Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MACK, RITT, BIGG & More


Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. MACK

We’ve got MACK, a play that has been on our watchlist before, bringing itself to the forefront today as news about a licensing agreement has the stock gapping up to the tune of 20% in the premarket. We’re going to be interested to see how it comes out of the gate this morning in response to the announcement.

Baxter International Inc. (BAX) and Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (MACK) today jointly announced an exclusive license and collaboration agreement for the development and commercialization of MM-398 >>> GO TO PR

RiT Technologies, Inc. RITT

Another gapper, RITT is also up significantly in premarket trading this morning. The stock had a strong session yesterday, trading in a range from 1.28 – 1.97 on exceedingly heavy volume; more than ten times the monthly average, so we are looking at it for potential momentum carryover into today.

Given the nature of the yesterday’s activity, we could also be looking at a possible dip-and-rip scenario as inevitable profit-taking pares back the share price.

Big Tree Group, Inc. BIGG

BIGG was actually passed along to us awhile back by one of our subscribers. (Readers should feel encouraged to share any ideas you might have with us!) Since then we’ve had the stock on the back burner, passively following along until it was ripe for the picking. We began to see some positive movement off of the bottom yesterday, so we think now could be a good time to flag this play for more intensive monitoring.

Added Note – Options Trading Idea

GTLS was the subject of a buyout rumor yesterday, which effected some upwad movement in the stock. As a result we just want to radar the October $65 Calls, which last traded at 1.50.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: VNDA, NQ & More

NQ Mobile, Inc. NQ

Yesterday, we pointed out all the reasons why we felt that NQ was in a good position to make a run, and we certainly hope folks took it to heart, because the stock followed it up with an solid session.

We first observed a morning low of 9.40, and NQ subsequently made a healthy move to a high of 10.85 on the afternoon, which was good for an intraday gain of 15%

On the options side of things, the $10 Calls dipped as low as .35, and went on to trade as high as a 1.00. This provides a good example of why we’ve gotten more and more into trading options on big board plays. Even just a modest move on the chart can translate into huge gains on the right contracts.

NQ is gapping up to the tune of another 5% this morning, so we’ll continue to keep an eye on things as we head into week’s end.

So far, from the low we observed following our tag of NQ toward the end of last month (6.25) we’ve seen gains on the order of 77%

Vanda Pharmaceuticals, Inc. VNDA

VNDA was another NASDAQ-listed stock that appeared in yesterday’s report on the Extended Watchlist. It would trade in a range from 11.00-12.99, an 18% increase. Another modest move compared to what we’re accustomed to with the pennies, but coming from a big board play, 18% in a single afternoon is very impressive.

Like NQ, VNDA was trading near a relative bottom when we passed it along to readers, and with this new-found momentum, it will be interesting to see what happens next.

Whether or not VNDA can crack through its 50DMA (13.04) is going to be the deciding factor as to whether there’s more upside here. Yesterday’s high came in just shy of that mark, so we’ve got some resistance to contend with, but we’ll certainly be monitoring very closely for a break of that level on the chart.

Shamika 2 Gold, Inc. SHMX

SHMX is a sub-penny breakout play that we want to add to our radar this morning. Yesterday the stock traded 9x its 3-month average volume, and traded in a range from .0003-.0006. It always a good idea to be cautious when dealing with these triple-zero stocks, but as most of you know, when the potential risk is high, the potential rewards can be even higher.

We’re going to monitor this play for further activity, more specifically, a potential dip-and-rip. Should SHMX taper off and pull back, that’s where we’ll be waiting to strike. Correctly timing the bottom on one of these super–subpenny stocks can treat traders to a heck of a bounceplay as we’ve seen so many times in the past.


Side Note: AAPL Options

AAPL continued to break out yesterday past last week’s swing high of 644.17. Remember, on Monday we reminded everyone that the AAPL options chain was a good candidate to provide us with opportunities over the course of the week, and that has certainly been true thus far.  The $640 Calls were as cheap as 1.35 on that day, and by yesterday, they were going for as much as 9.50.

Huge moves like that have almost become commonplace, as we’ve tracked AAPL through a more-than 100-dollar increase in just the past couple of months.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PBR Options, Cannabis Updates

Petroleo Brasiliero SA (Petrobras) PBR – Options

–
We first began tracking the PBR options chain one week ago today (03/21), and at that time, the May 2nd $12 Calls that we pointed out were trading as low as .31. With the exception of a marginal pullback on Wednesday, PBR has been in a recovery uptrend since recently touching its all-time lows, and that has allowed us to see some excellent gain opportunities.

Yesterday brought more new highs as the $12 Calls closed at a new high of 1.10, a 255% gain from our initial alert low. Since there is plenty of time before their expiration, we will stay interested in these contracts, with the continued recovery of PBR’s share price.

For some intraday opportunities we may consider moving up our strike price, and checking out the $12.50, or even the $13 Weekly Calls. In the event of another breakout-type session, we could possibly go as high as the $13.50’s. It’s always about being pushed in the money when we’re looking at our potential strike prices.

Surna, Inc. SRNA

SRNA is a stock to recently wake up from the dead, and like so many other new interests we’ve found, has been gaining ground on the strength of its entry into the increasingly trendy marijuana space.

That alone would have been cause to keep an eye on this stock moving forward. Another reason  SRNA has garnered a spot on our watchlist, is that per this morning’s PR, it’s now headed up by Zynga co-founder Tom Bollich. It will be interesting to see what someone of his expertise can bring to the rapidly burgeoning cannabis market.

Today’s News:
BOULDER, CO–(Marketwired – Mar 28, 2014) – Surna Inc. (OTCQB: SRNA), a company focused on the acquisition of cannabis industry related intellectual property, disruptive technologies, assets and scalable operating companies, today announced it has closed a merger with Safari Resource Group, Inc.

In conjunction with the transaction, Tom Bollich, visionary technologist and co-founder of San Francisco-based gaming company Zynga, has joined Surna as chief executive officer and a member of the Board of Directors. Additionally, the Company has appointed two other senior executives, Doug McKinnon and Tae Darnell, to its Board. >> FULL PR


Tranzbyte Corp. ERBBAlthough it has been on our radar since 2012, we began talking about ERBB more heavily at the start of the “Green Rush”, which coincided with the beginning of trading in 2014.

At the time, we observed a low of .0026, and to say the stock has gone on to make massive gains is quite an understatement.  As of its recent high of .113, we were looking at an overall move of 4246% In a span of roughly three months, that is an unbelievable gain opportunity.

ERBB has been under consolidation since hitting that high, and is sniffing out a bottom, currently in the low .06-range, but we’ll want to keep an eye peeled after this morning’s PR, the company having set the launch date of its cannabis-vending solution, the ZaZZZ(TM) Machine.
