Blue Horseshoe Stocks: NKE Review & More

NIKE, Inc. NKE – Options Update

Yesterday we brought a grouping of NKE options ideas to the table following a post-market options beat the previous day.

Despite the slow market conditions that are to be expected of a week leading into the year-end holidays, we felt that NKE was set to provide some opportunities, and we weren’t disappointed.

Our targets for “daytrades and/or swing trades” were the NKE Weekly $52.50-54 Calls and it appears as if both notions will turn out to be correct, with the stock looking like it could post another strong session today. As for the daytrades that were possible yesterday, we saw the most notable moves out of three sets of contracts in our highlighted range:

$52.50 Calls – Range: .15-.38 – Max Gain: 153%
$53 Calls – Range: .07-.21 – Max Gain: 200%
$29 Calls – Range: .03-.09 – Max Gain: 200%


ERF Wireless, Inc. ERFB

We want to provide a quick update on ERFB this morning, which we highlighted in last Friday’s premarket repot.  The stock saw a subsequent low of .0013 following that alert, and as of yesterday it had pushed as high as .0079.

That worked out to a 508% intraweek move up, so we want to say congrats to anyone who took this subpenny popper for a ride on the heels of last week’s tag.


Potential Bottom-Plays

We found a pair of stocks this morning that are both trading near their relative bottoms, with strong indications of impending rebounds on both of the charts.

Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. IMMY
& Ideal Power, Inc. IPWR

In addition to a ripe-looking chart, IMMY has seen some insider buying of late. A recent Form-4 filing revealed a significant buy ($280K) from CEO Mark Baum, who, coincidentally enough, also serves on the board of IPWR. We’re going to keep both of these stocks on recovery watch in the days and weeks ahead.


Fresh Options Idea:  MU Weekly $22-23.50 Calls

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Updates, Bottom-Watcher & More

Updates From Last Week

Interpace Diagnostics Group, Inc. IDXG – We outlined IDXG in Thursday morning’s report, and after witnessing a low of .3619 followed by an excellent 232% pop to 1.20 on that first day, we were optimistic about our chances for seeing more new highs on Friday.

They did come, early on in the session as IDXG ripped to a new high of 1.98, bringing our two-day total observed gain on the stock to a walloping 447%

MJP International Ltd. MJPI

After initially alerting this stock on Wednesday at a low of .85, MJPI is another multi-dayrunner that we were tracking into the latter half of last week that ended up setting new highs on Friday.

The stock traded in a range from 1.38 and went as high as 2.02; a 46% intraday push. The new top mark, from our observed low of .85, represented an overall increase of 138% in a span of just three sessions.


Ophthotech Corp. OPHT

OPHT is setting off our bottom alarms in a big way this morning. The stock is getting absolutely massacred in the premarket in the wake of a poor clinical data release today. The stock is falling to record lows, which is always something that causes us to take note.

Whenever a knee-jerk reaction to any news sends a stock barreling down to its lowest prices ever, you can be all but certain that at some point in the near future, there’s going to be a substantial rebound. With that comes bounceplay opportunities- a chance to properly time the eventual recovery for what could be significant gains. That’s why we’re placing OPHT on intensive bottom watch in coming sessions.
