Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Revisiting PSID

PositiveID Corp. PSID

We’ve got a lengthy history with this morning’s topic of discussion, PSID, which dates all the way back to 2013. Early this year, we tracked this play over an impressive range from .0572 to .125 over a short time period in late February to early March. That move gave us the chance to bag gains close to 120%

Recently, the chart has shown some rapid swings in the .03-.085 range, and after coming down to find support at .034 last week the stock is beginning to look like it’s in a good position to bounce again, but before we break down the PSID chart let’s recap what the company does.

For those who might not remember, PSID has hung its hat on a couple of key products:

M-BAND – PSID’s M-BAND Detector, in a nutshell, is a bio-aerosol device that uses cell lysis and nucleic acid purification to provide continuous analysis of air quality. The M-BAND screens for bacteria, viruses, and other bio-toxins.This pathogen detector has already been tested in the field. The company recently shipped several units to Maryland for continued testing to protect U.S. warfighters as part of The Joint United States Forces Korea Portal and Integrated Threat Recognition (JUPITR) program >>> Read PR

Firefly Dx – This is PSID’s point-of-care diagnostic tool still under development. It’s a portable handheld device capable of sample lysis, purification, PCR analysis in the field. The ultimate goal is to provide point-of-care diagnostics in 20 minutes or less with a device that could essentially fit in your pocket. Due to the nature of PSID‘s products, it’s not a surprise that the recent Ebola scare drove this stock to spike violently last month. In the time since then, we’ve learned that the company is working with U.S. Special Operations Command in hopes of continuing the development of the Firefly Dx system and bringing it into the realm of real-world use. >>> Read PR

TODAY’S NEWS:

This morning the company released both Quarterly and 9-Month financials, the highlights of which included reported revenue of $325,000 for the quarter ended 09/30/14, and $745,000 for the 9 months ended 09/30/14. PSID also increased its 2014/2015 revenue and backlog estimate to $3.6 million, and reiterated its revenue guidance of $4-10 million through the end of 2015 (2014 and 2015 combined) >> Read PR

CHART:

As we said earlier regarding the PSID chart, we can see a lot of potential in its current positioning. It’s coming off of support, with the RSI approaching the 50-line and a MACD that appears to be ready to undergo a bullish cross. We want to have PSID at the top of our watchlists as it has shown us its ability to make rapid gains on multiple occasions. Go ahead and check out the video presentation we prepared on the PSID chart below:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PSID, KNDI, PBR & Extended Watchlist

PositiveID Corp. PSID

The first thing we’d like to do this morning is go over how well PSID performed yesterday following our pre-market alert. Our timing proved to be spot-on in calling the bottom on this play, and after putting it on high alert in our report, we were rewarded with a couple of chances to gain over the course of the session.

The stock ran hard out of the starting gate, with trading opening up at .043 and rapidly reaching the day’s high at .064, a spike of 48% That was followed by a pullback to .049 where we got another upswing, this time to .058, a modest yet respectable intraday move of 18%

Those two significant swings combined for cumulative total gains of 66% on the day, and the stock managed to close at .057, holding on to much of the day’s forward progress. This all occurred on roughly 6x PSID’s 3-month average volume.

Congrats to anyone who was able to make PSID work for them, and be sure to stay tuned, as a performance like that could lead to a strong finish to the week.

Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. KNDI

This is a stock that we’ve been tracking for over a year now, as a quick look at KNDI’s archive on our blog will reveal. Our most recent tag of this stock came via Monday morning’s extended watchlist, and over the course of the week, it has yielded quite a nice move; We saw a low of 15.76 on Monday, and by yesterday’s session we observed a high of 20.96, an intraweek gain of 33%

Those who may have picked up on this play following our next most recent alert of this play (June 12th ) could have caught a low of 12.30. Yesterday’s high marked a 70% move up from that level.

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR

Our regulars are aware of how tenaciously we’ve covered PBR this year. On March 21st we added it to our watchlist as it was coming off of 10-year lows. Our observed low that day was 11.25, and the stock never looked back. We’ve traded primarily in the options chain of PBR and have made percentage gains in the thousands over the course of several months, but even the overall action on the stock itself has been impressive.

Yesterday’s session set a new high of 16.43 and in premarket trading today that has been pushed to more than $17, from the low we saw this spring, that’s an overall move of over 50% on the chart.

However, the swing action on this play over the past few months has been terrific, as we’ve pointed out on the following chart. As you can see, after our initial alert, there have been no less than three major swings. The current positioning breaks PBR out of the channel we illustrate below, signaling potential for further moves to the upside.

As far as the options chain is concerned, we’ll be looking for a pullback from profit taking on this major spike, and after that, we’re interested in the potential of the $16.50 and $17.00 Weekly Calls for an intraday flip opportunity today.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Special Report on PSID

Positive ID Corp. PSID

This morning we are going to revisit a play that brought us tremendous success earlier this year. Back in February, we tracked PSID over an impressive range from .0572 to .125, giving us the chance at close to 120% in gains. More recently, the stock has consolidated down to find support at .04, and we think the chart is beginning to look very ripe for a bounce. We’ll get to that in a minute, but first, for those of our readers that may not yet have been members this past winter, we’ll take a look at what Positive ID Corp actually does.

Essentially, PSID develops microfluidic systems for automated biological assays with applications ranging from homeland security and defense, to point-of-care biological sample analysis. In addition, each of these systems is being evaluated by some very high-profile entities:

M-BAND – PSID’s Microluidic Bio-Agent Autonomous Networked Detector is a fully-integrated bioaerosol monitor which performs multiplex assays using cell lysis and nucleic acid purification. It operates autonomously for up to 30 Days, providing continuous analysis of air samples and screening for bacteria, viruses, and toxins.

