Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TSLA Options Recap & More

Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA – Options

Despite another choppy day for the markets as a whole, we were able to find a diamond in the rough with our TSLA Options Idea in Thursday’s premarket report.

As the stock was gapping up, we identified the possibility of some dip-and-rip scenarios occurring in weekly TSLA $275-280 Calls and that’s precisely what we got. There was some extremely impressive action with the $275’s and $277.50’s in particular, that could’ve provided traders with exponential gains.

The $275 Calls jumped out of the starting gate and went on an initial run from 5.00 to 7.60 (+52%) in the first couple minutes of the session. The dip-and-rip we were after provided an even bigger opportunity as the contracts reached a midday low of .78 before rebounding, and absolutely exploded back to a 5.10 close. That marked a second intraday rip of 554%

The $277.50’s traded in a similar pattern; the initial move was from 3.20 to 5.40 (+69%), and their dip took them to a low of .21 before re-launching as high as 3.00 into the close. That was a mind-boggling 1329% rip.

NuGene International, Inc. NUGN

NUGN has been an ongoing point of interest for us over the past few weeks; we alerted the stock in the third week of June, and at that time, observed a 2.67 swing-low. Since then, the chart has been on a steady incline, surging as much as 47% as it hit a high of 3.88 on both Wednesday and Thursday.

We’ll be looking for the possibility of the stock cracking through that resistance to continue its uptrend into this week.

There’s a fresh PR coming off of the wire this morning as well:

IRVINE, Calif., July 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — NuGene International, Inc. (“NuGene”) (NUGN), a developer, manufacturer and marketer of advanced skin and hair care lines utilizing adipose derived human stem cells and stem cell media, conducted one-on-one meetings with top beauty editors in New York City including Allure, Vogue, Glamour, Marie Claire, Self, Shape, More, Town and Country, People, People Style Watch, Cosmopolitan, Better Homes and Gardens and W. >> View PR

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options, Bottom-Plays & More

GoPro, Inc. GPRO – Options

GPRO’s Q1 earnings beat on revenue and profits causing quite a surge in PPS. Yesterday the stock traded up from the $45-range to the $47-range, and this morning we’re observing a sizable gap-up, as GPRO has already changed hands for as much as 53.54 in the premarket.

In the midst of all this, we’ll be on the lookout for chances with GPRO Weekly Calls, most likely in the range from $49-51.50, with our strike price being dependent upon where the stock ultimately finds support off of this morning’s early highs.

It would fulfill a classic dip-and-rip scenario which by now, as our regular readers are well aware, is one of our favorite chart setups.

Windstream Holdings, Inc. WIN

We also want to point out the nice intraday move made by WIN following its inclusion in yesterday’s extended watchlist. The stock briefly touched a morning low of 10.71, before running 22% to a high of 13.05 on just under 4X its 3-month average volume.

The move came on the heels of upgrades for the stock from a number of Wall St. analysts, and over at one of our favorite data reference sites, BARCHART.COM, GPRO is currently receiving an 80% Short-Term “Buy” Rating.

LifeApps Digital Media, Inc. LFAP

LFAP is a potential subpenny bottom-play that is catching our attention this morning, and we wanted to pass it along to our readers. We’re always on the lookout for stocks trading at or near their 52-week lows, and not only does this one fit that bill, but the company also released some interesting news this morning.

At this price-point and in this situation, there’s always a chance for a nice rebound to provide quality opportunities for quick-strike trades.

SAN DIEGO, CA–(Marketwired – Apr 29, 2015) – LifeApps Digital Media Inc. (OTC PINK: LFAP) (“LifeApps”), an emerging growth company, and designer of m-health, fitness and sports applications (“apps”) has updated MDWorkout® its popular health app for Apple iPhone and iPad with integration with Apple HealthKit. >> FULL PR

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PMCB Update & More

PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc. PMCB

When we released a special report on PMCB back on Tuesday of last week, we commented on the promising nature of trials the company currently has underway relating to various treatments based on its Cell-in-a-Box® technology.

At the end of last week, PharmaCyte announced some promising research specifically pertaining to its diabetes treatment, with the claim that it can actually reverse Type-1 Diabetes in mice.The full paper can be found at http://www.nature.com/articles/mtm201511. Human trials are the next step to take, and needless to say, should the treatment prove effective using PMCB’s encapsulation technology (that we described in our initial report,) acquisition by a large pharmaceutical company could become a very real possibility.

That also seems to be the thinking on the Street, as PMCB has made some impressive strides on the chart over the past several sessions. From the low of .12 that we observed in this play on 04/08, it has made its way up as high as .22; a respectable 83% overall increase. That impressive high came during yesterday’s session in conjunction with a breach of the current 200DMA of .19.

