Blue Horseshoe Stocks: APTY Recap & More

APT Systems, Inc. APTY

We reasserted our interest in APTY in yesterday’s morning report, after initially mentioning the stock on Friday prior to its respectable run of 38% that day from .0032 to .0044.

We were right to do so, as the stock opened up the new trading week with a bang. Maintaining support on a slight early morning dip at Friday’s swing high of .0044, the stock spent the remainder of the session on a steady uptrend.

Ultimately we witnessed a surge to a new high of .0069, which marked an intraday surge of 57%, and from our observed low of .0032 on Friday, it represents a two-day overall upswing of 116%

We’ll continue to have an eye peeled here, and APTY can sustain our interest by maintaining support at or above .0056 on any pullbacks.

Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc. NWBO

We also want to make a quick note of NWBO, which we tagged in yesterday’s report as well, and will want to keep it on our radars moving forward for signs of further upward movement.

The move we observed was relatively modest, an intraday jump of 28% from .5018-.64, but more importantly, the stock carried over the momentum from the previous session, and we’re going to be on the lookout for that to continue. We’ll have a spot reserved on our tracker for NWBO as long as it continues to register these higher highs and higher lows.

Bottom-Watchlist

In lieu of our typical ‘Extended Watchlist’, today we’re just going to go with a bottom-watchlist. The following plays are trading near recent relative lows, and qualify for oversold status.

MGT Capital Investments, Inc. MGT – We’ll have MGT on a passive watch, as it seems like it could have a little farther to fall before making a rebound. We’ll look for it to ultimately find support and make a reversal at or above the current 200DMA of 1.58.

The company has just been denied the issuance of 43.8M shares by the NYSE regulatory office that are needed to close MGT’s acquisition of D-Vasive. The eventual rebound may possibly coincide with the resolution of this temporary roadblock. (>>View PR)

ACRE Realty LP (AIII) – As a result of trepidation over interest rate hike speculation, Real Estate Investment Trusts like AIII have been taking a pounding. As the aforementioned play, there could still be some room to the downside, so we’ll have to keep a careful watch for a bottom over the next few sessions.
______

NovaVax, Inc. NVAX – We also want to provide an update on another bottom-play we brought to the table yesterday morning. We noticed a mega gap-down on the chart as the stock fell from the $8-range to the $1-range on Friday, and to start out the week, NVAX did manage to record higher highs and higher lows, although there has been no major PPS increase just yet. We’ll continue to monitor for a more significant rebound off of its recent bottom.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Bottom-Plays, Options & More

Novavax, Inc. NVAX

Our first item of interest this morning is going to be NVAX. This play set off our alarms on Friday when the stock was downgraded on the heels of ill-received trial data on the company’s RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) vaccine.

Whenever we see knee-jerk reactions take place, and Friday’s backslide of more than 80% certainly qualifies in that category, we like to place the battered stocks on watch for the subsequent recoveries that occur as often as not.

With the monster gap that Friday’s activity left on the chart (1.20’s to 8.10’s), it will be very interesting to see how the stock responds as we kick off a fresh trading week. Prior to that it had been on a fairly steady four month uptrend that almost reached the 100%-mark. All these factors playing in at once are plenty enough to reserve a slot for NVAX on our radars in coming sessions.

Netflix, Inc. NFLX – Options Idea

We’ve tracked NFLX options to great success on multiple occasion in the past, and today seems like a good time to take another run at it. Along with being on the uptrend for the past six or seven weeks, the stock breached its 200DMA in a bullish manner on Friday, a signal that further advances could be in the cards this week. NFLX is gapping up slightly in the premarket this morning.

In accordance, we want to have an options idea ready and waiting to take advantage should a continued surge be in the cards. The targets we want to zero in on are the NFLX Weekly $99.50-101 Calls for potential swing trades.

APT Systems, Inc. APTY

We alerted our readers to a PR put out by APTY on Friday alluding to the planned purchase of shares out of the open market by the company’s CEO. That coincided with a reasonable amount of momentum that the stock had carried into that session from the one prior.

We mentioned that we liked the chances of the stock seeing some further increases for Friday’s session, and we weren’t disappointed on that front. APTY traded in a solid range from .0032 to .0044, a respectable intraday gain totaling 38%

We’ll remain interested in this play provided it can maintain support above Friday’s swing-low of .0032.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: WYNN Recap & More

Wynn Resorts, Ltd. WYNN

We saw an opportunity to jump on some quick-strike WYNN calls yesterday morning,despite the stock already having made a ten-dollar move to the upside since we first began tracking it at the beginning of the month. The Macau gaming industry is booming, and the positive outlook has related stocks doing so as well.

