Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Cannabis Stocks & More

Cannabis Stocks

We’re going to kick off this Wednesday morning with a number of pot stocks to discuss. As conditions in the sector continue to normalize after the frenzy that took place early this year, there are still many opportunities that have been presenting themselves, as well as a good many storylines to follow. Here are a few of the plays that have our interest piqued at the moment:

Advanced Cannabis Solutions, Inc. CANN

We’ve been tracking CANN since January 8th (from a low of 6.31), and had been beyond pleased when the stock transformed into a raging beast, hitting 35.88 on Friday. After congratulating our readers on those possible gains of 469% on Monday, we’ve now seen even further strides from CANN. It dipped to 31.45, and ran an additional 46% as of yesterday’s 46-dollar high. From our initial alert, yesterday’s high-of-day represented an overall move of 629% Not too shabby for a time period of less than two months!

Alternative Energy Partners, Inc. AEGY

We began following AEGY closely on January 27th, at which time, we observed a stock at .0036 which would go on to run up to .0119 for a possible gain of 236% just five days later. Since then, AEGY had been gradually consolidating, and reached a low of .0046 on Monday. With the help of an exciting merger PR yesterday, the stock turned around and ran back up to the .0089 level (+93%).

Making things even more interesting, is the fact that the company that intends to merge with AEGY is one that we are familiar with, in SKTO. The resulting entity will surely be a company that we’re going to want to follow closely.

LOS ANGELES, CA, Mar 04, 2014 (Marketwired via COMTEX) — Alternative Energy Partners, Inc. (OTCBB: AEGY) (OTCQB: AEGY), doing business as PharmaJanes(TM), and SK3 Group (OTC Pink: SKTO), doing business as Medical Greens(TM), announce that their respective Boards of Directors have agreed in principle to merge the two companies for better market efficiencies and to create a single medical marijuana market support company which can qualify for a higher (AMEX, NASDAQ) market listing. >> FULL PR

Medican Enterprises, Inc. MDCN

Here’s another medical marijuana play that started to break out yesterday, one that we’re going to want to watch as we cruise through mid-week. Interest stems from a 8K-filing dated 01/21 that outlined an agreement MDCN had formed with two cannabis-related companies that will be assisting MDCN in obtaining licensed-producer status from Health Canada in hopes of entering into the Canadian medical pot business. Never having traded this high, it’s fair to designate MDCN as being in Blue-sky Breakout Mode, so caution should be employed, however, the chance for momentum to carry this stock even higher is certainly present.

ML Capital Group, Inc. MLCG

Per a 02/28 press release MLCG recently announced that it would be expanding their cannabis-related activities when they patented the name “SuperStar Vapor Pens.” In that release, it stated that it had begun an “aggressive sales campaign to launch this new product line during the next two months” and that the company had “already received verbal commitments with two major distributors to carry SuperStar Vapor Pens and sell them on a national level” According to MLCG, we can expect news of the finalization of those purchase orders by next week, so MLCG is one that we’ll be putting on our radar at least until that time.

Triton Distribution Systems, Inc. TTDZ

Another of our recent favorites in the sector, TTDZ, has news out this morning that we wanted to pass along:

WINNETKA, CA, Mar 05, 2014 (Marketwired via COMTEX) — Green Cures Inc. and Triton Distribution Systems, Inc. (OTC Pink: TTDZ) is pleased to announce the acquisition of FutureMarijuana.com and its Online Network Portfolio. The acquisition of this portfolio is of significant value to Green Cures Inc. presently and in future operations.

Green Cures, Inc. management decided to add additional partnerships that will enrich its business resources, including those with licensed agricultural cooperatives in the state of Colorado; as well as, production, marketing and distribution of Cannabidiol (CBD) products labeled “Green Cures”. >> FULL PR


Kandi Technologies, Inc. KNDI

Now to shift gears away from pot stocks, we have yet another success-story to point out. We first came across KNDI last summer when it was trading at a low of 4.41. The stock hasn’t done any backsliding since then, and in fact, has continuously pushed the envelope to present levels ($18-range), which are incidentally 325% higher than that all-time low.

Even the gains from our most recent alert of KNDI (Feb. 10th, low of 13.02) as of yesterday’s 18.75-high are impressive, standing at 44%


Suburban Minerals Corp. SUBB

While we didn’t see a monstrous breakout from SUBB yesterday, the stock did register modest gains, closing up just over 4% on the day, on roughly twice its 3-month average volume. We’re still looking for a break of recent resistance at .19, and will need to see support continue to hold above .165.

As we stated yesterday, if SUBB can break out of this channel, we feel that it could easily run back to test recent highs in the .24-.27 range.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks Kicks Off 2014 With a Bang!

