Blue Horseshoe Stocks: WIZD Update, Options Recap & More

Wizard World, Inc. WIZD

We want to provide an update on WIZD as we kick things off this morning, but first a quick memory-refresh; we called this stock as a bottom-play on Friday, July 31st after noticing it had been beaten back to new 52-wk lows just prior to that. On that day, we observed a low of .33, and WIZD did an excellent job of sustaining a recovery throughout last week, during which we provided multiple updates.

On Friday, the stock attained yet another new high, reaching a PPS of .53, which represents a respectable one-week increase of 61%

The chart continues to exhibit a bullish look, as we’ve pointed out on the following snapshot. Ideally we’d like to see the stock hold support at .48 on any pullbacks, and below that, .45. We’ll have it on steady watch as trading for the week commences.

Options Rundown

To recap a couple options-trading ideas we put forth at the end of last week. We cautioned that they may be subject to volatility, and were correct in that assumption. The result was several chances for prominent gains:

Apple, Inc. AAPL – On Friday we were mentioning our interest in AAPL Weekly $115 Calls, and the trading action that ensued was quite noteworthy. We were witnesses to an initial pop of 207% (.43-1.32), followed up by a pullback to .74, and subsequent spike to its high-of-day at 1.44, good for an added intraday move of 95% That was followed by several lesser, yet still significant swings; from .28-.54, .20-.45 and .20-.62.

___

First Solar, Inc. FSLR – Similar volatile trading action in the FSLR options we specified occurred on Friday (Weekly FSLR $51-52 Calls.). Several opportunities were there for the taking as those contracts all made healthy primary runs followed by multiple dips-and-rips.

The $51 Calls ran 170% from .63-1.70, and again from .76-1.10 (+48%). The $51.50 Calls first pop carried them from .34-76 (+124%), and later it registered added swings from .18-37 and then from .05-.19 in last hour of trading. Finally, the $52 Calls took off on a 163% rip from .38-1.00 , and managed an extra move from .24-.60 in the last hour.

Added Notes:

Aquinox Pharmaceuticals, Inc. AQXP is catching our eye off of the scanner; the stock has been on a major tear since the release of positive mid-point data on one of its drug trials, as well as an earning beat late last week.(>>>View PR)

Also on our watchlist to start things off today will be Value Setters, Inc. VSTR.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Celebrating Four Great Years!

Options Wrap-Up

We’ve been going heavy on our options tracking this week, and have unearthed some real gems as usual. To close things out today, we’ll identify a couple of things to watch for once action commences.

Apple, Inc. AAPL – To reiterate our AAPL idea, we were tracking the stock and observing for a bottom early this week, which it found Wednesday. It led to some impressive gains in the Weekly $115 Calls, and those are the contracts that we’ll watch for added activity. *Remember: Trading in options with a weekly expiration on a Friday carries an elevated risk/reward dynamic.
___

First Solar, Inc. FSLR – Earlier this week we saw intraday gains running from 188-579% from our FSLR ideas. We’ll roll our previous tracking range ($47-50.50) on Weekly FSLR Calls up to the $51-52 Level.
___

FitBit, Inc. FIT – We’ve witnessed gains approaching the 100%-mark from Weekly FIT Calls in prior sessions, but today we’re going to enter a longer-term idea into the log for extended observation. We’re interested in the FIT September 18th $64 Calls.

Sub-Penny Bottom-Watchlist

Stragenics, Inc. ASAB & Pervasip Corp. PVSP

As you can see from the side-by-side snapshot below, each of these .0008-stocks appear ready to rebound off of their recent relative bottoms, and we’ll want to be paying close attention when they do. Especially in the case of PVSP; a play that we tracked over a monster run from late-June, early-July.

American Green, Inc. ERBB

We’ve been familiar with this stock since back when it was still trading as Tranzbyte Corp., although 2015 has been a near-constant downslide for the stock. One look at the chart and it’s self-evident.

It did however, respond to the logging of a new 52-week low on Wednesday with a higher low for yesterday’s session, so we’ll want to see if it can continue to establish a higher base of support. A rebound could be forthcoming at any time, so we’ll re-submit this to our running watchlist.

SPECIAL NOTE:

Today we are celebrating the 4th anniversary of Blue Horseshoe Stocks. It’s been a great ride so far, and we can’t wait for all the great things the future holds! Our thanks go out to our many valued subscribers and readers from around the globe for your continued support! Without you we’d have no reason to do what we do, so, Happy Birthday to the entire Blue Horseshoe Stocks community, one and all!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Rundown & More

Wizard World, Inc. WIZD

We’d like to start things off this morning with an update on a stock we’ve been tracking since the end of last week. We introduced WIZD in Friday’s premarket report, presenting it as a potential bottom-play. We noticed that it had recently been crushed down to new annual lows, and drew up a chart to illustrate the opportunity.

Over the last few sessions the stock has done a good job of building a higher base of support and regaining some of the ground it lost this summer. Yesterday it attained a daily high of .45, which marks a 36% upswing over our observed low.

We’ll want to see WIZD continue to make a healthy recovery, ideally holding support above .40 on any pullbacks. The stock was trading up close to a dollar as recently as June, and a return to those levels from current pricing would mean gains approaching 100% The chart is still bearing the look of potential, as you can see a number of bullish indicators on the snapshot below.

