Options Review, Fresh Ideas & More

Winning Options Recap:

We’re back and ready to get at it this morning as we kick off a fresh trading week. Friday was a rare occasion, perhaps only the third day in the last ten years that we were unable to put out a premarket newsletter, due to an untimely plumbing emergency at our editing office. We apologize for the absence, but we’re ready get cracking this week!

We’re going to start off by highlighting the gains achieved by a couple of our extended term options ideas from earlier last week. On Tuesday morning, we signaled interest in the BEKE 11/19 $17.50-20 Calls, and on Wednesday we alerted on the PYPL 12/10 $210-225 Calls. Both of those plays finished the week out with some impressive moves on the books.

Here are the trading ranges and total possible profits for those ideas: 

BEKE 11/19 $17.50-20 Calls
$17.50: 1.94-6.80 (+251%)
$20: .65-4.90 (+654%)
_____

PYPL 12/10 $210-225 Calls

$210: 4.00-7.80 (+95%)
$215: 2.88-5.76 (+100%)
$220: 2.05-4.21 (+105%)
$225: 1.45-3.20 (+121%)

ADXS Update

Adavaxis, Inc. ADXS

Today we want to zero back in on a stock that we presented to our readers just a few weeks ago in our report from the morning of December 16th. Just a couple sessions following that alert, the stock bounced at a low of .55, and has been trending up ever since.

After weeks of steady growth, this morning the stock is receiving a booster shot in the premarket, having touched a new high of 1.57. That goes down as an upswing of 185% inside of three weeks!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Ideas, ADTM & More

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options Ideas
It has been quite some time since we last looked in on the AAPL options chain, but we’re no strangers to the types of gains it affords. Just this past spring, we were able to track AAPL options to huge percentage gains.

Yesterday following market close AAPL earnings beat expectations by a mile, and as a result the stock is spiking significantly in premarket trading today. It may be possible to use this price action to our favor; we’d expect to see some early profit-taking lead to a familiar dip-and-rip scenario.

As the price rebounds we’ll be waiting with some potential options ideas. We’ll be monitoring Calls in the $113-117 range for potential intraday/intraweek flip opportunities.


Adaptive Medias, Inc. ADTM

We’ve had several recent opportunities with stocks rebounding off of their annual lows, and for that reason we’re going to tag ADTM this morning.

This stock’s 52-week low came on Monday, in the wake of the arrest of CEO Qayed Shareef on some very serious charges. The rebound off of those lows came yesterday as the company announced changes to its management structure following the immediate termination of Mr. Shareef. Acting COO Jim Waltz (Current CEO of Beanstock Media) has been unanimously supported by the board to assume the role of CEO.

We’ll look for ADTM to register higher lows and higher highs as it recovers off of its annual low. Prior to the disruption caused by the former CEO’s actions, the stock was trading in the 2.50-3.00 range; from current levels, a return to that area would mean gains in the neighborhood of 40-60%

 



Special Note:

We’ll also keep our eye on Vuzix Corp. VUZI. The stock appeared in our extended watchlist yesterday, and did make a modest increase during the session. This morning VUZI management will ceremoniously ring the opening bell to commemorate the company’s uplisting to the NASDAQ which begins today.

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — NASDAQ trading in “VUZI” to commence on January 28, 2015 Vuzix� Corporation (OTCQB: VUZI) (“Vuzix” or, the “Company”), a leading supplier of video eyewear and smart glasses products in the consumer, commercial and entertainment markets, announced today it has received approval from the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) for the listing of its common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Vuzix common stock will retain the ticker symbol “VUZI” and will commence trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on January 28, 2015.


Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FXCM Update & More


FXCM, Inc.  FXCM

We zeroed in on FXCM last Thursday morning and witnessed a big 41% run from 2.49-3.51. Following a pullback off of that high, the stock came down to rebound off of the 2.64-level on Friday, where we witnessed another 17% spike.

To start off the week FXCM continued to bounce yesterday, pulling back to 2.28, just below our initial alert price, and running back to 2.69, for an added gain of 18%

We’ll be on the lookout for any further opportunities provided by FXCM in the event that it continues to register ample swing-action such as what we’ve seen over the past few sessions.


Lentuo International, Inc.  LAS

LAS is hitting our scanner this morning as a potential bottom-bouncer. The stock has come down to rebound off of the

Last week, it was announced that the CEO and Chairman would be purchasing upwards of $1M worth of LAS stock on the open market inside of the next month, a good indicator of the executives’ long term outlook for the company.

We could be discovering this play at an opportune moment, coupling the recent PR with the stock’s current positioning on chart; we will make it a definite point of focus for us in coming sessions.

BEIJING, Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Lentuo International Inc. (LAS) (“Lentuo” or “the Company”), a leading non-state-owned automobile retailer headquartered in Beijing, today announced that members of its senior management team…will use their personal funds to purchase the Company’s American Depositary Shares on the open market for an aggregate amount up to a maximum of US$1.0 million >>FULL PR


AK Steel Holding Corp. AKS

We want to tag AKS this morning as another stock that is coming up off of a recently realized 52-week low. We’ve had plenty of good fortune come to us by way of this type of play in recent weeks, so we’ll want to devote a good bit of our attention to this stock as we head into mid-week.

The stock has traded as high as $10 as recently as September, and with a number of ripening indicators on the chart as shown below, AKS could be in store for some significant gains.

IWEB, STXS & Extended Watchlist

IceWEB, Inc. IWEB

IWEB provided us with a couple of chances for solid gains over the past three weeks, running from .024 to .0355, and then again from .023 to .04. Early on this week it has consolidated, and is currently holding support off of the 50DMA. What we’re looking for here, is for the stock to post higher lows and higher highs to signal to us that it is ready for a reversal.

In addition, the company continues its efforts to expand into a full-range cloud services provider, announcing yet another prestigious university that has chosen IWEB for its cloud computing needs. Read the PR below outlining the University of Southern California’s recent order:

STERLING, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– IceWEB Storage Corporation – (OTC BB:IWEB) today announced that the Company secured an order from the University of Southern California for up to 5,000 users.

“USC chose an IceWEB 2200 2U IceBOX storage appliance with 8TB capacity expandable to 48TB.” Said CEO Rob Howe, “The IceBOX solution meets their exacting requirements for a private cloud collaboration platform… This is another step along our path to our new strategic transition from hardware and software only to Complete Cloud Services.” >>> FULL RELEASE



Stereotaxis, Inc. STXS

In case you missed yesterday’s afternoon update, STXS, after appearing in our morning report, went on to yield potential gains pushing 200% in a monster run that ranged from 2.33 up to 6.90. This, on the strength of an FDA clearance for one of their flagship products (already a success in Europe), and along with it the go-ahead to introduce it into US markets.

Not only is fairly uncommon to see a double-bagger in a single session, but even more of a rarity when it comes in the form of a NASDAQ-listed stock, so a big congratulations to anyone who was able to take advantage of this anomaly.


Extended Watchlist:
MTOR, BEAT, VICL, VUZI (gapping down, potential bounce-play)

AACS, GRPR (two sub-pennies with momentum as of late)

NVIV has pulled back after recent run, monitoring for support to offer a re-entry
