Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Review, MKHD Recap

Reviewing Friday’s Options Calls

First thing today, we’d like to rehash a portion of Friday’s report that we didn’t get a chance to discuss yesterday. Our regular followers will recall the added note we included regarding a few options trading ideas we were considering. As a result of favorable jobs numbers released that morning, we pointed out our interest in trading Calls in SPY, AA, ISRG, & GPRO.

Regardless of which selection one used to take advantage of the trend, it was met with potentially lucrative results. The dip-and-rip pattern we were on the lookout for showed itself across the board. For example, one of the biggest standouts out of the bunch were the SPY $195 weekly calls had traded as low as .52, and made it to roughly 2.00.

Moving forward, we’ve got another set of options to monitor. One of our favorite options trading cash-cows this year has been PBR, and yesterday the stock had a big bounce following last week’s selloff. As a result we’re going to radar November $16 Calls, and see if we can once again use PBR to our advantage as we have countless times already this year.

Mount Knowledge Holdings, Inc. MKHD

After a significant performance following our first mention of MKHD (Range: .042-.085 +102%) the stock has done a good job of maintaining higher levels of support, and we just wanted to re-state why we are so keen to follow this light volume trader.

The thing that mainly drew us to MKHD last week was the PR the company released regarding its acquisition of cyber-security firm Civergy, Inc; an outfit which generated revenues in excess of $35M last year. Further details of the deal were released in an 8-K on Wednesday, and we’re anxious to see what kind of lasting effect the merger will have on MKHD.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: RSH Update & More

Radio Shack Corp. RSH

RSH has made regular appearances in our reports over the past couple of months, starting in the beginning of August, when we caught the stock off of its 52-week low of .55.

Following a major run-up to the 1.60-range on August 29th, the stock has been under a general consolidation amid bankruptcy rumors. This week, the company was hinting at possible refinancing deal that would allow them to avoid that situation for the time being, and this morning, that deal was confirmed.

As a result, the stock is up significantly today, having traded as high 1.65 in the premarket. We’re going to want to see support hold at previous resistance points at 1.15 and 1.30. Already, at today’s early highs, we’re seeing more than a 100% increase off of the lows we observed following our most recent RSH alert (.80)

Rockwell Medical, Inc. RMTI

RMTI is another morning gapper that we’re going to place on watch today. With the stock coming off of a recent bottom, it’s going to be interesting to see how today’s development affects its price action.

The company put out a hefty PR this morning regarding a commercialization/distribution deal with Baxter Healthcare (BAX):

WIXOM, Mich., Oct. 3, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rockwell Medical, Inc. (RMTI), a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company targeting end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) with innovative products and services for the treatment of iron replacement, secondary hyperparathyroidism and hemodialysis, announced today that it has signed an exclusive agreement with Baxter Healthcare Corporation, a subsidiary of Baxter International Inc. (BAX), to commercialize Rockwell’s hemodialysis concentrate product line in the U.S. and in select overseas markets.>> VIEW PR

BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. BCRX

BCRX appeared on Wednesday in our extended watchlist, and what has followed has been two fruitful sessions in a row. From a low of 9.89 on Wednesday, we witnessed as the stock bulled its way into yesterday’s close, reaching a daily high of 11.49, a solid 16% overnight increase.

Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. INO

Speaking of pharma plays, INO, a stock that has appeared several times in our reports recently, is also making moves concurrently with the present concern over the Ebola virus outbreak. The company actually has a Ebola vaccine with which they’ve reported success in treating animals with the deadly virus. Anything to do with Ebola is getting a lot of attention at present, and INO is no exception.

Side Note:

Jobs numbers were out this morning, to a positive reception. We will subsequently be looking for dip-and-rip opportunities with regard to options trading. Friday is characteristically a day when premiums start to come down as a result of time decay, with expirations looming. We’re looking at potential opportunities trading Calls in plays like SPY, AA, ISRG, & GPRO.
