Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Form-4 Watchlist, Options Ideas & More

Insider Buying Watchlist

Both of the following are plays that we’ve tracked in some capacity in the past, and each of them grabbed our attention with recent insider transactions of a sizable magnitude which were executed at higher levels than the current PPS. We like to monitor stocks whose directors have confidence in future price performance, and that’s the impression we get when they soak up large blocks of shares in this manner. Each of these stocks is also currently trading at a relative bottom, so we’ll be watching in the days and weeks to come for signs of bounceplay opportunities.

The ExOne Co. XONE

In the case of XONE, CEO Kent Rockwell last weekend filed a Form-4 indicating the purchase of a $13M block of XONE at 9.13, more than a dollar per share higher than the current PPS. This is a significant development that warrants heavy monitoring for XONE.

Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. ESPR

The traunch of shares purchased by ESPR director Tim Mayleben wasn’t nearly as large as the previously mentioned block, but still, a $100K investment is nothing at which to sneeze. The trade was executed at 14.08 (Current PPS:13.77). ESPR has just come up off of its newly established 52-week lows, and has been going through a bout of serious under-performance, so we’ll want to keep our heads on a swivel for any developments that might kick this thing into gear.

Fresh Options Ideas

To kick things off this week on the options front, we’ve formulated a couple of ideas based on announced and expected earnings, and the resultant activity we’re observing here in the premarket.

Tiffany & Co. TIF

We’re looking at going bearish on TIF, which, on the heels of a lackluster holiday season in terms of jewelry sales, failed to meet or beat earnings expectations and is currently gapping down in early trading. We’re going to track a range of contracts here, namely the TIF Weekly $66.50-64 Puts, for potential daytrades.

Netflix, Inc. NFLX

NFLX has its earnings call slated for the post-market today, and we’re going to want to track a range of calls in anticipation of that event. We’ve witnessed runs into earnings so many times before, it’d almost be foolish to ignore NFLX under the present circumstances. We’re going to keep an eye on NFLX Weekly $105-107 Calls to take advantage of a possible continued run-up for the stock.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PLKD Recap, Options Idea & More

Pleasant Kids, Inc. PLKD

PLKD was far and away the best among all of the stocks we talked about in yesterday’s premarket report. We’d mentioned the fact that the stock had been on a very steady run-up since our first alert came roughly six weeks prior, on October 13th. Up until yesterday, the total observed move we witnessed in PLKD was an impressive 380% swing from .0581- .279.

Despite being up so high already we pointed out the bullishness of various aspects of the chart, specifically stating that we believed further gains were possible. Our hunch proved accurate, and once again PLKD made another nice move to the upside! From its daily low of .295 the stock pressed upward to reach .375; a healthy 27% intraday increase. That stretched our overall range to a monstrous 545% in a span of just six weeks!

MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P. MWE – Options Idea

MWE caught our eye yesterday morning after we noticed that the stock had not only strung together multiple sessions of higher highs and higher lows, but it had breached its 50DMA during Friday’s short session. Continued bullish signals were confirmed yesterday with another solid session that carried MWE to a high of 48.21.

We’ve had enough of simply watching from the sidelines, so we thought we’d formulate an idea to take advantage of the trend using the MWE options chain. Instead of one of our characteristic weekly expiration targets, which the MWE chain does not provide, we’re going to stretch things out a bit to the MWE 12/18 $50 Calls. This gives us an extra couple of weeks to work with and increases the likelihood of seeing some substantial moves if the stock is sluggish in testing the $50-mark.

SpectraSCIENCE, Inc. SCIE

SCIE is a play that we tagged for observation last week, and we wanted to take an opportunity this morning to update readers on the solid performance the stock has put forth.

