Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SRPT Options Through the Roof & More

Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. SRPT – Update

We caught SRPT Wednesday on the heels of the stock’s 52-week low, and immediately pounced with an options idea. The SRPT Weekly $10.50 and $11 Calls produced gains of 237% and 159% respectively that day, and when we followed up in yesterday’s premarket report, we made sure readers understood that those gains would “pale in comparison” to the ones we expected once the session kicked off. We were absolutely correct.

The $10.50’s which we caught at .40 on Wednesday, set a new high of 4.23 to extend our total possible gains to 958%   $11’s whose low from Wednesday was .39 rushed to a high of 4.04, marking a two-day swing of 936%

Pertaining to SRPT stock itself, the two-session move has been impressive there as well, trading up in a range from 8.00 to 15.38, for a highly respectable 92% increase. Cheers to any of our followers who caught on with SRPT, because there were profits to be made across the board!

Chatroom Reminder

We don’t inundate our readers with reminders about our daily live traders chats (Open to all, just send a Skype contact request to ‘stocksumo‘) but every so often we like to give everyone a peek into what typically goes on.

We had our old friend DJ provide the room with a trio of ideas at midday in the shipping sector and all three (PRGN, EGLE and DRYS) continued to stack on some serious gains subsequent to the alert.

Once again, we welcome participation on any level from all of our readers, even if you just want to drop in and see what’s buzzing in the room. Just send that Skype contact request to our very own ‘stocksumo’ and he’ll get you in right away!

Bonus Shipping Play: We also want to add GLBS to the list of shippers we’ll be monitoring after this sector-wide momentum boost. We’re looking for a continuation of that today and possibly into next week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MAXD Update, Options Ideas & More

Max Sound Corp. MAXD

The first thing we want to do this morning is update our readers the performance of MAXD this week. Since we tagged MAXD for observation on Tuesday morning, the stock has gone for quite a ride. It has managed to record higher highs and higher lows every single day, and the overall span we’ve witnessed in just three sessions has been notable to say the least.

Yesterday’s high was .0478, which represented a 74% swing over our observed low of .0275 from Tuesday. Volume in that span has been significantly heavier than average, and we’ll want to continue to monitor MAXD for signs of a protracted uptrend. In order to keep our interest, the stock will need to hold support at or above a previous level of significant resistance at .032 on any pullbacks.


Nutrafuels, Inc. NTFU

We want to follow up on yesterday’s NTFU Special Report with a video presentation of the NTFU Chart, in which we’ll highlight some of the key aspects. 


If you didn’t catch yesterday’s report on NTFU, we invite you to check that out now. The company has a full line of products that are currently available, not to mention an impressive game plan for moving its business forward, that we feel warrants special consideration.

Yesterday’s news with Amazon was a big development too, so if you missed that as well, use the following link to get up to speed:

NutraFuels, Inc. (NTFU) Going Live on Amazon With Three Leading Oral-Spray Dietary Supplements; Weight-Loss, Sleep Support and Spa-Hair, Skin & Nails. (Thu, Oct 22)

We’d also suggest taking a look at the detailed investor presentation outlining the NutraSpray brand:

Fresh Options Ideas:

We’re looking for dip-and-rips out of both of the following stocks after a roughly a 10% gap-up on earnings in the premarket today in each case. For today’s quick-strike options trading radar, we’ll be tracking:

Amazon, Inc. AMZN Weekly $610-625 Calls

Microsoft Corp. MSFT Weekly $51-53.50 Calls

*Don’t forget that trading weekly options on a Friday is an inherently risky proposition, as they are on the verge of expiration. It can, however, be a chance for experienced traders to profit greatly as premiums go down and volatility rises.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: NTFU Special Report


Nutrafuels, Inc. NTFU

We’re excited about our primary point of focus today, NTFU, and the space in which the company operates. We’ve paid a lot of attention to traditional pharma plays in the past, but seldom have we run across a stock that represents the niche market of orally-introduced nutraceuticals.

The main distinction between pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, or health supplements, is the manner in which they are regulated in the US. Pharmaceuticals, even if derived from natural compounds, are meant to be used under the supervision of a licensed practitioner, available by prescription only. The guidelines surrounding nutraceuticals are far less stringent, and they may be sold over-the-counter without limitation, or a rigorous, years-long approval process.

We like NTFU because they don’t just talk a good game, but walk the walk as well, with a fully-established line of natural, orally ingested supplements that are already available for sale. By some estimates, the Health & Wellness industry is expected to grow by more than 70% over the next few years, and NTFU is uniquely positioned to take advantage of that trend. The company has gone on record in stating that a key goal is to capture a 1% market share of the oral spray category inside of the next three years, and the pieces are in place to make a good effort to do just that.

The ‘sublingual spray’ method of delivery offers a high rate of bioavailability, thanks to the human mouth’s knack for trans-dermal appropriation of nutrients. It’s also an invaluable nutrient delivery method for the estimated 40% of Americans who have trouble swallowing the large pills that are often associated with supplements. The oral spray sector of the nutraceutical industry is estimated to have an annual worth upwards of $250-300M; a 1% share of that would mean substantial yearly revenue, yet does not appear to be an unrealistic goal by any stretch.

It’s a relatively underdeveloped market, with no clear leaders or household names, and NTFU aims to change that with NutraSpray. They have a number of approaches to retailing that we find well thought out, and poised for maximum effectiveness:

In addition to the brand establishment that is well underway, on the technical side of things, we can really appreciate the share structure of NTFU. With less than 23M shares outstanding, this low-float play could be subject to substantial gains with relatively little buying pressure. NTFU is coming off of its 52-week lows of .10, so we’re coming across the stock an an opportune time, and this morning’s exciting PR is only going to add to that:

Today’s News:

COCONUT CREEK, Fla., Oct. 22, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NutraFuels Inc. (“NutraFuels” or “NTFU”), (OTC Markets OTCQB:NTFU), announced today that the company has initiated marketing and distribution of three of its leading oral-spray products on Amazon’s marketplace. >>FULL PR
