Blue Horseshoe Stocks: NADL Update, Options & More

North Atlantic Drilling Ltd. NADL

NADL topped our list of potential bottom-plays in yesterday morning’s premarket report, and it ended up being the primary runner of the day.

We picked up on the stock on a routine scan, after noticing a sizable gap-up in the morning, coupled with the fact that the stock had been repeatedly beaten down over an extended period. All the signs seemed to be pointing toward a significant day for NADL, and that’s exactly what transpired.

The stock traded in a daily range from 1.73 on up to 2.87, for a highly respectable single-session swing of 66% that came in on mind-bending volume, on the order of 150X the 30-day average. That type of momentum always has a shot at carrying over, and sure enough, NADL is gapping in the premarket once again today.

The early high is in the 3.50’s, extending to total rise we’ve witnessed in less than 24 hours to roughly 100% and it puts us on alert once again today. We’ll be looking for higher highs and higher lows as usual as we watch this one play out.


Excellent Chatroom Calls

Every once in awhile we like to remind our readers on our website as well as our daily newsletter recipients that we conduct live trader’s chats via Skype on a daily basis, and any of our readers is more than welcome to participate. All you need to do to get in on the action is send a Skype contact request to username ‘stocksumo’. You can sit in and get ideas or offer up some of your own!

Yesterday, one of our chatters gave the room a heads up on Bravatek Solutions, Inc. BVTK shortly before 11AM, and the stock ultimately ran from .0002 to .0011, for an intraday pop of 540% on nearly two billion shares traded.

That brings us to another fantastic call, this time by our very own Stock Sumo, who brought American Leisure Holdings, Inc. AMLH to the attention of the room on March 27th, after which time there was plenty of opportunity to get in at .0003. The stock subsequently ran to a high of .007 two weeks (11 trading days) later, marking an enormous 2233% increase!

If these aren’t reasons to get involved with our daily trader’s chats, then we don’t know what is! There have been a multitude of super-subpenny runners over recent weeks, and these two are prime examples of why we continue to press the issue.


New Options Ideas

We don’t want to spend all of our focus on the stock side of things though, especially with our continued success with options trading, so we want to formulate a few ideas based on some things we’re seeing in the premarket.

Lululemon Athletica, Inc. LULU – We want to signal both some weekly and extended-range calls this morning on LULU, which has been making attempts at coming off of recent relative lows, with a massive gap on the chart to the upside. We could see this returning to fill at least a portion of that gap. We’ll have our eyes on the LULU Weekly $52-53.50 Calls as well as the 05/06 $55-57 Calls.

Delta Air Lines, Inc.DAL – We’re looking at DAL for a possible short-term play after its earnings beat this morning. Profits fell by a less-than-expected margin, while positive Q2 guidance was issued. Coupled with a major PR disaster for one of its main competitors this week, and we’re definitely interested in seeing if DAL can make an appreciable move. If it does, we’ll be looking at the DAL Weekly $45.50-47.50 Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PPCH Breakout & More

Propanc Health Group, Inc. PPCH

It didn’t require any patience on our part before we saw our bottom-watchlist from yesterday morning’s premarket report bear fruit. What we have in PPCH is an example of absolutely perfect timing.

After being mostly in a downtrend for a period that stretches all the way back to springtime, we ended up calling the bottom here with laser-like precision. The stock bulled its way up all day long, trading in a range from .008, through the penny barrier, and up to .017. That works out to an intraday pop of 112% and it came on nearly six times the monthly average volume.

The stock also managed to close just a tick below its high of day at .016, so we’re definitely going to be on the lookout for continued momentum. Yesterday wasn’t the first time we caught this play for triple-digit gains, and in all honesty, it probably won’t be the last.


Twitter, Inc. TWTR – Options Recap

In last Thursday’s morning report,  we presented an options idea for TWTR based on the setup of the chart; at the time it was trading in the mid-$18 range.

We put forth the TWTR 01/20 $19 and $20 Calls, to give ourselves the time needed to realize the upward move we suspected the stock would make, and it turned out to be another good idea. We saw a run to the mid-$19 level, and it facilitated the following performances in our target options:

01/20 $19 Calls – Range: .80-1.64 – Max Gain: 105%
01/20 $20 Calls – Range: .51-1.19 – Max Gain: 133%

Again, with that extended expiration date, we’ve still got all the time in the world to witness even further gains out of these contracts. That should start with with this morning’s opening bell, as TWTR is gapping up in the premarket once again.

Fresh Idea:

Lululemon Athletica, Inc. LULU – On the strength of a solid Q3 earnings release and the authorization of a $100M buyback program, LULU is looking strong, and we want to get in on the action by formulating a new options idea to correspond with the activity.

Yesterday the stock broke out of the channel, from roughly $54-58, that it had been stuck in for several weeks, so we’re going to be focusing our attention on the LULU Weekly $66.50-70 Calls.


MJP International Ltd. MJPI

We also want to recap the performance of another play from yesterday’s extended watchlist. MJPI appeared for the first time in our reports, and responded with a solid session.

