Blue Horseshoe: PHOT & Extended Watchlist

Growlife, Inc. PHOT

–
Many of our long-time subscribers know about our extensive marijuana-related stock coverage over the past year, but for those of you who are relatively new to our subscriber base, let us get you up to speed. PHOT was among a vast selection of marijuana stocks that we began tracking last October, and have followed continually since that time. Several follow-up reports would also include PHOT, as you can see with a quick tag search on our blog/newsletter archive.Over that time, we saw PHOT go from a little-known sub-penny stock, to a .12-cent hot-item stock in the portfolios of many people, including ourselves. We’ve prepared a video presentation of the PHOT chart illustrating exactly what it has achieved in the past year. Presently, we are monitoring the stock, and would like to see support hold in the .05-.06 range. The main areas of resistance with which it must contend are sitting at .08, .11 & .12.

We are bringing PHOT back into the conversation today, as the company has released some new press this morning that we wanted to share:

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., Oct. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — GrowLife, Inc. (OTCBB: PHOT), a diversified company operating in the legal cannabis industry including online and brick and mortar hydroponic stores, OEM grow equipment, commercial grow-op support, and media, is pleased to announce that the Company is expanding its products and services to include the GrowLife Infrastructure Funding & Technology program (GIFT) for select customers in Colorado and Washington. The program is expected to include several other states before the end of the fiscal year. >>>FULL STORY

Facebook, Inc. FB – Options
On Friday, we stated the possibility that we could “see FB return to the $50-level or higher, which would likely cause those (10/11 $49 Call) contracts to yield multi-bag gains.” While FB stock fell just short of that mark, touching a daily high of 49.87, the triple-digit profits we had anticipated did in fact come to fruition. Those Calls initially traded in a range from .35-.93, a 166% intraday move. Following that occurrence, they would pull all the way back to the .02-mark, before a late-afternoon surge brought them back to .14, another intraday move, this time good for the opportunity to rake in up to a 600% added profit.

Congratulations to anyone who was able to use those monstrous swings to their advantage.

American Community Development Group, Inc. ACYD

ACYD played out the dip-and-rip scenario that we anticipated yesterday to the letter. The stock pulled back to a low of .031, before recovering ground on up to .049, marking the chance at up to 58% in intraday gains.

The performance was solid enough to land us atop the Penny Stock Rumble as yesterday’s #1 Stock Pick.

We easily spotted the opportunity in ACYD yesterday, and we’re taking a similar view of the stock today. It is making higher highs and higher lows on significant volume, and we will remain interested as long as that trend continues. Keep in mind, trading with a tight stop-loss is the prudent course of action on a play like this, where the stock has already exhibited greater-than-average volatility.

Facebook, Inc. FB -Options
We saw a dip-and-rip from FB after a gap-up yesterday. The stock has been on the rebound this week, and we are looking for similar action today. In that event, we would expect the 10/11 $49 Calls to also undergo a dip-and-rip scenario. It seems a real possibility to see FB return to the $50-level or higher, which would likely cause those contracts to yield multi-bag gains. They closed at .54 yesterday, and are in the process of gapping up in pre-market trading this morning, putting us on alert for another potentially-fruitful session to close out the week.

Tower Group International, Ltd. TWGP

Earlier this week, we were looking for TWGP to make a dead-cat bounce as the stock was tanking. This morning the stock is gapping-up so we could now be witnessing what could be an opportunity-laden recovery. There is a large gap to fill on the chart to the 7.00-range. Covering even half of that gap would have us looking at sizable profits from current levels.

ACYD, PROP & Extended Watchlist

American Community Development Group, Inc. ACYD

ACYD appears on our radar today as a full-bore breakout play, having increased over 3800% in less than a month. In June we tagged this stock as one to watch, and then again on 09/23. This illustrates why it is of vital importance to stay tuned to not only our daily focal points, but our extended watchlists as well.

At this point, ACYD has burst into the stratosphere, making entry from these levels extremely risky, if not inadvisable. We are not in the business of chasing extreme runners like this one, so what we’re going to do is monitor this play for a pullback and subsequent bounce.

It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve reaped profits from a stock in the same situation, if you recall BRND as an example. Over the summer, we timed the pullback after a series of tweets by Dennis Rodman caused the stock to spike violently over a very short period. On the heels of a gain in excess of more than 700%, that play afforded us a chance at over 80% on the dip-and-rip from .0077-.014.

