Blue Horseshoe Stocks: DRL, PBR & More

Doral Financial Corp. DRL

One of our main interests from this week has been DRL, and this stock put forth a very solid session yesterday. After seeing lows of 6.81 in the morning, the stock broke out in the afternoon to 9.29. That was good for an intraday run of 36%

Some of you may recall our initial alert on DRL back on July 23rd, subsequent to which we would observe a low of 4.61. Yesterday’s high marked a 101% move up from that level, over a span of less than a month.

Congrats go out to everyone who was tracking DRL along with us, as it provided a plenty-big chance for all to profit.

Lucas Energy, Inc. LEI

LEI appeared for the first time in our reports yesterday, and performed pretty well for a first-time call. Right at the open we tracked LEI from its low at .52 and saw a rapid spike to .69, which marked a gain of 32% right off the bat.

Those who missed the opening move still had a chance for a 15% intraday flip as LEI came back to bounce off support at .55 and ran back to .63 just prior to closing.

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR – Tracking Options

We’re still all over the PBR options chain (in fact it has appeared in our reports more than 40 times since March) but we don’t see why anyone would be getting sick of our coverage, as every single one of our recent ideas on this play has paid out in a big way.

Yesterday was no exception; let’s break down our pre-market calls and see how they fared. We mentioned the $16.50  and $17 Weekly Calls for a quick intraday flip opportunity, and traders would have been very pleased to play either set of contracts. The $16.50’s ran 45% in a range from .91-1.32, while the $17’s traded from .50 up to .83; a possible gain of up to 66%

The January $19 Calls that we radared as a longer term option made a small move as well, trading in a range from 1.43-1.58 (+10%)

Those of you who may not recall our week-to-week swing trade idea from last Friday, let us refresh your memory. We mentioned that a play on the 08/22 $15.50 Calls could be good for a swing trade into this week, and the reulsts have been nothing short of astonishing. The contracts saw a low of .38 on Friday, and yesterday, showed us a huge increase, touching 2.17 for total possible gains of up to 471% Cheers to anyone who took our idea with more than a grain of salt!

Side Note:

From yesterday’s extended watchlist, FOLD also had a pretty solid session as it ran steadily from 5.02 in the early morning, to 5.99 around midday. A modest yet comfortable gain of 19%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FREE, DRL, BAA & More

FreeSeas, Inc. FREE

After we brought FREE to our readers in last Thursday’s report, the stock was trading as low as .675. It turned out to be a good bottom call for us, as we have now seen two consecutive days of higher lows, and yesterday FREE attained a high of .91 into the close.

That marked a two session move up of 35% and as the stock closed at the high of day, we’re going to want to monitor FREE for momentum carryover into today. We’ll also be looking for another session of higher lows and higher highs to signify that the uptrend remains on-track.

Doral Financial Corp. DRL

We’ve been tracking DRL since June 9th, (Trading at a low of 3.53) and in that span, we’ve seen some significant movement from this stock.

Last Thursday, in an update on DRL we mentioned that we’d pay careful attention to the stock “over the next handful of trading days.” That turned out to be a good idea, as we’d observe a low of 7.08 on Friday, and a subsequent high of 8.14 during yesterday’s session, a solid increase of 15%

Counting from the initial low we observed in DRL in June, yesterday’s high represented a gain of 130%


Banro Corp. BAA

We have a potential bottom-bounce play in BAA this morning. We caught this one on a routine scan and noticed how it has taken a huge dive over the past few weeks. After closing at .479 on 07/09, the stock came all the way down to close at .181 this past Friday.

The stock has begun to find support and bounce off of its base over the past couple of sessions, so we want to keep a close eye on BAA moving forward.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: DRL, PLUG Earnings & More

Doral Financial Corp. DRL

Following yesterday morning’s mention of DRL and the opportunities it has sent our way over the past couple of months, the stock once again provided for us. This time, it came in the form of a classic dip-and-rip, making its way down to an early-morning low of 6.80 before spending the rest of the session on the rise. We saw shares changing hands at 7.68 just prior to the close, a modest yet solid intraday move of 13%

Estimates have DRL’s earnings release pegged for the end of next week, so it should be interesting to see how this play fares over the next handful of trading days.

Petroleo Brasiliero SA (Petrobras) PBR Update

PBR has fallen into a consolidation pattern over the past couple of sessions, and we are monitoring the chart for signs of a bottom. The stock crept below 15.50, its lowest price in a month.

We’d like to see PBR get back above the 50DMA of 15.68, but in the meantime, we’ll  need to see support hold above the 14.50-mark. Once we observe the telltale signs of another turnaround, we’ll be able to re-form our options trading strategies.

Plug Power, Inc. PLUG– Earnings Released

Our regular readers are well familiar with PLUG, a stock that has graced our reports dozens of times over the years, which we tracked over a mind-numbing range, .135-11.72, from early 2013 to March of this year. This morning will be a good time to turn our attention back to this hall-of-famer.

We want to keep an eye on PLUG in the wake of its earnings release early this morning. The stock is presently gapping up on the strength of record revenues, and looks to be gearing up for an interesting session. We’ve taken an excerpt from the PR, and provided a link to the full release below:

This compares to total revenue of $7.5 million in the second quarter of 2013, which was comprised of $5.6 million of product revenue, $1.5 million of service revenue and $0.4 million of R&D contract revenue.