Options Rundown

First Solar, Inc. FSLR – Yesterday we identified a couple of potential options ideas, and one of them provided several chances for lucrative intraday trades. Our targeted range was the Weekly $47-50.50 Calls and while every set of contracts within did make increases, for time’s sake we’ll just highlight some of the top gainers.

The 47.50 Calls surged 188% from 1.91-5.50. The $50’s traded in a range from .63-3.15 , a whopping 400% jump, while the $50.50 Calls had the biggest day with a run from .38-2.58, an amazing 579%.
___

FitBit, Inc. FIT – Also on our radar was FIT, which we mentioned on Tuesday with the idea of tracking the $50-51 Calls. Those contracts ended up making wild runs into earnings:

The $50 Calls traded as low as 2.19 on Tuesday and reached a high of 4.40 yesterday (+101%). The $50.50 Calls went from 2.14-4.10 (+92%), and the $51’s jumped from 2.00-3.85 (+93%).

After getting beat up on the heels of that earnings report, this morning we’ll watch for chances with the FIT $45-48 Calls.
___

Apple, Inc. AAPL – We also want to make mention of AAPL, which we’ve been following this week via our extended watchlists, and in our traders chatroom*. After a period of consolidation, we were awaiting an AAPL rebound, and yesterday we got what we were looking for- big moves occurred in the Weekly $115-116 Calls. Moving forward, we’re going to be on the lookout for the possibility of added gains in those plays, especially heading into tomorrow when they close in on expiration.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MIXX Review, Options Ideas & More

Mix 1 Life, Inc. MIXX

To kick the week off on Monday morning, we highlighted a couple of fresh news bottom plays, and MIXX was among them. If you refer to that premarket report, we stated that MIXX was “piquing our interest with a premarket PR and its positioning on the chart as a good bottom-watch candidate. The stock has fallen dramatically to new 52-week lows, and is looking extremely oversold… we’re going to slate this one for observation as the potential recovery could produce some serious chances for profit.”

We honestly couldn’t have been more right about MIXX seeming out of place at such low price, and that impression of the chart led us to the chance for some serious profits. Yesterday’s trading range brought the stock from a low of .98 all the way up to 3.15, which marks an intraday jump of 221%

This play served as yet another added reminder of why we are constantly scanning for stocks which have been crushed down to new annual lows without significant material changes. It is often a precursor to hefty rebounds like the one MIXX has produced this week.

Mobile Broadcasting Holding, Inc. MBHC

Speaking of intraweek swings, MBHC has continued to make a comparatively modest yet still significant move of its own off of its recent swing low of .0042. Yesterday the stock pushed its way back to a high of .0069, an overall positive change of 64%

It came in conjunction with a press announcement highlighting the appointment of a new CEO who will be navigating the company through the upcoming launch of the company’s new app to both Apple and Android markets. The timeline given in a prior press release from MBHC has the official release coming up later this month.

PISCATAWAY TOWNS, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / August 4, 2015 / Mobile Broadcasting Corporation, (OTC PINK: MBHC) Mobile Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) announced today that Darryl M. Sanders will be taking the reigns as President and CEO of MBHC. He will lead the company’s public launch of the WHIRLD Mobile Broadcasting Network >> FULL PR

Options Ideas

We’ve had strikingly good fortune with options recently, so here are a couple of fresh ideas that we’re going to be monitoring today. We’re going to give a wide target range for each of them. Be aware that when we signal wider ranges of call contracts it’s always less risky to start at the lower strike price, (i.e. deeper in-the-money) and roll up our strike price if the stock looks like it wants to continue to break out. We’ve identified many winning contracts in the past using this broad-sweep monitoring method.

Zillow Group, Inc. (Z) – Here we are going to be slating the Z Weekly $77-82 Calls for observation.

First Solar, Inc. FSLR – For FSLR our target range looks to be the Weekly $47-50.50 Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: LXRX Recap & Much More

Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. LXRX

Our first order of business today is to congratulate any of our readers who were able to turn our premarket alert of LXRX into hefty intraday gains.

We were given ample opportunity to do so, as a hugely significant PR left the stock positively charged for most of the session. A momentous intraday run began from an early low of 10.83 and topped out at an HOD of 13.80. That translates to a 27% jump, which is a very impressive single-session performance for a $10 stock.

If you recall, we hit this one from multiple angles; our options trading idea of tracking Weekly $10 Calls was also good for potential profits. Those contracts traded up from a low of 1.50 all the way to 3.90, which was good for gains of up to 160%

LXRX held the majority of its daily advance, which occurred on well over 30-times the 3-month average volume. That sets the stock up with plenty of momentum, and signals us to keep an eye out in coming sessions for a continuation of such. In the event that occurs, as far as options are concerned, we’d roll our strike price up to the Weekly $12.50 Calls, which already made a heck of a move yesterday from .45-2.00.

___

Hutchinson Technology, Inc. HTCH

We also want to give a quick update on HTCH, which we entered into the conversation via Friday’s premarket report. We witnessed the beginning of its run that day with a low of 1.60, and subsequent 22% pop to 1.95.

Yesterday, the stock set a new high of 2.25, which marked a two-day increase of 41% In order for us to remain interested in this play. we’ll need to see it continue to record higher lows.

Super-Subpenny Bottom-Watchlist
