Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Success, MNKD & More

Eleven BioTherapeutics, Inc. EBIO

Out of four focal points for yesterday morning’s premarket report, three of them worked out very nicely. From the stock side of things, we had EBIO, which we designated as a potential momentum play after noticing it picking up steam in prior sessions.

Our hunch was good, as the stock ran from a low of 2.31 to 2.955 (+28%) on roughly nine times its monthly average volume. It was a relatively modest gain, yet we did see a temporary breach of the 50DMA as well as a strong close at 2.78. It was a solid enough performance to warrant further observation.

MannKind Corp. MNKD – We drew attention to MNKD on Wednesday morning and just want to provide an update on its excellent progress so far. In the past two sessions since then it has traded up from a low of .44 to .68 (+55%) in two bullish sessions. We’ll be looking for a possible continuation of that trend.


Options Winners

The other two winners from yesterday were both successful options ideas that we formulated on the heels of strong earnings reports, and the gain opportunities there were quite a bit larger.

We’ve come to routinely expect huge multi-bag intraday runs when we hit on a good post-earnings idea, and that’s just what we got from every single contract we signaled.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: APRE News, Options Ideas & More

Aperture Health, Inc. APRE

We’re circling back to APRE once again this morning, after the stock has logged two nice intraday performances subsequent to our in-depth report on Monday. That morning we saw a nice 59% pop, and yesterday the stock not only managed to maintain support at the previous day’s swing low as we hoped it would, but also made a 23% intraday upswing(.031-.038), not to mention closing at its high of day. That works out to cumulative gains over that two-session span totaling 82%

This morning’s area of focus is going to be the fresh PR that just hit the APRE newswire, regarding wholly-owned sub CSS Alliance, and the striking of a new distribution deal. (Link Below)

We’ll be on the lookout for added attention brought from the PR to potentially give the stock another boost. As we’ve stated previously, due to the low-float, low-volume nature of APRE, the stock is subject to significant swings on relatively little buying pressure.

NEW YORK, April 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ – Aperture Health, Inc. (OTC Markets.com: APRE), is pleased to announce that the company’s wholly owned subsidiary CSS Alliance has formed a worldwide exclusive distribution agreement with House Tech. Co. Ltd to become a hub in the United States to distribute, market and sell new technologies ranging from green solar powered A/C units, and powerless generators, as well as solar energy.  >>View Full PR

ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures SVXY

We’ve yet to signal any options ideas this week, which is uncharacteristic for us, so we’re also going to be zeroing in on a possible play in that arena. The markets have been strong of late, with the VIX continuously trending downward, so we’re looking at an inverse analog of that note in SVXY.

Our specific area of interest is going to be the SVXY Weekly $53.50-55 Calls.


Bank of America Corp. BAC

Speaking of possible options plays, we’re also taking note of BAC 07/15 $15 Calls which have been shown to have abnormally high open interest over the past couple sessions. Whenever we see serious cash of this magnitude flow into a set of contracts, it raises our attention. As the saying goes, you’ve got to follow the money! Therefore, we’ll be keeping this set of contracts on a long-term watchlist.
