Blue Horseshoe Stocks: GWPH, GRNH Updates & More

GW Pharmaceuticals, Inc. GWPH

Yesterday morning, we suggested our readers pay attention to the activity in GWPH, which had just published a blockbuster PR regarding top-line success in a late-stage trial of a cannabis-derived treatment (>>View PR).

The breakthrough nature of the study caught many people’s eyes, and throughout the course of the day’s news cycle, the story got significant national attention from multiple media outlets.

As we’d mentioned in our premarket report yesterday, we were going to do some cherry-picking, waiting for the gap-up to lead to an early dip (which it did), and then track in-the-money calls. To give an idea of the sort of scenario that was possible, the GWPH $75 Calls ran from 7.70-16.70 (+116%)

We’ll continue monitoring in-the-money calls in the $75-85 range, and if GWPH appears to want to break $90, consider rolling our strike price up to that level.

GreenGro Technologies, Inc. GRNH

The national attention cast upon GW Pharma also brought some nice activity into other cannabis-related plays, and GRNH was one of them. We’ve got an established history of tracking this stock that stretches back for years. A search of our archive shows that this morning marks the 35th occasion on which we’ve mentioned the stock.

The most recent of those mentions came this past Wednesday, when we tagged it in our morning watchlist, after which time we observed a low of .02.

Yesterday, the stock rode the wave of attention for the sector to an impressive 62% rip as it ran from .0215-.0349. It also marked a total swing of 74% over the low we witnessed last week.

Added Note: We prepared a list of some other marijuana stocks to monitor more closely in the light of heightened investor awareness of the sector: CANV, CBDS, CANN, CNBX

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Review, Other Updates

Options Review

Just to refresh our readers’ memories, we highlighted a range of call contracts for three separate plays on Friday, and we’re pleased to report that sizable gains were there for the taking regardless of which idea was chosen. It marked the continuation of a flawless streak of such ideas that we offered up over the past few weeks.

Our tracked calls and the magnitude of the gains that were available were as follows:

SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) Weekly $199-202 Calls – We’ve successfully played the SPY so many times it doesn’t even bear counting, and Friday was no different. From the low end of our range to the high, gains of 80-427% were made.

Finisar Corp FNSR Weekly $15 and $16 Calls – An earnings beat made the gains in FNSR calls possible, with the $15’s running 88%, and the $16’s making a 92% upswing.

Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc. ULTA Weekly $175-185 Calls – Last but not least, we had the ULTA contracts on our watchlist bank gains running from 59-117%

Again, it was yet another great week for options, and we’ll be doing everything in our power to keep the streak alive with some more ideas this week so be sure to stay tuned!

Friday’s Stock Gainers

In addition to our great success with options plays from Friday’s morning report, we had a number of other intraday movers which were also highlighted.

Propanc Health Group Corp. PPCH

This was our top-billed mention on Friday, having been following it for most of last week. A string of solid performances led the stock on a great intraweek run to that point which spanned from our observed low of .0188 to .037 (+97%) in just a few sessions.

We saw even more gains tacked on there during Friday’s trading, wherein we witnessed another nice intraday pop from the daily low of .0355 to .0516 (+45%), and the high extended our total observed range to an impressive 174% in a matter of four sessions.

_____

Mexus Gold US (MXSG)

Mexus was another point of discussion in Friday’s newsletter, and it too saw appreciable gains on the day.

We’d already been very familiar with the stock after tracking over a more than 1000% move in early February. We then re-tagged it the Wednesday before last and subsequently witnessed a 61% swing from .011-.018.

Friday’s session brought a continuation of that run from .017 to a high of .0299, a 71% intraday rip, and increased the total swing range to 172%

_____

Spectrascience, Inc. SCIE

SCIE was included in Friday’s tracklist and the stock would end up trading in a range from .003 to .0047, for total possible intraday gains of up to 56% on slightly heavier than normal volume.

It also managed to close just a tick below the high of day, so we’ll keep an eye peeled for the possibility of momentum spillover into this new trading week.

GW Pharmaceuticals, Inc. GWPH

We want to pin GWPH to our tracklist after catching a significant PR coming across the wires this morning. Late-stage studies on a cannabidiol (CBD) treatment of a rare pediatric disease has yielded positive results, and the stock has thus far gapped up over 100% in the premarket.

We’ll take our classic stance of monitoring for a possible dip-and-rip situation and look to get positioned in some in-the-money Calls, dependent upon where the bounce occurs.

LONDON, March 14, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GW Pharmaceuticals plc (GWPH) (GWP.L) (“GW,” “the Company” or “the Group”), a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing novel therapeutics from its proprietary cannabinoid product platform, announces the positive results of the first pivotal Phase 3 study of its investigational medicine Epidiolex® (cannabidiol or CBD) for the treatment of Dravet syndrome.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Updates on PPCH, Options & More

Propanc Health Group Corp. PPCH

We played PPCH like a fiddle this week, after calling attention to it in Tuesday morning’s premarket report. That morning, we observed a low of .0188 and the stock hasn’t looked back since. What followed has been three consecutive sessions of higher highs and higher lows.

