Blue Horseshoe Stocks: DRL, PBR & More

Doral Financial Corp. DRL

One of our main interests from this week has been DRL, and this stock put forth a very solid session yesterday. After seeing lows of 6.81 in the morning, the stock broke out in the afternoon to 9.29. That was good for an intraday run of 36%

Some of you may recall our initial alert on DRL back on July 23rd, subsequent to which we would observe a low of 4.61. Yesterday’s high marked a 101% move up from that level, over a span of less than a month.

Congrats go out to everyone who was tracking DRL along with us, as it provided a plenty-big chance for all to profit.


Lucas Energy, Inc. LEI

LEI appeared for the first time in our reports yesterday, and performed pretty well for a first-time call. Right at the open we tracked LEI from its low at .52 and saw a rapid spike to .69, which marked a gain of 32% right off the bat.

Those who missed the opening move still had a chance for a 15% intraday flip as LEI came back to bounce off support at .55 and ran back to .63 just prior to closing.


Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR – Tracking Options

We’re still all over the PBR options chain (in fact it has appeared in our reports more than 40 times since March) but we don’t see why anyone would be getting sick of our coverage, as every single one of our recent ideas on this play has paid out in a big way.

Yesterday was no exception; let’s break down our pre-market calls and see how they fared. We mentioned the $16.50  and $17 Weekly Calls for a quick intraday flip opportunity, and traders would have been very pleased to play either set of contracts. The $16.50’s ran 45% in a range from .91-1.32, while the $17’s traded from .50 up to .83; a possible gain of up to 66%

The January $19 Calls that we radared as a longer term option made a small move as well, trading in a range from 1.43-1.58 (+10%)

Those of you who may not recall our week-to-week swing trade idea from last Friday, let us refresh your memory. We mentioned that a play on the 08/22 $15.50 Calls could be good for a swing trade into this week, and the reulsts have been nothing short of astonishing. The contracts saw a low of .38 on Friday, and yesterday, showed us a huge increase, touching 2.17 for total possible gains of up to 471% Cheers to anyone who took our idea with more than a grain of salt!


Side Note:

From yesterday’s extended watchlist, FOLD also had a pretty solid session as it ran steadily from 5.02 in the early morning, to 5.99 around midday. A modest yet comfortable gain of 19%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Bottom Bounceplay & More

Lucas Energy, Inc. LEI

We’re looking at LEI this morning as a possible bottom bounce play. The stock has been under general consolidation for the past couple of months, and is getting to a point where we want to begin monitoring for a recovery.

A glance at the chart below shows a few indicators ready to go bullish, and a stock that is trading very close to its 52-week lows. As you know, we’re always interested in stocks near their annual low points; the strategy has worked for us on countless occasions.

It appears LEI has a bit of resistance to contend with in the channel between .55 (July support level) and the 50DMA of .57, but beyond that, there isn’t a whole lot in the way of this thing testing previous highs in the .65-.70 range.

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR – Options Update

Our continual coverage of the PBR options chain has still yet to fail; if you recall, we were speculating on the 08/22 $15.50 and $16 Calls beginning on Friday, with the intent to execute a possible swing trade into this week. A move up that has PBR headed toward annual highs has facilitated quite the opportunity for us.

Those who were following along with our idea could have gotten in those $16’s at a low of .44 on Friday, and as of yesterday’s high of 1.28, the value of those contracts showed an overall  increase of 190% Not bad at all for a span of only three sessions.

We also observed some abnormally high volume in the January $19 Calls as they traded over 48K contracts. We’ll want to radar these Calls as well.

For another potential short-term play, we’ll also have an eye on the $16.50 and $17.00 Weekly Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FREE, DRL, BAA & More

FreeSeas, Inc. FREE

After we brought FREE to our readers in last Thursday’s report, the stock was trading as low as .675. It turned out to be a good bottom call for us, as we have now seen two consecutive days of higher lows, and yesterday FREE attained a high of .91 into the close.

That marked a two session move up of 35% and as the stock closed at the high of day, we’re going to want to monitor FREE for momentum carryover into today. We’ll also be looking for another session of higher lows and higher highs to signify that the uptrend remains on-track.


Doral Financial Corp. DRL

We’ve been tracking DRL since June 9th, (Trading at a low of 3.53) and in that span, we’ve seen some significant movement from this stock.

Last Thursday, in an update on DRL we mentioned that we’d pay careful attention to the stock “over the next handful of trading days.” That turned out to be a good idea, as we’d observe a low of 7.08 on Friday, and a subsequent high of 8.14 during yesterday’s session, a solid increase of 15%

Counting from the initial low we observed in DRL in June, yesterday’s high represented a gain of 130%



Banro Corp. BAA

We have a potential bottom-bounce play in BAA this morning. We caught this one on a routine scan and noticed how it has taken a huge dive over the past few weeks. After closing at .479 on 07/09, the stock came all the way down to close at .181 this past Friday.

The stock has begun to find support and bounce off of its base over the past couple of sessions, so we want to keep a close eye on BAA moving forward.
