Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AMBS Recap & More

Amarantus Bioscience Holdings, Inc. AMBS

AMBS is a stock we’ve been quite familiar with in the past, and we recently turned our attention back to the stock, tagging it in both Friday’s and yesterday’s premarket reports. What has transpired is a solid two-session surge.

Friday saw the stock run from .66-.81 (+23%), and yesterday the bullish trend strengthened as AMBS traded up from .72 to a new high of 1.47. That went down as an intraday pop of 104%, and extends our total observed range in just two trading days to 123%

We want to continue to keep our eyes peeled for further activity in AMBS throughout the remainder of the week, as this morning’s PR regarding positive clinical results adds to its near-term potential significantly.

VitaCig, Inc. VTCQ

VTCQ was a continued point of focus for us in yesterday’s morning report. We initially tagged it last Wednesday morning, and had already tracked it over an impressive 245% range from .0042-.0145. The stock kicked off this new trading week in volatile fashion, first running 57% from .0159-.025, followed by a dip-and-rip as it came down to .0134 before ripping back to .0195 (+46%).

Yesterday’s high marked a bullish swing of 495% over the low we witnessed late last week, in a matter of just three sessions!

Agritek Holdings, Inc. AGTK

Speaking of dip-and-rip action, another of the stocks we highlighted in yesterday’s newsletter was AGTK, and it too recorded multiple moves during yesterday’s trading.

It flew out of the starting gate from .0013 and nearly made a double-bagger as it soared to .0025, for an initial pop of 92% That was followed up by a drop down to .0017 before its third reversal on the day carried it to a new high of .0028. That second move amounted to 65% and the total range from the daily low to the high came out to 115%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Friday’s Options Success & More

VXX & SPY Options Recap

We ended last week on an extremely strong note with respect to our premarket options-trading ideas. As we’ve done so many times this year, we offered up some target ranges in which we felt we’d see big activity, and every single contract highlighted therein would go on to make huge intraday swings.

We outlined our interest in the VXX $20 and 19.50 Puts SPY $206-207 Calls, specifying that we’d flip to VXX Calls and SPY Puts in the event that the VXX breached its premarket high of 19.70. That never occurred, we therefore stuck with the original idea, and the possible gains afforded to whoever was paying attention were quite large:

VXX

$20 Puts  – Trading Range: .59-1.79  – Max Gain: 341%
$19.50 Puts – Trading Range: .29-1.28   – Max Gain: 203%

SPY

$206 Calls – Trading Range: .75-3.91  – Max Gain: 421%
$206.50 Calls – Trading Range: .48-3.42   – Max Gain: 612%
$207 Calls – Trading Range: .31-2.05 – Max Gain: 561%

VitaCig, Inc. VTCQ

We put VTCQ on watch in this past Wednesday’s morning report, and the stock made one heck of a two-session swing from the following morning to Friday afternoon’s closing bell.

Friday’s move alone was quite impressive- the stock ran from .008-.145 which comes out to an intraday pop of 81%  Our observed low of .0042 came promptly at the open on Thursday, and measured from that point, Friday’s closing price represents a total move of 245%

Granted the fact that we did see VTCQ close at its high of day on roughly three times its monthly average volume, we will want to leave this play on our radars. As usual we’ll look for it to record higher highs and higher lows, and to retain our attention, it will need to maintain support at or above .01. The next key area of resistance appears to be sitting at .0181.

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.

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.
