Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ZAZA Update & More

ZaZa Energy Corp. ZAZA

We tagged ZAZA last Thursday on the heels of an earnings beat, and at the time, we mentioned that we’d put the stock on watch for a classic dip-and-rip scenario.

While it took more than a full session for it to settle back and find support, it did so on Friday, bouncing off of the 2.87-mark. Yesterday ZAZA continued to trend off of that bottom and reached a subsequent high of 3.60. For us, that marks a three-day turnaround on ZAZA with possible gains of up to 25%

In order for us to remain interested in ZAZA, we’ll need to see support hold at or above the 50DMA of 3.24.



Geron Corp. GERN

We also want to make mention of GERN, which we put on watch Friday after the company announced it had licensed its cancer treatment to a unit of Johnson & Johnson in a contract that could reportedly be worth up to $935 million.

After seeing a low of 2.72 from GERN initially on Friday, the stock began to rebound up to yesterday’s high of 3.10. (+14%) and appears to be gapping up slightly in the premarket today.

Folks might be interested in tuning in to the live webcast of GERN presenting at the Stifel 2014 Healthcare Conference in New York,  NY today at 1:50 p.m. EST. Webcast link can be found at GERN’s Website, HERE >>>

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TWTR Options, ZAZA Earnings & More

Twitter. Inc. TWTR – Options

Part of our attention this morning will be given to TWTR, and, more specifically TWTR calls, as we’re catching the stock in the midst of rebounding off of it’s lowest price point since the end of July. The stock found support just shy of the $40-mark on Tuesday and registered higher lows and higher highs during yesterday’s session.

We’ll look to take advantage of a possible continuation of the trend using the TWTR options chain. The $42 and $43 weekly calls are going to be where we look for intraweek flip opportunities, and for a longer-term swing trade idea, we’ll track the December 12th $44 calls (Last Traded: 1.45).

If TWTR can fill the remaining gap on the chart to the $47-range before 12/12 we could be looking at a 100% increase in those calls from here, so it’s going to be something we’ll pay close attention to over the next month.



ZaZa Energy Corp. ZAZA

ZAZA has us on alert this morning as well; the stock is gapping up heavily on a post-market earnings release that included some interesting figures. The company has a conference call scheduled to begin at 10:00AM EST >>> Listen In via Yahoo! Finance

  • Total production of 54.8 MBOE, a year-over-year increase of 145%.

We’re going to be monitoring this play for an early run-up on the untraded-upon earnings report, followed by a possible dip-and-rip scenario. We’ve sniped out rapid gains on both sides of the fence in situations just like this one, just by staying extra vigilant, so ZAZA will be another interesting play to follow as we close out the week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: JNUG, RAMO & More

Direxion Daily Jr Gld Mnrs Bull 3X ETF (JNUG)

We’ve been tracking JNUG in the wake of last week’s annual low on the price of gold, and as the price of the precious metal has rebounded it has provided us with a few swing-trade opportunities.

Initially we saw JNUG run from 3.59-4.44 (+24%), and after pulling back slightly to 3.65 yesterday morning, the ETF ran back to 4.40, an intraday increase of 20% on several times the average trading volume.

We expect to witness similar patterns of activity in JNUG as long as the price of gold continues to rebound. We’re looking for it to hold support at or above $1161 (Trading in $1166-range this morning)


Ramoil Management Ltd. RAMO

We want to tag RAMO this morning and add it to our list of cannabis-related stocks; according to a PR we just caught coming over the wires, the company is set to begin clinical testing with both CBD and THC (chemical compounds found in marijuana).

It is conveniently timed with the “major hurdle” that was just cleared with regard to government approval of using cannabis for the treatment of soldiers diagnosed with PTSD. The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services has given its stamp of approval, with the measure only needing DEA clearance before becoming policy. >> Read Article in US Today

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — RAMOIL MANAGEMENT, Ltd (RAMO) wants to honor and support our veterans by announcing that RAMO Bio-Med, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, is beginning with controlled clinical testing of “RAMO CBD” and “RAMO THC” formulas for the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, commonly known as PTSD. >> Full PR


Dendreon Corp. DNDN

We’ve been watching DNDN for a bounce opportunity this week, as the stock has been way oversold of late. This morning it appears as if the stock is trying to gap up slightly, so we just want to throw in a reminder that this stock could turn into a hefty bounceplay at any time.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Happy Veteran’s Day

Achillion Pharmceuticals, Inc. ACHN

Those of you who don’t remember, we followed ACHN to enormous gains this past summer, beginning with our first mention of the stock on June 9th. After that time we actually saw this play run from a low of 3.72 to more than 13.00.

We re-tagged it in yesterday’s extended watchlist and were happy with the timing;  the stock traded in a range from 10.67 up to 12.95, a healthy 21% intraday move on more than four times the 1-month average volume.


Planar Systems, Inc. PLNR

We also wanted to do a quick update on PLNR. This stock came off of our extended watchlist on Thursday, and made a modest 15% move from 6.11-7.05, and it put up a similar performance to start the week yesterday.

We saw a move from 6.40-7.94, an intraday gain of 24%, and at the high, an overall increase of 30% from Thursday’s observed low.


Implant Sciences Corp. IMSC

We also want to keep an eye on IMSC today, as we’re seeing the stock gap up this morning on the heels of a PR that alluded to the securing of a contract with the United States Transportation Security Administration (TSA) that apparently could be worth up to $162M.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Recap on RPRX, JNUG, Others

Repros Therapeutics, Inc. RPRX

The primary attraction to come off of our report on Friday was definitely RPRX. The stock had one heck of a solid session, building steadily all day long. It traded from a morning low of 7.66, and reached as high as 10.25 just prior to the close, and did so on volume which exceeded the 3-month average by nearly eight times. That’s a really impressive run from a stock in this price range.

We originally caught RPRX on October 17th after catching the stock gapping down to 52-week lows, and measuring from the low we observed subsequent to that report (5.97), Friday’s high represented an overall increase of 71%

The company is slated to release earnings today >> View Earnings Calendar


Direxion Daily Jr Gld Mnrs Bull 3X ETF (JNUG)

Also jumping off of Friday’s extended watchlist with a good showing was JNUG. We seemed to have timed our mention of this ETF quite well, with gold prices having bounced off of their annual low on Thursday, it set the stage for JNUG to make a respectable intraday day for us.

It traded in a range from 3.59-4.44, gaining as much as 24% on considerable volume, to the tune of 4.5X it’s 3-month average.

JNUG could be an interesting play moving forward providing the rebound in the price of gold is sustained, so that will be one of the things we’ll be interested to watch for as we kick off a new trading week.


Dendreon Corp. DNDN

DNDN is taking a massive premarket pounding this morning in the wake of the company’s filing for Chapter 11 protection. It’s worth noting, despite the forthcoming restructuring, the company will continue to produce and distribute its PROVENGE immunotherapy treatment, and has declared that it “has significant liquidity to support all of its operations during the restructuring process, with approximately $100 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments on hand as of November 7, 2014” >> View PR

Because of the nature of the situation, we’ll be exercising extreme caution, but we still want to monitor the stock for a bottom and subsequent bounceplay opportunities that could come as a result.
