Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Tuesday’s Gainers, Options Recap & More

Yesterday’s Movers

While Tuesday’s activity was more subdued than the landmark session we had on Monday, we did manage to find major success with our options trading ideas, as well as the following stocks which made moderate moves to the upside:

Propanc Health Group Corp. PPCH – PPCH is a stock we’ve talked about on several occasions in the past, and it continued its ascent off of recently established annual lows following its inclusion in yesterday’s morning report.

The stock traded in a range from .0188 to .026, an intraday pop totaling 38%, and it did so on volume which came in at nearly quadruple the 3-month average. It also closed just a few ticks below the HOD, so we’ll certainly have a continued spot on our watchlist reserved for PPCH for the time being.

_____

Black Stallion Oil & Gas, Inc. BLKG – Traders with a quick trigger finger could have taken advantage of the rapid move made by BLKG right out of the starting gate yesterday, with its spike from .08 to .12. The run was, however, relatively short-lived as compared to the previously mentioned play.

Options Recap

Our options calls (and puts!) turned out to be the stars of the show yesterday, as we were mentioning above. As our regular readers are surely aware, we’ve developed the keen ability to spot short-term options opportunities with hawk-like acuity, and that fact was on full display once again.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Momentum Play, Options & More

Shark Reach, Inc. SHRK

We’re going to be tagging SHRK for observation as a momentum mover this morning after noticing the huge activity in the stock yesterday. It came in conjunction with an article that Forbes ran about the company and its “influencer marketing” strategies. (>>View Article).

Many of our readers will have been aware of the marketing campaign that accompanied the theatrical release of the movie Straight Outta Compton, which was orchestrated by SharkReach. They promised Universal Pictures 7 million impressions and delivered more than 130 million, thanks in large part to the graphical memes that gained viral popularity for a period of months leading up to and following the film’s debut.

The rapid growth into a major player in less than three years of business definitely puts the company on our radar long term, but for the time being, there may be some short-term advantage to press with SHRK. We’ll look for profit-takers to surface after the stock’s rapid and meteoric rise, and be ready for a classic dip-and-rip scenario.

Facebook, Inc. FB – Options Ideas

With regard to a fresh options trading idea, we’re going to be watching Facebook for a possible move to the short side. The stock recently made a run that proved unsustainable, and the chart is looking rather toppy at the moment with a significant gap to fill to the low side.

For potential daytrading and intraweek swing-trade ideas we will be monitoring the Feb 5th $113-110 Puts. For a longer-term idea, assuming more hardship lay ahead for the stock, we’ll want to keep an eye on Feb 19th $109-105 Puts.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FB, TWTR, POWR, ONVO & More

Facebook, Inc. FB
& Twitter, Inc. TWTR

After we included FB and TWTR in our extended watchlist yesterday, the two social media giants both made positive moves on the day. The uptrends made trading in the options chains of each of these plays a lucrative venture for the session.

For example, looking at some of the options contracts that were relatively close to the money, FB $66 calls went from .48-1.64, and $67 Calls were as low as .21 and closed at .86. TWTR $39 Calls were also moving, trading in a range from .24 to .90. No matter what big-board stock you’re looking at options in, the heaviest action will usually be close to the money (i.e. Current market price as it relates to the “strike-price” of a given contract)

PowerSecure International, Inc. POWR

POWR was a feature in yesterday’s report, wherein we tagged the stock for its potential to fill in a huge gap on its chart that goes all the way to the $18-range. We began to see the gap beginning to fill as POWR would make a modest intraday run to a high of 9.79.

We’re going to leave this play on our watchlist as we head into the week’s end and beyond, as it still has much ground to recover. A return to pre-gap levels on the chart would still equate to gains in excess of 100% from here, and there isn’t a whole lot in the way of obvious resistance until we hit the 50DMA (12.27).

On the options side of things, we’re particularly interested in the August $10 Calls (Closed at .75 yesterday), because if POWR can test that 50DMA by 08/16, we could be looking at triple-bag gains from those contracts.

Organovo Holdings, Inc. ONVO

We placed ONVO on watch in Tuesday’s report, as we noticed that unlike some of the other players in the 3D printing industry, it had yet to show a significant uptrend on the chart, and we thought it might be due to make a move.

It appears that alert was quite timely, as the stock is beginning to rear its head, gapping up today to the tune of 13% in premarket trading. Key resistance at the 200DMA (8.07) has been broken, and if we can hold above that mark, the next areas of resistance crop up at 8.65, and 9.35.

Comments on Today’s GoPro IPO

A large portion of the buzz on the Street today is emanating from the highly-anticipated GoPro Initial Price Offering, and we’re going to take the same stance we always take in these situations.

