Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Review, Big Movers & More

Friday’s Options Ideas

Our closing thoughts in Friday’s premarket report were in regard to the activity we were seeing in the VXX. It was trending several percentage points above its 50DMA and we went ahead and signals our interest in tracking the VXX $20-22 Calls, with an accompanying idea of SPY $206-203 Puts.

For the second Friday in a row, the options chains of this ETN and ETF provided us with the chance to pull down huge single-session gains:

$20 Calls – Trading Range: 1.09-3.74  – Max Gain: 243%
$20.50 Calls – Trading Range: .75-3.20  – Max Gain: 327%
$21 Calls – Trading Range: .44-2.69 – Max Gain: 511%
$21.50 Calls – Trading Range: .11-.2.29 – Max Gain: 1981%
$22 Calls – Trading Range: .11-1.84 – Max Gain: 1572%

The SPY Puts also worked out, although the potential gains weren’t quite as dramatic. For example the $203.50 Puts ran from .54-1.99; a comparatively modest, yet still excellent intraday move of 268%

We did a quick video highlighting these and a few other great calls made last week:

Another Big Chatroom Play

As our regular readers are aware, we’ve been calling more attention to the daily live traders chats that we conduct on Skype (Send contact request to ‘stocksumo‘ to join in!) so folks have a chance to get in on some of the hot plays that get presented to the room. For the third time in the past few weeks, chatroom member ‘DJ’ produced a gem. The following snapshot from Thursday afternoon’s chat contains his signal to the group:

What happened subsequent to that on Friday morning was nothing short of jaw-dropping. RGDXQ simply exploded as it came out of the gate at a low of .0024 and soared an impressive 900% to the high-of-day at .024 early on in the session. That was followed by a few significant swings later on as well. Excellent work by DJ in giving us the early-warning on that one!

Our current trader’s chats are free and open to anyone for a limited time only, so get on Skype and send a contact request to ‘stocksumo‘ to join in!

HydroPhi Technologies Group, Inc. HPTG

We had HPTG tagged in Friday’s morning report as well, and despite a pullback early on in the session the stock did make a nice rebound. After dipping to .0032 it regained ground back to .0048, which amounts to a 50% swing. The close came just a couple of ticks below at .0046, so we’ll definitely leave this stock on our radars for the time being.

The PR that helped fuel Friday’s activity (link below) highlighted a pair of significant acquisitions made by HPTG, so we’ll also be interested to track that aspect of the story.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options, MHRC Updates & More

Magnum Hunter Resources, Inc. MHRC

We’ll kick things off this morning by updating everyone as to the status of MHRC, which we placed in Monday’s premarket report as a bottom-watch play. We really couldn’t have timed our alert any better, and after registering a low of .021 Monday, the stock has made continuous progression throughout the week.

Yesterday, after seeing a low of .0257, MHRC ran as high as .0337, marking an intraday move of 31% As measured from our observed low on Monday, yesterday’s high represents a three-session swing of 60%

We’ll continue to remain interested in MHRC in sessions to come provided it continues to establish higher lows as it has been doing. As we’ve pointed out on the following chart snapshot, a number of factors lead us to believe that upside potential remains high with this play. The stock was beaten back vigorously earlier this month, and there are even a couple of gaps to fill on the chart.

Options Updates

We’d now like to update our readers on our options ideas from Tuesday, which included targets in the WMT and HD chains- Yesterday we stated our belief that action in WMT and HD stocks could provide options traders with further opportunities for swing trades and as it happened, we were right. 

Walmart-Stores Inc. WMT – For WMT the bullish run continued, and some of the contracts we were observing recorded substantial intraday moves. Possible gains ranged from the $58 Weekly Calls, which traded in a range from 1.81-3.06, allowing for gains of up to 69%, to the $60’s which ran from .26 to 1.16 for a huge 316% rip.

___

The Home Depot, Inc HD executed a textbook dip-and-rip rallying into the close, and all of the contracts we originally signaled made big swings:

$123 Calls – Trading Range: 2.10-3.55  – Max Gain: 69%
$124 Calls – Trading Range: 1.30-2.55  – Max Gain: 96%
$125 Calls – Trading Range: .72-1.73 – Max Gain: 140%
$126 Calls – Trading Range: .33-.99 – Max Gain: 200%

Wednesday’s Other Notable Moves

In addition to the preceding plays, the following pair also made some solid intraday pushes after appearing in our morning report:

Axion Power International, Inc. AXPW turned in a nice intraday performance as it ran from a low of 1.10 to 1.60, for gains of up to 45% on nearly ten times its 30-day average volume.

Advanced Defense Technologies, Inc. ADCF ultimately ended taking a pounding into the close, but before that happened, it made a noteworthy pop straight out of the starting gate, running 39% from .0079 to .011.

IRBL, SNPK, EFFI, VGTL & Today’s Extended Watchlist

Inrob Tech, Ltd. IRBL

IRBL was added to our watchist on Friday morning, as we observed a consolidation after huge run-up, timing the bounce perfectly. Opening at .0039, the stock ran on over four times its 3mo average volume, and closed up 118%, one tick below the high of day (.0085).

The next key resistance to break will be .0094, which was the high on Thursday.

Sunpeaks Ventures, Inc. SNPK

SNPK had another nice day on Friday, with the massive promotion behind it continuing to bring much higher than average volume.  The stock hit a high of .62. From where we picked up on this promo on Thursday afternoon, that’s over 60%

This morning, we are seeing premarket trades above Friday’s resistance point, so it would seem the trend will continue for the time being.

VGTL was a nice addition to our watchlist yesterday, the stock was trading in a tight range between .60-.67 on over 11X it 3mo. average volume, with intraday gains of 8-12%. The stock is receiving a“Buy” Rating at BARCHART, and has made 50% in combined gains over the past two sessions. It will be interesting to see how this stock continues to perform over the next week.

Yesterday’s consolidation was not surprising, after all, the stock has made huge moves in the past month, running from as low as .0003 to yesterday’s high, and registering more than 3000% in gains.

EffTec International, Inc. EFFI

EFFI has established a solid base in the .13 range, and has held that for the past seven trading sessions.

This stock is going to be kept on watch as long as the chart continues to shape up nicely, with a golden cross in the making as the 50dma approaches the 200dma. We’re camped out here, monitoring the activity moving forward.

UNDR, HPCS, EFFI & Today’s Extended Watchlist

UnderSea Recovery Corporation UNDR

UNDR ran into a key level of resistance at .0017. We thought we might see a break past that yesterday, but alas, as we all know, no one can be right every time.

Moving forward, we’d like to see support hold above .001.

HPC POS System, Corp. HPCS

This is a momentum alert that came up on our scans yesterday after seeing a huge volume increase. HPCS was bouncing off of a relative bottom for the better part of February, and yesterday, it bumped its head into resistance at .03.

The .03’s are going to be the key resistance point after which we think the stock could really make some headway.

EffTec International, Inc. EFFI

EFFI has been under consolidation over the past few sessions after making a huge gain this year. The stock moved from .011 in January, to a high of .182 (1720%) After the expected pullback, EFFI seems to have found solid support at .13

The EFFI chart continues to set up for a golden cross, one of our favorite bullish indicators, so we want to just camp out and wait for that to come to pass.
