Cannabis Stock Explosion in Progress

Aphria, Inc. APHA – Options Recap

Our sole point of focus in terms of fresh options plays in yesterday morning’s premarket report, was a tight range of calls in the APHA chain on the heels of the company’s earning report- the APHA Weekly $10-11 Calls to be exact. Despite a down day for the markets at large, we saw this cannabis stock buck the trend on the strength of increased price targets relating to the company’s impending merger with Tilray, Inc. TLRY, another pot stock with which we’ve had some experience in the past.

The gains on our target contracts for the day yesterday were quite impressive as you’ll see below, but based on the premarket activity we’re observing this morning, we expect the following ranges and total possible gains to explode at the open today.  Read on to find the expanded set of targets that we’re going to formulate for APHA for today and into next week.

APHA Weekly $10-11 Calls
$10:
 .70-2.25 (+221%)
$10.50: .40-1.70 (+325%)
$11: .28-1.20 (+329%)

As we said above, we expect those figures to increase today, and going forward we’re going to add the APHA Weekly $13-14 Calls, and the APHA 01/22 $15 Calls into our pool of tracked contracts. We’ll also include the TLRY Weekly $21-22 Calls just for good measure.

We’re also going to include a wide range of OTC-traded cannabis penny stocks to track below, as the legislative environment is about to shift dramatically toward favorable conditions for federal reclassification, and the business opportunities it will provide should be like nothing we’ve seen to date.

Blue Horseshoe Stock: TPLM Recap & More

Triangle Petroleum Corp. TPLM

The first thing we want to do this morning is congratulate ourselves for our timely call of TPLM in yesterday’s extended watchlist, as well as any of our readers who were able to take advantage.

The timing was indeed impeccable; Wednesday’s bullish session brought the stock comparatively modest gains compared to what was on the table yesterday. TPLM traded up from an early morning low of .35 and reached .63, for a highly respectable intraday run of 80%

The move occurred on volume which exceeded the monthly average by more than seven times, and the stock managed to close just a shade under its high-of-day at .615, qualifying it for continued observation as a potential momentum play. We’ll look for higher highs and higher lows as have occurred over each of the past three days.


INTREorg Systems, Inc. IORG

We most recently were discussing IORG in our report dated May 25th, subsequent to which we would observe quite a significant uptrend. As you can plainly see on the included chart below, it has been stringing together solid performances for two weeks straight.

Our observed low on the stock was .32 on the 27th, and since then it’s been off to the races, and yesterday the stock managed an impressive new high of 1.09 before closing with strength just a tick below that. For us to remain heavily interested in this play moving forward we are going to need to see it maintain support at or above the channel of previous resistance we’ve highlighted on the chart from .80-.98.


Fresh Options Ideas 

To close things out for the week, we’re going to provide a couple of options ideas with expirations set for next Friday, so this won’t carry the same warning we usually issue about trading weekly contracts at the end of the week. We are still quite intrigued with the possibilities for the following ranges of contracts in these two plays over the next several sessions:

H&R Block, Inc. HRB – 06/17 $21-23 Calls

Global Blood Therapeutics,Inc. GBT – 06/17 $20-30 Calls
