Cleantech Transit, Inc. CLNO

CLNO has been a stellar gainer for us lately. We wanted to highlight the news out this morning, which alludes to the acquisition of three companies that have worked with CLNO in the past, and will now fall under the Cleantech umbrella.

While the stock continues to rise, we want to attach the same word of caution we issued on Friday: CLNO has been in a consistent uptrend for quite some time now. Like any monumental gainer, we always want to pay special attention, remaining open to further gains, all the while staying cognizant of the fact that a pullback could happen at any time. Trading with tight stops on plays such as this is highly recommended.

LAS VEGAS, NV – 07/01/2013 – In its ongoing efforts to advance its strategy of developing significant market share in the alternative clean energy sector, environmental commodities, and environmental finance, CleanTech Transit, Inc. (CLNO) today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Shamrock S Tree Products, LLC, Shamrock S Pollination, Inc., and Shamrock S Trucking, Inc.. (the “Shamrock Group”). The Shamrock Group has worked with Cleantech’s Discovery Carbon subsidiary for the past 2 years as a key affiliate.

It’s worth mentioning that despite recent gains of epic proportions, CLNO is still receiving a “100% Buy” Rating at BARCHART.COM.

Side Note:

At least one of the plays from the solar sector watchlist we highlighted on Thursday appears ready to start the week on a high note.

Specifically, CSIQ appears to be gapping up nicely. We’ve been talking about CSIQ since May 21st. Since that time, we’ve seen a low of 7.09. This morning the stock is trading pre-market at 11.71. That’s an increase of 65%

CLNO, SPY Options & Extended Watchlist

Cleantech Transit, Inc. CLNO

This is the stuff that penny-traders’ dreams are made of- CLNO has been an absolute powerhouse ever since we first alerted it at .0055. A mind-boggling 4972% (@ yesterday’s high) later, and we are still talking about this stock on nearly a daily basis.

Even for those of you who didn’t catch this one from the very beginning of our coverage are faring extremely well. If you just showed up to the party, from this week’s low of .10, yesterday’s .279 high represented a 179% move.

We want to congratulate anyone who has been able to make gains in any amount off of CLNO. Lately doing so has seemed like shooting fish in a barrel. We are currently in uncharted territory- every uptick we see from here is a new all-time high. As with any stock in blue sky breakout mode, we want to remain open to taking advantage of a continuance of the trend, while at the same time being on a sharp lookout for any course-corrective pullbacks, which are obviously common in such a situation.

Options Trading – SPY Calls

We’ve hit the nail on the head with every selection of SPY Calls we’ve made this week. In every instance there have been opportunities to make significant profits. Take yesterday’s report for instance. We stated that: “We are going to look at moving our strike price to $159-160, and possibly even $161 should yesterday’s trend continue.”

The $160 Calls, in the first hour of trading, went from 1.28-2.00 (+56%), then dipped as low as 1.35 before surging back to 1.82 (+35%), bringing us total intraday gains of up to 91%.

The $161 Calls went from .69-1.17 (+70%), and another move from .68-1.03 (+51%). In total that gave us a chance at gains of up to 121% intraday.

Since we’ve had so much success with SPY Calls this week, and have seen such a significant uptrend, we want to remain on alert. We could see a decrease in buying pressure in the overall markets as we head into a holiday week, which could lead to a reversal in the SPY. We would of course then be turning our focus to the $161 Puts.

Options Trading – SPY Calls 

This morning we are seeing a report that US initial jobless claims have fallen more than expected, in addition to personal income and spending being up. This could lead continued success with the SPY Calls that we have mentioned over the past few days. Since Tuesday, we’ve been looking at Calls in the $156-158 range, and those are now deep in the money, having afforded us chances at multi-bag gains. We are going to look at moving our strike price to $159-160, and possibly even $161 should yesterday’s trend continue.

When we see a spike in the SPY, we generally see a subsequent pullback, followed by a bounce. So what we want to look for, is for the SPY to settle to a low of day. From there, opportunities for a quick flip may be present.

We will send out a quick update this afternoon to highlight how these SPY Calls are faring.

Real Goods Solar, Inc. RSOL

RSOL had a solid session following our flagging of the stock in yesterday morning’s extended watchlist. It ran 17% from 2.50-2.92 on the strength of a positive press release, and perhaps gaining a boost from Obama’s announcement on Wednesday about reducing CO2 emmisions, most specifically those produced by the coal-fired power industry.
LOUISVILLE, Jun 26, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) — RGS Energy, the commercial and utility division of Real Goods Solar, Inc. (Nasdaq:RSOL), has been selected by St. Albans Solar Partners, LLC, to deploy a new 2.2 megawatt solar farm in Saint Albans, the largest PV system in Vermont.

RGS Energy will design, install, monitor and maintain the solar power system. Construction for the project is expected to begin next month and scheduled to be completed by November.

The fixed array ground mount solar system is expected to generate enough power to provide electricity for 400 homes. It also helps Vermont reach its goal of 20% renewable energy by 2017. Over the next 25 years, the solar energy produced is estimated to offset more than 123 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions or the equivalent to planting more than 1.4 million trees.

It might be a good idea to add several several solar stocks to a watchlist, in the event that the same effect is felt sector-wide.
