Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Reviewing Recent Winners

STOCK RECAPS

Much of our focus gets devoted to options ideas these days, as they represent the greatest chance for large short term gains for traders. However, we still scan every day for stocks, and we wanted to begin this new trading week by highlighting a few of our recent picks that have met or exceeded our expectations.

Bio-Path Holdings, Inc. BPTH – Beginning with the least recent, roughly five weeks ago on January 23rd, BPTH was a stock we tagged as a bottom-watch play. The stock essentially traded sideways for the next month, only making nominal gains. That is until the latter half of last week, when it began to heat up on Thursday, and subsequently explode on Friday, performing beautifully on the day. The stock logged the number one gain on the entire NASDAQ, as it traded up from a low of 2.65 before reaching a high of 8.84.

That works out to a mind-melting 234% single-session rise on massive volume, which is extremely uncommon for big board plays. Cheers to anyone who caught a ride on this shooting star!

Lexicon Pharma, Inc. LXRX – Appearing in Friday morning’s report was LXRX, which certainly didn’t see the level of activity as the previously mentioned play, but still posted positive figures on the day. From a low of 5.55, the stock rose as high as 7.07, marking a comparatively small but respectable intraday increase of 27%
_____

China Internet Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. CIFS – Also included in Friday’s report was CIFS, which also had a reasonably strong session following our alert. The low came in at 2.30 before the stock surged into the close at its high of day of 3.25. That represents a solid intraday gain of 41% We’ll also want to see if the stock can carry some of that momentum at the close, over to this fresh trading week.

Funko, Inc. FNKO – Options Review

We also signaled our interest in the FNKO 03/15 $22.50 & 25 Calls on Friday, and we got solid performances out of those contracts. The $22.50 Calls ran from .28-.70 for a gain of 150%
while the $25 also recorded a 150% pop from .10-.25.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Closing Out Big Week

Arcadia Biosciences, Inc.  RKDA

We tagged RKDA for the first time since May in our extended watchlist yesterday morning, and we were met with a fantastic intraday rip. The stock traded up from a low of 6.93 and managed an intraday high of 10.40 before tapering back into the close. Daytraders could have made a pass at gains of up to 50%

That represents 8-month highs for the stock, a feat which was made possible by the company’s entry into the cannabis space. RKDA will hire a number of agricultural scientists/geneticists to develop ideal strains of hemp. It’s a story we’ll definitely want to follow.

NFLX stock alone, subsequent to our last alert, has traded for as little as 231.23 up to as high as yesterday’s new top mark of 357.22. That’s an incredible 54% jump in less than five weeks! What that move allowed our selected contracts to do has been nothing short of Earth-shattering.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: LXRX Recap & Much More

Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. LXRX

Our first order of business today is to congratulate any of our readers who were able to turn our premarket alert of LXRX into hefty intraday gains.

We were given ample opportunity to do so, as a hugely significant PR left the stock positively charged for most of the session. A momentous intraday run began from an early low of 10.83 and topped out at an HOD of 13.80. That translates to a 27% jump, which is a very impressive single-session performance for a $10 stock.

If you recall, we hit this one from multiple angles; our options trading idea of tracking Weekly $10 Calls was also good for potential profits. Those contracts traded up from a low of 1.50 all the way to 3.90, which was good for gains of up to 160%

LXRX held the majority of its daily advance, which occurred on well over 30-times the 3-month average volume. That sets the stock up with plenty of momentum, and signals us to keep an eye out in coming sessions for a continuation of such. In the event that occurs, as far as options are concerned, we’d roll our strike price up to the Weekly $12.50 Calls, which already made a heck of a move yesterday from .45-2.00.

___

Hutchinson Technology, Inc. HTCH

We also want to give a quick update on HTCH, which we entered into the conversation via Friday’s premarket report. We witnessed the beginning of its run that day with a low of 1.60, and subsequent 22% pop to 1.95.

Yesterday, the stock set a new high of 2.25, which marked a two-day increase of 41% In order for us to remain interested in this play. we’ll need to see it continue to record higher lows.

Super-Subpenny Bottom-Watchlist

Here are a couple of stocks trading in the triple-zero range that we thought were worthy of compiling into a potential bottom-play watchlist as we head into midweek. We’ll include charts for the pair illustrating the reasoning behind that:

B2Digital, Inc. BTDG

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Friday Recap & New Interests

Recapping Friday’s Interests

Friday’s session bore some nice opportunities among the plays we were discussing in our premarket report, from both options and stocks.

Our top options target turned out to be Expedia, Inc. EXPE, in which we were tracking the Weekly $115-117 Calls. Every one of the contracts in that range produced chances for multi-bag gains:

$115 Calls – Daily Range: 1.12-5.04 – Max Gain: 350%
$116 Calls – Daily Range: 1.32-6.40 – Max Gain: 385%
$117 Calls – Daily Range: .87-4.12 – Max Gain: 374%

___

On the stock side of things, we were observing Hutchinson Technology, Inc. HTCH which had caught our eye on a routine premarket scan for abnormal activity. The stock responded with a solid session to close out the week, trading from a low of 1.60, and reaching as high as 1.95; a respectable 22% intraday move.
___

We also wanted to say a quick word about Wizard World, Inc. WIZD, which we called as a potential bottom-play after noticing the stock tumbling to new 52-wk lows. The stock managed to make a nominal 18% intraday jump off of that bottom, so we’ll watch for the possibility of a protracted recovery. We’ll look for WIZD to continue to register higher lows.

Mobile Broadcasting Holding, Inc. MBHC

MBHC responded well to Friday’s news regarding the findings of beta testing on its upcoming app (View PR), as it continued to build a higher base of support off of the .0042 swing-low that it recorded last Tuesday.

We watched the stock trade in a range from .0052 to .006 (+15%), and that high marked an overall four-session move of 43%  It drew back slightly to close at .0057, the point from which we’ll look to see it continue to log higher lows as we commence a new trading week.

We’ve prepared a video highlighting the key points of the MBHC chart:

Fresh News Plays

Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. LXRX is gapping up heavily this morning after the company published an early-morning PR announcing that its Phase III cancer treatment has met primary endpoints. We can look for short-term opportunities in the stock itself, and in the options chain, where we’ll monitor $10 Calls. Be on the lookout for a possible dip-and-rip scenario!

Mixx 1 Life, Inc. MIXX is also piquing our interest with a premarket PR and its positioning on the chart as a good bottom-watch candidate The stock has fallen dramatically to new 52-week lows, and is looking extremely oversold. The CEO has released a letter to shareholders today addressing the extreme conditions, and we’re going to slate this one for observation as the potential recovery could produce some serious chances for profit.
