Blue Horseshoe Stocks: JDST, CNET, TTMI & More

Direxion Daily Jr Gld Mnrs Bear 3X ETF (JDST)

JDST, for those of you who may not be familiar, is a bear index for gold, which has been taking a pounding over the past couple of months, as world economies have seen a general pickup.

Many analysts are predicting a protracted bearish run from the precious metal, for instance Goldman Sachs has forecast gold to decline to $1,050 an ounce this year. Still others believe a trip to sub-$1000/oz prices is in the cards.

Should gold continue its downtrend, JDST is one way to leverage against that, so we’re going to have this index on our radar from this point forward. It could stand to see further increases while investors are turning to other classes of assets which are currently boasting healthier returns.


TTM Technologies, Inc. TTMI 

TTMI is hitting our scanners this morning as a potential bottom play. The stock made a run toward the end of Thursday’s session, and spent the day Friday under general consolidation where it came down to bounce off of support at 7.28 in the last hour of trading.

We’ll be keeping an eye in the activity here today, on the heels of this morning’s news of an acquisition that will make the company one of the world’s leading manufacturers of printed circuit boards.

COSTA MESA, Calif. and ST. LOUIS, Sept. 22, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TTM Technologies, Inc. (TTMI) (“TTM”) and Viasystems Group, Inc. (VIAS) (“Viasystems”) today announced the execution of a definitive agreement under which TTM will acquire all outstanding shares of Viasystems >>> FULL PR



ChinaNet Online Holdings, Inc. CNET

Another stock that popped up during this morning’s scan falls more under the category of a momentum play; CNET made a big move on Friday, and from the looks of things we should be on the lookout for some of that activity to carry over into this week. The stock is presently gapping up in the premarket, and as always when we see this scenario, we are open to the possibility of seeing a potential dip-and-rip on the chart.

The company also announced today that it had won recognition at yesterday’s Chinese eCommerce Industry Gateway Conference in Beijing:

BEIJING, Sept. 22, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ChinaNet Online Holdings, Inc. (CNET) (“ChinaNet” or the “Company”), a leading B2B (business to business) Internet technology company providing online-to-offline (O2O) sales channel expansion services for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurial management and networking services for entrepreneurs in the People’s Republic of China, announced today that the company won the Best Company in Chinese Entrepreneurial SME Business Development Marketing at the 2014 Chinese e-Commerce Industry Gateway Conference. >>> FULL PR

Extended Watchlist:
TATT, DSS, RSH, CLX

DUSS, ILST, TSLA, AAPL, ATRM & Extended Watchlist

Dussault Apparel, Inc.  DUSS

On Tuesday, DUSS released an 8K containing information regarding its pending acquisition of a gold mining property. This adds substance to this very cheaply-priced stock, and with Wednesday’s session seeing a high of .0011 on more than 10X its 3mo. average volume, now is a good time to start monitoring this stock.

The last significant spike on the DUSS chart took it as high as .0015, so a return to those levels from here could facilitate gains in excess of 50% or more. We’d like to see support continue to hold at .0006-.0007 in order for us to remain interested.


International Star, Inc.  ILST

We are introducing a new momentum play in ILST today. Like DUSS, ILST represents a company that has just shifted its business toward the mining sector.  Wednesday, the stock woke from a slumber, and moved from a low of .001 to as much as .0034 on record volume.

The company is currently working toward getting their claim prepared for production. The Van Deemen Mine property consists of five un-patented claims totaling approx. 100 acres, and an additional 18 un-patented lode claims in the surrounding area. As with any junior mining project, the road to production can be a long one, so there’s no sense of urgency here. But at its current price level and at this stage of the story, we thought it would be a good time to put ILST on the radar, and begin following its journey.


Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA – Options Ideas

Turning our attention to options trading, we are taking a look at TSLA. With the current conditions on the chart appearing favorable for an uptrend, we are looking at 12/21 $120 Call, which last traded at 11.35, and 12/27 $130 calls, last traded at 6.35.

As you can see on the included chart, conditions appear to be gearing up nicely for a possible surge in PPS.


Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options

AAPL is another candidate to provide us with some good options-trading opportunities based on current conditions. AAPL weekly Calls could provide a nice day-trading opportunity today that could yield fast profits. We want to radar the 550, 555 and 560 calls, because all week long, AAPL has been making huge gains and the weekly Calls have made multi-bag gains.

If today’s action can repeat the activity we saw earlier in the week, we could be looking at some sizable gains from these Calls. AAPL $550 calls closed at .80, $555’s closed at .30, and the $560’s were at .12. It’s always safer to play closer to the money with your strike price, so we’re keeping that in mind. If AAPL can’t make its way past $555, the $560’s may not make the same kind of moves that expect from the $550’s and $555’s.


Aetrium, Inc. ATRM

We’ve been talking about ATRM since last Friday, and highlighted it once again on Monday. It would pull back early in the week, and then on Wednesday we got the move we were looking for. From Tuesday’s low of 4.19, the stock would hit a high of 12.40, marking a possible gain of up to 196% for anyone who loaded up on the dip.


Extended Watchlist:
INOL, JCP, DRYS, DSS, FRO, ZOOM, UPIP, GNK, EGLE

MINE, VOIS, REDG & Extended Watchlist

The following pair of stocks came off of our extended watchlist yesterday morning to provide us with the chance at some quick intraday gains.

Minerco Resources, Inc. MINE

MINE made a quick 33% move Wednesday morning, touching a low of .003 before upticking to .004. The stock closed back at .0029, so we are going to be observing MINE for similar intraday bounces today. Having traded roughly 5X the average volume, this is a stock that is getting a lot of trader attention.

The company had news out yesterday as well.

VOIS, Inc.

Another stock coming off of yesterday’s extended watchlist, VOIS opened at .0077, and saw a low of .0066 before running to .0123, gaining 60% in the first 30 minutes of trading. It ended up dipping back to .0075, and made another 32% pop, touching .0099 before settling in to close at .0095. VOIS is currently even more hotly-traded than the previously mentioned stock, with 21M shares changing hands yesterday, more than 10X the normal amount.

The activity comes on the heels of an LOI PR released yesterday morning by VOIS.

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — VOIS, INC. (OTCQB: VOIS) announces that it has entered into a Letter of Intent with Mind Technologies, Inc.

Red Giant Entertainment Inc. REDG

REDG is going to be a potential bounceplay for today. The stock gapped down from .20 to .18 yesterday, and took a beating for most of the day to a low of .065. At around 2PM, a significant amount of volume began flowing into the stock, and facilitated a bounce back to .11 before closing at .10.

In all the stock traded over 4.6M shares yesterday, with roughly 1.4M of that coming in at the close, and with that kind of momentum, we are very interested to observe the activity on REDG today.
