Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ASTI Recap, Options Reminder & More

Trevena, Inc. TRVN

Of all of the plays that we were monitoring via our extended watchlist in yesterday’s premarket report, the most potent intraday performance came from TRVN. The stock had made a nice move in the previous session, had pulled back, and looked primed for another nice move based on the premarket activity we observed.

As the overall markets saw a trend reversal, TRVN made a solid, steady, run from a daily low of 9.21 up to 11.47; that registered as a 25% increase on more than 12X the 3-month average volume.

The stock is increasing further in the premarket today (traded as high as 11.83 thus far), so we might want to look out for the possibility of a slight dip followed by a continuation of yesterday’s momentum.


Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. ASTI

ASTI is a stock we’re very familiar with, as a quick tag search of our archives reveals, we’ve taken advantage of this stock multiple times over the years. A couple of weeks ago, we tagged the stock as a bottom-watch play after noticing it was being beaten back to new 52-week lows.

We stated that ASTI was a prime candidate for a bounceplay, and an extreme item of interest “because when a rebound does occur, it could be very significant.” and we couldn’t have been more spot-on in that assumption.

It’s ultimate low of .10 came just three sessions hence, and the impressive multi-day recovery pushed ASTI as high as .3597 yesterday. That represents an overall swing of 260%


Options Reminder:

Last Thursday just as the markets were becoming highly distressed, we formulated set of longer-term options plays to watch once a market rebound began to occur.

Yesterday, another reversal came to pass, so we just wanted to issue a brief reminder of the potential targets we listed, and are still tracking heavily: 09/18-10/02 Calls in the FB, GPRO, GMCR, AAPL, NFLX, and TSLA chains.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Bottom-Play Roundup & More

Last Week’s Bottom-Bouncers

We were tracking a couple of stocks and an ETF that we put on bottom-watch heading into the end of last week, and are happy to report that we’ve seen the beginnings of some nice rebounds on those fronts.

Direxion Daily Nat Gas Bull 3X ETF (GASL)
It started with the triple-leveraged natural gas bull fund, GASL, which we caught coming off of its 52-week lows and entered into the conversation on Thursday. At the time we would witness a PPS low of 4.88, and after a nice initial run that day, GASL would go on to register a high of 6.98 on Friday. That marked a timely call on our behalf which opened the door for overnight profits of up to 43%

___

LINN Energy, LLC (LINE) & Linn Co, LLC (LNCO)

We tagged this linked pair on Friday, noting that one is a publicly-traded wholly-owned sub of the other, and that the chart patterns were virtually identical. Traders could have latched on to either, and witnessed the reversal we called for on the charts.

The move for the parent, LINE, was recorded as a run from 2.73-3.83, a 40% intraday swing. The subsidiary, LNCO, ran 34% from 2.46 to 3.29. Both very respectable single-session moves.
____

We’ll continue to monitor all three of these plays for the possibility of continued uptrends as we kick things off this week. We’ll look for each one to register higher lows, building a higher base of support than we witnessed on Friday.


Pazoo, Inc. PZOO – Update

We re-tagged PZOO on Friday, pointing out the recovery that had been transpiring on the chart, and we were granted another nice opportunity by the stock. We watched as it ran from a daily low of .0059 and went as high as .0073

In the video chart we drew up for PZOO in that report we mentioned we wanted to see a break of the 50DMA (.0061) and we’ll look for the stock to maintain support at or above that level on any pullbacks. The next area of key resistance crops up at the 200DMA of .011.

The company had a conference call last week (>>>Read Transcript or >>>Listen to Call) which went over a vast array of important topics. We suggest taking the time to go over that; highlights included financial and share structure data, as well as information regarding all branches of the company’s rapidly expanding marijuana testing business.


The Medicines Co. MDCO

Setting off our abnormal volume scanner this morning was MDCO, which looks ready to fly with un-traded upon news regarding a cholesterol study hitting the wires on Sunday. The stock is up considerably in the premarket, so we’re going to formulate a potential quick-hitting options idea for intraday/intraweek flip opportunities- We’ll be looking for the possibility of dip-and-rips in the range of MDCO Weekly $38-41 Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Review & More

Options Ideas – Updates

On Tuesday, we mentioned the possibility of taking advantage of the recent market downturn by utilizing some extended options ideas as stocks began to recover. We flagged 09/18-10/02 Calls in the FB, GPRO, GMCR, AAPL, NFLX, and TSLA chains. It didn’t very long for these ideas to bear fruit; we identified the following opportunities during yesterday’s session:

FB Sept 18th $85 Calls – Range: 3.54-5.25 – Max Gain: 48%
AAPL Sept 18th $105 Calls – Range: 4.95-7.40 – Max Gain: 49%
NFLX Sept 18th $98 Calls – Range: 10.75-15.23 – Max Gain: 42%
GPRO Sept 18th $45 Calls – Range: 3.04-4.00 – Max Gain: 32%

All of these stocks are gapping up significantly in the premarket today, so we expect to see some further chances for profit in these contracts. We’ll have to remain open to the possibility of needing to roll up our strike prices/expiration dates to stay closer to the money as the situation dictates.


