what came to pass. From daily low of 2.83 the stock streaked to 4.75. That went down as an intraday push of 68% and a total increase since we’ve been tracking this play amounting to a whopping 400% in barely a week’s time.

Volume remained strong, with SPEX trading more than 40X the monthly average volume on the day. We’ll want to see it continue to build higher base levels of support and hopefully continue to push the upper envelope.

CHF Solutions, Inc. CHFS

Also tagged in yesterday’s premarket report was CHFS, and it too made a pretty good move on the day. Volume was just dribbling in over the course of the morning, but shortly after lunch hour, the stock sprung into action.

From a low of .70 it reached as high as 1.08, which represents a 54% intraday pop. Our observed increase has been extended this morning as well, with premarket trading carrying CHFS even higher. Given the fact that this move was catalyzed by an FDA approval notice, we wouldn’t be surprised at all to see this blossom into a multi-day runner.

Chicago Bridge & Iron Co. CBI – Options Update

On Wednesday morning, we highlight a range of contracts in the CBI chain that we were interested in tracking, the CBI Weekly $20-22 Calls. As happens more often than not when we set our sights on an options play, every single contract has been good for sizable gains since our alert.

$20 Calls – Range: .75-1.90 – Max Gain: 153%
$20.50 Calls – Range: .38-1.30 – Max Gain: 242%
$21 Calls – Range: .25-1.22 – Max Gain: 388%
$21.50 Calls – Range: .20-.80 – Max Gain: 300%
$22 Calls – Range: .11-.55 – Max Gain: 400%
