Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Yesterday’s Top Movers & More

Yesterday’s Top Movers

Agritek Holdings, Inc. AGTK

Yesterday’s session brought a couple of chances for nice intraday gains from stocks placed on our premarket watchlist, starting with AGTK. We’ve had this one on our radar in the past, and turning our attention back to it yesterday ended up being a great idea.

Starting out from its opening price of .003, AGTK made a nice, round, 100% rip up to the high of day at .006 which occurred around lunchtime. The stock ended up receding back to a new daily low into the close, so we’ll definitely continue to monitor it for some potential bounceplay action.
__________

Guided Therapeutics, Inc. GTHP

Also among the most solid plays from yesterday’s report was GTHP, which managed a respectable intraday swing of 32% on roughly three times the monthly average trading volume as it ran from .0128-.0169. That also represented a bullish breach of the 50DMA. Couple that with the expansion of the LuViva® Advanced Cervical Scan, revenues from which the company expects to fall into the $3-5M range for 2016, and we’ll be keeping GTHP on an extended-term watch.
__________

Pocket Games, Inc. PKGM

We’d like to provide an update on a play that we signaled for observation the Friday before last,  as its progress over the last half-dozen sessions has been quite notable. We caught PKGM trading at a low of .0031 subsequent to our alert on 01/29, and the stock has continually pushed to new highs, culminating in a .013 high-of-day yesterday.  That amounts to a 319% upswing in a relatively short period of time, so we’ll definitely keep PKGM in our sights moving forward.


Facebook, Inc. FB – Continued Options Success

Our continued tracking of  FB Feb 19th $109-105 Puts which we initially signaled in Thursday morning’s report continued to pay dividends in each of the ensuing sessions, and yesterday was no exception. Our bearish feelings on FB continued to ring true, as the gap we highlighted on the chart down into the $97-range was filled. As a result, we witnessed new highs on each of our observed contracts.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Review & More

Options Update

Spirit Airlines, Inc. SAVE

On Wednesday, we identified a pair of SAVE options contracts as potential swing-trade candidates, specifically referring to the January 15th $40 and $45 Calls, and over the course of the session and-a-half since then, they’ve made quite a bit of progress. From Wednesday’s lows to Thursday’s highs, we’ve already seen upswings of 48% in the $40’s (2.90-4.30) and 93% in the $45’s (.70-1.35).

With more than two weeks until their expiration and SAVE shares still trading in the appropriate range, we’ll continue to keep a lookout for possible swing-trade chances from this particular options idea.

Celgene Corp. CELG

Despite the decreased activity during the short week prior to the holiday break, we managed to spot some nice intraday swings from CELG options. We were on the trail of CELG Weekly $116-120 Calls starting on Wednesday, and after providing multi-bag gain opportunities on that day, they continued to produce during Thursday’s short session.

The $119’s and $120 were both still close enough to the money to yield significant moves over the half-day with the $119’s surging 77% from 2.12-3.75, and $120’s making an impressive 204% run from .97-2.95.


Chimerix, Inc. CMRX

CMRX set off our cliff-diver alarms this morning after shares plummeted more than 75% in premarket trading based on the clinical failure of one of the company’s late-stage trial drugs.

Whenever we see something like this unfold, our immediate instinct is to wait for the dust to settle, then strike as the rebound occurs. Knee-jerk selloffs of this magnitude don’t come along every day, but when they have in the past, we’ve almost always seen some measure of a recovery.

We’ll place CMRX on watch for such an event, provided it can hold at or above the $7-level moving forward.


Patriot National, Inc. PN

PN is another stock that was recently hammered back, and its own recovery is already in effect. In addition to insider buying in recent months and coming off of recent lows on the chart, the company announced a significant share repurchase to the tune of $20M this morning (View PR) that will avoid dilution from a previously announced private placement. We’ll be monitoring the stock for the possibility of a protracted recovery as we kick another short trading week.
