PLUG, BLDP, MACK & Extended Watchlist

Plug Power, Inc. PLUG

We had a feeling that PLUG was going to continue its run yesterday, as stated in our daily report, and once again our instincts served us well. The momentum built up in this stock on Wednesday as it made a 23% move to close out the session on more than 6x the 3mo. average volume was impossible to ignore.

After opening at the key resistance point we outlined (1.45) PLUG briefly dipped to 1.43 and then barreled upward as it touched a high of 1.96, an intraday gain of 37% on roughly 14x the average volume. The momentum continued to build in PLUG and we continued to follow along closely. Remember, our coverage of this play goes back a long way, since the stock was trading in the .11-range.

This morning, the stock is gapping up above 2.00. The current pre-market high of 2.19 represents a gain of 1804% from the low following our first ever PLUG alert back on Feb 28th. The gain from our recent re-alert at a low of 1.04, at this morning’s high, stands at 111%

PLUG has certainly surpassed any expectations we had for it, and as you can see on the chart below, it appears currently overbought, which means the time to take profits off of the table is fast approaching. For newcomers, we believe the best action would be to patiently await a dip, and subsequent rebound, as has occurred several times this year.


Ballard Power Systems, Inc. BLDP

BLDP appeared on our extended watchlist on Wednesday, at which time the stock was trading at a low of 1.34. This morning, we are witnessing a gap-up on a PR that hit the wire post-market yesterday, with trades currently going off in the 1.80-range. We’ll want to keep an eye on the activity here as we close out the week, so we’re reserving a spot on our tickers for BLDP.

Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. MACK

MACK is another play we’ve been tracking recently, mentioning it for the first time on November 8th, when it was trading as low as 2.40. Like the previous play, MACK is gapping up this morning to the tune of more than 100% with shares changing hands for more than 4.80.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 6, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

MWIP, SCXN, & Extended Watchlist

MediSwipe, Inc. MWIP

MWIP closed at its high of day on Friday of a penny on record volume since Sept. ’11. High volume at heightened prices is often a signal that new investors are accumulating the stock, churning out the flippers and profit takers from lower levels.

It’s always a good idea to lock in profits when we have the chance to do so, and we certainly have given everyone that chance, with yesterday’s high representing a 317% rise from the low since we began talking about MWIP.

As stated in Friday’s report, the next key resistance point is going to come at .0125. With the way MWIP closed on Friday, we wouldn’t be surprised to see a continuation of momentum into today’s session.

Typically a gap up is followed by some profit taking, so we’d really like to see support hold at a penny, in the event it dips back to fill that gap.

Scout Exploration, Inc. SCXN

SCXN is new to our reports today. In October, this stock was as low as a nickel, and it caught our attention on Friday after hitting a new 52-wk of .39, trading record volume in the process, to tune of more than 6X it’s 3mo. average.

Scout Exploration has a really interesting backstory- The company has been developing an ‘Oil-Spill Response System’ for the better part of 5 years now. In a nutshell, it has developed a line of unmanned first-response vessels that can be deployed via aircraft, as opposed to traditional implements which are deposited at the spill site by sea. In effect, it is their aim to greatly decrease response time of spill remediation. Faster response times could make a world of difference in dealing with the type of accident that spreads and worsens every minute it goes un-contained.

That’s why we are interested in watching SCXN move forward with this great idea, because it serves a real need. After seeing the kind of devastation caused in the Gulf of Mexico from the recent BP catastrophe and the mishandling of the clean-up, we think it’s about time that someone developed a faster, better way of facilitating rapid and effective action when the unthinkable occurs. SCXN is in the process of doing just that, and we’ll be watching with fingers crossed, because their success would mean something of great significance, not just for the stock but for the world at large.