We targeted the WYNN Weekly $108-110 Calls and regardless of the chosen strike-point from within that range, hefty single-session gains were there for the taking. All three sets of contracts made major moves:

$108 Calls – Range: .55-2.05 – Max Gain: 272%
$109 Calls – Range: .40-1.58 – Max Gain: 295%
$110 Calls – Range: .20-1.10 – Max Gain: 450%

The stock appears to be consolidating slightly in early trading this morning, but we’ll be on the lookout for further activity in these plays provided it holds support above $108 on the dip.

APT Systems, Inc. APTY

We’ve taken notice of APTY this morning, which has built up a nice little head of steam in recent sessions. The latest run has been helped along by yesterday’s PR that the CEO intends to buy shares out of the open market to increase her position, as well as already having what we consider a tight share structure.

Based on those factors, its positioning on the chart, and the volatility which is characteristic of such a subpenny play, we’re going to want to keep an eye peeled for more solid swings to the upside in sessions to come.

Misonix, Inc. MSON

We’re also looking at MSON this morning, which we like for the setup of the chart. As you can see on the snapshot below, a major selloff occurred yesterday, and the stock is making its way down to a previous level of support, which we’ve pointed out.

We’ll be looking for it maintain above that $5-level, and some subsequent bounce action. At present the stock is screaming toward heavily oversold territory, so it’ll be interesting to see how it unfolds from here, all things considered.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options, Bottom-Plays & More

OPTIONS IDEAS

Wynn Resorts, Ltd. WYNN – This play was part of a casino-related watchlist we put together at the beginning of this month, and it has essentially spent the last two weeks in a constant uptrend, culminating in a new 52-week high yesterday.

Despite having been in blue sky territory for so long, we’re still interested in setting a range of options calls to track over the next couple of sessions. The outlook on Macau gaming is bullish, and as a result, a lot of folks have casino stocks like this one on high alert. We’ll have the WYNN Weekly $108-110 Calls on watch today and tomorrow.

______

Aerie Pharmaceuticals, Inc. AERI – We’ve got a news-related runner in AERI this morning, which is soaring in the premarket today on the heels of positive trial results for its eye pressure drug.

To be ready to take advantage of the intraday activity in this play, we’ll be monitoring the AERI Weekly $30 & $35 Calls for possible daytrade opportunities.

AMC Networks, Inc. AMCX

We’re interested in flagging AMCX today after noticing the stock has just fallen to a new annual low on Monday, and indeed its lowest prices since January of 2013.

In the ensuing two sessions, higher highs and higher lows have been achieved off of that bottom. The stock is heavily oversold at present, and we’re going to place it on a long-term recovery watch.

Axion Power International, Inc. AXPW

We’ve been awaiting a bottom on AXPW for quite some time now, and it appears to have finally come this week. Just like the above-mentioned play, the stock hit a new 52-week low on Monday, and has made some steady progress in making its way off of that bottom over the past couple sessions.

This stock was trading at the .03-level less than three weeks ago, and a return to that area on the chart would be good for multi-bag gains from current levels, so we’ll be continuing to keep a close eye on this one as well.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Momentum Plays & More

Top Ships, Inc. TOPS

We are going to place TOPS on bottom-bounce watch this morning. Yesterday the stock held in there just above its 50DMA, and recent support levels. Earlier this summer, the stock shot up exponentially so the ability to make drastic moves to the upside is present.

We’re going to throw TOPS on the radar and will remain interested in tracking its progress provided it holds above its recent swing low of 3.67. As you can see on the included chart snapshot, the MACD appears to be converging toward an impending bullish cross, to that will be a signal to watch for as well.

Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc. NWBO

Here’s a stock that has had a whirlwind couple of sessions this week, breaking a long pattern of consolidation with two extremely bullish sessions.

We’re going to want to place NWBO on watch as a possible momentum play on the chance that it continues this multi-day run. As long as it can maintain support above yesterdays low which coincides with the 50DMA at .43, we’ll be watching for more solid intraday moves.

Agritek Holdings, Inc. AGTK

We began tracking AGTK at the beginning of August (08/02), and most recently reminded readers about the stock yesterday morning.

What followed was a nice intraday pop, and new overall high as it ran from .0026 to .0035, for a 35% swing. From the .0013 low we observed just after our initial alert on the play last month, yesterday’s high represented a total increase of 169%

It both cracked and held above its 200DMA into the close and the RSI just managed to breach into the power zone. We’ll be anxious to continue tracking its progress moving forward following these bullish signals.
