Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SHRK Recap, Options Updates & More

SharkReach, Inc. SHRK

Our alert to our readers yesterday morning on the situation surrounding SHRK was absolutely spot-on. We tagged it as a momentum-mover and explained that we’d be on the lookout for an early dip followed by another run like the one that occurred the previous day.

Events played out exactly as we ascertained, with the sleight dip to the daily low of .30 occurring first thing in the morning followed by a rebound and an impressive run to a high of .66 toward the end of the session.  It marked an intraday upswing of 120% and occurred on well over five times the 30-day average volume, with the close coming in just four cents below the high-of-day.

We’ll remain interested in SHRK as long as it continues to build higher base levels of support moving forward.

Facebook, Inc. FB – Options Update

Yesterday morning, our notion that FB was in line for a significant tumble proved to be the right idea. We signaled a range of both short and intermediate term options contracts to correspond  with our bearish feelings on the stock, and every single target yielded the chance for premium intraday gains.

Our short term range included the Weekly $113-110 Puts and the longer-term idea was concerning the Feb 19th $109-105 Puts. Here’s a breakdown of the kinds of gains that were made possible by our timely alert.

Weeklies:

$113 Puts – Trading Range: 1.85-3.91  – Max Gain: 111%
$112 Puts – Trading Range: 1.27-3.15 – Max Gain: 148%
$111 Puts – Trading Range: .93-2.41 – Max Gain: 159%
$110 Puts – Trading Range: .47-1.91  – Max Gain: 306%

02/19 Expiration:

$109 Calls– Trading Range: 1.98-3.13 – Max Gain: 58%
$108 Calls – Trading Range: 1.67-2.76 – Max Gain: 65%
$107 Calls – Trading Range: 1.27-2.33 – Max Gain: 83%
$106 Calls – Trading Range: .99-2.00 – Max Gain: 102%
$105 Calls – Trading Range: .91-1.71 – Max Gain: 88%

We can expect to see further moves out of the these contracts as FB is down even further in the premarket this morning.

Bonus Idea: To close out the week we’ll also have our eyes on Weekly LNKD $140-125 Puts. Despite an earnings beat, reduced guidance is leading to a premarket backslide for LinkedIn.

Now Corp. NWPN

We also want to quickly congratulate any of our readers who may have caught our tag of NWPN in Wednesday morning’s premarket report. Our observed low on that day was .002, and as of yesterday’s impressive new high of .007, we had witnessed a two-day swing totaling 250%

Shark Reach, Inc. SHRK

We’re going to be tagging SHRK for observation as a momentum mover this morning after noticing the huge activity in the stock yesterday. It came in conjunction with an article that Forbes ran about the company and its “influencer marketing” strategies. (>>View Article).

Many of our readers will have been aware of the marketing campaign that accompanied the theatrical release of the movie Straight Outta Compton, which was orchestrated by SharkReach. They promised Universal Pictures 7 million impressions and delivered more than 130 million, thanks in large part to the graphical memes that gained viral popularity for a period of months leading up to and following the film’s debut.

The rapid growth into a major player in less than three years of business definitely puts the company on our radar long term, but for the time being, there may be some short-term advantage to press with SHRK. We’ll look for profit-takers to surface after the stock’s rapid and meteoric rise, and be ready for a classic dip-and-rip scenario.

Facebook, Inc. FB – Options Ideas

With regard to a fresh options trading idea, we’re going to be watching Facebook for a possible move to the short side. The stock recently made a run that proved unsustainable, and the chart is looking rather toppy at the moment with a significant gap to fill to the low side.

For potential daytrading and intraweek swing-trade ideas we will be monitoring the Feb 5th $113-110 Puts. For a longer-term idea, assuming more hardship lay ahead for the stock, we’ll want to keep an eye on Feb 19th $109-105 Puts.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PHOT Recap, Options Review & More

Growlife, Inc. PHOT

Amid a troubled market when a lot of stocks are stagnating, or even worse, plummeting, we managed to catch onto a great idea in yesterday’s premarket report with PHOT. Granted that we hadn’t mentioned the stock since the end of October, the timing in bringing back to the table was impeccable.

As you can see on the intraday chart below, PHOT logged a morning low of a penny before ramping its way up a full 100% to a daily high of .02 by early afternoon. It traded in a tight channel for the remainder of the session and managed to maintain a vast majority of those gains into the close at .0195.

While its actions alone certainly qualify for putting PHOT on a continued momentum watch, we’d urge a strong note of caution due to the fact that it is currently garnering a grey listing and caveat emptor warning at OTC Markets.

Alphabet Inc. GOOG – Options Idea

Our options idea from yesterday’s report turned up some excellent quick-strike chances in the first half of the session. We tagged a wide swathe of contracts in the range of GOOG Weekly $780-800 Calls, and each of the eight included targets provided similar gain opportunities.

In the interest of time, we’ll just provide the intraday swings on the first and last contracts in the series. The $780 Calls ran from a low of 6.70 to a high of 15.45 (+131%) and the $800’s made a jump from 1.90-5.50 (+190%).

Again, similar profits could have been attained with any one of the contracts in our highlighted range. Cheers to anyone able to take advantage of those moves which were propelled by GOOG’s post-market earnings beat on Monday.

Added Note: Stay tuned for tomorrow’s report when we’ll be formulating some fresh ideas based off of one or more of the high profile earnings releases slated for post-market today (GPRO, GM, YUM, etc.)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Idea, Rebound Play

Alphabet Inc. GOOG – Options Idea

We want to start things off today by focusing on the possibility of taking advantage of the heavy activity in GOOG on the heels of its post-market earnings release yesterday. As one would expect from an untraded-upon earnings beat, GOOG is spiking considerably in early trading. On a related note, the new figures seem to have allowed Google to surpass Apple for the title of largest U.S. company.

We’ll be on the lookout for a potential early dip, then scan for the choicest action within the range of GOOG Weekly $780-800 Calls. We could be in line to see some hefty intraday and/or intraweek swings out of those contracts if things play out as we suspect they might.

3D Systems Corp. DDD

Despite a general bearish sentiment toward the 3D-printing sector as a whole in the media of late, we are seeing a potential opportunity with regard to DDD. Despite the array of poor publicity hitting newswires, the stock has been bucking the trend with a steady stair-stepping approach up off of its annual lows for the past couple of weeks.

The chart has an attractive look as you can see below, so we’re going to want to monitor DDD in the days and weeks ahead as its chances for an extended recovery seem fair.The first signal we’ll be looking out for is a breach of prior resistance at the highlighted level of 8.50.

Adaptive Medias, Inc. ADTM

ADTM took off like a rocket yesterday on news of a buyout offer of roughly nine times the company’s market cap leading into the session. What resulted was a scramble for shares, and the upward pressure pushed the stock all the way from an early low in the .40-range up to the mid-.70 area.

Subject to shareholder approval, the all-cash transaction would offer $35M, or 1.50/share. From current levels, reaching that price point would mark a roughly 100% move the the upside. We’ll have our eyes peeled for further updates on the deal, as well as the immediate effect that the news will continue to have on the stock.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Bottom-Play, Momentum Mover & More

Horsehead Holding Corp. ZINC

The first thing that jumped out at us during this morning’s routine scans was a stock we’d classify as a prime bottom-play opportunity.

Additionally, the company itself deals in sourcing zinc from recycled materials, so there’s the added variable of zinc prices being on the rise in recent weeks, to the tune of nearly a ten-cent swing.

As for the ZINC chart itself, we’ve highlighted below the various aspects that we find attractive for the stock’s short-term recovery prospects. It has been bouncing off of its annual lows, and is currently giving a strong impression of being oversold. We’ll be very interested to track the stock’s progress in coming sessions.


Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. ASTI

ASTI is soaring in the premarket on the strength of an impressive Q4 earnings release, which demonstrated a 90% quarter-over-quarter increase in revenue.

We’re going to place the stock on watch for the possibility of an early dip caused by profit-takers, followed by a subsequent bounce.

We’ve had tremendous good fortune with this stock in the past, with our most recent call coming in September when we followed it from the .10-range all the way up to .30.

HydroPhi Technologies Group, Inc. HPTG

We also want to radar HPTG this morning, a familiar stock that we most recently discussed in December. It has strung together a few solid sessions, and is in the midst of forming a golden cross of the 50DMA over the 200DMA on the chart.

We’ll want to keep an eye peeled for the possibility of an extended uptrend here, where there is an established record of volatile swing activity.
