Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPY Recap, GEQU & More

SPY Options Recap

We have found tremendous success in options trading this week. We enjoyed multi-bag moves from contracts in the FB and GPRO chains early on, and yesterday, we saw the same success in our targeted SPY Calls.

The specific contracts we tagged for observation were the SPY Weekly $191.50-193 Calls and in addition to some healthy initial pops, we saw dip-and-rip patterns in every case providing for a second chance for huge intraday gains, which registered as follows:

$191.50 Calls  – Initial Run: .49-1.01 – Gain: 106% – 2nd Swing: .27-.87 – Gain: 222%
$192 Calls  – Initial Run: .67-1.27 – Gain: 90% – 2nd Swing: ..41-1.15 – Gain: 180%
$192.50 Calls  – Initial Run: .49-1.01 – Gain: 106% – 2nd Swing: .27-.88 – Gain: 226%
$193 Calls  – Initial Run: .33-.77 – Gain: 133% – 2nd Swing: ..19-.64 – Gain: 237%

Pretty much every options-trading idea we submitted in our reports this week worked out exceedingly well, so congratulations to any of our followers who enjoyed some of the same success. It’s a perfect example of why we like to mix  options ideas in with the ideas we have pertaining to stocks. Be sure to stick with us into next week, when we’ll be sure to do it all over again!


Global Equity International, Inc. GEQU

This had certainly been one of our biggest standouts of the week in terms of equities. On Monday we flagged GEQU and subsequently observed the stock trading at a low of .021 that day. By Wednesday it had hit .036 (+70%), and continued to pile on the gains during yesterday’s session.

We noted the stock’s recent tendency to push to higher PPS levels despite bearing a chart which looks heavily overbought, and that trend continued with an intraday move from a low of .0355 to .044, a 24% percent jump. From Monday’s low, it marked a four-session increase of 110%

Again, when the momentum finally dies down, we’ll be looking to take advantage of a consolidation followed by a rebound.


Cherubim Interests, Inc. CHIT

CHIT is a stock that we’ve been tracking since last Friday, and despite trading sideways for most of the week the stock did end up making quite an appreciable move. We saw it rise from a low of .0016 and fall just a tick short of cracking into pennyland.

Yesterday’s high represented a three-session swing of 725% and the move came on nearly seven times the monthly average volume.

Blue Horseshow Stocks: More Great Options Calls, COLV, GEQU

Continued Options Trading Success

Yesterday, we recapped the huge performances from the options contracts we designated for tracking in Tuesday’s premarket report, which returned the possibility of intraday gains ranging from 87-410%

Those were the GPRO Weekly $31-32.50 Calls, and the FB Weekly $90-91 Calls, and based on what we were seeing in yesterday’s premarket, we also offered our opinion as to how things could play out from that point forward.

To the folks just arriving to the party, so to speak, we suggested “waiting for the dip caused by profit-takers to ride the subsequent rebound.” The action in our observed contracts essentially transpired according to our expectations, and once again, impressive intraday profits were there for the taking.

$31 Calls  – Daily Range: .39-1.12 – Max Gain: 187%
$31.50 Calls  – Daily Range: .29-.85 – Max Gain: 193%
$32 Calls  – Daily Range: .21-.67 – Max Gain: 219%
$32.50 Calls  – Daily Range: .13-.39 – Max Gain: 200%

$90 Calls  – Daily Range: .43-1.18 – Max Gain: 168%
$90.50 Calls  – Daily Range: .34-.91 – Max Gain: 168%
$91 Calls  – Daily Range: .22-.73 – Max Gain: 204%


In addition to the initial ranges listed above, even more added gains were technically possible, as market action allowed for secondary swings in almost every case.

The markets appear strong in early trading once again, so we’ll be approaching today’s session in much the same fashion as we have the preceding two, except today we’ll be looking to modify our strike prices according to present conditions.

New Idea:

We’ll also look at the possibility of taking advantage of SPY Weekly $191.50-193 Calls should today’s activity continue to mimic recent sessions.


Coastal Integrated Services, Inc.  COLV

We included this subpenny stock on our extended watchlist yesterday, and COLV manage to record its third consecutive session of higher highs and higher lows off of its recently registered annual low (.0012).

It ran from .0024 to a daily high of .0037, which represents an intraday gain of 54%. COLV will need to continue to establish higher base levels of support in order to keep our attention going forward.


Global Equity International, Inc. GEQU

Speaking of extended watchlist plays, on Monday we tagged GEQU for tracking, and have been met with the chance for some respectable intraweek gains. The stock logged a low of .021 on Monday, and as of yesterday’s high of .036, we had witnessed a 70% increase.

The GEQU Chart appears quite overbought, but the same has been true in recent weeks and the stock has been on a continual uptrend. We’ll be on the lookout for the possibility of further increases while remaining open to the fact that a consolidation could be in the cards, and in that event, staying ready to take advantage of a possible dip-and-rip scenario.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPHS, OPXA, PPCH Highlights

Sophiris Bio, Inc. SPHS

SPHS was the first mention from yesterday’s morning report to grab our attention with an early surge that provided the chance at a rapid, substantial gain. From the low-of-day at 1.02, the stock made a big move to 1.64; an increase of 60% inside of the first half-hour of the session. The bulk of the day’s volume, which came in at more than 18X the three-month average, traded in that short time-span as well.

