FREE, PHOT, AAPL & Extended Watchlist

FreeSeas, Inc. FREE

Everything we talked about yesterday ended up doing well, beginning with FREE. After opening up at .3723 the stock shot up to a high of .468, a move of 26%. Most importantly it held those gains nicely all the way through the close at .45.

This was right on par with what we had hoped to see from FREE, as it closed above the 50DMA. It seems our timing of the bounce worked in our favor, and moving forward, we’d like to see the stock continue to make higher lows and higher highs. The 10DMA of .49 and the 20DMA of .60 are going to be our next major hurdles to clear.

Growlife, Inc. PHOT

PHOT went on a similarly successful run as well, following yesterday’s morning report. The stock opened up at .0719, and continued to push the envelope all day, reaching its peak at .0899 shortly before 2PM. That marked an intraday gain of 25%, and like FREE, the stock managed to hold a significant portion of those gains into the close (.0847)

That solid performance came on nearly four times the average volume, so we are going to be keeping an eye on this stock for continued momentum.

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options

The 11/01 $505 and $510 Calls that we had been tracking would hit their highs early on in the session before AAPL began pulling back from its big gap-up. The $505’s touched an ultimate high of 29.70 (Original alert in the $12-range) while the $510’s reached their peak at 26.44 (1st alerted at $10).

Both sets of contracts offered the chance to gain over 100% At that point, any good trader is taking profits off of the table and chalking it up as a win. Between now and when AAPL releases earnings on the 28th, we’ll be looking to move our strike price closer to the money, and continue to take advantage of this cash cow any way that we can.

AAPL Options, FREE PHOT & Extended Watchlist

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options
–
We began the week by mentioning our interest in AAPL Calls, having already experienced substantial gains to that point over the past several sessions. In anticipation of today’s iPad Event, the stock went on a tear, ending the day up more than ten dollars and 2.45% The 11/01 $505 & $510 Calls that we’ve been tracking were pushed deep into the money, yielding enormous gains. The 505’s surged another 100% from our original alert point at $12-range to 24.35, The 510’s, which started off as low as $10, and hit a high of 24.22, ending up at 22.05. A gain of over 140%

AAPL is gapping up once again, trading up roughly 1% pre-market. We expect these Calls to be pushed ever-deeper into the money.

FreeSeas, Inc. FREE

On September 10th we were talking about FREE, and the fact that it had resistance sitting on the chart at .33 and .38. At that time, we observed it trading as low as .2213. In just under a month, we would see it rocket 320% to .9287.

Following that huge run, the stock has been under consolidation, and we are currently monitoring for a bottom. Ideally, we’d like to see that come above the .33-mark. A signal that the stock is ready for a rebound would be the surpassing of the 50DMA at .39.

Growlife, Inc. PHOT

Most of you know that we’ve been tracking PHOT, along with a lot of other marijuana-related stocks for an awfully long time. On August 30th, we reminded our readers to begin paying close attention to the industry following the Fed’s announcement that it would not be interfering with states’ right to legalize marijuana. At that time, it was as low as .0318. We mentioned PHOT again on September 16th, at a price of .042 as it was breaking a double-top.

Yesterday, the stock hit a new high of .072 into the close, marking a gain of 71% since mid-September.

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options

On Wednesday we honed in on Apple’s big news, the addition of Burberry CEO Angela Ahrendts as its new chief of retail, and mentioned that we were monitoring the 11/01 $505 and $510 Calls. At the time those contracts were trading in the low $12’s, and $10’s respectively.

We were still watching on Friday, and were duly rewarded for our patience; the $505 Calls jumped nearly 50% from the lows in the $12-range to a high of 17.10. As for the $510’s, they went on to close at 14.50, a 45% increase from the low of $10.

This morning, AAPL is gapping up to the tune of more than 0.5%, which means these Calls should be pushed even deeper into the money. That would provide us with significant added gains.

Facebook, Inc. FB – Options

Much like AAPL, FB has become one of our favorite target vehicles for trading options contracts. If you recall, we successfully pursued over 750% in cumulative gains out of FB Calls the Friday before last, and in sticking with the same strategy last week as we pointed out on Friday, similar opportunities were presented in the Calls once again.
