Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Huge SPY Gains, AMPG New Highs

Amplitech Group, Inc. AMPG – Update

We were all over AMPG once again last week, as we have been since the beginning of April when we initiated coverage on the stock. The move on Friday followed the news that the company virtually doubled their yearly expected sales via acquisition of a long-established, privately-held company.

AMPG made a 15% intraday push to a new high of .063 which works out to an overall increase of 47% over the .043 low we observed on the day of our initial report on the company (04/01/19). It also came with the biggest single-session volume recorded over these past six weeks.

Friday’s gains pushed AMPG‘s market cap above the $3M mark, although we would argue that even at that price, the stock is still grossly undervalued at present. Especially when one considers that it’s notably less than the combined expected annual sales of AMPG and the pending acquisition target, which you can read about in the link to the news above, or in the 8-K filed this morning.

We remain excited for the future potential of this company, and its stock. Stay tuned for future updates and be sure to commence your own due diligence, starting at AmpliTechInc.com.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh AMPG News

Amplitech Group, Inc. AMPG – Big News Alert

First thing’s first- Amplitech has just dropped a fresh PR this morning in the premarket that we wanted to pass along to our readers. As we were just mentioning yesterday, this stock has made a solid 28% increase since we first began tracking it on April 1st (.043-.055), so we’re very interested to take a look at the key news update that has just been provided.

For a sum of just over $2M, AMPG has executed an acquisition of the business assets of privately-held, NY-based, microwave tech firm, Specialty Microwave Corp. (SMW), which boasts an average annual rate of $1.75M in sales over the past three years. A continuation of that trend following the final completion of the acquisition would nearly double AMPG’s 2018 sales! (>>View PR)

What this means for AMPG stock, which was already plenty attractive to us prior to learning of this development, is massive potential for more gains in the immediate future. Remember, we’re dealing with an incredibly tight share structure in AMPG, with just 22M shares in the float, so news of such an acquisition has the potential to be a springboard to a significantly higher PPS!

The deal is for all of SMW’s assets, customers, team members, and upon final completion in the next quarter, AMPG will move its own operations to SMW’s headquarters, just a few miles down the road from Bohemia in nearby Ronkonkoma, NY, and is expected to be wrapped up by July.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPY, MAXR Recaps & More

Maxar Technologies, Inc. MAXR – Review

Despite what appears to be a significant downturn looming this morning, the markets as a whole posted a solid bullish session on Friday, and that helped one stock we’ve been tracking in recent weeks to record a new high for us.

We tagged MAXR for observation in mid-March, and before the end of the month, it had consolidated down to a low of 3.83. The month of April brought a fairly steady uptrend, and Friday’s strong performance kicked it up another notch. The stock hit a new high of 6.66, marking a move of 74% in just over six weeks. The stock filled almost the entire topside gap that was on the chart, and the RSI has just cracked into the Power Zone, so we’ll want to continue to keep an eye on its activity.

Sysco Corp. SYY – Options Idea

Despite continued China trade tensions throwing a wrench into the markets to start the week today, we are going to be looking a little further ahead with an options idea relating to the imminent golden cross on the SYY chart, combined with the company’s earnings beat posted this morning in the premarket.

The food wholesaler has a chance to break a double top, and we’re going to be ready with an options idea in the event that it manages to do so. Our highlighted targets are going to be the SYY 06/14 $69.50-71 Calls.

Special Note: Our extended watchlist today contains more penny stocks than usual. The OTC tends to heat up when uncertainty strikes the larger markets. We’ll have an eye peeled for interesting activity on that front.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Earnings Related Options Ideas

Earnings Related Options Ideas

As our regular readers are well aware, a majority of our focus in recent years has been shifted from straight stock trading ideas to options. More specifically, short-term options in companies that have just reported their quarterly earnings.

We are the absolute best newsletter for options daytrading in existence, routinely providing ideas with multi-bag gain potential each and every week. Our record, which anyone can view at any time in our archives, speaks for itself.

After a huge number of reporting companies just released their quarterlies and several high impact economic reports came back positive this morning, we’re going to revisit some ideas in a few chains that have been good to us in the past:

Shake Shack, Inc. SHAK Weekly $67.50 Calls
Weight Watchers International, Inc. WW Weekly $22.50 Calls
SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY) Weekly $292.50 Calls
____

Bonus Idea:

Biogen, Inc. BIIB has been largely trading sideways since its huge flop on its alzheimer’s drug back in March caused a massive cratering of the stock. We look for large gaps on charts like this, along with signs that a stock has reached its lowest likely trading value. The latter signal, we can infer from the huge blocks of insider buying at current levels which have been reported over the past week. Two Form-4’s amounting to a total of roughly $20M in insider buys suggest that the current base is solid. We’ll look to take advantage of a longer-term idea and track the BIIB 07/19 $240-250 Calls.

ARCA Biopharma, Inc. ABIO

Occasionally we do still provide straight stock ideas as well, when a solid bottom or news play catches our attention. We put ABIO on bottom watch at the end of March when it was trading in the upper-$6 to $7 range. The stock was under steady consolidation for the whole of April, and reached as low as 5.01 just this week before launching into a huge two day uptrend.

Yesterday it reached a new high of 20.45, which marks an overall rise of 308% We also re-tagged it in our premarket report yesterday, and for those that only put it on their radars following that alert, yesterday’s intraday move alone was fairly impressive. It ran from 12.03 up to the previously mentioned high, which marks a one day upswing of 70%
