Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Update on AEMD & More

Aethlon Medical, Inc. AEMD

Yesterday’s standout play was AEMD, a stock that we’ve been tracking since October 14th. Following that initial alert, we observed a low of .20 in AEMD, and after trading sideways for the remainder of last month, the stock has been gaining ground steadily over the past few weeks.

We re-flagged it in yesterday’s extended watchlist and witnessed a 27% intraday run from .562-.717 on approximately 10X the 3-month average trading volume. At its high mark of .717, AEMD was showing us an increase of 258% over the lows we observed barely a month ago.

The event that prompted us to originally begin following AEMD was during the height of the Ebola scare, when the company announced that its “Hemopurifier” blood-cleansing system was to be used to treat an Ebola patient overseas. This morning, we ‘re getting word that the patient (who was experiencing multiple organ failure at the time the treatment was administered) has now been discharged from the hospital. >>> FULL PR

It will be interesting to see the effect this news has on AEMD as we approach the holiday hiatus, which shortens this to a 3½ day trading week.

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR -Options

PBR is gapping up again this morning, in the wake of yesterday’s announcement that its ‘Cidade de Ilhabela’ offshore oil platform had been brought online. (Read our comments on the company’s situation in yesterday’s report if you missed it)

Anyone who caught yesterday’s morning report will recall our options-trading targets; we were considering the Jan 17th $10 and $11 Calls. The gap-and-fade that followed provided us a good opportunity to snap up some discounted contracts, and we’ll be looking to lock in some profits on the gap-up we’re seeing this morning.

SinoCoking Coal and Coke Chemical Industries, Inc. SCOK

Another play that we’ve been monitoring for some time is SCOK, which we’ll want to watch closely today on the heels of a notable PR released this morning. According to SCOK, the syngas plant that it recently opened in China is now operating at 100% capacity and pulling more than $80K worth of syngas from the Earth per day.

We actually began tracking SCOK the morning it announced its intent to open the facility, (it ran hard that day from 3.35-9.37, +180%) so this morning’s PR regarding the plant acheiving full operational status brings us full circle with SCOK.

PINGDINGSHAN, China, Nov. 25, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SinoCoking Coal and Coke Chemical Industries, Inc. (SCOK), a producer of clean energy products located in Henan Province, today announced that its above ground facility for the conversion of carbon dioxide into clean-burning syngas has achieved its initial production target of 25,000 cubic meters per hour and is currently transporting syngas to three customers and agents in and around its facility in Pingdingshan.

Based on the current price of $0.139 per cubic meter for syngas, the gross revenue generated per day by the aboveground facility is approximately $83,280. Gross profit margin is expected to be between 45% and 50%. >> FULL PR

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FB, TWTR, POWR, ONVO & More

Facebook, Inc.  FB
& Twitter, Inc. TWTR

After we included FB and TWTR in our extended watchlist yesterday, the two social media giants both made positive moves on the day. The uptrends made trading in the options chains of each of these plays a lucrative venture for the session.

For example, looking at some of the options contracts that were relatively close to the money, FB $66 calls went from .48-1.64, and $67 Calls were as low as .21 and closed at .86. TWTR $39 Calls were also moving, trading in a range from  .24 to .90. No matter what big-board stock you’re looking at options in, the heaviest action will usually be close to the money (i.e. Current market price as it relates to the “strike-price” of a given contract)

PowerSecure International, Inc. POWR

POWR was a feature in yesterday’s report, wherein we tagged the stock for its potential to fill in a huge gap on its chart that goes all the way to the $18-range. We began to see the gap beginning to fill as POWR would make a modest intraday run to a high of 9.79.

We’re going to leave this play on our watchlist as we head into the week’s end and beyond, as it still has much ground to recover. A return to pre-gap levels on the chart would still equate to gains in excess of 100% from here, and there isn’t a whole lot in the way of obvious resistance until we hit the 50DMA (12.27).

On the options side of things, we’re particularly interested in the August $10 Calls (Closed at .75 yesterday), because if POWR can test that 50DMA by 08/16, we could be looking at triple-bag gains from those contracts.

Organovo Holdings, Inc. ONVO

We placed ONVO on watch in Tuesday’s report, as we noticed that unlike some of the other players in the 3D printing industry, it had yet to show a significant uptrend on the chart, and we thought it might be due to make a move.

It appears that alert was quite timely, as the stock is beginning to rear its head,  gapping up today to the tune of 13% in premarket trading. Key resistance at the 200DMA (8.07) has been broken, and if we can hold above that mark, the next areas of resistance crop up at 8.65, and 9.35.

Comments on Today’s GoPro IPO

A large portion of the buzz on the Street today is emanating from the highly-anticipated GoPro Initial Price Offering, and we’re going to take the same stance we always take in these situations.

Our M/O when a big IPO comes out has always been to wait in the wings until we can gauge the price action. Once we get a good feel for the nature of the beast, it’s then that we’ll step in and utilize the trends to our best advantage in the options chain. This strategy served us well on both the FB and TWTR IPO’s, so we’ll continue to use it here.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PBR, NQ & Extended Watchlist

Petroleo Brasiliero (Petrobras) PBR

PBR, which did so well for us earlier this year, is a point of focus for us once again. Since the huge gains the stock afforded us from March-May, it has consolidated a bit, and bounced off the 200DMA (Currently 13.69). We are turning our attention to PBR once again, because we want to be ready when the next upswing comes into effect.

We’d like to see support hold off of the 200DMA, and for the stock to make higher highs and higher lows to confirm the trend. When that occurs, we’ll be turning to the options chain as we did this spring,  and presently, we have our eyes on the 07/19 $15 Calls, which as of yesterday were trading in the .30-.38 range.

In the event that the stock tests its recent swing high of 15.85 by the expiration date, it could spell a double or triple for those contracts, so we’ll really want to keep a close watch. 

NQ Mobile, Inc. NQ

We’ve been tracking NQ this week; including the play in Monday’s Extended Watchlist, and this morning, we are seeing some serious pre-market activity on the stock. It is coming off of a recent bottom, and has already begun to fill one of the gaps on the chart this morning (Up to a high 10.45).

This morning’s announcement  is regarding the independent findings of the investigative committee assigned to look into fraud allegations levied against the company in the fall. NQ looks as if it will be cleared of any wrongdoing, and that appears to be contributing to this morning’s spike.

We could be looking into this one at just the right time; in addition to this morning’s good news, the company is also due to release its annual financials, and some positive figures could add even more fuel to the fire. Conditions appear to be reaching an ideal level for us to potentially register some sizable gains with this play.
