Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Continued Options Tracking & More

Options Recap

To start things off today we’ll be going over the continued success of our running options ideas for the week. During market conditions like the ones we’ve been seeing, oftentimes big gains from stocks can be fewer and farther between, so it’s nice to be able to fall back on options trading. Quarterly periods where earnings reports are dropping with the highest frequency really provides a lot of great chances for quick strike profits.

Ford Motor Co. (F) – Ford has been an excellent example of a massive gainer in a short span. We’ve been tracking F Weekly $14.50 and $15 Calls since Tuesday, at which time we observed lows of .18 and .02 respectively.  After the $14.50’s made huge gains possible for us that day, the $15’s joined in yesterday and both sets went haywire.

The $14.50’s ran from a daily low of .35 to a high of .78; an intraday romp of 123%

The $15’s traded in a massive range from .05-.32, giving daytraders a shot at gains of up to 540% on the session, and giving us yet another multi-bag call in what has been a landmark week for our options-trading ideas!

Pfizer, Inc. PFE – We also offered suggestions for Pfizer in the same Tuesday report, the   PFE Weekly $34.50 and $35 Calls. We saw lows of .26 and .10 respectively for those contracts. Yesterday, new highs were set in both cases, with the $34.50’s making a total move of 476% to 1.50, and the $35’s ramping up to the tune of 970% as they surged as high as 1.07.

YESTERDAY’S NEW IDEAS

Following a recap of the two preceding plays in yesterday’s morning report, we presented a couple of fresh ideas and both of those ended up yielding significant opportunities as well:

Twitter, Inc. TWTR – We went bearish on TWTR and submitted our interest in the Weekly $34-32 Puts, and the chances to gain were plentiful:$34 Puts – Daily Range: 1.32-3.60 – Max Gain: 173%
$33.50 Puts – Daily Range: 1.00-2.35 – Max Gain: 135%
$33 Puts – Daily Range: .76-2.00 – Max Gain: 163%
$32.50 Puts – Daily Range: .55-1.48 – Max Gain: 169%
$32 Puts – Daily Range: .38-1.12 – Max Gain: 123%

Micron Technologies, Inc. MU – For MU we drew attention to Weekly $19-20.50 Calls and were met with some nice opportunities there also. $19.50 ran from .75-1.10 (+47%) and the $20 Calls traded in a range from .40-.75 (+88%).

Mobile Broadcasting Holding, Inc.  MBHC

MBHC has released a fresh PR this morning that we’ll suggest all our readers take a look at, as it pertains to the company’s ‘Whirld’ app  which, if everything remains in step with the timeline previously given by MBHC, is slated for official launch in mid-August.

Here’s a look at the current chart for MBHC on the snapshot below. The stock has managed to hold support off of the 50DMA amid recent consolidation, and we’ll be on the lookout for it to get its next leg up soon, especially with the app launch just a couple of short weeks away:

PISCATAWAY TOWNS, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / July 30, 2015 / Mobile Broadcasting Corporation, (OTC PINK: MBHC) Mobile Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) announced today the findings from their current Apple iTunes BETA test and their plans to engage and work directly with EDM VLOGGERS and DJ MIX BROADCASTERS that have a combined MONTHLY fan base of 200 MM + consumers for the upcoming global launch of WHIRLD WITHIN iTunes and Google Play Storefronts. >>PR FULL

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: NUGN on Bottom-Watch & More

NuGene International, Inc. NUGN

We’re mentioning NUGN for the first time this morning on the heels of some interesting events that have recently unfolded. The stock had been on a sustained uptrend for over two months that was apparently the product of a massive promotion (in which we played no role) which resulted in the PPS running from below $2 to more than $4.

On Wednesday, the company issued a public statement to clarify that it was not involved in promotional activities of any sort >>Read PR

What followed yesterday was a massive sell-off to the tune of nearly 40%, and that’s where we enter the picture. Regardless of the catalysts behind NUGN’s gradual rise and rapid fall, we’re only interested in the chart activity that will follow. We’re going to highlight NUGN as a bottom-watch play, because the resultant bounce when the stock finds a solid level of support could make quick-strike gains a snap for those paying close enough attention.

Fresh News Plays

We’re going to tag both of the following for observation today after each published notable premarket PR’s this morning:

AmeriMex International, Inc. AMMX

In addition to announcing the latest in a long string of recently secured purchase agreements (links below), the AMMX chart is looking rather bullish at the moment.

Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. CRBP

We’ll also keep an eye on CRBP, which has some FDA-related news out today.