Cannabis Sector Report

Our tenacity in covering one of the hottest stories of 2013 just won’t stop paying dividends, and all signs point to the sustaining of that trend in 2014.

Lately, some of you might have been wondering why we have been so keen to continue our focus on marijuana-related stocks (aside from the percentage gains they’ve already afforded us, collectively numbering in the thousands). You got your definitive answer yesterday, when 2014 trading kicked off, and the plethora of pot stocks we’ve been tracking proceeded to put some serious coin in our pockets!

While some newsletters have yet to even release their first picks of the new year, we are already tallying up a number of winning selections in this sector (and others).

Cannabis Science, Inc. CBIS

We caught CBIS off of its 52-wk lows (.028) in December. Following yesterday’s huge session, we saw a high of .087. That marks a huge 211% gain from our December alerts. Those who may have only caught yesterday’s report, still had the chance at up to 57% from the daily low of .0555.

GreenGrow Technologies, Inc. GRNH

From a low of .045 to a high of .0795, GRNH put up an excellent session to follow our morning mention, giving traders the chance at a very respectable 77% gain. Back on November 18th, we bore witness to a .02-low on GRNH. From that level, yesterday’s high represents a increase of 298%

Hemp, Inc. HEMP

HEMP traded in a daily range from .02-.0318, offering us gains of up to 59% on the day. Like the previously mentioned plays, HEMP appears to want to gap up today. The momentum we’re observing in all of these stocks could take awhile to dry up.

GrowLife PHOT

PHOT didn’t disappoint either, with it’s maiden session of 2014 seeing a low of .157 give way to a high of .2075, a solid move of 32%

Those were just the top gainers of the cannabis stocks we’ve been tracking, several others, including MDBX, ERBB, TRTC, FITX and more, also posted positive gains on the day, and will continue to remain on our watchlists moving forward.


Plug Power, Inc. PLUG 

Shifting gears from the marijuana stocks, we once again have PLUG. Following its appearance in yesterday’s newsletter (where we mentioned that this play had already made a move of over 1800% for us) PLUG would go on to have a bang-up first session of the year, dipping to a low of 1.89 before running up to 2.33, and giving us added gains to the tune of 23% The stock closed at the high of day, and as is always the case when that happens, we are on a sharp lookout for continued momentum. It appears that’s just what we’re going to get, as the stock is already trading up in the 2.50-range this morning on relatively heavy premarket volume.


Extended Watchlist:
PROW, RSOL, OIBR, RIBT, FCEL, NVAX

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.

VANCOUVER, Dec. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP)(TSX: BLD) has announced the signing of a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Van Hool NV, Europe’s fourth largest bus manufacturer, in support of the manufacture and further deployment of zero emission fuel cell buses.>>>FULL STORY


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. (MACK) today announced that Phase 1 data evaluating safety of the novel agent MM-302 in patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer will be presented at the 2013 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), December 10-14, 2013 in San Antonio, Texas.  >>> FULL STORY

GERN, BOSC, CPST, FCEL, PSUN, ENZN, ETAK, OCLS

PLUG, IACH, CALI, AAPL & Extended Watchlist

Plug Power, Inc. PLUG

PLUG turned in a solid session yesterday, as anticipated, following its appearance in our morning report. Initially, the stock opened at 1.04, made a 12.5% move to 1.1699, and would settle back to the 1.04 level before running up to a daily high of 1.28 for an added 23% intraday gain opportunity.

Following a strong close just a tick below the high-of-day (1.27) we’re going to be following this play once again, as the momentum could easily carry it even higher. As you can see on the chart below the next key area of resistance to watch for a break comes at the 1.45 level. We’ll need to see the stock hold support above a dollar, or it could pull back to fill the gap on the chart back to the .80-range.


Information Architects Corp. IACH

We’ve been tracking IACH via our Extended Watchlist for most of the week. The stock recently made a huge 1800% move from .001-.019, prompting us to put it on our radar,  monitoring for pullbacks and subsequent bounce opportunities, and it delivered just that.

After dipping back to .008, we saw a rebound back to .013, and a strong close at .012. Gains of up to 63% could have been achieved on the bounce.


China Auto Logistics, Inc. CALI

We also want to keep an eye on CALI, which popped up on our pre-market scan as it is gapping up heavily on the heels of a morning press release.