Firefly Dx – For point-of-care diagnosis, the FireFly Dx system is a portable handheld device capable of sample lysis, purification, PCR analysis and more, allowing for efficient field testing.

In March, PSID struck a contract with a large commercial partner to support a U.S. Department of Defense contract. The program will test and evaluate the M-BAND bio-threat detector for use by the U.S. military. PSID has announced that it expects to generate a sum of $841K in revenues from this contract in 2014.

More recently, in May, it was announced that PSID had signed a ‘Space Act Agreement’ with NASA’s Ames Research Center, under the terms of which NASA will assess Positive ID’s Firefly technology for potential ground and space applications, which we think is really cool!

There have also been a few other PR’s released over roughly the past month that warrant our attention, the links to which you can find below the following chart commentary:

The RSI is looking oversold, the MACD is gearing up to flip to the bullish side, and the chart is looking like it has tremendous potential as a bottom-play, with support having held off of a previously proven level at .04 for the past three sessions.

Due to this current positioning of the PSID Chart, and the nature of this morning’s press release, we are placing the stock on high alert today, and will want to pay extra attention to this play in coming sessions.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ACGX Update, PSID News

Alliance Creative Group, Inc. ACGX

ACGX has been under consolidation for the past few sessions, and we’re now turning our attention back to the stock, putting it on bottom watch to start this new trading week. We’ll definitely want to be around when finds support and begins to rebound, as we’ve already witnessed the rapid swing capability of this play.

If you recall, we were recently afforded the chance at gains of up to 100% when ACGX ran from .0055 to .0011, so even if we only saw a fraction of that movement, it could result in a significant percentage increase.

Below, we’ve pointed out the area of support that we’d like to see act as a base for the next swing cycle:

PositiveID Corp. PSID

PSID is another old favorite that we’re turning our attention to this morning after catching a fresh addition to the news feed. This is one PR that you’re probably going to want to read through, as it outlines an agreement the company has signed with NASA.

This won’t be the first high-profile association we’ve seen from PositiveID; the company has generated a lot of collaborative interest from government agencies with regard to its bio-detection technologies.

As far as the PSID chart is concerned, we’d like to see support continue to hold at .07, and are looking to see the 50DMA at .09 to be broken.

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., May 5, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PositiveID Corporation (“PositiveID” or “Company”) (PSID), a developer of biological detection and diagnostics solutions, announced today that it has signed a Space Act Agreement with NASA’s Ames Research Center to collaborate on testing the Company’s Firefly Dx detection system (“Firefly”) as a platform for biological research and commercial development for ground and space applications. >> FULL PR

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

Last Tuesday, we pointed out our interest in the PBR, specifically with regard to the options chain. We stated that we would be “monitoring the $13.50 and $14 Weekly Calls throughout the rest of the week for potential dip-and-rip opportunities.”, and that’s exactly what we got.

As you can see from the screen capture below taken Friday afternoon, the $13.50 Calls ran from a low of roughly .30 on Thursday, and tested highs over 1.10 heading into Friday’s close. The $14’s observed a similar pattern, but with much more significant results, running 1575% from .04 to .67:

Congratulations are in order for anyone who caught these calls, which are just the latest in a long line of opportunities. PBR has performed well for us on multiple occasions since our very first mention (03/21), and we’ll continue to look to it for further chances to profit. Presently, 14.87 is the next key area of resistance that we’re looking to see broken on the chart.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: State of the Cannabis Sector

State of the Cannabis Sector

Shockwaves rippled through the burgeoning cannabis sector yesterday, as the SEC imposed a halt on the trading of PHOT stock (effective through Apr. 24th). Being such a major player in this fledgling market space, the sanction on PHOT caused pot stocks across the board to register losses on the day. Coupled with the general backsliding of the overall markets, many of the pot stocks that we’ve been tracking ended in the red, however our overall feelings toward the sector have not changed.

This was not the first halt of a cannabis stock, with CANN having just resumed trading after its own halt just a few weeks ago. With the free-for-all that was taking place earlier this year at the height of the “Green Rush”, it is unsurprising that some have used the opportunity to take advantage, and only natural that the SEC would tend to these cases in such a manner.

The fact remains that many states have pending marijuana legislation on the docket for 2014, so we can be certain that we are only at the beginning of the story. Just look at the following map of the current state of marijuana law in the US:

As a whole, the progress that legalization proponents have made over just the past couple of years has been nothing short of astounding. In government, nothing happens overnight; it takes time to change laws, and the pace at which marijuana reform is occurring is impressive.

Bumps in the road like the PHOT halt (and others which are bound to occur) are to be expected, and in fact, makes the need for us to keep our fingers on the pulse of the cannabis space that much more vital. General pullbacks caused by fear and panic like the one we observed yesterday can often be used to acquire cheap stock, which in many cases will yield future opportunities.

AV1 Group, Inc. AVOP

One exception to the overall trend yesterday, was a recent successful marijuana-related call of ours, in AVOP. If you recall, when we brought this play to the table on Tuesday, the stock ran from a low of .0006 to .0015, gaining 150%

The following day, AVOP pushed to a high of .0018, moving our total possible gains on the stock up to 200% before coming down to find support in the .0012-.0014 range, which it held yesterday, despite pullbacks occurring all around the space.