Corbus Pharmaceuticals Announces FDA Orphan Drug Designation for Resunab(TM) for the Treatment of Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma) (Fri 8:12AM EDT)

Options Idea:

Twitter, Inc. TWTR is responding well in the wake of the revelation that its current CEO will be stepping down on July 1st. We’re going to put TWTR Weekly $36-38 Calls on watch today as well, for potential daytrading opportunities.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Recap of Friday & Much More

Friday’s Options Ideas:

We had our eyes on a handful of options trading possibilities on Friday, and we did see some significant moves to the upside emerge from that group. We’ll kick things off this week by outlining some of the opportunities that were available for traders within the price ranges we specified in Friday’s report:

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. SWKS
$94.50 Calls – Range: 1.26-3.63 – Max Gain: 188%
$95 Calls – Range: .84-3.20 – Max Gain: 280%
$95.50 Calls – Range: .60-2.28 – Max Gain: 280%
$96 Calls – Range: .53-2.36 – Max Gain: 345%

Expedia, Inc. EXPE
$99 Calls – Range: 1.43-3.60 –  Max Gain: 152%
$99.50 Calls – Range: 2.00-2.83 – Max Gain: 41%

FireEye, Inc. FEYE
05/08 $42 Calls – Range: 1.70-2.55 – Max Gain: 50%
05/08 $43 Calls – Range: 1.25-2.00 – Max Gain: 60%

It’s quite the task for anyone to provide just one worthwhile options-trading idea, and on Friday, we were three for three. It serves as a great example of why we like to mix plenty of these options ideas into our daily reports; the gains are out there, ripe for the taking! 

Advanced Medical Isotope Corp. ADMD

Our attention was drawn to ADMD this morning as it popped up on our news scanner; the company has come forth with information regarding an “error in the calculation of common shares that should have properly been issued, resulting in significant excess issuances of common stock”. It essentially boils down to an estimated positive impact of $0.8M on ADMD’s balance sheet.

We naturally took a look at the ADMD chart upon taking notice of this news, and as we point out with the annotations below, there are several indications of a bullish trend in effect. As a result, we’ll want to keep watch over ADMD as we begin this new trading week.

Rebound For Social Media Stocks?

LinkedIn Corp. LNKD and Twitter, Inc. TWTR were both crushed on disappointing earnings last week, and both stocks appear to be gearing up for a possible recovery this week. They’re both slightly in the green here in the premarket this morning, and we’ll be looking for potential swing trade opportunities that might present themselves in coming weeks with Calls bearing a 05/29 expiration date.

On LinkedIn Corp. LNKD we’ll be monitoring the 05/29 $200-210 Call range. The longer period before expiration gives the stock some time to sustain a comeback off of recent lows.

For Twitter, Inc. TWTR we’ll actively monitor the 05/29 $38-42 Call range for similar opportunities.

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: ACGX News, RSHC, Options

Alliance Creative Group, Inc. ACGX

The first thing we want to point out this morning is the exclusive interview we conducted with ACGX executive Paul Sorkin on our sister site, StockTradersTalk.com. It will be available later today, and it gives an in-depth look into all of the exciting things going on with ACGX.

As noted in the corresponding PR below, to see the interview, simply navigate over to StockTradersTalk.com at noon. Don’t miss it! 

CHICAGO, IL–(Marketwired – February 09, 2015) – Alliance Creative Group, Inc. (http://www.AllianceCreativeGroup.com) (ACGX), a product development agency with a fully integrated customer engagement campaign platform, COO and General Counsel, Paul Sorkin, will be a featured guest in an interview today at 12pm EST.

An archived recorded version can be found on the homepage of Stock Traders Talk at http://www.stocktraderstalk.com/ following the interview.

RadioShack Corp. RSHCQ

Following its delisting from the NYSE last week, Radio Shack(formerly RSH) now trades OTC under the new symbol, RSHC(Q). Even amid the company’s financial woes, we had some success with RSH last year.

We’ll be looking at RSHCQ as it comes up off of a bottom of .09 reached on Thursday. The stock began to bounce and Friday, maintained support at the .12 mark. It came in conjunction with the news that 1,700 RadioShack stores were set to begin liquidation-style closing sales as part of a paring down of the company’s brick-and-mortar businesses.

What we’ll be looking for from here is for RSHCQ to register higher highs and higher lows to confirm the uptrend which began on Friday. Current resistance is sitting at .15, .35 and .41.

Options Trading

Twitter, Inc. TWTR
&
LinkedIn Corp. LNKD

We’ve made several great options calls in the last couple of weeks thanks in large part due to the predictable nature of trading action during earnings season.

On Friday, we noted our interest in TWTR $45 and LNKD $263 Calls- TWTR closed at  $48.01, and LNKD closed over $263.40, so anyone trading either set of contracts would have been able to walk away with substantial profits on the day as those strike prices were pushed deep into the money.

Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN

Back on January 30th, we were talking about some AMZN weekly calls, and in that same report we offered up a longer-term idea, specifically the 02/20 $350 Calls. It turned out to be an amazing idea, with those contracts going for as little as 5.58 that day, and running all the way up to $30 last week as AMZN has made its way to $370-range. That marked a move up of 438% inside of a week!