From a low of .85 the stock traded as high as 1.18, marking a 39% pop on the day and like the aforementioned play, it too closed just a single increment below the high of day at 1.17, and will thus remain on our list going forward.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AA Options Update & More

Alcoa, Inc. AA – Options Idea

We took the opportunity to target some AA puts yesterday morning after noticing a technically weak chart, combined with a let-down on the company’s earnings report. Post-earnings options ideas are quite simply one of our favorite ways to see rapid moves to the upside, and Alcoa was no exception to that rule.

Our specific targets were the AA Weekly $32-30 Puts, and every set of contracts within that range afforded us the chance at hefty single-session profits.

$32 Puts – Range: 2.64-3.77 – Max Gain: 43%
$31.50 Puts – Range: 1.93-3.59 – Max Gain: 86%
$31 Puts – Range: 1.57-3.98 – Max Gain: 153%
$30.50 Puts – Range: 1.16-2.58 – Max Gain: 122%
$30 Puts – Range: .65-2.11 – Max Gain: 225%

With the stock gapping down slightly in the premarket once again, we’ll be on the lookout for those ranges to be extended. Should the stock’s heavy decline continue, we’ll continue to track those, as well as explore the possibility of rolling down our strike prices to stay closer to the money.


BioStar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. BSPM

We want to circle back around to provide an update on the recent activity of BSPM, which we placed on watch back on the 15th of last month. We would subsequently observe a low of 2.54 the following morning, and after a steady stair-stepping performance in ensuing sessions, the stock went meteoric during trading yesterday.

It made an excellent 96% intraday push from 3.60 up to its new high of 7.06, which marked an overall increase of 178% above the low we witnessed just under a month ago. The move was catalyzed by the launch of the company’s rhinitis and sinusitis treatment in China; an absolutely huge market.


Extended-Term Options Ideas

We want to signal some longer-term options ideas for tracking in the weeks ahead on both Nike and Lululemon. NKE just registered new 52-week lows yesterday, while LULU has come down its lowest PPS since February. Therefore, we’d like to monitor the activity in the following options contracts.

Nike, Inc. NKE – 12/16 $50-57.50 Calls

Lululemon Athletica, Inc. LULU – 12/08 $55-62.50 Calls

We signaled a range of contracts that we felt had a reasonable chance of success given its conditions leading up to the opening bell, and each of the seven contracts contained in our observed range of LULU Weekly $67-70 Calls.
yielded prime chances for quick-strike profits.

Yesterday’s Other Winners

Also included in yesterday’s premarket report were a couple of plays on the stock side of things that turned out to be significant intraday runners themselves.

General Cannabis Corp. CANN – The cannabis space has been a bit touch-and-go in recent months, but we have not let that stop us from routinely scanning for opportunities in the sector, and that’s just what we found yesterday in CANN.

We watched as the stock traded up from a daily low of .73 only to hit a subsequent high of 1.22. That went down in the books as an intraday pop of 67% It was followed by a dip-and-rip that carried it on a second run from .7375-1.08 (+46%).
______

Mountain High Acquisitions Corp. MYHI –  This is another cannabis related play that also enjoyed an appreciable move-up yesterday following our morning tag as a bottom-bouncer. MYHI traded in a range from .0235-.034, for a respectable 45% run on the day.

We’ll continue to track this along with the above mentioned play for further opportunities as we head into week’s end. Both have exhibited the type of volatility that can make for more quick in-and-out gains.


Adaptive Medias , Inc. ADTM

Lastly, we want to draw attention back to ADTM, which we we reminded our readers at the beginning of the week, was just coming off of its recently-registered annual low. It has since provided us with not one but two significant chances. On

Tuesday the stock ran from a low of .0027 right out of the starting gate to a high of .0044 shortly after 11am, for gains of up to 63%  Yesterday the action provided us with a follow-up chance, as ADTM traded in a range from .003-.004- a 33% pop. That came along with a strong close at .0038 as well as twice the average 30-day volume, so we’ll definitely be watching for ADTM to record higher highs and higher lows in sessions to come.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Update & More

Options Update

Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. HTZ –  Yesterday, we signaled our interest in HTZ Weekly $11 & $11.50 Calls and began to see instant returns. The $11 Calls traded in a intraday range from .27-.46, allowing for single-session gains of up to 70%

There wasn’t much volume to speak of for the $11.50’s just yet, but we expect that to change this morning as HTZ is once again making a strong move, gapping up in premarket trading this morning. Not only should we see activity pick up with those contracts, but the gains we’ve observed in the $11’s thus far are almost certain to be extended should this uptrend continue to carry into today’s session.

_____

Lulu Lemon Athletica, Inc. LULU – Our eye is drawn to LULU this morning in the wake of its earnings release. Despite mixed results, the stock is gapping up here in the premarket. In order to take advantage of a potential rip out of the gate, we’re going to set our sights upon LULU Weekly $67-70 Calls.


Gevo, Inc. GEVO

GEVO is a familiar play that we’ve mentioned in the past, although we can’t provide specific reference at the moment with archives being hosted on our server currently under malicious attack.  We want to call attention to it once again this morning.

The stock began ramping up on Monday, at which time is was trading in the mid-.30’s, only to go on a massive intraweek run that took it to a new high of .685 yesterday, and an impressive 1.95 high in this morning’s premarket. It has tapered back a bit, so we’ll be anxious to track for the possibility of a bounce followed by another spike once regular trading commences.

We’ll need to see the stock maintain support above a dollar on any pullbacks in order for it to keep our interest.
