Winning Stock Picks 

Before we close up shop for New Year’s Day, we wanted to go over some really solid stock ideas we’ve recently mentioned, including two picks from yesterday morning’s premarket report, as well as one we brought up last week.

Sevara Inc. SVRA – This stock, which we had in yesterday’s extended watchlist, ended up as the NASDAQ’s number one gainer of the day on the basis of where it had gapped up from the previous session. It traded from a low of 3.21 up to 5.20, an intraday push of 62%
____

NIO Ltd. NIO – Also tagged in yesterday’s watchlist, we got a nice move out of NIO that registered as the #3 big board performance of the day. This one ran from a low of 2.88 and hit 4.87, marking a respectable gain of 69%
____

OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp. OWCP – We slated this OTC stock for observation when we returned from the Christmas break on Thursday, and in the few sessions since, we’ve seen an incredible performance. From its low of .028 on Thursday, it has reached a new high of .0699, which represents a three day swing of 150%

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc. CBRL – Recap

First up this morning is a quick recap of the fresh options idea we formulated for yesterday morning’s premarket report. We had designated the CBRL Weekly $165-170 Calls as our targets of interest.

Two of those three contract sets produced opportunities for multi-bag gains on the day, with the third not far behind: 

$165 Calls – Range: 5.25-9.57 – Max Gain:
227%
$167.50 Calls – Range: 1.20-3.50 – Max Gain: 393%
$170 Calls – Range: .56-1.45 – Max Gain: 227%


DURRECT Corp. DRRX – Recap 

DRRX is a play that we began tracking last month (08/07). Following that initial report, we observed the stock trading for as little 1.22.

In the four weeks which have followed, DRRX has been a steady riser, stair-stepping its way gradually up to its new high yesterday of an even 2.00/share. That works out to a very respectable rise of 64%


Neurotrope, Inc. NTRP

We also want to shine a light on the current setup of the chart on NTRP. Poor marks on for its Alzheimer’s treatment should have pushed it down quite a bit, but there seems to be no readily apparent reason why the stock should have fallen as low as it did following the lackluster report on the company’s clinical trials.

At present the stock is hugely oversold, and from a technical standpoint alone, could begin a reversal on little more than a breath of air. Indication from the MACD suggests convergence toward a bullish cross in the making. Should enough people catch on to the present scenario and load up cheap shares at current pricing, it could happen sooner rather than later. Even a partial fill of the massive gap on the chart would mean big gain chances.


Fresh Options Ideas:
FDX Weekly $157.50-155 Puts
UPS Weekly $120-119 Puts

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Stock Updates

Catalyst Pharma Inc. CPRX

We saw a very impressive new high for a stock that we’ve been tracking off of a bottom since February 8th. CPRX traded for as little as 2.36 that day, and has never looked back, spending most of the 7 weeks since then in a general uptrend that really kicked into high gear yesterday.

The stock ultimately reached 5.25 before closing just a penny below that point. That works out to an upswing of 122% in well under two months’ time.


Axsome Therapuetics, Inc. AXSM 

Speaking of stock runners, we called out AXSM for observation just last Thursday, and wanted to drop back in on it to comment regarding its performance thus far. From a low of 11.75 on Thursday morning, the stock has now reached as high as 16.38. That’s a relatively modest but still very respectable gain of 39% in a span of just three sessions.
