Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Revisiting APP & More

American Apparel Inc. APP

This fall, for the first time in a long time, APP failed to see the increases that have coincided with the beginning of the retail season in recent years. Instead, here we are nearing the end of the heaviest shopping days of the year, and the stock is just now beginning to show signs of life.

CEO Dov Charney, thought by many to be one of the worst CEO’s on Wall Street, has been fired by the board of directors per a PR released this morning. His official dismissal amid allegations of misconduct is sitting well with investors, with the stock trading up significantly in premarket activity. We’ll be interested to follow APP more closely as the reigns are handed over to Paula Schneider on January 5th, and if she can turn APP back in a positive direction as the new CEO. >> Read About Charney’s Firing

Looking at the chart, the last time APP was trading as low as it has been in recent weeks was early this summer, just before the stock ran to over 1.20. We’ve covered APP for many years and have witnessed numerous big runs, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see a extended recovery off of these 6-month lows, if the stock can get over the hurdle that is the current 200DMA (.74). Beyond that, APP will have to contend with resistance points at .77, .85, and 1.09.

InterCloud Systems, Inc. ICLD

During this time of the year when tax-loss selling drives many stocks down to annual lows, we’re always on the lookout for a good bottom-bounce play. ICLD may fit that description. The stock touched 52-week low of 2.77 yesterday, and is currently trending up in the premarket.

The company released a PR this morning announcing that its new business backlog was at record highs, ($32M) according to CEO Mark Munro, “This is a tribute to our growing sales organization and a competitive edge in our markets. InterCloud’s sales pipeline continues to grow month over month offering great upside as we move into 2015.” >>READ PR

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: APP, Social Media Updates & More

American Apparel, Inc. APP

As tends to happen each year, we’ve honed back in on APP at an opportune time. After seeing a low of .51 as recently as June 24th, this past Thursday saw this stock push past the dollar-mark. After another solid session on Friday wherein the stock reached as high as a 1.20, it appears as if APP wants to gap up once again this morning, touching 1.27 in pre-market trading. At that price, we’ve seen an overall move of 149% from this play in just three weeks.

There’s a chance that we could see a slight consolidation to fill the gap on the chart left on Friday (1.05-1.08) in which case we’d need to see APP hold support at or above the 1.05-mark. The chart still appears ripe, however, so it will interesting to see how this play kicks off a new trading week.

Twitter, Inc. TWTR
& Facebook, Inc. FB

Social media giants TWTR and FB began to heat up last week, as anticipation of upcoming earning releases has ramped up, and both stocks seem to be gapping up in early trading this morning. We’ve done very well for ourselves trading options contracts on each of these plays, and will be looking for more of the same as these current uptrends play out.

As far as TWTR is concerned, the next key resistance is sitting at 42.50, and our current scope of interest in Call options rests in the $39-$41 range. Should TWTR gain further ground as trading opens up for the week, those contracts could see an appreciable rise in value in just a short time. (Earnings Release Date: 07/29)

FB’s key area of resistance is around 68.50, and we’re interested in Calls at the $67-69 level. FB earnings will come sooner that TWTR’s by almost a week, with the announcement just 9 days away, so we’ll really want to keep a close eye on the action here. (Earnings Release Date: 07/23)

Solar Wind Energy Tower, Inc. SWET

SWET first appeared in our reports on June 13th, at which time we designated it a stock that was due for a pop, and that’s exactly what we got out of it. The stock rushed upward from our observed low of .0185 to hit .032 (+73%) a week ago. After a slight consolidation and finding of support at .0226, the stock has begun to inch up toward the .03-mark once again. To get there, we’ll need to see a break of resistance at Friday’s swing high of .0291.

This morning’s news could be of help, with the announcement of up to $100M in additional funding hitting press wires:

Solar Wind Energy Tower, Inc. Agrees to Accept up to $100 Million Additional Financing from Arizona Alternative Energy Center, LLC for San Luis, Arizona Tower

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: The Week in Review

Looking Back on a Stellar Week

We couldn’t have asked for a better week of winning picks, especially coming off of a holiday weekend, so to wrap things up we’re going to go over all of our successful picks, and what kinds of moves they made.

GEI Global Energy Corp. GEIG

Of course the big winner for this week was GEIG, and in fact was one of our most successful picks in quite some time. We initiated coverage of GEIG on Wednesday, the stock opened up and saw a low of .0098 very briefly before exploding to a high of .08, a single-session move of 716% While it’s unlikely that traders could have picked up any of those sub-penny shares, the real action began around .015, still leaving the opportunity at a high number, with gains of up to 433% being very possible. The stock traded record volume.

Camtek, Ltd. CAMT

CAMT came off of Monday’s extended watchlist to perform exceptionally well for us, running from a low of 3.42 to 5.14, a solid 50% gainer on more than 40x its 3-month average volume.

