Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Ideas, Fresh Plays & More

Fresh Options Ideas

We had a good run of success with equities early on this week, so we thought it was high time to split our focus and turn our attention back to some options trading ideas. We’ve had monstrous success identifying winning calls in recent weeks, and there’s a couple of events driving the following stocks to gap up this morning. As usual, we’ll be on the lookout for dip-and-rip formations to unfold in these scenarios.

Facebook, Inc. FB – FB is soaring on the heels of a tidy earnings beat yesterday, and as a result, we’ll be scanning the FB Weekly $106-111 Calls for some exciting action today. If the premarket volatility is any indicator, we can expect to see some vigorous intraday swings from those contracts.

Expedia, Inc. EXPE – Following a confirmed buyout of HomeAway, Inc.AWAY, EXPE is popping in early trading as well. For this one, we’ll be tracking the EXPE Weekly $138-142 Calls.

AEterna Zentaris, Inc. AEZS

We’re going to be turning back to a stock that we’ve talked about in the past in AEZS. The stock registered a brand new 52-low of .04 a week ago today, and has been making solid progress in establishing higher lows off of that bottom since then.

We’re going to begin watching AEZS more closely in the sessions ahead. We’re looking specifically for a break of the current 50DMA at .074, after which there isn’t much in the way of resistance until the .10-area.

General Steel Holdings, Inc. GSI

GSI has been backsliding for quite some time and has breached well into oversold territory. When we come across a chart like this, our natural instinct is to place it on bottom-watch.

We had critical success calling out the bottoms on MIL and APDN toward the end of last week, and GSI is looking like it could be the next bounce-play.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: GROC, GDSI Recaps & More


Great Rock Development Co. GROC

During an uncertain time where others have been reticent to pull their heads out of the sand, we continue to stand and deliver. Jumping off of the page in Friday’s report was GROC which made a few appreciable swings on the day.

Following a solid 46% initial run from the .0085 low up to .0124, the stock came down to bounce off of the .0098 mark, and returned to .0115 (+17%). That preceded one final pullback to .009 before GROC ripped back to .012 (+33%) and brought the stocks cumulative intraday gain total to 96%

We had originally alerted the stock on Wednesday morning, and witnessed a low of .0055. From that mark, we’ve seen an overall move of 125% over a span of just three sessions from GROC.

Global Digital Solutions, Inc. GDSI

Another great call for us was GDSI, which had a heck of a solid session after being mentioned in Friday’s premarket report. We outlined the fact that it had just come off of a new 52-week low and it turned into another successful bottom-play.

From its low of .0016 which it recorded shortly before the lunch hour, the stock ran with strength into the close, ending the session at its high-of-day at .0025. That move was good for intraday gains of up to 56%, so cheers to any of our readers who were able to bag a nice profit.

We’ll have an eye peeled for GDSI again this morning, as is generally the case in a session following such a strong closing performance.

UVXY and VXX Options Recap

Our main point of focus on Friday was using the activity of the overall markets to leverage ourselves some nice opportunities with Weekly VXX $22.50-25.50 Calls and UVXY $48-52.50 Calls.

It wouldn’t have mattered which symbol, or which strike price in our target ranges at which traders chose to execute, because every single contract we specified provided a chance for a windfall.

The biggest gain opportunities in each set were the VXX $24.50’s which exploded on a 900% rip from .05-.50, and the UVXY $51.50’s which traded in a range from .52-2.70 for total possible intraday gains of up to 419%

AEterna Zentaris, Inc. AEZS

It’s been a few months since we last looked at AEZS, and we’re going to place it back on watch to kick off this new trading week, as the stock made an undoubtedly strong move on Friday, and closed at its high of day. That quilifies AEZS as a possible momentum play.

These present the opportunity both to ride any residual momentum, as well as position ourselves to strike on a dip-and-rip scenario, which often show their faces in situations such as this. So we’ll keep our heads on a swivel in monitoring AEZS moving forward.

Plug Power, Inc. PLUG

PLUG is an old-time favorite of ours that has made us enormous gains in the past. It’s been awhile since we lasted touched upon this one, as we were waiting for it to provide a solid signal that it was coming off of yearly lows, and over the past few sessions we’ve begun to see that.

PLUG has registered higher highs and higher lows for the past four consecutive sessions, so we’ll be monitoring the stock this week for continued progress on that front. As you can see on the included chart snapshot below, we have a RSI just cracking above the 50-line showing relative strength, and the MACD is looking quite bullish as well. There is a slight gap to fill on the chart around the 2.00-mark, and the next key resistance we’ll look to be broken will be the 50DMA of 2.13.

