Blue Horseshoe Stocks: VXX Options & More

iPath S&P 500 VIX ST Futures ETN (VXX) – Options

We were just mentioning our daily live trader’s chats* in yesterday morning’s report, so we thought we’d give our readers another peek into the activity that goes on in the room. Yesterday around lunchtime, as you can see from the included screenshot below, we were observing the market action caused by the FOMC meeting that was in session at the time.

We noticed new highs in the VXX and signaled our interest in the $19 Calls. We also looked at the SPY, which generally trades inversely to the VXX, and alerted on the $207 Puts; both ideas worked quite well. The VXX $19 Calls ran from .49 to 1.52, a 201% intraday pop. The Spy $207 Puts also offered a nice opportunity as they ran more than 130% from the low 1.30’s to over 3.00.

To follow up with these ideas today, based on premarket activity, we are currently anticipating of a reversal from yesterday’s trends and will thus radar SPY $206-207 Calls, and VXX $20 and 19.50 Puts. However, if the VXX were to break its premarket high of 19.70, it would cause us to flip our targets back to the other side of the fence, so we’ll need to be extremely tuned in once the session gets moving.

*For those that didn’t catch yesterday’s reminder- we welcome any of our readers to get involved with our daily traders chats by sending a Skype contact request to ‘stocksumo’.

Avon Products, Inc. AVP

We’re going to place AVP on watch today as well, due to a number of factors. Setting aside the potentiality of an upcoming buyout of its North American business which has met with some resistance (View Article), AVP is setting itself up one heck of a chart. In today’s premarket trading the stock has breached the resistance line we identify on the following snapshot. There appears to be a good chance to see AVP add to its recent gains which have been fairly steady in recent weeks.

Despite public dissent from one of its large stakeholders, it appears that AVP will still attempt to move forward with their exploration of a proposed buyout (View PR), so it will be very interesting to track this play as that story continues to unfold.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ADTM, THCZ & More

Adaptive Medias, Inc. ADTM

We highlighted ADTM several weeks ago on January 28th, and on that day we witnessed a low of 1.58. Over the course of the following month, the stock would gradually make its way to a high of 3.10 (March 4th). That was quite a substantial run, topping out at an increase of 96%

It took another eight sessions for ADTM to come down off of those highs and find support, which it did at 2.00 last Thursday. Since then it has been registering higher lows, and yesterday reached back to a PPS high of 2.41 (+20%), so we’re going to re-radar the stock and keep watch over it into next week.

Totally Hemp Crazy, Inc. THCZ

Another high-performance stock that we first came across a few months back was THCZ. We found this gem back on December 18th and it made a 38% gain for us that day as it ran from .013-.018, but the fun certainly wasn’t over.

It took about six weeks of essentially trading sideways before THCZ would begin one of the most epic runs we’ve seen from a cannabis related play since the ‘Green Rush’ of early 2014. It culminated in a new high during Wednesday’s session, with shares changing hands for as much as .14. That represents a massive spike from the lows we observed in late December totaling 977%

At this point, we’ll be watching to see where THCZ finds support again, where we’ll be waiting for the possibility of a bounce-play on the subsequent rebound. The company put out a fresh PR this morning as well.

Amarantus Bioscience Holdings, Inc. AMBS

We also want to make note of AMBS as the week draws to a close. We have an extensive history with this play, and we re-flagged it on Monday morning as a “Bottom-Watch” play. The ultimate low would come across the tape at the beginning of yesterday’s session at .05 before AMBS began to bounce back.

It reached its way back to .0595 (+18%) and closed there. Moving forward, we’re going to be looking for AMBS to register higher highs and higher lows off of its bottom. The stock was trading as high as .086 at the beginning of this month, and a return to that area from current levels would spell gains on the order of 40%

SIDE NOTE: Speaking of stocks on bottom-watch, we want to call attention to Ohr Pharmaceuticals, Inc. OHRP. The company announced this morning that it had failed to meet its goals in a Phase II study of its OHR-102 drug, and got absolutely crushed in premarket trading down to a low of 2.68. It has recovered slightly, and we’re going to have an eye on OHRP as the session kicks off. The rebound off of such a downturn could be significant.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Recap, Cyber-Security Watchlist & More

Recapping Friday’s Options Ideas

Nike, Inc. NKE –  On Friday morning, NKE was in the midst of gapping up on the heels of its earnings call, and we came up with daytrading ideas for the $100-104 Weekly Calls. There turned out to be great opportunity in that range as NKE surged to a daily high of 103.79:

$100 Calls – Range:1.38-3.75 – Max Gain: 172%
$101 Calls – Range: .70-2.80 – Max Gain: 300%
$102 Calls – Range: .18-1.75 – Max Gain: 872%
$103 Calls – Range: .10-.85 – Max Gain: 750%

____

Prothena Corp plc PRTA was the other options target we were monitoring on Friday for swing trades.  Specifically, we were looking at the $40 and $45 Calls, and both sets of contracts made big initial moves, followed by pullbacks and additional swings later in the session.

