Blue Horseshoe Stocks: OPTT, MSFT Recaps & More

Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. OPTT

It was June 16th when OPTT started appearing on our scans, and subsequent to that, we’ve witnessed the stock trading as low as 2.33.

The stock has really been ramping up the intensity in recent sessions, causing us to tag it on Monday (low of 5.72), and then again in yesterday’s report. OPTT had a really nice intraday performance in yesterday’s session, wherein traders could have banked up to 97% in gains as it ran from 7.94 to a new high of 15.65.

From our alert on Monday, that high represents an upswing of 174%, and from our overall observed low from last month, a PPS increase of 572%  For us to stay keen on OPTT moving forward, we’ll want to see it hold at Tuesday’s swing high of 9.87 on any forthcoming pullbacks.


Microsoft Corp. MSFT – Options Update

With MSFT’s recent aquisition of LNKD and an exciting earnings beat yesterday, MSFT was causing a buzz on the Street. We honed in on some corresponding options ideas for a potential daytrading opportunity, and it unsurprisingly turned out quite well in our favor.

$54.50 Calls – Range: 1.16-2.31 – Max Gain: 99%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Roundup

Dollar Tree, Inc. DLTR – Options Update

Yesterday, apart from highlighting the many winning options plays that came out of Wednesday morning’s premarket report, we also brought up a new idea for the DLTR options chain. We signaled the DLTR Weekly $85 Calls.

Those $85 Calls were big movers, trading in a range from 1.90-4.66 on the day. That represented an intraday pop of 145% so cheers to any of those who may have taken advantage of that healthy run.


Big Lots, Inc. BIG

We’re looking to BIG this morning on the heels of an earnings beat and cash dividend annoucment. The stock is gapping considerably above the $50-level to new annual highs. We’re going to be looking at the BIG Weekly $47.50-52.50 Calls* for possible quick-hit trades today.

*Caution: We always like to remind our readers that trading options contracts with a weekly expiration on Friday is an inherently risky proposition. Please do not attempt to do so if you are not an advanced-level trader.


Relypsa, Inc. RLYP

We’re coming across RLYP at an interesting time today. The stock is gapping up this morning, oddly enough, on news that hit for a rival.The FDA refused approval to pharma giant AstraZeneca for its potassium-lowering drug, effectively leaving RLYP’s competing drug as the lone option in the marketplace.

We’ve formulated an options idea for this play as well. With no weeklies available, we’re going to be monitoring contracts within the range of the RLYP 06/03 $20-25 Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: KGNX Review, Options & More

KollagenX Corp. KGNX

After initially mentioning KGNX in Tuesday morning’s premarket report and observing a big intraday swing from this subpenny momentum mover (.00189-.0037, +96%), we mentioned yesterday morning that we wanted to continue to monitor its activity.

It ended up being a smart idea, as we bore witness to yet another solid upswing. After touching a low of .0025 right out of the starting gate, it didn’t take very long for KGNX to begin a run that lasted for the better part of the entire day. The stock ran hard into the close, touching a new high of .0044. It marked an intraday rip of 76%, and an increase of 133% over our observed low on Tuesday.

Once again recording higher lows and higher highs along with stronger than average volume, we’ll need to leave a slot on our radars open for KGNX as we head into week’s end.

More Updates:

Speaking of subpenny momentum plays, we want to keeping watching the activity in On4 Communications, Inc. ONCI.which we also put on watch in Tuesday’s premarket report. We saw the stock trade as low as .0021 that day and it hit .004 yesterday, a move of 90%

With the stock building a continuously higher base of support in each of the past four sessions and running to new highs, it is currently in blue-sky breakout territory. We continue to stay on its trail.
