Blue Horseshoe Stocks: IDXG Update & More

Interpace Diagnostics Group, Inc. IDXG

We tracked IDXG last week over a couple of stellar sessions that led to a swing of more than 400%, cautioning that a dip-and-rip could be in the cards after seeing such a volatile move to the upside.

That’s exactly what we’ve seen in the past couple of days, as IDXG came down to find support at the .865 level, and in the ensuing three sessions it’s been steadily registering higher highs and higher lows, getting back to 1.25 yesterday (+45%).

We’ll continue to follow this story, which kicked off with the revelation that Aetna would cover Interpace’s ThyraMir™ test for its 46 million insured members. (>>View PR)

Experience Art & Design, Inc. EXAD

We had EXAD tagged in yesterday’s premarket report and this subpenny play produced a moderate run to kick off the session, even as the larger markets were struggling with the Fed rate hike announcement.

From an early low of .0023, the stock took just the first hour of trading to find its way up to a high of .0038, for a 65% pop. IDXG hung around that level until around lunchtime, and it did come back down to its daily low toward the close, so we’ll be looking for the possibility of a rebound.

Catalyst Biosciences, Inc. CBIO

We’re also interested in following the activity of CBIO today, which is gapping up in the premarket to the tune of more than 100% and looks like it could be lining up to have a big day. We’ll want to make sure it holds above its 50DMA (.80) on any pullbacks, but if it can breach past its 200DMA of 1.31, things could get very interesting.

News broke yesterday via an 8-K filing that CBIO had entered into a definitive agreement with Wyeth LLC, (wholly-owned subsidiary of Pfizer Inc.) to transfer exclusive rights to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize Factor VIIa variants, CB 813a and CB 813d, as well as transferring the investigational NDA to CBIO as well.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: VLTC Recap & More

Voltari Corp. VLTC

A unique opportunity presented itself when billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn disclosed his increased position in VLTC (52% ownership) on April 1st. We tagged the stock in our premarket report that morning as it was gapping up, and have become more and more pleased with that decision as time goes on.

After witnessing a low of 2.18 the following day, it has been mostly northward movement as the stock has slowly but surely made its way to impressive new highs. We’ve been tracking it all along the way, with routine followup mentions on the 8th, 10th, 16th, and again in yesterday’s report.

During yesterday’s session VLTC made a nice move from a low of 8.75 to a new 52-week high of 10.41 at the close. It marked a healthy intraday run of 19%, and represents an overall increase of 377% from our observed low on April 2nd.

Anyone trading in this play has certainly thought of taking profits by this point, and reasonably so. That being said, with a high-profile investor like Icahn involved, we’ll have to be sure we don’t let VLTC slip off of our radars as we go forward.

When we finally do see a consolidation off of this historic run, we’ll immediately transition into bottom-watch mode and lay in wait for a subsequent rebound.

Pazoo, Inc. PZOO

We also want to give a quick update on PZOO, which as our readers are aware, we’ve been tracking pretty heavily in recent weeks. Like VLTC, it was also April 1st that we re-introduced this one into the mix. We’ve witnessed many intraday swings since then, that have offered multiple opportunities for successful trades.

Yesterday, the stock made its way from a daily low .0093 and spiked 18% to a new high of .011. That means that from the low of .0049 we observed on April 6th, PZOO had increased by a total of 124% It also closed at .0105; we’d like to see the stock work toward building a base of support at that key penny-level, however on any potential pullbacks we’ll want to see it hold support at or above the channel between the current 50DMA of .0074 and .008.

As we mentioned yesterday, we’re still rather “high” on marijuana-related stocks and PZOO remains one of our favorite ones, in its unique niche of medical cannabis testing/analysis.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: BCLI Recap & More

BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics, Inc. BCLI

2015 is upon us and our first order of business is to address one of the stocks we tagged in Wednesday’s premarket report. BCLI had a strong session, as it pushed its way up from an early low of 4.02 to an aftyernoon high of 4.94; a solid +23% performance.

The strong session was apparently aided by the pre-emptive PR the company released which served as a reminder that results from Phase 2a trials of its ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) treatment would be released on Monday. This morning the stock is gapping up wildly as anticipation grows, having already hit a premarket high of 7.28, which represents a total increase of 81% over the low we observed on New Year’s Eve.

Monday’s data release, which is expected to be positive, should most likely produce one of two effects. Either the results will beat expectations and facilitate another strong move, or they will fail to meet the mark and cause a pullback. In case of the latter, there may be rebound opportunities waiting just around the corner.


RedHill BioPharma Ltd. RDHL & NephroGenex, Inc. NRX

We also had this pair of standouts appear in Wednesday’s report, with each stock making a similar move. Both started the day with significant spikes in PPS, followed by a tapering off into the close.

RDHL made a sensational jump beginning almost immediately at the open running from 12.52 on up to 17.85 before its pullback, an intraday spike equaling 42.5%. Coincidentally, the stock ended the session having traded 42.5X its 3-month average volume.

NRX saw an initial low of 12.96, followed by a healthy 39% run to a high of 17.98. This play would offer one more opportunity in the form of an intraday swing as it came down and rebounded off of the 12.60-mark before returning to 15.15, an added 20% move, bringing the day’s cumulative total of possible gains to 59% .
