Blue Horseshoe Stocks: APP, Social Media Updates & More

American Apparel, Inc. APP

As tends to happen each year, we’ve honed back in on APP at an opportune time. After seeing a low of .51 as recently as June 24th, this past Thursday saw this stock push past the dollar-mark. After another solid session on Friday wherein the stock reached as high as a 1.20, it appears as if APP wants to gap up once again this morning, touching 1.27 in pre-market trading. At that price, we’ve seen an overall move of 149% from this play in just three weeks.

There’s a chance that we could see a slight consolidation to fill the gap on the chart left on Friday (1.05-1.08) in which case we’d need to see APP hold support at or above the 1.05-mark. The chart still appears ripe, however, so it will interesting to see how this play kicks off a new trading week.

Twitter, Inc. TWTR
& Facebook, Inc. FB

Social media giants TWTR and FB began to heat up last week, as anticipation of upcoming earning releases has ramped up, and both stocks seem to be gapping up in early trading this morning. We’ve done very well for ourselves trading options contracts on each of these plays, and will be looking for more of the same as these current uptrends play out.

As far as TWTR is concerned, the next key resistance is sitting at 42.50, and our current scope of interest in Call options rests in the $39-$41 range. Should TWTR gain further ground as trading opens up for the week, those contracts could see an appreciable rise in value in just a short time. (Earnings Release Date: 07/29)

FB’s key area of resistance is around 68.50, and we’re interested in Calls at the $67-69 level. FB earnings will come sooner that TWTR’s by almost a week, with the announcement just 9 days away, so we’ll really want to keep a close eye on the action here. (Earnings Release Date: 07/23)

Solar Wind Energy Tower, Inc. SWET

SWET first appeared in our reports on June 13th, at which time we designated it a stock that was due for a pop, and that’s exactly what we got out of it. The stock rushed upward from our observed low of .0185 to hit .032 (+73%) a week ago. After a slight consolidation and finding of support at .0226, the stock has begun to inch up toward the .03-mark once again. To get there, we’ll need to see a break of resistance at Friday’s swing high of .0291.

This morning’s news could be of help, with the announcement of up to $100M in additional funding hitting press wires:

Solar Wind Energy Tower, Inc. Agrees to Accept up to $100 Million Additional Financing from Arizona Alternative Energy Center, LLC for San Luis, Arizona Tower

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: NSPH, DLIA, POWR

Nanosphere, Inc. NSPH

NSPH is the first of a few new plays that we pulled off of our scanner this morning. The stock made a big move on Monday after it was learned that Nanoshpere had landed a substantial contract. Yesterday the company received FDA clearance on one of its products (Verigene(R) Enteric Pathogens Test), but could not maintain a steady run as a result of an overall dip in the markets.

The stock is, however, gapping up again this morning. We may want to keep an eye peeled for this play, as it is still trading near a relative bottom at its current price range; the stock was trading at 2.50 and above as recently as March.

dELIA*s, Inc. DLIA

Next up, we have DLIA, which popped up on our scanner as something of a momentum play. The stock is coming off of a recent bottom, and has been exhibiting the signs of a bullish run. A quick review of the chart shows that DLIA has made higher lows and higher highs for the last three consecutive trading sessions, and continued to build up a head of steam yesterday, pushing through its 50DMA.

We’re seeing a sizable gap-up this morning as well, and as you can see the chart still looks extremely bullish. We have an RSI which looks like its just about to punch into the power zone, and a MACD which recently underwent a bullish cross. If DLIA can now manage to break through the 200DMA (.98), it appears to have a pretty clear path on up to the 1.25-1.35 range.

PowerSecure International, Inc. POWR

Last but not least we have POWR, which is another morning gapper. The stock fell off a cliff on worse-than-expected earnings back in early May. We are now seeing some of that gap being filled, and want to keep a close watch over this play for the remainder of the week at the very least.

The gap on the chart goes all the way up to more than $18, so a return to previous levels would spell gains of more than 100% Even if the stock can manage to get back above its 50DMA (Currently 12.49), it would yield profits in excess of 40% over present prices.

Today the company announced it had successfully modified the service arrangement with one of its major utility customers to improve the terms of its ongoing service as outlined in the PR below.

WAKE FOREST, N.C., June 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — PowerSecure International, Inc. (POWR) today announced that it has successfully modified the service arrangement with one of its major utility customers to improve the terms of its ongoing service. The modifications include adjustments to pricing, work assignments, and expected improvements in the ongoing scope of work. >> FULL PR

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Bottom Bouncer & Extended Watchlist

Orofino Gold Corp. ORFG

We’ve got ORFG on our radar this morning- this stock has come off of a recent double-bottom, and looks like a potential candidate for finishing out the week on a solid note.

There are a number of things attracting us to the ORFG chart at the moment. Firstly, we can see a strengthening RSI that looks to be on the verge of cracking through the 50-line.

The MACD is also looking good, being in the midst of a bullish cross. If you take a look back to the third week in April you can see that the last time ORFG underwent a bullish MACD cross, the stock ran to nearly a nickel.

To stay interested in where this one might take us, we’ll need to see it maintain support at or above the 50DMA (.015). Resistance crops up at the recent swing high of .027, and beyond that, the 200DMA at .031. A break through that range, and things could get interesting quickly.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: GRCU, SPEX, Options & Extended Watchlist

Green Cures & Botanical Distribution Inc. GRCU

We made sure to tag this long-time favorite yesterday on its first day trading as GRCU (Formerly TTDZ), and the stock made a couple of nice swings for us.

It played out a dip and rip scenario, trading up to .039 first thing in the morning before coming back to bounce off of the ,029 -level and making a subsequent 21% move to .035. It dipped back to .029 once again before running back to .0325, tacking on an extra 12% to possible gains for the day.

Moving forward, we’d like to see GRCU hold support above yesterday’s swing-low of .029, and attempt to break through resistance at .039.

Green Cures’ product line is Green Magic, which is sold at allbotanical.com; They also have a product called Hemjoba, a phytocannabinoid (compound found in cannabis) topical pain relieving lotion.

With some key changes in management coming as well, we won’t want to let GRCU slip off of our radars in the foreseeable future.

Spherix, Inc. SPEX

After including SPEX in our Extended Watchlist yesterday, we were especially pleased with the monster session it put forth. After opening at 1.69, it traded all the way up to 3.20; a solid 89% move on huge volume. If we’ve said it once we’ve said it a hundred times. Plays like these are exactly why it’s so important to monitor our Extended Watchlist plays as intensively as those that we feature. Hidden gems like this are turning up all the time.

SPEX has already traded in a range from 3.35-4.25 in pre-market trading this morning, so we’ll be open to the possibility of a nice bounceplay wif and when eventual profit-taking begins to pull this one back. Those just showing up to this party will want to be on the lookout for that reversal, and be ready to snipe some quick gains on a possible dip-and-rip.

Options Calls Continue To Pay Dividends on Record Bull Run

All of the big-board momentum plays that we’ve been tracking options in since last week continued to yield us prime opportunities yesterday. Multiple times, we’ve reminded readers of the high potential in PCLN, FB, TSLA, GOGO, DDD, and of course, AAPL.

If people were in-sync with our line of thinking heading into yesterday’s session, it’s highly likely that they came away with some serious profit trading options calls in any of these plays.

The bullish trend in the overall market hasn’t yet exhibited any clear signs of slowing down, even as it pushes to new all-time highs.
