Blue Horseshoe Stocks: VSTM, KTOV Recaps & More

Verastem, Inc. VSTM

With impressive new highs being printed yesterday we thought it was a good time to swing back around and recap the recent progress of a stock we’ve been tracking since early this spring. A quick look at the VSTM tag in our archives reveals that we began tracking this play with a mention in our premarket report on March 24th at which time the stock saw a low of 1.59 and never went any lower. That was followed by another reminder just a few weeks ago when the stock was trading in the 2.10’s.

Despite the usual fluctuations, the stock has been in an ascending wedge pattern on the chart from our initial highlight, generally trading in an upward direction and yesterday, hit new highs of 3.75. From our observed low of 1.59 that works out to a total increase of 142%  For those who may have only caught the most recent mention, gains of up to 95% were still attainable as of yesterday’s new high.



Kitov Pharmaceutical Holdings, Inc. KTOV

We included KTOV in yesterday morning’s premarket report after picking it up on our routine morning scan. The stock responded with a very nice daily performance.

From a low of 1.80 it ripped 100% to 2.70 for a perfect double-bagger, and it did so on extreme high volume on the order of 155X the monthly average. With that kind of price action and liquidity, we’ll be certain to keep close tabs on KTOV as we close out this holiday-shortened week.


ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (SVXY) – Options Idea

After some positive jobs numbers went out this morning, we want to signal a range of options in the SVXY, which is one of the funds we use as a market analog. A bullish session for the markets as a whole could spell some nice gain opportunities in the SVXY Weekly $152-154 Calls*.

*We don’t include mentions of weekly options contracts on a Friday without explicitly warning our readers every time. Trading weekly options at the end of the week is a highly risky proposition that should never be attempted by beginning or novice traders!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MMEX Keeps Rolling & More

MMEX Resources Corp. MMEX

We’re looping back for yet another update on MMEX, which we’ve been mentioning quite a bit after our March 22nd alert gave us the chance to get in at a low of .0046; the stock has since gone on an exponential tear that hasn’t slowed down a bit over the past few sessions.

By our update on Friday morning, the stock had made it to just below .017, and that’s when things really took off, with the past couple of sessions providing the most intense spikes yet.

Yesterday that culminated in a new high with a solid 96% daily run from .028-.055. That brings our total observed range on MMEX in just nine trading days, to 1096%


Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. CYCC

We highlighted CYCC as a potential bottom-play in Friday morning’s premarket report, pointing out that it was giving off a strong double-bottom signal along with having previously demonstrated potential for volatility. We turned out to be spot on with our calling the stock a prime bottom-play, as it has produced a very impressive two-day upswing since then, with the help of the release of some intriguing study data (>>View News).

Our observed range on CYCC since Friday morning is from 3.39 to 6.59, representing a 94% move, while volume yesterday absolutely exploded to the tune of more than 112X its 30-day average volume! It also closed near the high of day so we’re definitely going to want to continue tracking it as the week progresses. Dip-and-rip scenarios could certainly come into play in such a situation.

Added Notes:

While we’re on the subject of bottom-plays, we want to add a couple more to our radar this morning with Atossa Genetics, Inc. ATOS and Argos Therapeutics, Inc. ARGS.  ATOS still appears to be searching for its bottom, so we’ll  be watching for that, while ARGS has already begun to get a leg up. We’ll look for a continuation of the establishing trend on that one.


Special Reminder:

We have a new pick coming out tomorrow morning that we’re excited to share with our readers. It operates in the rapidly burgeoning mobile payment processing sector, which is an exciting and forward-thinking space. Be sure to scan your inbox tomorrow between 9AM and the open so you don’t miss out!
