Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Updates, BLTA Recap & More

Shire plc SHPG – Options Update

Yesterday morning, we focused in upon a range of options contracts in the SHPG chain, and the headliner from that group turned out to be the SHPG Weekly $180 Calls. The stock itself made a run from around midday into the close and exceeded the $180-mark, facilitating a double-bag intraday move out of those contracts.

The $180’s soared from a low of 1.76, running as high as 4.26 for a highly respectable single-session pop of 142%

SHPG is gapping up in the premarket this morning, so we’re going to let it remain a point of focus for us today. We’ll be on the lookout for the possibility of another dip-and-rip formation, and as the situation may dictate, roll up our strike price to the $185-level.

Baltia Airlines, Inc. BLTA

BLTA was an item from yesterday morning’s premarket watchlist, and despite getting off to a slow start, the stock actually made a solid intraday move that offered up the chance at appreciable gains.

We observed the stock’s daily low come in at .0017 before seeing a bounce take it to .0027, which amounted to a solid 59% swing. As you can see from the following chart snapshot, there are a number of indicators which suggest some upside potential still remains. We’ll want BLTA to maintain support in the highlighted channel in order to hold our attention.

Fresh Options Idea – Wells Fargo & Company

WFC has put together a couple of solid sessions this week to rebound off of a recent relative bottom, and appears to be setting up for another one today as it gaps up in the premarket.

Not only has it just received an analyst upgrade, but the company will report Q4 earnings on Friday morning prior to the opening bell. We’ll look to take advantage of the wave of anticipation and possibly see some nice activity in the WFC 02/12 $52-54 Calls.

New Options Ideas

The market, which has been struggling mightily here in the opening weeks of 2016 for numerous reasons, appears to be in line for some measure of a rebound today, based on early trading activity. Q4 earnings season has kicked off, which should result in an increase of options trading opportunities in the days and weeks ahead. In the event this trend holds and progresses, we’re going to want to have a few options contracts ready and waiting in the hopper to watch for swing-trade possibilities.

Shire plc SHPG

SHPG shares are gapping up to the tune of more than 5% in the premarket this morning in the wake of the revelation that Shire would be acquiring US-based Baxalta for a whopping $32B. The deal figures to create the largest rare-disease drugmaker conglomerate in the world.

We like to take advantage of blockbuster reveals such as this, and the trading hysteria they tend to create. For this particular situation, we are going to set our sights on SHPG Weekly $175-180 Calls.

Acadia Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ACAD

ACAD has been tumbling down in terms of PPS in recent sessions. The reported possibility of dilution as a result of fundraising via public offering has had investors coming down on the bearish side of the fence. We want to be on the lookout for the possibility of a rebound. If such a move occurs we’re going to have the ACAD 02/19 $29 Calls and 03/18 $30 Calls on our radars moving forward.

Alcoa, Inc. AA – Possible Recovery Play

AA is striking us as a stock whose time for a rebound may be fast approaching. We want to signal this as a potential bottom-play. The strength index is heading into heavily oversold territory, and a triple-bottom setup suggests AA could be nearing basement-level prices.

We’re going to add this to our current list of bottom-watch plays, which also includes KOOL, MGI, GNBT, and MAXD.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Multiple Bottom-Watch Plays & More

Extended-Term Bottom Watchlist

The new year has been off to an uncharacteristically sluggish start for stocks due to worries over China’s struggling economy and the global ripple effect it figures to have, as well as a sharp drop in oil prices. An environment such as this doesn’t discourage us as much as change the types of opportunities we’re after. Troublesome times lead to cheap shares and along those lines, we’ve had a handful of stocks jump out at us as potential bottom-plays.

We’re going to have each of the following on our radars in the days and weeks ahead:

Cesca Therapeutics, Inc. KOOL

Max Sound Corp. MAXD

Generex Boitech, Inc. GNBT

MoneyGram International, Inc. MGI

As we stated above, the general sentiment of the market is bearish at the moment, so we will need to allow each of these room to set new lows before they begin to rebound, but in each case, potential gains on eventual recoveries will be significant, so we’ll want to keep a close eye to make sure we’re hanging around when the fun begins.

Trans-Pacific Aerospace Co., Inc. TPAC

We’ve been following TPAC regularly since the second week in December, sending out reminders of our interest in our reports last Thursday and Monday mornings as well. The stock has essentially been in a consistent uptrend the entire time.

This week alone, TPAC has surged 123% from a low of .0031 to yesterday’s high of .0069. The overall swing we’ve witnessed since our initial alert less than a month ago, is a far more impressive jump of 1050% (.0006-.0069). For our feelings on TPAC to remain bullish from this point forward, we’ll need to see the stock maintain support at or above .005 on any pullbacks.

Constellation Brands, Inc. STZ – Options Idea

STZ appears to be bucking the trend in the midst of a languorous market. While many, if not most stocks are gapping down, we want to pay close attention to STZ as it is currently showing strength.