Yesterday’s session produced chances at up to 94% in profits as SCIE ran from .0018 to .0035. Subsequent to our mention of SCIE just prior to the holiday break last week we saw a low .0013, which balloons the total move we’ve seen out of this stock in just a week to a highly respectable 169%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Wrapping Up an Awesome Short Week

Magnum Hunter Resources Corp. MHRC

We really couldn’t have laid things out more plainly on Wednesday morning with respect to MHRC. We mentioned that we’d followed the stock all the way from our initial alert on 11/16 from a low of .021 to Tuesday’s high of .074 for a total increase of 252%

We then made it a point to remind our readers that there were still gaps to the upside to fill on the chart, which created the real possibility for further gains. The first gap we identified was from .08-.15 and sure enough, MHRC rose to meet the challenge, nearly filling that gap in its entirety.

The stock began from a morning low of .065 and reached as high as .146, which worked out to an intraday move of 125% and brought our overall observed range (.021-.146) to a mammoth 595%

We still need to keep a close eye on MHRC moving forward. The stock closed with strength at .137 on heavy volume, retaining its momentum-play status.

AgriEuro Corp. EURI

EURI was another momentum mover that up until Wednesday’s report had already shown us a 400% swing to the upside, and it too made a sizable intraday run leading into the holiday break.

The stock traded in a daily range from 1.15 to 1.69 giving traders a shot at modest yet solid intraday profits of 47%

We may look to cut-and-run from this point, as EURI has just been relegated to Caveat Emptor status by OTC Markets.

The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc. BONT

We’ve had success tracking BONT in the past, and this week has been a case of history repeating. We executed a textbook bottom bounce call on BONT, tagging it on Monday before observing a low of 1.25, and both Tuesday and Wednesday’s sessions produced bigtime advances of the chart.

It led to a high of 2.49 Wednesday, (+99%) leaving us just one percent shy of a perfect double-bagger on the week.

Pfizer, Inc. PFE – Options

Despite the recent uproar of excellent calls on various stocks, we didn’t want to break for the holiday without submitting a quick options-trading idea, and the one we identified was PFE Weekly $31-32.50 Calls, based on the premarket activity we were observing Wednesday morning.

Significant intraday spikes occurred in each set of contracts within that range, including a pair of four-baggers!

$31 Calls – Trading Range: 1.13-1.92 – Max Gain: 70%
$31.50 Calls – Trading Range: .62-1.60 – Max Gain: 158%
$32 Calls – Trading Range: .24-1.20 – Max Gain: 400%
$32.50 Calls – Trading Range: .13-.66 – Max Gain: 408%

If the bullish activity continues along a similar trend during today’s short session, we may look for quick-strike opportunities in a higher strike range. We’ll radar the PFE Weekly $32-33.50 Calls, but just remember that trading ceases at 1PM Eastern today, at which time all weekly options will expire!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CAPV & CDNL’s Explosive Moves & More

Cabo Verde Capital, Inc. CAPV

–

It’s only taken CAPV two sessions since we alerted the stock on Friday to reach superstar status. Even after offering up gains of more than 320% following its appearance in our premarket report on Friday, the stock wasn’t finished.

–

We issued a reminder in yesterday’s premarket report that despite having already made a big move, the stock was still a prime candidate to continue its momentum. What actually happened was more akin to another explosion, as CAPV ran from an early low of .0205 to an astonishing high of .077 on roughly seven times its 30-day average volume.

It goes down in the log as an intraday run of 276% and stretches the overall move we’ve observed in only two sessions to a whopping 1183%

We’ll remain interested in CAPV for its potential intraday swing capability provided it continues to maintain higher levels of support.

Cardinal Resources, Inc. CDNL

The other big winner yesterday was CDNL which we began tracking heavily on Tuesday of last week. By Friday, it had amassed six consecutive sessions of logging higher lows, and made a run from our witnessed low of .0057 to .0245; a 330% swing.

Like the aforementioned play, we reminded readers in yesterday’s newsletter that CDNL could very well continue its own momentum into this week, and were very pleased with the results.

The stock surged from a morning low of .0233 and went on to hit .06. It marked an intraday pop of 158% and a total increase of 953% over the low we observed last Tuesday. A huge congratulations goes out to any of our readers who were tracking these stocks along with us in recent sessions, and were able to take advantage of these insanely monstrous moves.