GW Pharmaceuticals, Inc. GWPH

On Tuesday, we were talking about GWPH, stating: “Once we see a solid level of support established and GWPH begins to rebound, then we’ll be able to adjust our options-trading strategies accordingly.” Sure enough, the stock did indeed find solid support at 85.32. We would subsequently see an uptrend carry GWPH as high as 93.97. As a result, the $85 Weekly Calls traded in an impressive range from 4.30 to 9.60, a total possible gain of 123% while the $90 Calls made an even more impressive move. They would run from 1.55-5.69, giving traders a chance at profits up to 267% We’ll continue to watch those weekly contracts today for a possible intraday flip opportunity.

American Apparel, Inc. APP

This spring, we started reminding people that as the retail season approaches, APP is a stock that we traditionally play for nice gains every year. 2014 has proven no different. We saw a low of .51
out of APP on June 24th, and the stock has made more than a 100% move up, touching 1.05 during yesterday’s session. The retail season has yet to even kick into gear, and already we’ve been able to reap some excellent rewards from this retail stock; it will certainly remain on our watchlist as the summer begins to wind down.

Inception Mining, Inc. IMII

We first added IMII to our lists yesterday as a long term-mining play. We wanted the stock to hold support off of the 200DMA, and break resistance at the 50DMA, and that’s just what we got. The stock has made higher lows and higher highs over the past couple of sessions, so it appears we’re off to a great start with this one. On the chart, the RSI cracked above the 50-line, and the MACD is still heading for a bullish cross, so we’re still very interested to see what this play could do in the days and weeks ahead.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: EAPH, PMCM & More

Easton Pharmaceuticals, Inc. EAPH

–

EAPH fared very well on Thursday following our re-alert of the stock, providing us with the chance for solid gains before we broke for the long holiday weekend. We mentioned that we liked the potential, especially if it could break its key resistance at .021.

In fact, EAPH broke through that resistance and kept on running, to a high of .031 before all was said and done. From the day’s low of .0197, that marked an intraday move good for up to 57% in quick-strike profits for nimble traders.

Take a look at the following video for chart commentary on EAPH:

Moving forward, we’ll want to see EAPH hold support at or above .021 in order to keep us interested.

Primco Management, Inc. PMCM

PMCM is another of last week’s alerts to perform well for us during Thursday’s half-session. We brought readers an update on this repeat pick on Tuesday, at which time the stock was trading at a low of .0021.

The stock made higher lows for the remainder of the short week, and touched .0031 on high volume on Thursday, which marked an intraweek move of 46%

As we begin another week, we’d like to see PMCM hold support above the 50DMA of .0021. The next key areas of resistance to watch for a break will be .0037 and .0045.

PMCM, like EAPH, is a cannabis-related play, and as we’ve been consistently reminding our readers, the sector could very well be in for a boost on the heels of the beginning of legal sales in Washington State, and already we’ve begun to see quite a bit of evidence to support that theory. By the end of the week an expected 20 or so shops will have received their recreational marijuana licenses and begun selling the plant.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: EAPH Updates & More

Easton Pharmaceuticals, Inc. EAPH

As we wrap up this short trading week, we thought we’d touch upon EAPH, a stock that has done big things for us this year. Some of our readers may recall our very first tag of this play back in January, around which time we observed the stock trading at a subpenny low of .0041.

By early February, less than a month later, EAPH shot up to a high of .0989 (+2300%) easily making it one of our top ten calls so far in 2014.

Since that huge run, there have been quite a few swings to follow, but the overall trend was toward consolidation, which over the past few months brought EAPH back to Earth. The stock bounced off of a low of .011 on 06/25, and over the past several sessions, has begun to recover some ground. Yesterday in particular brought EAPH close to the .02-mark, falling just shy with a high-of-day of .0197.

We’ll be paying closer attention to EAPH in sessions to come now that it has bounced off of support and is attempting to make up some of the ground lost in recent months. Key resistance is around the .021 level.

It’s just one of the marijuana-relatedstocks that began to feel a surge of life this week, as we suggested might happen in Tuesday morning’s report. Washington State’s legal sales will effectively begin next week, when the Liquor Control Board expects to issue the first retail licenses.

American Apparel, Inc. APP

APP, a stock that we have turned to for reliable profits year after year, has done exactly as we suggested when we brought it back to our reports on April 15th, noting that we were heading into the time of year when APP traditionally provides well for us; the stock was trading at a low of .47 around that time.

APP ran to more than .70 later that month, began to taper back into the .50-range and recently, on June 27th, the stock surged to hit a high of a dollar even, marking an overall move of 112%

As the stock consolidates off of that major spike, we will be watching for support, and the chance for possible bounceplay opportunities. The previous resistance area from .78-.82 is where we’ll be looking for support to hold. As the holiday retail season approaches, we will keep a continuous watch over APP.