Recap: Abengoa (SA) ABGB & Direxion Daily Nat Gas Bull 3X ETF (GASL)

We were tracking both of these stocks in the premarket yesterday, and each made modest yet notable intraday moves. ABGB traded in a range from 5.91-6.58, while GASL made its way from a low of 4.12 and went on to hit 4.56.

Both of those moves registered as 11% intraday increases, and in each case we’re going to be looking for the stocks to record higher levels of support than yesterday’s swing lows as we head into week’s end.


Great Basin Scientific, Inc. GBSN

We also want to tag GBSN as a bottom-watch play this morning. We love to track stocks that have been beaten back to new 52-week lows and bear an oversold look on the chart, and this is a prime example of just such a play.

In a press announcement this morning, the company has addressed the recent selloff, and we’ll be interested to see how the stock reacts. The CEO stated: “We believe our recent stock performance represents a technical inefficiency related to unit separation, not the underlying fundamentals of the Company’s performance”. >>VIEW PR

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PBMD Recap, ASTI News & More

Prima BioMed, Ltd. PBMD

PBMD stood out among yesterday’s fresh news plays with a solid performance on the day. It was helped along by the announcement that the European Medicines Agency had given positive Scientific Advice with regard to the development path for its metastatic breast cancer treatment.

We observed as the stock traded in a daily range from 1.42 to 1.78, representing a respectable 25% intraday swing, and it did so on the strength of nearly 3.5X its 3-month average volume.

Looking at some of the still-bullish features PBMD chart, we’re going to stay open to the possibility of seeing further upswings in the near future:


American Green, Inc. ERBB

We highlighted ERBB on Friday as a potential bottom-watch candidate, and the stock has responded with a nice move so far this week. It was trading at a low of .0039 to start things off on Monday, and yesterday we watched as it reached a .0049 high; a two-day swing of 26%

The company just completed an important step in their current business plan which was reported in a PR yesterday (link below). It was in reference to the partnership ERBB has formed to construct a legal marijuana grow operation in Colorado, which will purportedly focus solely upon the propagation of “CBD-rich cannabis strains”. It’s a story we’ll continue to follow as more details become available.


Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. ASTI

We’re also still on alert with regard to an inclusion in Monday’s premarket report; ASTI has been making its way toward a bottom for the past few months. Yesterday we observed a low .451 toward the end of the session, and it appears that will be marked down as the the rebound point as the stock is gapping up heavily in early trading today with the help of a very positive PR.

As of this morning’s premarket high of .80 we’ve already seen a 77% swing in less than 24 hours. We’ll keep a close watch on ASTI today as this morning’s news of its 233% quarter-over-quarter revenue increase filters down and reaches more sets of eyes.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TPIV Recap, PZOO News & More

TapImmune, Inc. TPIV

Despite already being on one heck of a run, as we were stating in yesterday’s morning report, TPIV ended up having another landmark session in which it would surge to its highest PPS in almost a year.

The stock posted an early low of 1.20 before breaking out to 1.71, which registered as an intraday spike of 43% and occurred on heavy volume. TPIV also took the title of most actively-traded stock on the OTC for yesterday’s session, with shares changing hands 3,388 times.

We want to congratulate anyone who’s been tracking TPIV along with us recently; the total increase we’ve now observed in just eight sessions is equal to 137% (.72-1.71).

Yesterday’s continued uptrend was aided by the following PR:

Pazoo, Inc. PZOO

Those of our subscribers that have joined our ranks in the past few weeks will need a little bringing up to speed on PZOO. We introduced this play at the beginning of April, and tracked it over an epic run from .0049 to .0204, which amounted to a 316% swing.

It has been nearly four weeks since we touched base with this play, and with a fresh PR released this morning, we think now would be a good time  to take another look. The stock has done well maintaining support throughout the month of June, trading in a channel between .009 to .011, holding a good bit of the advances we witnessed earlier in the Spring.

The storyline we’ve been following on PZOO of its 40% ownership in MA & associates, a Nevada-based marijuana testing agency, just got a whole lot more interesting with PZOO officially announcing that it has acquired the remaining 60% stake:

WHIPPANY, N.J., June 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Pazoo, Inc. (OTC Pinks: PZOO) is pleased to report that on Wednesday, June 3, 2015,  Pazoo acquired the remaining 60% of MA & Associates, LLC in exchange for 900,000 shares of Pazoo’s Series C. Preferred stock. This now makes MA & Associates, LLC a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary of Pazoo. >>FULL PR


The MaryJane Group, Inc. MJMJ

MJMJ was among several stocks we tagged for potential upcoming bottom-plays at the end of last week, and while it did take the call an extra session to materialize, it did end up making that rebound yesterday.

The stock traded in a range from .0027-.0038; which marks an intraday swing of 41% on more than twice the average monthly volume. We’ll continue to monitor activity in the stock as the week progresses.


Under Armour, Inc. UA – Options

Yesterday morning, we updated readers as to the performance of the 07/31 $84 Calls that we initially alerted on Friday. From our observed low of 2.76, these contracts pushed further upward yesterday, extending to a new high of 4.20.

That pushes the overall range we’ve witnessed in just a two-session span to a respectable 52% We’ll continue to stay attuned to the activity as long as UA continues to perform well.