We’ll put a range of options calls on watch for possible swing-trade chances today and in sessions to come, namely STZ 01/15 $135-150 Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MAXD Update, Options Ideas & More

Max Sound Corp. MAXD

The first thing we want to do this morning is update our readers the performance of MAXD this week. Since we tagged MAXD for observation on Tuesday morning, the stock has gone for quite a ride. It has managed to record higher highs and higher lows every single day, and the overall span we’ve witnessed in just three sessions has been notable to say the least.

Yesterday’s high was .0478, which represented a 74% swing over our observed low of .0275 from Tuesday. Volume in that span has been significantly heavier than average, and we’ll want to continue to monitor MAXD for signs of a protracted uptrend. In order to keep our interest, the stock will need to hold support at or above a previous level of significant resistance at .032 on any pullbacks.

Nutrafuels, Inc. NTFU

We want to follow up on yesterday’s NTFU Special Report with a video presentation of the NTFU Chart, in which we’ll highlight some of the key aspects.

If you didn’t catch yesterday’s report on NTFU, we invite you to check that out now. The company has a full line of products that are currently available, not to mention an impressive game plan for moving its business forward, that we feel warrants special consideration.

Yesterday’s news with Amazon was a big development too, so if you missed that as well, use the following link to get up to speed:

NutraFuels, Inc. (NTFU) Going Live on Amazon With Three Leading Oral-Spray Dietary Supplements; Weight-Loss, Sleep Support and Spa-Hair, Skin & Nails. (Thu, Oct 22)

We’d also suggest taking a look at the detailed investor presentation outlining the NutraSpray brand:

Fresh Options Ideas:

We’re looking for dip-and-rips out of both of the following stocks after a roughly a 10% gap-up on earnings in the premarket today in each case. For today’s quick-strike options trading radar, we’ll be tracking:

Amazon, Inc. AMZN Weekly $610-625 Calls

Microsoft Corp. MSFT Weekly $51-53.50 Calls

*Don’t forget that trading weekly options on a Friday is an inherently risky proposition, as they are on the verge of expiration. It can, however, be a chance for experienced traders to profit greatly as premiums go down and volatility rises.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PLKD Update, WTW & More

Weight Watchers International, Inc. WTW

The hype-fueled wave of buying pressure connected to Oprah Winfrey’s announced investment in WTW continued to push the stock higher yesterday. We began on Monday by commenting that this would be one of the major stories of the week, and it has certainly turned out that way.

Though we’ve been focused on several different plays in the WTW options chain, the move we’ve observed in just a couple of sessions from the stock itself has been rather impressive as well. From Monday’s low of 10.76, we’ve witnessed a two-session increase amounting to 78% as of yesterday’s high of 19.15. After pulling back slightly the stock once again pushed past the $19-mark in premarket trading today.

As to the sustainability of this big run, we have to keep in mind that nothing has changed materially for Weight Watchers, which remains deeply in debt. As we said, the upward pressure is being caused simply due to the perceived value of Oprah’s name and inclusion on the board. We’ll continue to take advantage of the momentum while it’s still possible, but take it under advisement, that at some point this hysterical buying will give way to a substantial selloff as traders actualize their recent substantial gains. On the other side of that eventuality, we’ll also be ready and waiting to formulate some related bounce-play ideas.

MaxSound Corp. MAXD

We included MAXD on yesterday’s extended watchlist, and the stock did come through with a fair opportunity to bank a significant profit with the intraday increase it managed. We observed a daily low of .0275, which gave way to a subsequent high of .0372. That registered as a solid 35% upswing, and occurred on a fair amount of volume to the tune of more than thrice the 3-month average.

The look of the chart still appears bullish, with the RSI about to breach into the powerzone and the MACD showing upward divergence. The next areas of resistance beyond the 200DMA of .041 are sitting at .045 and .055. Yesterday marked the third consecutive session that MAXD posted higher highs and higher lows, qualifying it for momentum play status. Provided it continues to follow that pattern, we’ll remain interested in this play.

Peasant Kids, Inc. PLKD

We also want to pat ourselves on the back for our notion on PLKD a week ago today. We noted that we’d be interested in the stock if it could maintain support above its 200DMA of .0599 on a consolidation from the previous day’s run, and not only did it hold at .06 that day, but it has been on a continuous run since then. It culminated in a high of .14 yesterday, marking a five session swing of 133%

We’ll continue to stay hot on its trail following this morning’s announcement of a substantial share reduction:

MIAMI, Florida, October 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Pleasant Kids, Inc. (PLKD) today announced that the Board of Directors has authorized a reduction in the amount of shares authorized by the company from 9,500,000,000 to 360,000,000 by filing a Certificate of Amendment with the State of Florida. >> VIEW PR
