Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Reviewing Yesterday’s Winners & More

Axion Power International, Inc. AXPW

AXPW ensured that we started off the week with a bang yesterday with a monumental single-session performance. We placed it in our morning report after a routine scan showed some abnormally high premarket volume, and it essentially spent the entire day bulling its way to new highs.

From an early low of .0421 the stock would ultimately reach a share price of .159 just prior to the close. That worked out to an intraday rip totaling 277% on record volume.

AXPW closed just two ticks below its high-of-day at .157, and with this kind of frenzied momentum, we’ll be certain to follow the activity as things kick off today.

The stock has traded as high as .2601 in this morning’s premarket, extending the total move we’ve seen in a 24-hour period to 518% There’s a very good chance that the run-up will catalyze significant profit-taking, which will ultimately lead to an opportunity for us to time the bottom, and play the rebound.

Huge congratulations go out to any of our readers who were able profit from AXPW as a result of our premarket alert!

Indo Global Exchanges Pte Ltd. IGEX

IGEX was another stock from yesterday’s new watchlist that also did extremely well, becoming the second multi-bag gainer before the day was through . We referred to it as a “super-sub-penny momentum play”, and the momentum certainly was sustained throughout the day.

From its daily low of .0006, the stock barreled its way up to close at its high-of-day at .0013; an intraday run of 116% which occurred on volume that approached 10X the monthly average.

Like the aforementioned play, we’ll remain vigilant for the possibility of continued momentum and/or a subsequent dip-and-rip scenario of which we can take advantage.

Amedica Corp. AMDA was the other notable intraday gainer from yesterday’s newsletter. AMDA made a strong move from .40 to .497, which represents an increase of 24%

FreeSeas, Inc. FREE

This stock is an old favorite that we’ve tracked to some very nice gains in the past. We want to draw attention back to it this morning as it is beginning to show signs of life after a months-long consolidation beat the stock back to new 52-week lows. We always like to monitor stocks coming off of annual low-points; very often they lead to excellent chances on the rebound.

The stock ran hard into the close yesterday on extremely heavy volume, so we’re going to we’re going to tag FREE as a momentum/recovery play, and watch it intently as we head into mid-week. .

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ARNA Recap & More

Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ARNA

You have to go a long way back to find our very first coverage of ARNA. It was May 11th, 2012 that we first mentioned this stock as an item to have on long-term watch. At that time the company had an obesity treatment that was awaiting FDA approval.

The public sentiment during that summer was that FDA approval was all but in the bag, and as we waited the stock began a monstrous run from a low of 5.44 to the day of its approval when it hit 13.50, an overall increase of 148% It would be a very long time before we talked about ARNA again.

The next time was fairly recently on November 3rd when we included ARNA on our Extended Watchlist, and over a period of a few sessions, saw the stock make a decent move from a low of 4.12 to 4.76. After that, it endured a series of incremental pullbacks over the next several weeks.

Yesterday morning, in a stroke of superb timing we tagged the stock in our watchlist once again, and what it did next blew the run we witnessed in November right out of the water!  Coinciding with the announcement of positive top-line results on another of the company’s treatments (this one for autoimmune disease) ARNA made a huge intraday run from a low of 3.66 to all the way up to 6.09. That’s a hefty 66% increase in a single session, and it came on approximately 20X the 3-month average volume, so cheers are in order for anyone who took advantage of our timely alert!

Heritage Media Corp. HMCP

Since we mentioned HMCP for the first time on New Year’s Eve, the stock has provided us with a few quality swing-trade opportunities. That day the stock traded in a range from .0047 to .0068, an intraday gain of 45% In following sessions we then observed subsequent swings from .0037-.0064 (+73%) and .0034-.0062 (+82%) making HMCP a flipper’s dream.

As we point out on the snapshot below, what has formed on the chart is known as a bullish flag, which is known to be a signal of further gains. Couple that with an RSI that’s screaming toward the power zone, and it makes HMCP one that we’ll really need to watch closely as we head into week’s end.

ASUV, TFER & Extended Watchlist

Harmonic Energy, Inc. ASUV

ASUV opened up at .055 yesterday, and steadily climbed all day, following alerts from us on the stock both yesterday morning and afternoon. ASUV ran as high as .109, marking a fantastic 98% gain on its second-highest volume day ever. Perfect timing on the recent bottom is what made it all possible.

One of the other reasons we like the setup on ASUV so much, is the tight share structure- 100M Authorized, 63M Outstanding, as well as the fact that the company has only $437K in total liabilities.

We are on the lookout for a possible gap up this morning after yesterday afternoon’s strong performance. As you can see on the  video chart we posted below on ASUV, the RSI is still coming off of being oversold. There is still much room for recovery, as we feel yesterday could be just day one in a turnaround that could continue to yield substantial gains.

Titan Iron Ore Corp. TFER

Much like ASUV, TFER is coming off of its 52-week low, and as you all know, this is one of our favorite occurrences in the trading world. Recovery plays are our bread and butter, so its nice to have not one, but two plays that fit the description.

Yesterday, the stock posted a strong rally, making a 30% and closing near the high of day. In recent months TFER has struggled to punch through the 20DMA at .12. Ideally, we’d like to see a break past, and the PPS to hold above that point, in order to confirm a sustained uptrend.

We also included TFER in today’s joint video chart, pointing out that the PPO is pinching, so we’re looking for a cross there, and the RSI is on the cusp of breaking its 50DMA.
