PROP, FU, GOGO, AAPL & Extended Watchlist

Propell Technologies Group, Inc. PROP

–
Last Wednesday, we began taking a look at PROP. On Thursday, we mentioned that the stock had a hurdle at the 200DMA of .56 to contend with, and if it failed to break that resistance, we would likely see a pullback. The stock did indeed test that .56-mark, but could not break through to the next level, rendering our prediction accurate. From Wednesday’s low of .44 to yesterday’s high of .57 marks a 30% increase.

We’d like to see PROP hold support above .45 moving forward, and are anxious to hear more news from the company in the future regarding its oil production status. News out on Monday pointed to the company’s proprietary “plasma pulse” treatment increasing the production of one of the company’s oil wells by a significant margin.

HOUSTON, Texas, Oct 14, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) — via PRWEB – Propell Technologies is pleased to report 6-month results from the first well that was treated with the company’s proprietary plasma pulse technology in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area.
Cottonwood #9-11 located in Creek County, Oklahoma was drilled to a depth of 2667 feet in December 1967 in the Redfork Sandstone formation with initial production of 35 barrels of oil per day (BOPD). For the several years prior to treatment the well had been approximately a one or two BOPD producer.

The plasma pulse treatment was performed on March 28, 2013. Immediately before treatment the well was barrel tested showing 1.4 barrels of oil per day. Thirty days after the plasma pulse treatment, a barrel test showed Cottonwood #9-11’s production had jumped to 5.5 BOPD where it had held fairly steady with a substantial increase in production.

On October 4, 2013, six months after treatment the well was barrel tested showing a rate of eight (8) BOPD, an increase of 408%. The well was barrel tested again on October 10, 2013 and showed an even higher rate.

Currently BARCHART.COM is giving PROP an 80% “Buy” Rating on Short-Term Indicators.

Fab Universal Corp. FU
After providing us with a 28% intraday gain on Monday, FU did actually manage to continue piling on gains Tuesday, before closing out the session slightly in the red. The stock touched 7.83 for a time, which marks an increase of 43% off of the 5.46 bottom we observed on Monday.

This week’s run comes on the heels of a previous consolidation, which resulted from a run spanning a period of a few weeks which took the stock from the $4-range up to 11.48. On the current consolidation, we’d like to see support hold at or above the 50DMA (5.34).

Gogo, Inc. GOGO

GOGO, like FU, is another stock that recently made a significant surge, and is currently in pullback mode. This is an instance where monitoring for a bounce off of the eventual bottom can provide us with the opportunity to make hefty gains on the rebound. The stock has been hunkering down, and building a solid base at the $16-range. Below that we have support at 14.05 (50DMA), and above, resistance sitting at the 20DMA of 17.27.

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Big News

Yesterday, Apple made the announcement that it would be enlisting the help of Burberry’s CEO, Angela Ahrendts, as head of retail operations. This is a development that we will be following closely. Ahrendts is responsible for increasing Burberry’s sales by more than 100% since 2006. This development could mean a serious boost for AAPL over the long term.
Not only does the hiring end a year-long search for a new head of retail operations, but it marks the first time a woman has served on the AAPL Board of Directors.

In other news, Apple earnings are expected on Monday, October 28th, so on the options-trading side of things, we are beginning to monitor the 11/01 $505 & $510 Calls.

AAPL, CTXV & Extended Watchlist

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options
Apple surpassed the $490-mark yesterday, as we suggested it might in Friday’s newsletter. Impressive iPhone sales seem to be the catalyst here as the stock gapped up yesterday and saw a daily high of 496.91, revealing the $480-$485 Calls that we were monitoring as multi-bag gainers.

To determine our next course of action, we are going to want to watch AAPL’s attitude closely; resistance at this point appears at $498 & $500. Failure to breach those levels could result in a consolidation for which we need to be prepared.

CTX Virtual Technologies, Inc. CTXV

We have CTXV on our long-term watchlist, and while the stock is fairly illiquid at this point in time, we like the idea and business plan behind this one enough to monitor its situation going forward.

CTX manufactures a variety of mobile communication technology including basic Cell Phones, PDA’s, Smartphone’s, Printed Circuit Boards and the worlds smallest fully-functioning PC, the MISEETX. CTX also manufactures and distributes it’s proprietary 3D electronic perception technology for interactive virtual computer keyboards.

In addition to logging almost $50M in net sales for the last reporting period, the company recently received the go-ahead from BlackBerry to begin using the BlackBerry compatible logo on their VK 200 Keyfob(TM) input devices.

