Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ATHI, TBEV Recaps & More

American Transportation Holdings, Inc. ATHI

ATHI was the most impressive among three good plays to come off of our extended watchlist in yesterday’s premarket report. Despite the stock having already made a 600% move on, Friday, we saw the opportunity to possibly take advantage of momentum spillover, and it turned out to be a great decision.

ATHI opened up at .0005, and never looked back as it ran from super-subpenny to subpenny territory, culminating in an impressive daily high of .0022 which registered as a 340% intraday rip.

Our sincere congratulations go out to any of our readers who were able to take advantage of this beast of a runner!

We may want to begin monitoring this play for a possible forthcoming dip-and-rip scenario caused by hastily-exiting profit-takers.

High Performance Beverages Co. TBEV

TBEV was the next good call for us from yesterday’s report. This is another stock that fared very well on Friday (.0015-.0025), yet still provided sufficient action for traders to make a tidy profit yesterday.

It traded in a range from .0017 to .0024, which represents a healthy intraday increase of 41%

BioPharmX Corp. BPMX

BPMX was a nice catch for us too yesterday. We witnessed a modest yet solid move from a daily low of 1.85 to a PPS high of 2.25, a 22% jump.

It brings BPMX to its highest value since early August. A return to June levels would mean significant added gains from here, so we’ll be open to the possibility of a protracted recovery for this stock.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: GRLT Recap, Options Ideas & More

Healthy & Tasty Brands Corp. GRLT

In Friday’s morning report, we tagged GRLT, a super-subpenny play, for observation and the stock did make a nice initial move right out of the starting gate. It had been continually building a higher base level of support since the end of August, and continued that trend as it ran from .0005-.0007; a 40% jump. The move came on approximately 3X the 3-month average volume, and GRLT did manage to hold a PPS of .0006 into the close.

This is one that we’ll continue to watch for possible intraweek swing-trade opportunities in the near future. As we mentioned in Friday’s report, we’ll need to see it maintain support at or above the current 50DMA of .0004 in order for it to hold our attention moving forward.

Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN – Options Update

One of our main points of focus on Friday was an idea we formulated for the AMZN options chain. Looking at the activity on the AMZN chart as it was breaking out, we came up with an extended-term target of the AMZN 10/16 $550 Calls and we saw some immediate response from those contracts. They traded in a daily range from 10.17 up to 11.89 marking a solid 17% increase.

If AMZN can continue its uptrend to the point of testing it’s annual highs, our targeted Calls will be pushed deep into the money, and in that case, would produce further opportunities down the road.

Apple, Inc. AAPL _ Options Idea

AAPL is gapping up this morning on positive pre-sale numbers for the new iPhone 6S Plus, and we’re going to go ahead and formulate an idea for some possible intraday/intraweek options-trading opportunities.

We want to signal our interest in AAPL Weekly $115-116.50 Calls on the heels of what could be a potential dip-and-rip scenario on the chart. Either way, we’ll be watching AAPL activity closely as we kick off this new trading week.

Extended Watchlist:
TBEV, ATHI, SANP, BPMX, ZUMZ(New 52-wk lows)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ZSPH Takeover Rumors & More

ZS Pharma, Inc. ZSPH

We’ve noticed some abnormal activity coming out of ZSPH yesterday on the heels of supposed talks of a takeover by Actelion,Ltd (ALIOY). The stock had already been in a general uptrend since the end of August, and really took off on confirmation from the company that it had indeed entered into talks to possibly be taken over in what it referred to as a ‘strategic transaction’.

When stocks surge so rapidly on non-material news, there’s always a good chance for seeing a classic dip-and-style style formation on the chart, so that’s what we’re going to be on the lookout for in this case.

To help us leverage the activity in ZSPH to our greatest advantage, we’ll formulate a corresponding options idea to monitor for intraday strike opportunities. Out specific target range will be ZSPH Weekly $75-85 Calls. We had monstrous success with some of our other recent options ideas, we’ll look to ZSPH to help us finish out this holiday-shortened week on a high note.

Bottom Watch Plays

Net Element, Inc. NETE –

The NETE chart has caught our eye this morning as one with the potential to produce a promising recovery play. The stock is trading at relative lows, having just logged it’s annual bottom last month. There is also a clear-cut example of a double-bottom formation on this chart, so we’re going to tag this stock for extended observation.

____

Great Basin Scientific, Inc. GBSN

We’ve been tracking GBSN in hopes of catching its eventual bottom, and as of today we’re still waiting. We don’t want to let it slip off of our radars, however, because the chance for a hefty rebound when solid support is ultimately established is very high. The chart has recently reached egregiously-oversold territory as we’ve pointed out below. We’ll look for it to begin building higher lows and kick off its recovery.

Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN – Options Idea

We also want to formulate a quick options idea for AMZN. The stock is trading way below analyst estimates, so we’re going to be tracking a little bit of a longer-term idea. We want to keep a close watch over the 10/16 $550 Calls.(Last traded @ 10.17)

In order for us to remain interested in those contracts, we’ll want to see AMZN maintain support no lower than 499.74 (50DMA). In the event that it fails to hold above that threshold, we’d need to roll our strike price down to the $525’s of the same expiration date.

Grillit, Inc. GRLT – Super Subpenny on Watch

We’ve also identified a few bullish characteristics on the GRLT chart. This super-subpenny play has the look of a stock that could possibly break out. If it can maintain its PPS at a level no lower than the 50DMA of .0004, we’ll keep this one on watch for potential move in forthcoming sessions.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ASTI, CCTC Recap & More

Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. ASTI

We’ve been watching ASTI closely over the past week or so as it’s traded up off a relative bottom on the chart. The stock has now strung together three consecutive sessions of registering higher highs and higher lows, including a nice intraday performance yesterday following the reminder in our premarket report.

From a daily low of .266, the stock traded as high as .35; a 33% swing, and an overall move of 84% over Friday’s low of .19. On any pullbacks from this point, we’ll need to see ASTI maintain a minimum level of support at or above the current 50DMA of .28 in order to keep our attention.

Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. CCTC

The other standout from yesterday’s morning report also came off of the extended watchlist in the form of CCTC, and it was a fairly steady runner for the majority of the session. The stock saw an early morning low of .45, and proceeded to trade as high as .64, marking a solid 42% intraday rip. Cheers to anyone who caught that timely alert.

We suggest our readers take a look at an article we found on CTCC, and the unique opportunity it presents as the coal industry is close to collapse. Lower natural gas prices have decimated coal, and the technology Pristine-M, conditions low-quality coal to improve energy output and in turn, boost the value of the product. >>> Read Article

Pazoo, Inc. PZOO

We were excited to see the content of yesterday’s news release from PZOO, which we posted on BlueHorsehoeStocks.com yesterday morning, as it pertains to the company’s continued exploration of opportunities in the legal cannabis sector. The announcement actually has the potential to generate business from countless other industries as well.

The technology highlighted by Pazoo is a “patented water conservation product, which guarantees at least a 10%, to as much as a 30%, savings in commercial property owner’s water bill.” We’re very excited about the possibilities that lay ahead as the establishment of this product continues, and will be sure to keep our ear to the tracks for further updates.

We also want to remind our readers that PZOO will be presenting in a special cannabis investor webcast at www.cannawebcast.com today, Thursday, September 10 at 11:00AM Eastern. We’ve provided links to both yesterday’s press and the webcast below:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPY Options Recap & More

SPY Options Update

We were so spot-on with our options alert on the SPY in yesterday’s premarket report, that we feel it necessary to quote our alert verbatim. We stated: “With another reversal appearing likely with this morning’s gap-up in the markets, we’ll want to swing our attention in the opposite direction. The SPY generally trades inversely to the UXVY, thus we’ll be monitoring SPY Weekly $195-197 Calls in the event of a continued uptrend signal.”

We certainly hope a good number of our readers were able to catch that, as every single one of the contract sets in our targeted range could have facilitated sizable gains on the session. Here’s a breakdown of the possibilities:

$195 Calls – Daily Range: 2.05-3.50 – Max Gain: 71%
$195.50 Calls – Daily Range: 1.75-3.15 – Max Gain: 80%
$196 Calls – Daily Range: 1.48-2.80 – Max Gain: 89%
$196.50 Calls – Daily Range: 1.25-2.45 – Max Gain: 96%
$197 Calls – Daily Range: 1.01-2.15 – Max Gain: 113%

In order to take advantage of the SPY moving forward, we’ll need to see a continued boost in stocks. In that event, we may look to roll our strike prices closer to the money, namely the Weekly $198-200.50 Calls.

Apple to Announce iPhone 6S Plus – Options Idea

With Apple officially announcing the release of the iPhone 7 today, which is slated to go on sale at the end of next week, we’re going to want to stay ready for the possibility of an options play to one side or the other. We’ll need to guage public reaction to the new phone; an underwhelming product could result in a PPS decline for AAPL, in which case we’d be monitoring Weekly $112-50-114.50 Puts. In the event of a mainly positive reaction, of course, we’d flip that idea to the Call-side in the same strike price range.

Akebia Therapeutics, Inc. AKBA

AKBA is undergoing a mega gap-up in premarket trading today, largely due to yesterday’s after-hours report of positive Phase II study results. We’ll look to possibly take advantage of the situation; with such a rapid move up, it leaves AKBA open to a dip-and-rip pattern on the chart when sellers come out of the woodwork to take profits off of the table.

We’ve pointed out the previous swing highs as levels at which AKBA will need to maintain support on the dip, in order for us to remain interested:
