Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Momentum Movers & More

APT Systems, Inc. APTY

Here’s another multi-day momentum play that we’ve been tracking very closely. We first alerted APTY the the Friday before last, observing a low of .0036 at the time. By Friday morning, at which time we specified that we’d be tracking this play into this week, the stock had reached a high of .0125 (+247%).

Our decision to remain interested in the play paid dividends once again, as APTY had another exceedingly strong session Friday afternoon, running up another 65% intraday from .0099 to a new high of .0164. It marked an overall move of 356% in just a six-session span, so a big congrats goes out to any of our readers who were able to use this momentum-mover to their advantage.


NovaVax, Inc. NVAX

When we tagged NVAX in last Monday morning’s report we had a pretty good indication that the stock was in line for a significant rebound, and our expectations have been met at every turn. The stock has now strung together an impressive five consecutive sessions wherein a new high was achieved.

The stock traded in a modest daily range from 2.17-2.41, and from the low we witnessed a week ago today, that new upper limit has extended our potential gains on this play in the same time frame to a highly respectable 77%

As long as NVAX continues to achieve higher highs and higher lows, it will be afforded a slot on our watchscreens.


ACRE Reality Investments, Inc. AIII

Speaking of momentum plays, we tagged AIII in Tuesday morning’s premarket report, as a potential bottom-bounce candidate, and it too achieved higher highs and higher lows every single day following our initial flag.

The low we saw on Tuesday was 1.0194, and the subsequent recovery took it to a high of 1.42; a comparatively modest, yet still healthy 39% Just like the above-mentioned plays, AIII did enough throughout the course of last week to keep us interested in continuing to track its progress.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SGBY Recap, BBRG & More

Signal Bay, Inc. SGBY

SGBY was a solid call from yesterday morning’s premarket report, as the stock continued a run that began on Thursday, and continued to go strong. We watched as SGBY traded in a daily range from .003 on up to .0042, for a very respectable intraday run of 40%

We’ll look for the stock to set a higher low today, maintaining a level greater than yesterday’s swing low, and the next key area of resistance is sitting at .0052.


Viper Energy Partners LP VNOM – Options Update

We tagged VNOM for observation on Friday, along with a corresponding options trading idea. Our interests were the 09/16 $15 and $17.50 Calls, and while the $15’s didn’t see appreciable levels of volume, the 17.50’s have made quite a nice move over the preceding two sessions.

From a low of .15, the $17.50 Calls have reached .45, for a nice, round, 200% pop over that two-session span.

VNOM will be trying for its sixth straight trading day posting higher highs and higher lows today, and with several weeks remaining until the expiration of those contracts, we’ll be interested in tracking this play further in sessions to come.


Bravo Brio Restaurant Group, Inc. BBRG

We want to highlight BBRG this morning as a potential bottom-bouncer. This stock fell off an absolute cliff a few sessions back following a disappointing Q2 earnings report, and after settling into a new 52-week low on Friday, appears to have begun showing some bounce activity.

We always tag plays like these when we run across them, as they have often turned into solid recovery plays for us in the past.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SVTE, SALE Updates & More

Service Team, Inc. SVTE

We placed SVTE on watch in Tuesday morning‘s report and have been rewarded with an amazing two-day run that has carried it from subpenny territory, straight into Pennyland.

The move we observed on Tuesday was a relatively modest 41% from the low of .0039 to the closing price of .0055, but yesterday, things really kicked into high gear.

SVTE opened up at that .0055 price-point and took off like a bat out of hell, reaching its impressive new high of .0188 shortly before 1PM. It marked an excellent intraday upswing of 242%, and boosted our two-session observed range to a laudable 382% Cheers to anyone who caught a piece of the action!


Pocket Games, Inc. PKGM

We’ve been exceedingly pleased with PKGM’s performance in the couple of weeks we’ve been tracking the stock, after having observed more than a 560% swing.

Yesterday brought yet another chance to make quick-strike profits off of this play from the outset of the session, as it quickly performed a dip-and-rip from the daily low of .0128 to the high of .0195 (+52%) in the first half hour of trading.

A secondary opportunity was afforded to those that continued to watch intently as PKGM came down to find support and make a solid rebound from .014 back to .018 in the closing minutes of the session. That amounted to an added 29% swing, and the stock closed just a tick below at .017. We’ll look for it to maintain support above yesterday’s swing-low in order for it to keep our interest moving forward.


RetailMeNot, Inc. SALE

We also want to provide a quick update on SALE, which we tagged as a bottom-watch play in yesterday’s premarket report. After taking an absolute beating over a poor earnings release, our timing in calling the bottom couldn’t have been much better as is evident on the snapshot below.

We’ve had luck in the past with stocks in these situations where investor disappointment leads to a knee-jerk selloff.  We’re going to leave SALE on our radars in the sessions to come, on the possibility that a protracted rebound is forthcoming.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Cleaning Up on Options Trading

Options Winners

We’ve been firing on all cylinders with regard to our short term options ideas recently. Yesterday we offered up some ideas for AAPL and BIIB and in both cases, multi-bag intraday returns were attainable no matter which set of contracts were chosen from our target ranges.

Apple, Inc. AAPL

We went bearish on AAPL for a number of reasons, chief among them being a disappointing earnings release, and negative statements by CEO Tim Cook. We were looking for activity in the range of the AAPL Weekly $97-95.50 Puts provided the stock continued to backslide, and were duly rewarded for the idea.

$97 Puts – Trading Range: 1.58-3.72  – Max Gain: 135%
$96.50 Puts – Trading Range: 1.27-3.27 – Max Gain: 157%
$96 Puts – Trading Range: 1.05-2.85 – Max Gain: 171%
$95.50 Puts – Trading Range: .83-2.45  – Max Gain: 195%
$95 Puts – Trading Range: .65-2.10 – Max Gain: 223%

Biogen, Inc. BIIB

On the other side of the fence, BIIB was gapping up hard in the premarket and we liked the chances of seeing some more upside. We highlighted BIIB Weekly $267.50 through $280 Calls and it worked out in spades.

$267.50 Calls – Trading Range: 6.30-17.50  – Max Gain: 178%
$270 Calls – Trading Range: 4.70-15.30 – Max Gain: 226%
$272.50 Calls – Trading Range: 3.45-12.30 – Max Gain: 257%
$275 Calls – Trading Range: 2.45-10.50  – Max Gain: 329%
$277.50 Calls – Trading Range: 1.74-8.45 – Max Gain: 386%
$280 Calls – Trading Range: .99-7.00 – Max Gain: 607%

Fresh Ideas*

Under Armour, Inc. UA – We’ll go ahead and signal some new options ideas this morning as the opportunity has presented itself in the form of an impressive Under Armour earnings beat. Wildly exceeded expectations are fueling a premarket gap-up, and we’re going to be taking a look at UA Weekly $75-79.50 Calls provided UA holds that $75-mark on any early dips.

Facebook, Inc. FB –  FB is also cruising in early trading today on the strength of a well-received earnings release of its own. We’re going to respond by tagging FB Weekly $105-110 Calls for observation as we head into week’s end.

*Pertaining to both of the preceding ideas, remember to always consider the inherent elevating risk associated with trading weekly options contracts as the end of the week approaches!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Review, Fresh Ideas & More

Speed Commerce, Inc. SPDC

We were just reminding our readers about SPDC yesterday, which we’ve now tracked for three sessions since  our premarket report on Friday. We observed a low of .018 that day, and the stock hasn’t looked back since.

After another excellent PPS-enhancing performance on Monday, we suggested our subscribers continue to watch yesterday for the possibility of a protracted uptrend, and what followed was the biggest single-session move yet, and new highs for SPDC.

From an early low of .038, the stock rushed to .057 in the closing minutes. That represented a 50% intraday pop, and an overall three-day increase above our observed low of .018 amounting to 217%


Options Ideas

Rambus, Inc. RMBS – Recap

RMBS was the subject of an options trading idea we submitted yesterday morning, after noticing the stock gapping up in the premarket on a post-market earnings beat from the prior day. We targeted the RMBS 02/19 $12 Calls, and those contracts traded in a range from .37-.59; good for intraday gains of up 59%

Apple, Inc. AAPL

It’s been awhile since we signaled any AAPL options, but we’re presented with an opportunity this morning as the stock is down considerably in early trading on deflated sales forecasts, amongst other things. We’ll look for chances on the bearish side of things, namely the AAPL Weekly $97-95.50 Puts to try to take advantage of the consequences of shaken investor confidence.

Biogen, Inc. BIIB

An impressive beat on revenues and EPS is leading BIIB to a notable gap-up this morning,  we’ll definitely want to look for the possibility of a nice intraday upswing from the stock. To ensure we catch the heaviest action we’ll begin by monitoring every set of contracts in the range of BIIB Weekly $267.50 through $280 Calls.