Yesterday’s intraday performance alone was quite respectable, with PPCH running from a daily low of .0225 to a new high of .037. That represented a spike of 64% on the day, and a total increase of 97% over our observed low from Tuesday.

We’ll be interested in PPCH as long as it maintains support above the current 50DMA (.019), while the next bank of resistance is sitting at the 200DMA at .042.

Dollar General, Inc. (DG)

We offered our two cents on how to take advantage of Dollar General’s earnings beat yesterday, and that was with the DG Weekly $78-80.50 Calls. With the exception of the 80.50’s, which didn’t trade much volume, every one of the contracts in our target range exploded for exponential gains!

$78 Calls – Trading Range: .55-5.00 – Max Gain: 809%
$78.50 Calls – Trading Range: .40-4.70 – Max Gain: 1075%
$79 Calls – Trading Range: .60-3.53 – Max Gain: 488%
$79.50 Calls – Trading Range: .27-2.10 – Max Gain: 678%
$80 Calls – Trading Range: .66-2.79 – Max Gain: 323%

Bonus Options Ideas*:

SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) – Weekly $199-202 Calls

Finisar Corp FNSR – Weekly $15 and $16 Calls

Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc. ULTA – Weekly $175-185 Calls

*As we always do, let us warn our readers o the extreme caution which must be exercised by anyone attempting to trade weekly contracts on Friday. It’s a high risk proposition, and not for the faint of heart!

Mexus Gold US MXSG

We also want to take a second and update readers on another of our recent successes. MXSG started appearing on our radars back on February 5th when it was as low as .0016. In a little over a month’s time we’ve witnessed a 1025% gain (a/o yesterday’s .018 high).

Those who may have missed that original alert still could have caught our reminder this week on Wednesday. The stock was trading as low as .011 at the time, and at yesterday’s high mark, we’d seen a two-session swing of 64%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: BBLU Update & More

Blue Earth, Inc. BBLU – Update

While we most commonly look for short-term, quick-strike trading opportunities, every so often we’ll sneak in a longer-term play, and that’s just what we did on Tuesday of last week with BBLU.

BBLU had just begun to undergo a massive selloff with no prompt from a filing or news release. This caused us to take notice and tag the stock for extended observation. Our exact words were “We’ll go ahead and reserve a slot on our radar screens for BBLU with an extended bottom-watch designation. It’s far better to show up to the party early and be ready to strike immediately upon the slightest hint of a rebound.”

As it turns out, we were absolutely spot-on in our assessment of BBLU and how to approach it. After ultimately bottoming out at a low of .04 at the end of last week, the recovery has been a thing of beauty. BBLU caught fire and ran back to a subsequent high of .23, regaining its lost ground just as we suspected. That’s an incredible 475% swing!

As we point out on the chart below, things are still looking ripe for yet another leg-up, so we’ll keep a keen eye on BBLU in the sessions ahead.

Added Notes:

Speaking of bottom-plays, we have a couple of other familiar stocks that are just now trading at their own recent lows, and could be in line for recoveries.

We’ve been tagging them in our extended watchlists recently, and we’re going to have them both on a more intensive watch moving forward.

Axion Power International, Inc. AXPW

Skyline Medical, Inc. SKLN

Fresh Options Idea

We’ll look to further our success with options plays this week with an idea we feel has good potential based on a favorable earnings report.

Dollar General, Inc. (DG) is gapping up this morning into the $79-range, so we’re going to be on the lookout for a possible dip-and-rip situation, whereupon we’ll be tracking DG Weekly $78-80.50 Calls for possible daytrade and/or swing trades into tomorrow’s session.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Tuesday’s Gainers, Options Recap & More

Yesterday’s Movers

While Tuesday’s activity was more subdued than the landmark session we had on Monday, we did manage to find major success with our options trading ideas, as well as the following stocks which made moderate moves to the upside:

Propanc Health Group Corp. PPCH – PPCH is a stock we’ve talked about on several occasions in the past, and it continued its ascent off of recently established annual lows following its inclusion in yesterday’s morning report.

The stock traded in a range from .0188 to .026, an intraday pop totaling 38%, and it did so on volume which came in at nearly quadruple the 3-month average. It also closed just a few ticks below the HOD, so we’ll certainly have a continued spot on our watchlist reserved for PPCH for the time being.

_____

Black Stallion Oil & Gas, Inc. BLKG – Traders with a quick trigger finger could have taken advantage of the rapid move made by BLKG right out of the starting gate yesterday, with its spike from .08 to .12. The run was, however, relatively short-lived as compared to the previously mentioned play.

Options Recap

Our options calls (and puts!) turned out to be the stars of the show yesterday, as we were mentioning above. As our regular readers are surely aware, we’ve developed the keen ability to spot short-term options opportunities with hawk-like acuity, and that fact was on full display once again.
