Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Solid Runners

SOLID RUNNERS

We tagged both INSY and HSGX in yesterday morning’s premarket report, and both stocks produced admirable runs on the day. 

INSYS Therapeutics, Inc. INSY just registered its lowest price ever earlier this week, and we thought it would be worth it to track as a potential bottom-bounce play. The return was instantaneous. INSY opened at a low of .32 before running as high as .74, which marks an intraday pop of 131%

There is still a huge gap to the topside on the chart, so we’ll definitely continue to monitor the activity on INSY in the days and weeks ahead.

Histogenics Corp. HSGX was also a solid mover for us on the day yesterday. This stock has traded mostly flat for the whole of 2019 so far, but it looks like we tagged it as a bottom play at an opportune moment.

From a low of .24 it reached .32 for a respectable 33% gain, but this could just be the beginning. We’ll want to continue tracking this play as well.

OPTIONS UPDATES

Shoe Carnival, Inc. SCVL- Fresh for yesterday morning’s premarket report was an idea for the Shoe Carnival options chain, in response to the company’s post-market earnings beat from Tuesday afternoon. We cited the SCVL 04/18 $35-40 Calls as being most attractive to us, and we met with some solid success on day one.

With the help of a move out of the stock from 35.00-37.72, we saw significant movement from each of our designated strike prices. The $35 Calls saw a low of 1.56 and reached a high of 3.50, which represents a max gain possibility of 124%  while the $40s impressively ran 233% from .30-1.00.

A strong close for SCVL indicates a very plausible chance at seeing even more gains in the near-term, so we’ll continue to track the activity here.
_____

Centene Corp. CNC – Along with the SCVL idea, we also floated a longer-term one for CNC that produced instantaneous results. We had targeted the CNC 09/20 $50-55 Calls and despite such a lengthy period remaining until expiration, we saw some excellent volatility there in just a single session.

The $50 Calls traded up from 1.80 to 3.50, a gain of 94% while the $55 Calls ripped a big gain  from .31-1.05, which works out to an intraday pop of 239%



Lululemon Athletica LULU

We also want to issue a fresh idea for LULU this morning after the company’s own post-market quarterly financials drop, which included a big earnings beat and some enticing guidance for the remainder of the year. The stock is surging to all-time highs in the premarket, and we don’t want to get caught sitting on our hands when the lid blows.

We’re going to radar the LULU Weekly $162.50-170 Calls, which could end up seeing some serious gain activity over the next session or two.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: APHA, MDCA & More

Aphria, Inc. APHA

Yesterday morning in our premarket report, we said that the unusually high short interest in APHA was one of the factors playing into our decision to designate it as a bottom-watch play. The rebound we were looking for came instantaneously for us with APHA heating up, and the short squeeze was on.

From a low of 3.75, the stock cruised on up to a high of 5.59 for a daily burst amounting to 49% on considerable volume. We’ll be looking for APHA to continue to make up some of the ground it has lost over the past month.



MDC Partners, Inc. MDCA

Another stock we included as a bottom play yesterday, MDCA also experienced a solid performance on the day. It traded from a low of 2.57 on up to 3.29, for a moderate but respectable 28% gain.

It also factored in as the NASDAQ’s fourth largest gainer of the session. The run came to an end right around an area of previous resistance, so we’ll look for it to break that top in the sessions ahead.



Fresh Options Ideas

Cronos Group Inc. CRON Weekly $13-15 Calls* – As we were just mentioning on Tuesday, we first tagged CRON back on Halloween, at which time the stock was trading at a low of 7.10.

SDPR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) Weekly $268-270 Calls*

Galectin Therapeutics, Inc. GALT

About a week ago, we signaled GALT for observation, a stock we’ve had quite a bit of experience tracking in the past. It had been in a bearish downslide for the better part of two months, and had just begun to rebound.

We wanted to come back around for an update on the move GALT has made since that time. After seeing a low of 4.06, the stock has traversed its way back to a high of 6.53. That marks a respectable upswing of 61% and puts us on alert for the possibility of more moves.