PMCB will be one that we want to keep on continuous watch due to its potentially industry-disruptive diabetes treatment.

Pazoo, Inc. PZOO

PZOO has been a flipper’s dream since we re-initiated coverage on it just a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday’s low registered as .008 before the stock bounced back to .0097, a 21% intraday swing.

It was the same story on Wednesday; we saw PZOO dip to a low of .0074 before returning as high as .0103 (+39%) We’ve continually stated that we’d like to see the stock trading at or above the .008 range which, for the most part, it has continued to do.

CEO David Cunic appeared in an audio interview yesterday, and this morning we’re seeing another PR directing our attention to an 8-K filing which outlines a recent agreement, among other things, so our readers might want to check out those links.

In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for upcoming intraday gain opportunities from PZOO, such as those that it has delivered numerous time over the past several sessions.

Identiv, Inc. INVE

We also want to make a quick mention of INVE, which made a solid 14% move yesterday as it traded in a range from 11.12-12.67. It came on over ten times the 3-month average volume, so we’ll be observing this one as the week draws to a close, and possibly into next week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Big News for KRFT & More

Kraft (KRFT) to Merge With Heinz
–
In a move that will effectively create the third-biggest food company on the North American continent, it has been announced that Kraft Foods Group Inc. (KRFT) and H.J. Heinz Co. will merge. 3G Capital and Berkshire Hathaway, which bought Heinz for $23B and took it private back in 2013, will be orchestrating the deal.

As a result of this development, KRFT is gapping up monstrously in the premarket to the tune of more than 30% Generally when we see a stock soar on news like this, our first instinct is to continually scan for a dip-and-rip scenario once the session commences. When the rip does occur, we’re going to be looking to April $75-85 Calls for intraday options trading possibilities.

Kraft Foods, H.J. Heinz to Merge (Wed 8:18AM EDT)

Social Media Sector on Watch

Despite uncertainly over whether interest rates will be raised this year causing a general downturn in the markets, social media stocks appeared to be an exception yesterday.

We’re always looking for trends to exploit for options trading, and should Facebook, Inc. FB, Twitter, Inc. TWTR, and LinkedIn Corp. LNKD continue their hot hand this week, we could see some nice action in the following contracts:

FB Weekly $84-86 Calls
TWTR Weekly $50-52 Calls
LNKD Weekly $260-265 Calls

Vascular Biogenics, Inc. VBLT

VBLT is another gapper this morning that has surged in the premarket following the company Q4 earnings release. The stock briefly spiked to its 50DMA of 8.65 in early trading, and appears as if it will open in the 6.50’s.

We will look to see VBLT re-break the $7-mark once the session kicks off, as there is a large gap on the chart as we point out below, the filling of which would make for some highly notable gains. It’s definitely a stock we want to keep on our radar as we cruise through mid-week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Review & More

Yesterday’s Options Ideas

The options ideas contained in yesterday’s premarket report ended up performing extremely well for us, further outlining why we focus so often on options trading.  

For American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. AEO, we were interested in $15-16 Weekly Calls after noticing its earnings beat, and we met with possible gains in all cases:

-The $15 Calls traded as low as .80 before hitting a high of 1.25, a gain of 56%

-The 15.50 Calls traded as low as .30, and hit a subsequent high of .75; an intraday increase of 150%

-The 16$ calls traded as low as .16 and hit a high of .35, which is equal to a 118% move.

Abercrombie & Fitch ANF was trending in the opposite direction, so we ventured a few conservative ideas* for Weekly $23-24 Puts and the stock continued its decline throughout the session, enabling considerable profits:

-The $23 Puts saw a low of .87 low and closed at 2.74 for an impressive 215% run.

-The $23.50’s rose from a 1.20 low and ended up closing at 3.00, marking a 150% jump.

– The $24 Puts went from a 1.53 up as high as 3.84, an intraday gain of 151%

This morning, ANF is continuing its decline in premarket trading, so traders who chose to hold any of these contracts would be up even more than the figures listed here.

*Please note that the contracts we selected, while they obviously did extremely well, were fairly deep into the money so as to play it relatively safe. Traders looking to assume a bit more risk could have chosen to strike outside of the money, and it would have paid off in a big way. For an example, we can refer to the ANF $21 Puts which traded in a range from .10-.90. (+800%).

Infosonics Corp. IFON

After appearing in yesterday’s extended watchlist, IFON rapidly produced a hearty early-morning rip. The stock opened up at 2.34 and ran as high as 3.18 in the first ten minutes of trading! Quick-witted traders could have come away with rapid gains of up to 36%