The $35 Calls first shot out of the gate trading at a low of  5.32 and running as high as 9.50 for an initial pop of 78%, before tapering back to 2.40 then recovering to 3.92, for an added 63% move.

The $40’s would open with a 116% spike from 3.00-6.50, followed by a later swing from 2.45-2.90, an extra 18% swing.

Cyber-Security Watchlist

We want to re-radar a couple of cyber security firms that we’ve mentioned in the past, as they have both been on a bit of a downtrend, yet appear to be gapping up this morning.

 CyberArk Software Ltd. CYBR  & FireEye, Inc. FEYE are going to go back on our active watchlist as we kick off a new trading week. Once we’re able to confirm reversals for each of these plays, we can then begin to formulate options strategies accordingly. Stay tuned to our reports this week, and we’ll be sure to have some ideas to pass along.

MWIP, AMBS, AQLV, BMSN & Extended Watchlist

We have every reason to be proud of yesterday’s newsletter. Out of four stocks, every single one was in the green, with three of them making substantial gains possible for ourselves and our readers.

MWIP hit a high of .036 after coming off its low of .03 in the first 30 minutes of trading on Monday, for a quick 20% gain. From last week’s low of .02, marks an 80% gain.Remember, we have already seen gains from MWIP on the order of 1795% from .0024-.0455; Yesterday’s action tacked on another 100%, bringing our total cumulative gains to just under 1900%

___

Amarantus Bioscience, Inc. AMBS

AMBS has been another shooting star since we have been observing its uptrend. The first run took us from .017 to .195, ringing the register for a 1047% gain.

Last week AMBS established a new support level in the upper .05-range where we observed a bounce into this week. Yesterday’s range was between .08-.115, closing out the day at .11. That gave us the opportunity for over 38% in gains intraday, and over 100% from last week’s low.

___

Aqualiv Technologies, Inc. AQLV

We keened in on AQLV in our afternoon alert on Wednesday, January 8th, at which time we added it to our extended watchlist.

Thursday AQLV saw a low of .0023, following our calls and hitting a high of .012 yesterday. We have already been afforded the opportunity at 422% in gains from this stock.

___

Bio-Matrix Scientific Group, Inc. BMSN

BMSN has been another monster mover for us, having ran from .0006-.0024 prior to yesterday’s breakout. After our initial run we were on the lookout for a higher level of support to be established in the .001 range. The support we were looking for at .001 did indeed hold strong and yesterday we saw a breakout to new highs on great dollar volume.

Bumping its head into resistance at the 200DMA of .0038, BMSN brings our total possible gains to 533%

___

That’s all very impressive, yet still doesn’t include the gains we saw from a few of the picks in yesterday’s extended watchlist:

BMSN, MWIP, AMBS, AQLV & Extended Watchlist

Bio-Matrix Scientific Group, Inc. BMSN

We recently (Jan.3rd) stated that we wanted to see BMSN hold support at .001, and the stock has done so thus far. On Friday, the stock broke out, breaching its 100DMA, and closing near its HOD at .0023.

The current key resistance is sitting at the previous high of .0024. We are anticipating a solid performance from BMSN to kick off the week, judging from Friday’s activity.

___

In a recent report, we were looking for MWIP to hold support off of .0199 “for us to remain bullish” which it did; that level is now also currently coinciding with the 20DMA. As you can see on the included chart below, the next resistance point is at .0455

___

Amarantus Bioscience, Inc. AMBS

AMBS has been one of our best plays so far this year, yielding opportunity for gains on the order of 1047% just recently. Considering the amount of dollar volume flowing through this stock, we’ve been suspecting that AMBS would continue to furnish us with sizable profits.

Friday saw the first significant bounce since the stock pulled back off of it’s recent high at .195. The stock rebounded from .0572 (just below the 50DMA of .061) and hit its high at the 20DMA of .094, our current resistance point.

We also published a video chart for AMBS to our YouTube channel last night.

___

Aqualiv Technologies, Inc. AQLV

AQLV has been a flipper’s paradise since we began watching it Wednesday afternoon. In Friday morning’s report, we pointed out that it was possible to have pulled in 209% worth of gains to that point. The stock then proceeded to pile on an additional 71% in gains from .0042-.0072, trading more volume than Wednesday and Thursday combined. With that kind of Friday momentum, we are expecting a strong start to what could be another great week for AQLV.