Our M/O when a big IPO comes out has always been to wait in the wings until we can gauge the price action. Once we get a good feel for the nature of the beast, it’s then that we’ll step in and utilize the trends to our best advantage in the options chain. This strategy served us well on both the FB and TWTR IPO’s, so we’ll continue to use it here.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: End-of-Week Updates

Update on This Week’s Options Calls

Sensing the overall trend in the markets yesterday led us to profess our interest in Options Calls on these big-board stocks. It turned out to be a good decision- it wouldn’t have mattered which options chain you went with, gains were possible with all four:

FB, GOGO, PCLN, TSLA

The biggest opportunities came with GOGO and TSLA, but we’re still looking at call contracts for all of them. Additionally, we want to add FEYE and DDD to that mix as we head into the upcoming long weekend.

We’ve also been tracking AAPL Calls intensively over the past several sessions, and the stock did in fact hit new highs in the $609’s yesterday, so we’ll keep ourselves hot on the trail of potential gains in the Apple options chain as well.

It isn’t every day that we track options calls so heavily, but when we do, it seems to work out for us more often than not.

Royale Energy, Inc. ROYL

ROYL was a particularly bright spot on yesterday’s Extended Watchlist. The stock began to run right out of the gate, rapidly appreciating from it daily low of 3.12 to a subsequent high of 4.12.

That was a solid intraday move of 32% on nearly 39x its 3-month average, perhaps largely due to the PR that hit the wires yesterday:

SAN DIEGO, May 22, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Royale Energy, Inc. (ROYL), announced that Rampart Energy, Ltd and Royale Energy, Inc. are pleased to jointly issue an update to shareholders and stakeholders on the seismic received:

HIGHLIGHTS

Large conventional target up to 20,000 acres in size;
Strongly supported by Direct Hydrocarbon Indicators (‘DHI’s’);
Joint interpretation of the Big Bend Cube taking place in San Diego;
Very strong results dovetail into drilling plans with submission of key permits for approval by Alaskan regulators;
Prospective Resource assessment to be completed soon. >>FULL PR

We’ll most likely be monitoring this play for awhile, as positive results from that upcoming ‘Resource Assessment’ could drive even more interest ROYL’s way.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Updates on IGC, MY, NEWL & Extended Watchlist

Extended Watchlist Winners:

Yesterday’s Extended Watchlist unearthed a couple of gems, so let’s start things off today by congratulating those who were able to capitalize on the ample chances to profit that these plays offered:

India Globalization Capital, Inc. (IGC)

IGC rewarded us for our attention with a bullish session that saw its low before 10am and ran into the close. From a daily low of 1.27, the stock pushed its way all the way up to 2.08, a highly respectable 64% intraday move, with a couple of vital swings in between that could have been timed for even more opportunities.

It did so on roughly 40x its 3-month average volume, giving us another clue that this could be a play with continued momentum. Even now, in early pre-market trading the stock has run as high as the 2.20’s so we’ll be on the lookout for one of two things; either the momentum carries it further, or profit-taking causes a pullback, in which case we’d be watching for a classic dip-and-rip on the rebound.

If the severity of yesterday’s swing action on the chart spills over into today, there could in fact be several intraday moves that we may be able to use to our advantage.

China Ming Yang Wind Power Group Limited (MY)

The other success from yesterday’s watchlist was MY. This play was one of the most gradual gainers you’re likely to see. Following its daily low of 2.83 it stair-stepped its way into the close at its high of day at 3.63. That was good for a solid intraday gain of 28% on more than four times the 3-month average volume.

Much like the previously mentioned play, we’ll be looking for MY to possibly continue its upward movement today after settling down from what appears to be another pre-market gap-up. In morning trading so far, the stock has pushed past yesterday’s high; if we see another dip-and-rip today it will be the third consecutive session in which one has occurred.

NewLead Holdings Ltd. NEWL

As we stated yesterday, we’ve been following NEWL for awhile now, and the recovery we’re seeing off of its recent bottom of .3867 has sprouted into a multi-day run that has been nothing short of impressive.

The stock gained even more ground following our morning report, wherein we mentioned that we wanted to see a break of the pre-market high of 4.20. We got that and more, as NEWL went on to reach 4.79 with volume 15x greater than normal.

Modest intraday gains of 26% were possible with NEWL yesterday, but the truly impressive figure is the five-session increase we’ve now witnessed from the above-mentioned low to yesterday’s high, which stood at 1138%

The stock also landed us in the Penny Stock Rumble for the day’s largest dollar-volume pick, with more than $160M worth of shares changing hands on the day.

Added Comments:

The markets as a whole had their best day all month on Wednesday, and it translated into gains for us. The overall sentiment is that conditions should remain favorable as long as the Fed holds off on any changes in interest rates. Following the revelation that there would be no increase at this time, the following four major players began to run:

FB, GOGO, PCLN, TSLA

We’ll be monitoring the Options Call action on all of these big-board plays for continued momentum today.