Propell Technologies Group, Inc. PROP
Another extended watchlist play, yesterday we placed PROP on watch after noticing it had broken its 50DMA in recent sessions. It turned in a solid intraday performance to the tune of 20%, having traded as low as .44 before hitting a high of .527, and closing strong at .52.

The next key resistance resides at .56, coinciding with the current 200DMA. Just a heads-up: Failure to breach that hurdle at .56 would likely give way to a pullback.

EWSI, CELGZ & Extended Watchlist

E-Waste Systems, Inc. EWSI

We talked about EWSI on Friday, at which time it was trading at a low of .043, and have monitored the stock throughout this week. Yesterday, we saw a high of .0519, marking a 21% move off of the bottom. We wanted to see EWSI hold above its 50DMA (.045), and it has thus far managed to do so. Looking forward, we’d like to see the stock continue to hold above that level.

The company had some news out yesterday regarding plans for the opening of the largest e-waste facility in India:

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, Oct 08, 2013 (Marketwired via COMTEX) — E-Waste Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: EWSI) (‘EWSI’ or the “Company”), an electronic waste management services, technology and reverse logistics company and the first public pure eWaste company, announced today that it has signed an MOU with Cerebra Integrated Technologies Limited (‘Cerebra’), a publicly traded company listed on both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). Cerebra, based in Bangalore, India is India’s leading total IT Solutions provider. The agreement calls for the creation, in Bangalore, of the largest E-Waste facility in India, using EWSI’s ePlant1000(TM) technology. The facility is expected to achieve at least 98% recovery of recyclable materials. An investment via a share exchange between the partners is also expected to form part of the relationship.

Celgene Corp. CELGZ
We were watching CELGZ yesterday due to abnormal pre-market activity, for the possibility of quick gains, and that’s just what we got. The stock, after touching a low of 1.39 rumbled upward to as much as 2.70, a 94% intraday gain. This came on roughly 33X the 3mo. average volume.

With that kind of momentum, it appears as if CELGZ’s success could spill over into today’s session, so we’ll want to keep this one high on our watchlists.

Atossa Genetics, Inc. ATOS

We tacked ATOS onto our extended watchlist yesterday morning, noting that the stock was in the midst of a “Huge gap down” and that we were “watching for a potential bounce”. Indeed that was the case, as the stock touched a low of 2.54 before a reversal carried it as high 3.18, a 25% intraday gain. As usual, when we see big gap-downs, we are looking out for quick-strike opportunities that allow us to make a rapid profit and a timely exit.We have uncovered a few other stocks fitting that profile that we will be monitoring for similar activity today:

Tower Group Intl. Ltd. TWGP

CEL-SCI Corp. CVM

Celgene Corp. CELGZ

Cell Therapeutics, Inc. CTIC
Another play from yesterday’s extended watchlist, CTIC opened at its low of day, and rumbled upward for a 23% move, closing at the high of day on nearly 12X its 3mo. average volume. In doing so, it managed to break a previous swing high at 1.80, a level we’d like to see hold as support moving forward.

We prepared the the following video chart on CTIC:

With the kind of momentum CTIC built up over the course of the day yesterday, this is one play that will be near the top of our watchlists in the near future. The catalyst here seems to be an agreement announced yesterday between the company and the FDA as outlined in the press release below.

SEATTLE, Oct. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (CTI) (NASDAQ and MTA: CTIC) today announced that the company reached agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) for the planned pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial, known as the PERSIST-2 trial, evaluating pacritinib compared to best available therapy, including approved JAK2 inhibitors such as ruxolitinib, in patients with myelofibrosis whose platelet counts are <100,000/uL. The SPA is a written agreement between CTI and the FDA regarding the design, endpoints and planned statistical analysis approach of the trial to be used in support of a potential New Drug Application (NDA) submission. The PERSIST-2 trial is the second of two planned Phase 3 clinical trials in patients with myelofibrosis. CTI expects to initiate the PERSIST-2 clinical trial in the fourth quarter of 2013. >>> FULL STORY

American Apparel, Inc. APP

APP is another stock we have tracked for an extended period of time. We have been watching this one to sniff out a bottom for the past few months, and wanted to re-enter it into the conversation today, as that point may be drawing near. A quick peek at the chart below clearly shows just that:
