Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPDC Update, Options Ideas & More

Speed Commerce, Inc. SPDC

We tagged SPDC for observation in our premarket report on Friday, and what has followed is two consecutive days of upward momentum.

We observed a low of .018 on Friday morning, and a subsequent high of .0289 for an intraday gain of 61% Then yesterday the stock traded in a range from .0289 to .041, for a 42% intraday rip. All told, SPDC made an total session-over-session swing of 128% since we began tracking the stock.

We’ll continue to do so for the time being- the recovery off of recently recorded annual lows has been rapid, as can be seen on the following chart snapshot. A return to PPS-levels of just a few weeks ago would mean significant gains from the current price, so we’ll have our eyes peeled for the possibility of a continued uptrend.

Fresh Options Ideas

After poring over the earnings calendar from post-market yesterday and this morning, we came across a pair of interesting plays for which we’ll formulate a couple of correlated options ideas.

FirstMerit Corp. FMER

Despite an earnings miss this morning, FMER is flying in premarket trading on concurrent news of a $3.4B buyout/merger with Huntington Bancshares in a deal that will effectively create the state of Ohio’s largest regional bank. We’re going to tag the FMER 02/19 $17.50 and $20 Calls for potential dip-and-rip scenarios.

Rambus, Inc. RMBS

Regarding RMBS, we’re seeing a classic earnings-beat gap up to the tune of 7% in early trading today. Better than expected figures were released post-market yesterday, so we’ll be tracking a set of contracts here as well. Specifically, the RMBS 02/19 $12 Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Form-4 Watchlist, Options Ideas & More

Insider Buying Watchlist

Both of the following are plays that we’ve tracked in some capacity in the past, and each of them grabbed our attention with recent insider transactions of a sizable magnitude which were executed at higher levels than the current PPS. We like to monitor stocks whose directors have confidence in future price performance, and that’s the impression we get when they soak up large blocks of shares in this manner. Each of these stocks is also currently trading at a relative bottom, so we’ll be watching in the days and weeks to come for signs of bounceplay opportunities. 

The ExOne Co.  XONE

In the case of XONE, CEO Kent Rockwell last weekend filed a Form-4 indicating the purchase of a $13M block of XONE at 9.13, more than a dollar per share higher than the current PPS. This is a significant development that warrants heavy monitoring for XONE.

Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. ESPR

The traunch of shares purchased by ESPR director Tim Mayleben wasn’t nearly as large as the previously mentioned block, but still, a $100K investment is nothing at which to sneeze. The trade was executed at 14.08 (Current PPS:13.77). ESPR has just come up off of its newly established 52-week lows, and has been going through a bout of serious under-performance, so we’ll want to keep our heads on a swivel for any developments that might kick this thing into gear.

Fresh Options Ideas

To kick things off this week on the options front, we’ve formulated a couple of ideas based on announced and expected earnings, and the resultant activity we’re observing here in the premarket.

Tiffany & Co. TIF

We’re looking at going bearish on TIF, which, on the heels of a lackluster holiday season in terms of jewelry sales, failed to meet or beat earnings expectations and is currently gapping down in early trading. We’re going to track a range of contracts here, namely the TIF Weekly $66.50-64 Puts, for potential daytrades.

Netflix, Inc. NFLX

NFLX has its earnings call slated for the post-market today, and we’re going to want to track a range of calls in anticipation of that event. We’ve witnessed runs into earnings so many times before, it’d almost be foolish to ignore NFLX under the present circumstances. We’re going to keep an eye on NFLX Weekly $105-107 Calls to take advantage of a possible continued run-up for the stock.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SBFM Update, Options Idea & More

Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. SBFM

We initially tagged SBFM for observation four sessions back (exactly one week ago) after noticing abnormal activity the day prior, and were immediately met with a big run from .008-.0183 (129%) that first day. In each of the sessions since the stock has recorded higher lows and to open up 2016 trading yesterday the stock jumped to impressive new highs.

From a daily low of .013 SBFM made a nice intraday move totaling 65% as pushed its upper limits to a .0214 on heavy volume.  That represented an overall swing in the three sessions since we’ve  been tracking it to a highly respectable 168%

The overall uptrend kicked off with the revelation that the company had acquired all of the worldwide patents for its “anticancer compound”, Adva-27a >>>VIEW PR

Breathe eCig Corp. BVAP

BVAP was an item of interest in our report from last Wednesday, and it took only three sessions to realize the big move we suspected might be in store. The company has been consistently retiring its convertible debt in tranches over the past several months, and a deal that will allow for full repayment was the subject of an announcement that hit wires yesterday. (VIEW PR)

That news helped to push the stock to a new high of .0039, which from our observed low of .0015 on the day of our initial alert, goes down in the books as a three-day swing of 160%

Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. SWHC – Options Idea

SWHC caught our eye in the premarket this morning and struck us as a possible opportunity to see some big intraweek swings in some options calls. As the Obama administration presses for heightened restrictions on firearms, gun manufacturers are reporting exceptionally increased demand.

Add in yesterday’s post-market earnings which reflected bolstered sales and 2016 guidance, and we have a potential recipe for continued bullishness.

As a result, we want to put a range of options on our radars; specifically the SWHC Weekly $24-26 Calls. We’ll be in the lookout for a possible dip-and-rip scenario to kick things off, and will remain interested as long as the dip carries the stock no lower than $24.