TIANJIN, CHINA, Dec 05, 2013 (Marketwired via COMTEX) — China Auto Logistics Inc. (the “Company” or “CALI”) (NASDAQ: CALI), a top seller in China of luxury imported automobiles, and a leading provider of auto-related services, reported today that on November 30, 2013, its subsidiary, Tianjin Binhai Shisheng Trading Group Co., Ltd. (“Shisheng”) signed an equity transfer agreement with Hezhong International Development Co, Ltd. to acquire Tianjin Zhonghe Auto Sales Service Co., the owner and operator of the Airport International Automall in Tianjin (the “Automall”). The Company plans to develop the Automall into a key site for what it believes can become one of the largest used car businesses in China.


Apple, Inc. AAPL Options

With the way AAPL has been gaining a head of steam lately, it seems plausible to imagine the stock surpassing $600 as we head into the new year. As a result, we are putting the 01/18 $585 Calls on our radar which closed at 12.25 yesterday, meaning the break-even point is 597.50. What we’re looking for, is to see the stock push past to the $610-15 level in January, which could provide triple-digit gains for the 01/18 $585 Calls.

The company finally signed a deal with China Mobile to get its iPhones on their network, as reported by the The Wall Street Journal this morning. China Mobile is comprised of over 700 million users, which obviously represents huge opportunity (in a market more than twice the population of the US) for Apple to boost foreign sales moving forward.

CBMX, DRYS, MTG, FREE, FCEL, EGLE, LIVE, OCZ

TSLA, PLUG, ETRM, OMED & Extended Watchlist

Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA – Options
Back on November 29th, we were noticing that conditions on the TSLA chart had been exhibiting signs of a coming uptrend, and as a result, we presented a few options trading ideas that we felt had a reasonable chance of success. In particular, the 12/21 $120 Calls, and the 12/27 $130 Calls. We were rewarded for our interest, as the stock did indeed find its legs and begin to run following that report.

Since then we’ve seen some major moves out of those contracts, as the $120 Calls ended up trading from a low of 8.40, all the way up to yesterday’s closing price of 25.46, a monstrous 203% gain. The $130 Calls saw their low at 5.03, and ended up closing at 17.07. That was good for an even larger 239% rip.

Chartwise, it appears as if resistance is sitting at $145.65, $151, and the 50DMA of $159.45, and there is a gap on the chart to fill from $160-176, so a push past those key resistance points could lead to more pronounced increases. We would continue to take advantage of the added gains on these contracts, and in the event of a sustained uptrend, would have to consider rolling our strike price up to higher level that we believe would still be pushed into the money.


Plug Power, Inc. PLUG

PLUG has been an old favorite of ours from last March when we caught it on our scanners coming off its 52-wk lows (.1155) and we’ve mentioned it on multiple occasions since that time. We’ve followed this play all the way up to current levels, which as a result of recent favorable reports on the company’s finances, have reached all the way up to this morning’s pre-market high of 1.41. That represents an increase of 1121% off of lows following our initial alert.

We’ll be continuing to monitor PLUG closely, and will certainly want to take part in today’s conference call/webcast in which the CEO will address the reasoning behind his statement that the company is on pace for a “blowout quarter.”, as well as other issues.

LATHAM, N.Y., Dec 04, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) — Plug Power Inc. (Nasdaq:PLUG), a leader in providing clean, reliable energy solutions, will today host a conference call and webcast during which CEO Andy Marsh will provide a business update for Plug Power and the Company’s expectations for the remainder of 2013 and for 2014.Since the October 8 business update call, the Company has seen an additional 17.8M USD in bookings. Plug Power is currently in negotiations with several large customers on sales agreements to deploy turn-key GenDrive solutions at multiple distribution centers. The Company believes this will significantly impact the fourth quarter bookings, as well as provide a recurring revenue stream from product, service and hydrogen contracts. Plug Power expects orders to range between 30M and 40M USD for the fourth quarter of 2013.

Plug Power has scheduled its conference call and webcast today at 10:30 am ET to review the Company’s business updates. Participants are encouraged to join the webcast to access the accompanying slide show presentation.

Andy Marsh will be joined by COO, Keith Schmid, and Vice President of Sales, Erik Hansen, to answer questions.


EnteroMedics, Inc. ETRM

ETRM was part of yesterday’s Extended Watchlist, and the stock went on to put up quite a performance. After touching a low of 1.48 shortly before 10:30am, ETRM would spend the rest of the day pressing upward to its high of day and closing price at 2.24. This marks an impressive intraday run of 51% on nearly 20x its 3mo. average volume.

We’ll certainly want to keep an eye on a stock with current momentum of this magnitude.


OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. OMED

Another winner from yesterday’s Extended Watchlist, OMED traded in a range from 22.10-31.99, which marks an intraday move of 45% Quite an impressive feat for a big-board stock in this price range.

Congrats to anyone who caught this, or any of the opportunities for significant profits afforded by the excellent calls in yesterday’s report.