FB, AAPL Options, GOGO & Extended Watchlist

Facebook, Inc. FB – Options

On Wednesday, some of you may recall our interest in FB calls, as we stated “if the stock can break the $46 barrier… we’d be looking at in-the-money Calls like the 09/21 $45.50′s.” As you can see on the included chart, after seeing a low of .10, those contracts would go on to trade as high as .85 during yesterday’s session. That move was good for overnight gains in excess of 750%

With FB gapping up this morning and hitting new 52-week highs, we are going to want to continue giving our attention to the Calls. Of course, in the event that we see a reversal off of these substantial gains, we are going to be on the lookout for a dip-and-rip scenario, which could bring us even further gains with a properly timed bottom.

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options

We’re also seeing a gap up in AAPL which is coinciding with the release of the latest versions of the iPhone 5(S/C), and with a sizable gap to fill on the chart, we could actually see AAPL go to $490 today. If it did approach that level, we’d be interested in the $480-485 Calls, which could provide us multi-bag gains.

Other than flipping the weekly Calls intraday, we might also want to consider contracts with later expiration dates if it appears AAPL is gaining a head of steam that would carry over into next week.

Gogo, Inc. GOGO

We first mentioned GOGO on Monday, and at the time the stock was trading as low as 14.79. Currently we are seeing the stock trading at 18.15 pre-market, (a gain of 23%) so this is another play that will be grabbing our attention today. For a big-board stock in this price range to see a gain of that magnitude inside of a week is nothing short of remarkable.

Gogo actually has an intriguing technology for providing super-standard Wi-Fi internet connections to airline passengers with in-flight data delivery speeds of up to 60Mbps. With the company just having announced that they will be bringing their products to North America in 2014 pending FAA approval, this is definitely a stock that we are going to want to put on our long-term watchlist, as we see how its story plays out.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FB & AAPL Options, INO, NOK, ZQK

Facebook FB OptionsThe FB 09/13 $41 Calls first appeared in our reports on September 4th, as we stated: “…if FB can breakout to $45 by next Friday, we could be looking at multi-bag gains from these contracts.” While we fell just shy of our target by .39 at Friday’s high of 44.61, the price action on those calls was still enough to provide us with those multi-bag gains with a whole trading week still remaining until expiration! So far, from their low following our 09/04 alert at 1.29, we saw a subsequent push to 3.80, good for a gain of 251% over a period of just a couple of days.

We’re going to remain bullish on these $41 Calls as we head into Friday’s expiration, as we think the chances are fair that FB as a whole remains on a general uptrend. It could lead us to move up on our strike price and contract duration as well. The 09/21 $45 Calls closed at .82 on Friday, and if Facebook does continue its upward momentum, those are likely to be the next contracts that will catch our interest.

Apple (AAPL) Options

There has been much speculation surrounding the possible focus of Apple’s big event tomorrow, which is widely believed to be an unveiling of the new iPhone 5S, although there have been no confirmations. Whenever a situation like this comes along, we always try to stay ready to advantage wherever possible. The public’s reaction to tomorrow’s event will determine our reaction in playing the Apple options chain. A successful reception and subsequent rise in PPS would obviously draw our attention to the Calls, while a disappointing result would force us to look at the Puts.

Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. INO

We’ve been hot on the trail of INO since the beginning of July, when the stock was trading below a dollar (.7953 at its low). Within a month of that, by early August the stock had hit 3.03, which represented a move of 281%

We reminded everyone on August 23rd that we were observing higher highs and higher lows after the subsequent consolidation ( to a low of 1.60). Then on Friday, sent another reminder that INO was beginning to bounce back. We then saw a run back to 2.45, which marked a gain of 53%

This morning, the stock hit a high of 2.85 in pre-market trading, and trades are currently going off in the low 2.70’s.

Nokia Corp. NOK

Another stock that has done extremely well for us over an extended period is Nokia (NOK), especially recently, as its shares price ballooned on news that Microsoft had acquired its devices division as well as licensing rights to several of its patents. We’ve been following this stock for over a year now, and in that time we’ve seen a low of 1.91 run all the way up to recent highs in the high 5.50’s, a move of over 190%

Quiksilver, Inc. ZQKZQK appeared in Friday’s extended watchlist following release of an earnings report. After establishing a low at 5.99, the stock ran as high as 7.09, granting us the chance at an 18% intraday gain.

IWEB, BBRY & Extended Watchlist

IceWEB Inc. IWEB

We’ve been covering IWEB for over a month now, and during that time the company has retained several new clients, as well as racking up more than 200% in cumulative gains.

The company has remained very active with regard to reporting on those clients and keeping its shareholder base well-informed of current events. Today was no different as IWEB announced that it has been selected by a major cloud services company to provide it with IceWEB’s award-winning IceSTORM storage devices, indicated in the PR below:

We also made a quick video of the current IWEB chart for your convenience:
