WD-40 Company WDFC – Options Update:  

As we close out this holiday-shortened week, we’ll start off by giving an update on the options idea we put forth in yesterday morning’s premarket report. We were looking at the WDFC 07/16 $250-270 Calls on the heels of the company’s earnings drop from the day prior.

The stock itself ran to nearly $280 before tapering back and that provided some very nice intraday gain opportunities for anyone who had caught our alert. Here are the intraday trading ranges and total possible gains on those targets:

WDFC 07/16 $250-270 Calls
$250: 20.32-26.15 (+29%)
$260: 7.81-16.67 (+113%)
$270: 4.31-8.18 (+90%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Cannabis Updates, Options & More

Cannabics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. CNBX

We began talking about CNBX earlier this month, mentioning it on the 5th and 6th, as part of our ongoing effort to remind our readers of the myriad opportunities there are, and will continue to be, in the cannabis space. We’re now less than two weeks away from an election that should dramatically alter the landscape of the marijuana business.

CNBX is among a number of pot-related plays that we’ve had on our running tracklist, and with the help of a really strong month overall, it has come all the way from our observed low of .06 on the day of our initial mention (10/05) to a new high yesterday of .377. That works out to an increase of 528% inside of three weeks.

It wasn’t the first time we’ve seen such a huge move out of a cannabis stock, and it certainly won’t be the last.


MyDx, Inc. MYDX

Speaking of the cannabis sector, MYDX is another constituent of that space that we’ve been tracking this month only to witness some excellent moves to the upside.

We entered MYDX into the mix on the 10th, and subsequently observed a low of .0225. Since then it’s been a fairly steady ramp-up and yesterday the stock achieved a new high of .0525. It represents a total PPS rise of 133%, which, like the above-mentioned play, occurred in a span of less than three weeks.

IceWEB, Inc. IWEB

IWEB indeed brought us those added gains we were talking about in our pre-market alert. After gapping up to open at .0341 the stock rumbled to as much as .042 in the first half hour of trading. For anyone keeping track (and we certainly are!) that marks an intraday gain opportunity of 23%

Counting from the price at the time of Monday’s IWEB alert (.027), today’s high represents a jump of 56%, and from our original alert at .023, an 83% increase. That first alert occurred on July 9th, and since that time IWEB has achieved cumulative gains totaling well over 200%

If we can continue to see the stock make higher lows, and find a level of support at .03 or better following this latest spike, we will be optimistic about our chance to see even more gains from IWEB in the future. So far the volatility of the stock has afforded savvy traders several chances to profit rapidly in a relatively short time frame, although we still have interest in IWEB in terms of the medium-to-long term as well.

The good folks over at BARCHART.COM seem to agree with us, as IWEB is currently receiving an Overall “Buy” Rating of 72%, and a Medium-Term rating of 100%


Opexa Therapeutics, Inc. OPXA

OPXA was included in this morning’s extended watchlist after it was revealed by our routine daily scan to be coming off of its 52-week lows. It looked ready to blow its lid, and we’re happy to have mentioned it, because that’s just what happened. After touching a low of 1.9982, the stock rocketed to a high of 3.70, marking an intraday gain opportunity of 85%

At the time of this publication, OPXA had already traded its highest volume in four years, to the tune of more than 14M shares. Congrats to anyone who was able to take advantage of this wave of liquidity.


VOIS, Inc. VOIS

This was another good pick from this morning’s extended watchlist. The stock enjoyed a 100% rip from .001-.002 on over 10X its 3mo. average volume.