In addition to the heavy volume, making its biggest moves early in the trading day seems to be an established pattern with SPHS, so we’ll have an eye peeled as the session commences today.


Opexa Therapeutics, Inc. OPXA

The other standout from yesterday’s report was OPXA, which spiked on word of coverage initiation by large investment banking and research firm, Maxim Group. (>>View PR)

From its daily low of .43, the stock stair-stepped its way up throughout the session and eventually hit a high of .54; an intraday gain of 26% As it appears to gapping up in the premarket and has already touched .58, the total increase we’ve seen gets pushed to 35% We’ll be interested to follow the impending activity as well as check out the CEO’s presentation which we detail below.

Per a news release from last week, “Neil K. Warma, President and Chief Executive Officer, will present at the 2015 Marcum Microcap Conference on Thursday, May 28, 2015, at 11:30 a.m. EDT in the Plymouth Room. The conference will be held at the Grand Hyatt New York Hotel in New York, NY. A live webcast of the company presentation can be accessed here, or via the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.opexatherapeutics.com.


Propanc Health Group Corp. PPCH

PPCH is a stock that we began tracking in the second week of March, and over the period of several weeks since that time the stock has made some truly epic moves. Subsequent to our tag of PPCH on March 18th, we observed a low of .0116, followed by an impressive run up to an even dime. That 762% mega-run was followed by a tapering back to a low of .021.

Yesterday the stock soared almost all the way back to its previous high, touching .094, which marks another swing of 348% that we;ve seen from this incredible mover. If the stock can breach that previous swing-high, it’ll be off to the races, so we’ll definitely keep PPCH an item of interest moving forward.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ESPR Highlights & Much More

Yesterday, on a day when the market as a whole was faltering, we’re proud to say we managed to bring our readers several opportunities to gain in both stocks and options:

Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. ESPR- Options Ideas

ESPR turned out to be a great call for us in yesterday’s morning report. The stock itself made an impressive session-long move from a low of 82.69 up to 100.50 (+22%), resulting in some monstrous spikes for the options ideas we highlighted.

We raised a flag of interest on in-the-money Weekly Calls, and were rewarded with mega-spikes across the board:

$80 Calls – Trading Range: 4.00-20.00  Max Gain: 400%
$85 Calls – Trading Range: 2.15-14.50  Max Gain: 574%
$90 Calls – Trading Range: .70-14.50  Max Gain: 1400%
$95 Calls – Trading Range: .64-7.25  Max Gain: 1032%

Even the play we designated as a longer-term selection, the 04/17 $90 Calls, were immediately and significantly impacted, trading in a range from 3.50-14.50. That move was good for intraday gains of up to 314%


As far as our other options calls were concerned, we met with success there as well:

American Airlines Group Inc. AALFor AAL, we zeroed in on the 04/02 $55 Calls which ended up trading up from .79, to as high as 1.11, marking a 40% intraday gain. Any other contracts that got pushed into the money would have also provided excellent opportunities for successful day-trades.

Apple, Inc. AAPL – On AAPL, we mentioned that we’d be watching the 04/02 $129 Calls and those made a healthy run from 1.25-1.80, for a chance at profit in excess of 44% on the day.



Other Standouts From Tuesday

There was significant excitement over the success of our options calls yesterday, but we still don’t want these other notable gainers from our watchlist to get lost in the shuffle:

Propanc Health Group Corp. PPCH – Trading Range: .0211-.03 – Max Gain: 42%

Microvision, Inc. MVIS – Trading Range: 3.07-3.55 – Max Gain: 16%

NovaBay Pharma, Inc. NBY – Trading Range: .56-.65 – Max Gain: 16%

Black Diamond, Inc. BDE – Trading Range: 8.45-9.84 – Max Gain: 16%


Side Note:

We are going to be sitting on the sidelines watching like hawks until we hear from Janet Yellen as the big FOMC meeting kicks off today. What she ultimately has to say will likely sway the markets one way or the other; we will wait to see which direction they’re going to go.

If the bull market remains intact, we’ll be looking to go long on SPY Calls.  Should the direction be a downward one, we can entertain UVXY and/or VIX Calls. Remember: Whatever way it plays out, we’ll want to stay in-the-money with our strike prices.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MVIS, IBIO Recaps, Options Ideas & More

Monday’s Watchlist Movers

iBio, Inc. IBIO – A quick search of IBIO in our archives reveals a lengthy history of mentions. We have definitely seen some impressive moves from this play in the past. History tends to repeat itself, and did so once again as IBIO stood out on yesterday’s extended watchlist.

The stock made a solid intraday move, trading in a range from .72-.89. That was good for gains of up to 24%, and the move came on great-than-average volume. We’re going to keep a continued watch on this play; if it manages to break through its recent resistance area around 1.00-1.05, things could get very interesting from there.

Microvision, Inc. MVIS – This one appeared in yesterday’s gap-up watchlist, and it too would make a modest, yet solid move. The stock made a continual move-up in the first two hours of trading, rising from a low of 2.88 to a HOD of 3.44. That marked out an intraday gain of 19%

Options Ideas: ESPR 04/17 $90 Calls (Last traded at 3.50) for a longer-term swing trade idea. For shorter-term day trading opportunities, we can look to play in-the-money Weekly Calls, in the event that any dip and rip scenarios present themselves.
