Blue Horseshoe Stocks: New Options Ideas & More

Options Ideas

JP Morgan Chase & Co. JPM 
– The first item on our agenda this morning is going to be to formulate an options trading idea for JP Morgan on the heels of the company’s earnings beat this morning, which has the stock gapping up here in the premarket.

We’re going to be zeroing in on the JPM Weekly $63.50-65.50 Calls for potential daytrades, and/or swing trades into tomorrow, depending on how the activity unfolds.

Seagate Technology Holdings, Inc. STX – STX has recently been making a nice move after a large gap-up earlier this week. In the premarket it is pressing past the 200DMA(30.20) and looks as if it could continue to truck higher and fill the gap on the chart to $33.

We have a couple corresponding options ideas that could be in line for some nice gains; for daytrading opportunities this week, the STX Weekly $30-31 Calls, and the STX 07/22 $30.50-31.50 Calls for potential swing trades into next week.



Updates on Recent Interests

SAExploration Holdings, Inc. SAEXLast week, we tagged SAEX as a bottom-watch play and after a few sessions of mostly sideways trading, the stock has finally begun to get some legs this week. The bottom, and our observed low, came in at .1385, and yesterday SAEX hit .298. That works out to a four session swing of 115%

______

Gold Resource Corp. GORO –  We’ve been tracking GORO closely since we entered it into the conversation at the end of June. At the time we had observed a PPS low of 3.19, and yesterday the stock continued to push its upper limits with a new high of 5.50. That represents an overall swing of 72% and a new 52-week high as well. Firmly in blue sky breakout territory, we’ll continue to keep an eye on GORO.

______

Lot78, Inc. LOTE – After tracking it to some nice gains last week, we saw LOTE pull back slightly yesterday, to a swing low of .016 before it rebounded 37% back to .022. We’ll look for the stock to retest our previously observed high of .03, the breaching of which would put this one into blue sky breakout mode as well!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Pharma Watchlist & More

Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ATNM

We want to start things off this morning by taking a look at ATNM, for a couple of reasons. First, from a technical standpoint, the chart appears to be coming off of a relative bottom, and a number of indicators suggest that a sizable upswing could occur in coming sessions.

Those include a MACD and Histogram that look to be gearing up for a possible cross into bullish territory. Each of the past two times that occurred, the stock saw an appreciable move to the upside. The RSI also looks to be coming off of being oversold- we’ll be looking for a break of that 50-line, and the registering of higher lows and higher highs as ATNM attempts to establish a continued trend off of its recent lows.


The other factor that is indirectly drawing us to ATNM is the fact that it operates in the Pharma sector, which is sure to be at the forefront of the news with a couple of huge buyouts. Pfizer has bought Anacor (ANAC) and Luminex bought Nanosphere (NSPH). Whenever we see groundbreaking events happening in biopharma, there tends to be a rise in overall activity for the industry.

That’s why, in addition to ATNM, we’ll be placing the following couple of stocks on watch as we kick off another trading week: Inovio Biomedical, Inc. INO, and Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. SRNE


3D Systems Corp. DDD

After an impressive run-up on the chart which lasted from January to April, DDD has taken a pretty substantial pounding in the month of May.

The stock came down to bounce off of its 200DMA on Thursday, and recorded higher highs and higher lows on Friday. We’ll look for a continuation of that trend into today, and monitor DDD for a possible recovery. We will need to see the stock hold support at or above the current 200DMA of 11.73 on any pullbacks in order for it to hold our interest. A return to its PPS levels from the end of April from this juncture would produce potential gains of at least 50%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Updates on PPCH, Options & More

Propanc Health Group Corp. PPCH

We played PPCH like a fiddle this week, after calling attention to it in Tuesday morning’s premarket report. That morning, we observed a low of .0188 and the stock hasn’t looked back since. What followed has been three consecutive sessions of higher highs and higher lows.

Yesterday’s intraday performance alone was quite respectable, with PPCH running from a daily low of .0225 to a new high of .037. That represented a spike of 64% on the day, and a total increase of 97% over our observed low from Tuesday.

We’ll be interested in PPCH as long as it maintains support above the current 50DMA (.019), while the next bank of resistance is sitting at the 200DMA at .042.


Dollar General, Inc. (DG)

We offered our two cents on how to take advantage of Dollar General’s earnings beat yesterday, and that was with the DG Weekly $78-80.50 Calls. With the exception of the 80.50’s, which didn’t trade much volume, every one of the contracts in our target range exploded for exponential gains!

$78 Calls – Trading Range: .55-5.00 – Max Gain: 809%
$78.50 Calls – Trading Range: .40-4.70 – Max Gain: 1075%
$79 Calls – Trading Range: .60-3.53 – Max Gain: 488%
$79.50 Calls – Trading Range: .27-2.10 – Max Gain: 678%
$80 Calls – Trading Range: .66-2.79 – Max Gain: 323%

SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) – Weekly $199-202 Calls

Finisar Corp FNSR – Weekly  $15 and $16 Calls

Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc. ULTA – Weekly $175-185 Calls

*As we always do, let us warn our readers o  the extreme caution which must be exercised by anyone attempting to trade weekly contracts on Friday. It’s a high risk proposition, and not for the faint of heart!


Mexus Gold US  MXSG

We also want to take a second and update readers on another of our recent successes. MXSG started appearing on our radars back on February 5th when it was as low as .0016. In a little over a month’s time we’ve witnessed a 1025% gain (a/o yesterday’s .018 high).

Those who may have missed that original alert still could have caught our reminder this week on Wednesday. The stock was trading as low as .011 at the time, and at yesterday’s high mark, we’d seen a two-session swing of 64%