Kraig BioCraft Laboratories, Inc. KBLB

Despite an overall lag in the markets yesterday, due in part to the Greek financial crisis, KBLB did manage a brief surge right out of the starting gate. We tagged it for its attractiveness with regard to its positioning on the chart as well as the interesting news that was released; the company claims to have synthesized a material which is stronger than spider silk. (>>View PR)

The stock traded in a range from its opening price of .0365 up to a high of .05 inside of the first ten minutes, which marked a 37% rip.

While KBLB failed to maintain that early increase, the nature of yesterday’s news alone will cause us to reserve a spot on our watchlist for this play. If the company has indeed developed a super-material as they’ve described, it could ultimately be a game-changer in everything from the medical field, to space exploration, and nanotechnology.

Viscount Systems, Inc. VSYS

VSYS it hitting our radar as a potential bottom play with a potential news catalyst hitting presswires this morning.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 30, 2015 / Viscount Systems, Inc. (“Viscount”) (OTCQB:VSYS), a software company specializing in physical and logical security solutions, today announced that it has fully retired a convertible note held by Vis Vires Group, Inc. The convertible promissory note was issued to Viscount on March 30, 2015 at a principal amount of $169,000 bearing interest at 8% per annum and was used to resolve short term liquidity issues. >> Full PR

New Options Ideas

There’s a fair amount of uncertainty with respect to how the markets will react to the ongoing fiscal turmoil in Greece. They appear to want to rebound this morning, but it could be a false positive. It leads us to a familiar scenario, where uncertain conditions open avenues of opportunity to intuitive traders.

What we’re going to do is sit on the fence and observe SPY 205.50-207 Puts and Calls to start out with, and decide where the action will be once the overall market sentiment has been firmly established. It’s a strategy that’s served us well in the past.

We’re also going to be monitoring JUNO $60-$63.50 Calls as the stock is gapping up heavily in the premarket.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SGYP, PBR Recaps & More

Synergy Pharmaceutical, Inc. SGYP

We determined that the nature of SGYP’s premarket activity on the heels of a positive PR yesterday warranted inclusion in our morning report, and the result was yet another winning performance in what has thus far been a great week.

SGYP proceeded to trade in a daily range from its early low of 6.05 on up to 7.97, marking an intraday spike of 32% on volume which exceeded the 3-month average by more than 20X.

That momentum is spilling over into premarket trading this morning, and we’re seeing another gap up today. We’re going to be very interested to follow the action as the session kicks off, open to the possibility of another dip-and-rip.

`
Axion Power International, Inc. AXPW

Our coverage of AXPW this week yielded up big opportunities right from the start, and the trend continued early in yesterday’s session. The stock broke hard out of the starting gate and made a 30% run from .165-.214. As you can see on the 1-minute chart snapshot below, there were also a couple of subsequent swings that would follow.

AXPW ended up closing at .18, and has traded slightly higher in the premarket today.

Petroleo Brasiliero SA (Petrobras) PBR – Options

We also want to track back to a report on PBR we published on the morning of June 3rd, wherein we formulated some longer-term options ideas; specifically the 08/21 $10 and $11 Calls. The PBR chart has been ripening nicely of late, and as a result we’ve seen some nice chances for gain with those contracts.

August $10 Calls – Range: .31-.64 – Max Gain: 106%
August $11 Calls – Range: .17-.30 – Max Gain: 76%

As you can plainly see, PBR is working on one heck of a chart setup, so we’ll certainly continue to monitor these calls that have consistently been making higher lows and higher highs along with the stock.

StemCells, Inc. STEM

We want to tag STEM for observation this morning in the wake of an interested premarket PR we’ve noticed. The company has received the green light from Health Canada “to expand its Phase II clinical trial for chronic cervical spinal cord injury”. >> Read PR

The stock is gapping up in premarket trading, and if it can manage to break through its recent swing high at .74 once the session begins, things could get rather interesting.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AAPL Recap, MDCN News & More

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options Recap

To start things off this week we want to look back to Friday’s report wherein we suggested that $131 and $132 Weekly Calls would be in play for possible daytrading opportunities, and our assertion was spot-on. The trading range on the $131 Calls was from .63-1.98, which was an overall spike of 214%, while the $132’s jumped from .14 to 1.00; a total increase of 614%

Those ranges, while extremely impressive, only reflect a fraction of the total possible gains for folks with daytrading ability. As you can see on the following chart snapshots of Friday’s intraday activity, these AAPL Calls were both what we commonly refer to as a “Flipper’s Dream”. Not one, but three big swings could have provided major ammunition for top-shelf profits.

Medican Enterprises, Inc. MDCN

MDCN is a marijuana-related stock that we’ve tracked in the past that has cropped up with a noteworthy PR this morning that we think our readers ought to check out.

Additionally, following a huge a huge run in late March, the stock has been under serious consolidation so it also qualifies as a potential bottom play as well. This will definitely be one to keep on our radars this week.
