Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Pot Stocks Still Trending

Perhaps some of you were wondering why we went out of our way to re-affirm our interest in pot stocks yesterday. Our latest favorite sector provided a quick answer to that, as the uptrends continued for most of these plays. Once again we remind our readers that this up-and-coming market sector is bound to be one of the biggest stories of the year, and so far there’s no end in sight.

Alternative Energy Partners, Inc. AEGY

Our coverage of this medical marijuana stock in yesterday’s newsletter came just in the nick of time. The stock had been heating up in the previous session and did not disappoint, touching a low of .0036 before surging to a high of .0065. That marks an intraday gain of 81% on almost a billion shares traded (Roughly 9x the 3mo. average), and was a strong enough performance to land us atop the Penny Stock Rumble, an honor we’re no strangers to receiving:

The stock looks like it wants to gap up again this morning, so we;ll be watching AEGY diligently today.

Other Winning Cannabis Calls

Along with our reminder to continue paying attention to all marijuana-related stocks yesterday, we included a list of several of the more notable candidates, and of that list most of them saw substantial gains.

EAPH –  Daily Range: .0165-.0243 –  Max Gain: 47%

CBIS – Daily Range: .146-.26 – Max Gain: 78%

MJNA – Daily Range: .3151-.40 – Max Gain: 27%

HEMP – Daily Range: .059-.071 –  Max Gain: 20%

SKTO – Daily Range: .024-.0349 – Max Gain: 45%

ERBB – Daily Range: .012-.0147- Max Gain: 23%

TRTC – Daily Range: .385-.485 – Max Gain: 26%

Those are just a few of the opportunities that were available, as you can see from the following scan of yesterday’s most active OTC stocks. The vast majority were marijuana-related, as the “Green Rush” saw new life breathed into it once again:

Central Wireless, Inc. CWIR

To add a new cannabis play to our spectrum this morning, we are looking at CWIR. We noticed that this stock has been running over the past couple of sessions on greatly increased volume, and is going to be one that we want to follow closely.

Blue Horseshoe: Pot Stocks Update & More

Pot Stocks Update
–
Even as we’ve had other things occupying our main focus, we’ve stated continuously that traders should keep the cannabis sector on close watch. Following the complete hysteria over the industry which reached its peak shortly after we rung in the new year, we’ve seen just what we expected; consolidations leading to bounces that in many cases have been good for gains approaching those achieved by the New Year’s rush. So let’s take a look at some of the more notable performers from our long-standing watchlist. These represent just a few of the opportunities that marijuana related stocks have continued to bring us. We are not done with this sector by any means, and feel strongly that it will yield more and more gains as time goes on.

ENDEXX Corp. EDXC

We’ve had EDXC on our radar for a very long time, and it is one that didn’t lose much ground at all after pulling back off of its initial surge. Beginning at less than seven cents, 2014 has seen the stock continue to bull its way upward, touching .235 yesterday. It’s certainly a far cry from when we first came upon the stock last year, back when it was trading at roughly .015.

Cannabis Science, Inc. CBIS

CBIS has made quite an impressive bounce after consolidating off of its big run, finding support at .075; from there, it launched itself back upward for a sizable move to yesterday’s high of .1255. That marks a three-session move of 67%

Creative Edge Nutrition, Inc. FITX

The last time we looked in on FITX was on January 14th, at which time the stock was searching for support, and found it at .0174 the following day. It didn’t take long for the stock to produce yet another huge run, touching .045 during yesterday’s session. It broke above an area of previous resistance at .031, so on the next downswing, we’ll be looking for FITX to hold that level as support.

We’ve already pointed out how powerful a signal the Golden Cross can be, and FITX is yet another prime example of this. That’s why we’ve been keeping such a keen eye on our next play, because it too has a Golden Cross in the making.

Resource Ventures, Inc. REVI

REVI held its ground very well yesterday, after our bounce-call on Tuesday took it from .0074-.0105. It registered a higher low at .0085, and managed to close out the day in the green at .009. We’d like to see REVI continue to hold support in the .0075-.0085 as it works toward its Golden Cross, which if the current trend holds, could potentially occur within the next week or two.


ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ARIA & Hemishperix BioPharma, Inc. HEB

We’ve been tracking both of these pharma plays for awhile, which are worthy of mentioning this morning:

ARIA

We mentioned ARIA back in October when it was trading around its 52-week low at 2.15. In Mid-December, it began a run which yesterday resulted in a high of 6.75. This morning the stock is gapping up into the 7.30-range.

ARIA has been the subject of potential buyout rumors originating in the UK, with names like GlaxxoSmithKline being tossed around. While this remains speculation at this time, the ramifications of a buyout would be huge, so this is a story we’ll continue to follow.

HEB

In the case of HEB, we’ve tracked this play since December, where it found a bottom in the low .20’s, and has performed exceptionally well into the new year. Yesterday the stock hit a high of .4978.

TSLA Options, CANN & Extended Watchlist

Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA

It isn’t every day that we make options-trading picks, but when we do, they’re usually pretty accurate. On Wednesday, we floated the idea that the TSLA $165 and $170 Weekly Calls were looking attractive, and priming up for possible breakouts. As you can see on the following charts, that assumption proved to be a good one; both contracts would yield opportunities at multi-bag gains.

The $170 Calls were as low as .50 and hit a high of 3.85, representing a 670% move.

  The $165 Calls traded from a low of 1.55 up to 7.95 on Thursday, an intraday swing of 413%

In order to squeeze added gains from these contracts, we’ll need to see TSLA stock to hold support at or above 168.80, and we’re looking for a break of resistance at 172.70. Pre-market trades are currently going off in the 171.50-range.

Advanced Cannabis Solutions, Inc. CANN

CANN has been very good to us in the short while we’ve been tracking it (1st alert, 01/08, Low of 6.31). We’ve included it in every newsletter since Tuesday, and every day it has bulled its way to new highs. Yesterday, it hit 23.35, marking a rise of 270% from our initial alert, which came just six trading sessions ago.

This has been one cannabis stock that has sustained its trend quite well, even as movement in some of the others has slowed. However, just because the feeding frenzy we witnessed in the first week of the new year has calmed down, that doesn’t mean we’ve taken our eyes off of the sector. We expect pot stocks to continue to be one of the more popular items on the speculative trader’s agenda in 2014.

Sector Side Note: Easton Pharmaceutical, Inc. EAPH – One of the other marijuana stocks we’ve followed, EAPH had consolidated off of its recent big run and yesterday began to bounce. We might see more significant gain opportunities from EAPH if it can hold support above the .008-level.
