Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ARNA Recap & More

Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ARNA

You have to go a long way back to find our very first coverage of ARNA. It was May 11th, 2012 that we first mentioned this stock as an item to have on long-term watch. At that time the company had an obesity treatment that was awaiting FDA approval.

The public sentiment during that summer was that FDA approval was all but in the bag, and as we waited the stock began a monstrous run from a low of 5.44 to the day of its approval when it hit 13.50, an overall increase of 148% It would be a very long time before we talked about ARNA again.

The next time was fairly recently on November 3rd when we included ARNA on our Extended Watchlist, and over a period of a few sessions, saw the stock make a decent move from a low of 4.12 to 4.76. After that, it endured a series of incremental pullbacks over the next several weeks.

Yesterday morning, in a stroke of superb timing we tagged the stock in our watchlist once again, and what it did next blew the run we witnessed in November right out of the water!  Coinciding with the announcement of positive top-line results on another of the company’s treatments (this one for autoimmune disease) ARNA made a huge intraday run from a low of 3.66 to all the way up to 6.09. That’s a hefty 66% increase in a single session, and it came on approximately 20X the 3-month average volume, so cheers are in order for anyone who took advantage of our timely alert!

Heritage Media Corp. HMCP

Since we mentioned HMCP for the first time on New Year’s Eve, the stock has provided us with a few quality swing-trade opportunities. That day the stock traded in a range from .0047 to .0068, an intraday gain of 45% In following sessions we then observed subsequent swings from .0037-.0064 (+73%) and .0034-.0062 (+82%) making HMCP a flipper’s dream.

As we point out on the snapshot below, what has formed on the chart is known as a bullish flag, which is known to be a signal of further gains. Couple that with an RSI that’s screaming toward the power zone, and it makes HMCP one that we’ll really need to watch closely as we head into week’s end.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ZAZA Update & More

ZaZa Energy Corp. ZAZA

We tagged ZAZA last Thursday on the heels of an earnings beat, and at the time, we mentioned that we’d put the stock on watch for a classic dip-and-rip scenario.

While it took more than a full session for it to settle back and find support, it did so on Friday, bouncing off of the 2.87-mark. Yesterday ZAZA continued to trend off of that bottom and reached a subsequent high of 3.60. For us, that marks a three-day turnaround on ZAZA with possible gains of up to 25%

In order for us to remain interested in ZAZA, we’ll need to see support hold at or above the 50DMA of 3.24.


Geron Corp. GERN

We also want to make mention of GERN, which we put on watch Friday after the company announced it had licensed its cancer treatment to a unit of Johnson & Johnson in a contract that could reportedly be worth up to $935 million.

After seeing a low of 2.72 from GERN initially on Friday, the stock began to rebound up to yesterday’s high of 3.10. (+14%) and appears to be gapping up slightly in the premarket today.

Folks might be interested in tuning in to the live webcast of GERN presenting at the Stifel 2014 Healthcare Conference in New York,  NY today at 1:50 p.m. EST. Webcast link can be found at GERN’s Website, HERE >>>

Gainers From Yesterday’s Watchlist

NV5 Holdings, Inc. NVEE
NVEE made a decent move during yesterday’s session, trading in a positive range from 10.60-12.40, offering up the chance for a 19% intraday gain.

Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. FOLD
Another modest yet notable mover came in the form of FOLD, which increased from a low of 6.22 and reached 7.10, a move of 14%

JNUG, AUY, DNDN, UEC, ONVO

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FCGD Update & More

First Columbia Gold Corp. FCGD

We wanted to take an opportunity this morning to update our subscribers on the recent activity of FCGD. In the weeks since we published our initial report on October 30th, the stock has provided us with a couple of quality swing trade opportunities.

The first came the week before last, as the stock traded in a range from .075-.095, a gain of 26% After pulling back to find support at .07 this past Tuesday, FCGD made another push, reaching as high as .11 on Friday. That added another 57% swing, and brought our cumulative total of possible gains on FCGD over the course of just a couple of weeks to 73%

The good news is, the chart is still looking as if it’s gearing up for the next run, as we pointed out below:

Also, don’t forget, First Columbia is involved in an expanding oil & gas project in Kentucky, and is actually pulling resources from the ground. Their current ten-well program was nearly halfway to completion as of the latest PR update from FCGD, so we’re going to be waiting intently for further information regarding the project.

Another good way to establish a clear picture of the company’s progress and operations would be to listen to the exclusive interview we conducted with FCGD CEO Jason Castenir via our sister site, Stock Traders Talk. >>> CEO INTERVIEW

Solar3D, Inc. SLTD

We also want to make mention of SLTD; the stock came down to a low of .18 on Friday and immediately began to recover ground, so this is one we’ll enter into the log as a possible bottom-bouncer.

Provided it can hold support at or above the current 50DMA at .19, we’ll have it on watch to possibly continue to rebound as we begin a new trading week.

FOLD, ABGB, CADC, NSPH, MSTX, NVEE
