Blue Horseshoe Stocks: VAPE Recap, Options & More

Yesterday’s Winning Plays

Vape Holdings, Inc. VAPE – This stock has been appearing in our reports sporadically for several months, and yesterday we re-mentioned it just in the nick of time to allow ourselves to catch intraday gains of up to 98% as it surged from .0045 to .0089. It marked a single-session gain of 98% and was by far the most impressive play of the day.

_____

CTI BioPharma Corp. CTIC – We’ve been hot on the trail of CTIC since releasing our morning report last Wednesday, and yesterday the stock continued to push its upper limits as it has done each day since. On the morning of our initial alert we observed a low of .45 in CTIC, and as of yesterday’s high of .71 had seen a solid increase of 60% in a span of just four sessions.

_____

Arcis Resources Corp. ARCS – Despite falling to new daily lows over the course of the afternoon, ARCS did provide an opportunity for quick-witted traders right at the outset of the session. The stock rapidly ran from .0026-.0057, representing a shot at up to 119% in gains before the bottom fell out. The stock closed at its low of .002, so we may want to scan for the possibility of an upcoming bottom-bounce.

Added Note: Seeing healthy activity out of VAPE and ARCS, both cannabis-related stocks, reminds us of another play in the space that has made some big moves for us in the past and has just started to come up off of a bottom. That’s why we’ll also be watching GreenGro Technologfies, Inc. GRNH in sessions to come.


 New Options Ideas

We want to signal a set of options ideas for each of the following retailers in the wake of earnings beats this morning. We’ll be tracking these calls for potential intraday/intraweek trade opportunities:

Macy’s, Inc. M – Macy’s earnings and guidance are engendering investor confidence in the firm’s ability to streamline its business in 2016, and adapt to the changing marketplace. The resultant chart activity has us interested in tracking M Weekly $41.50-45 Calls.

The Home Depot, Inc. HD – In this case, our target range is going to be the HD Weekly $125-129 Calls.   Home Depot issued its report citing record earnings, and restated its plans to move forward with an $11B share repurchase program to be transacted by the end of fiscal 2017.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: APP, CERS Recaps & More

American Apparel Inc. APP

It appears as if we brought APP back into the discussion yesterday at an opportune time, as the stock enjoyed a healthy intraday move on more than twice the 3-month average trading volume.

After briefly seeing a low of .63 the stock gradually built its way up to an afternoon high of .69, an increase of roughly 10%, and in the premarket this morning APP has already traded as high as .78. That pushes the overnight increase on APP to 24%

Yesterday we mentioned that breaking of the 200DMA of .74 was a key event that needed to take place and we’ve seen that happen this morning, so APP is certainly going to remain high on our watchlists as we head into week’s end.


Cerus Corp. CERS

CERS was included in yesterday’s extended watchlist, and made a solid move during the day’s session. From a low of 5.26 the stock made a run at a high of 5.94, a modest yet notable 13% increase.

It came on the heels of the announcement that the company had received the green light from the FDA on its product that limits the risk of infection-transmission in blood transfusions. We always like a good FDA-approval play so we will definitely be monitoring this play in coming sessions.

CONCORD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cerus Corporation (CERS) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the INTERCEPT Blood System for plasma. The INTERCEPT plasma system is approved for ex vivo preparation of plasma in order to reduce the risk of transfusion-transmitted infection (TTI) when treating patients requiring therapeutic plasma transfusion. >> FULL PR


Eco Science Solutions, Inc. ESSI

We’ve still got ESSI on our radars, and wanted to remind our readers of this even as the stock has been trading in a tight channel between .20-.25 since we last took a look at it. The reason we still find ESSI attractive is that it boasts a tight share structure, and while we haven’t seen much in the way of volume, should that change, even the slightest amount of buying pressure could send ESSI flying.

From a business perspective, we’re also interested in the technology the company is working on, its innovative re-imagining on classic spark plug design. So despite not seeing much short-term activity, ESSI still has many of the hallmarks of a high-potential play that we’ll want to watch closely into the New Year.

We’ve drawn up a video on the current standing of the ESSI Chart, so take a look at that by clicking the graphic below:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ESSI Report

Eco Science Solutions, Inc. ESSI

We’re taking a first look at ESSI this morning, and it’s a stock that we’ll be very interested to keep track of in coming weeks. The company has a product under active development that we feel has major potential in the automotive industry.

The EcoFlora Spark Plug could present a disruption in the space, and the reason we like it so much is due simply to how much of an improvement it figures to be over traditional spark-plug design.

From the image above it may look like just a small difference, but in this case looks are definitely deceiving. The EcoFlora aims at achieving marked improvements in both horsepower and fuel efficiency using what is referred to as “Internal Pre-Combustion Chamber High Efficiency Spark Plug” technology.

Perhaps most importantly, it has performed exceedingly well in testing for its emission-reducing capabilities.  There are over 250 Million cars on the road in the United States alone (more than 1 Billion worldwide) and reducing carbon emissions is not only a top priority now, but will become even more so as pollution levels continue to explode.

According to the company’s latest round of efficacy testing, “In multiple cases, the EcoFlora spark plugs improved emissions and resulted in cars passing emissions that were previously failing.”>> View the Full Report

The company is banking on a smooth transition from completion of development to the marketplace for the EcoFlora technology to take direct advantage of, or perhaps even foster a buyout from a larger company, which is certainly in the realm of possibility. That’s why we began by stating that this stock is one that we’re going to want to have our sights fixed upon moving forward; the potential disruption capability of the EcoFlora spark plug versus traditional models in the marketplace could be big.

 There’s also a few key points we’d like to highlight on the chart:

We’ll be sure to keep everyone abreast of any upcoming developments from ESSI on the business side of things. The company did promise a timely update on the final phases of spark plug testing in its last announcement, so we’ll be on the lookout for that first and foremost.