More Momentum Movers

Speaking of momentum plays with which we’ve been familiar in the past, we have yet another pair of stocks to re-mention this morning.

AEterna Zentaris, Inc. AEZS

AEZS logged its new 52-week low on Friday and immediately began to bounce back. It then followed that up with a huge day to kick off the week yesterday, so between that and the fact that it traded record volume, we need to put this play on close watch. The stock has traded as high as 11.50 in premarket trading today, and we’ll look for it to hold support at or above the channel between the 50DMA of 6.69 and recent swing-high around 7.50 on any pullbacks.

Magnum Hunter Resorces Corp. MHRC

We introduced MHRC last Monday as a potential recovery play, and it has steadily advanced on the chart in the six sessions since that alert. We saw the stock trading at .021 that first day, and yesterday it had reached as high as .0415; a 98% swing in a single week.

It serves as a great example of why we’re constantly looking for stocks rebounding off of their 52-week lows, and up to this point MHRC has been a textbook play in that regard.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Roundup & More

Options Recap

Facebook, Inc. FB – FB was cruising in the premarket yesterday in the wake of an earnings beat, and we signaled a range of contracts where we supposed the heaviest action would fall (FB Weekly $106-111 Calls). It would not have mattered which set of contracts traders chose to strike, because they all provided chances at hefty gains.

In every case, there was a big initial spike, followed by a dip-and-rip which added an additional intraday swing. The breakdown of those moves is as follows:

$106 Calls – 1st Swing: 2.77-4.70 (70%) – 2nd Swing: 2.37-3.60 (52%)
$107 Calls – 1st Swing: 1.60-3.70 (131%) – 2nd Swing: 1.60-2.70 (69%)
$108 Calls – 1st Swing: 1.40 – 2.89 (106%) – 2nd Swing: 1.00-1.80 (80%)
$109 Calls – 1st Swing: .88-2.07 (135%) – 2nd Swing: .58-1.12 (93%)
$110 Calls – 1st Swing: .49-1.42 (190%) – 2nd Swing: .30-.62 (106%)
$111 Calls – 1st Swing: .33-92 (179%) – 2nd Swing: .14-.33 (136%)

Expedia, Inc. EXPE -The buzz over EXPE’s buyout of HomeAway, Inc. AWAY was enough to get it moving in yesterday’s premarket. Our corresponding options idea for this one was to track EXPE Weekly $138-142 Calls and like FB, there was no losing pick within our specified range of contracts. Cheers to anyone that got in on the fun, as double-bag gains were possible across the board!

$138 Calls – Daily Range: 1.10-2.90 – Max Gain: 164%
$139 Calls – Daily Range: .65-2.18 – Max Gain: 235%
$140 Calls – Daily Range: .55-1.65 – Max Gain: 200%
$141 Calls – Daily Range: .46-1.13 – Max Gain: 146%
$142 Calls – Daily Range: .21-.70 – Max Gain: 233%

Weight Watchers International, Inc. WTW

Our regular readers will certainly recall our successful coverage of WTW as Oprah’s involvement was announced a few weeks back; we had monstrous success with our options selections, and even saw an amazing move from the stock itself. Our observed low on WTW was 10.76, and this morning we’ve seen it change hands for as much as 20.80.

With this impressive early morning gap-up, we’re going to want to jump back into the mix with another options idea. We’ll be monitoring the Weekly $18-20 Calls for potential daytrade opportunities on the dip-and-rip which is likely to occur.

Endeavor IP, Inc. ENIP

On the stock side of things, we included ENIP in our premarket extended watchlist yesterday and this super-subpenny play didn’t disappoint, offering up the chance at single-session double-bag profits!

From an early low of .0004, the stock surged toward the end of the session, reaching as high as .0009. That registered as an 125% intraday swing, and it came on more than three times the monthly average volume.
