Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Big Day for Cannabis Stocks & More

April 20th is here, and it marks a symbolic day for the legal cannabis sector. Our regular readers know that we’ve been following this relatively new market space since its inception. Public opinion on marijuana reform has shifted drastically over the past few years, and the signs are everywhere.Mainstream media has long since jumped on the pot bandwagon, airing numerous specials on the subject, like CNN with Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s “Weed” series, the third installment of which aired last night.

It is also likely that the cannabis issue will be thrust even further into the spotlight as it has the potential to take a significant role in the 2016 presidential elections.

We’ll be sure to follow along as we’ve been doing, all the while keeping our eyes open for potential plays in the space. We’ve got a couple popping up on the radar this morning.

ENDEXX Corp. EDXC

We’re taking notice of EDXC, whose recently acquired business has been presenting at the High Times Cannabis Cup in Denver which was in full swing over the weekend, and runs through the end of today.

The stock is coming off of a recent bottom and has been holding above its 50DMA since the end of March when the company’s acquisition of CBD Health Solutions was announced.

We’ll have this one on watch as the chart and the company’s activities both seem to have potential.

CAVE CREEK, AZ–(Marketwired – Apr 20, 2015) – Endexx Corporation’s (OTC PINK: EDXC) newly acquired subsidiary CBD Health Solutions LLC., has a booth in tent S4 at the annual Cannabis Cup in Denver, CO, through April 20th. Early reports are showing excellent reviews of the sample products and sales have been generated. The CBD Health Solutions’ team has been canvassing multiple markets over the past 90 days and sales contracts are growing on a weekly basis. >> FULL PR

FutureWorld Corp. FWDG

FWDG is another cannabis-related play that caught our eye this morning.

The company released a PR announcing an upcoming share dividend (Link below); since it isn’t uncommon to see stocks make a run into dividend dates, we’re going to monitor FWDG in the time between now and April 30th.

Chartwise, we’d like to see the stock get back above the 50DMA (.004). There’s a gap to the downside between .0024-.0028, so the possibility that it come come down to fill that gap before we see a rebound is certainly possible.

Easton Pharmaceuticals, Inc. EAPHEAPH is a play that we’ve been familiar with in the past; we’ve witnessed it produce huge gains on multiple occasions including a massive 1848% run from .0041-.0799 back in January-February 2014.

Then again from December ’14 to January of this year, the stock ran big in a range from .006-.0353, yielding potential gains in the neighborhood of 485%

The company released some very exciting news this morning pertaining to the purchase of a recreational marijuana facility in Colorado, so we’ll want to keep a close eye on this play as well into the foreseeable future.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Big News for KRFT & More

Kraft (KRFT) to Merge With Heinz
–
In a move that will effectively create the third-biggest food company on the North American continent, it has been announced that Kraft Foods Group Inc. (KRFT) and H.J. Heinz Co. will merge. 3G Capital and Berkshire Hathaway, which bought Heinz for $23B and took it private back in 2013, will be orchestrating the deal.

As a result of this development, KRFT is gapping up monstrously in the premarket to the tune of more than 30% Generally when we see a stock soar on news like this, our first instinct is to continually scan for a dip-and-rip scenario once the session commences. When the rip does occur, we’re going to be looking to April $75-85 Calls for intraday options trading possibilities.

Kraft Foods, H.J. Heinz to Merge (Wed 8:18AM EDT)

Social Media Sector on Watch

Despite uncertainly over whether interest rates will be raised this year causing a general downturn in the markets, social media stocks appeared to be an exception yesterday.

We’re always looking for trends to exploit for options trading, and should Facebook, Inc. FB, Twitter, Inc. TWTR, and LinkedIn Corp. LNKD continue their hot hand this week, we could see some nice action in the following contracts:

FB Weekly $84-86 Calls
TWTR Weekly $50-52 Calls
LNKD Weekly $260-265 Calls

Vascular Biogenics, Inc. VBLT

VBLT is another gapper this morning that has surged in the premarket following the company Q4 earnings release. The stock briefly spiked to its 50DMA of 8.65 in early trading, and appears as if it will open in the 6.50’s.

We will look to see VBLT re-break the $7-mark once the session kicks off, as there is a large gap on the chart as we point out below, the filling of which would make for some highly notable gains. It’s definitely a stock we want to keep on our radar as we cruise through mid-week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ISR, Bottom Plays & More

IsoRay, Inc. ISR

We first began tracking ISR back in early October as a potential bottom play, and just a few sessions subsequent to our first mention, we would witness a low of 1.22 (10/16).

It took just a couple of weeks for us to ride ISR to a 66% gain as it ran to a high of 2.03 at the end of October. It consolidated down from that level, and for the past month or so the stock has been trading channel between 1.50-1.70.

ISR is catching our attention once again this morning, as we picked up on a new update over the press wire regarding the company’s Cesium-131 low-dose radiation therapy for brain cancer sufferers (Learn More About Cesium-131).

The Barrow Neurological Institute conducted studies with 27 patients with several variations of brain cancer, and the company is reporting that there was no recurrence of the disease on the treated sites in 26 out of the 27 candidates, where other treatments had failed. >> Read PR

We’re going to be interested to see how the stock picks up trading following the holiday week, especially with such an encouraging piece of news out in the premarket. So far, the ISR has gone as high as 2.08 in preliminary trading this morning. We could be looking at a dip-and-scenario once the session commences; to remain interested we’ll want to see support hold at a minimum of 1.89 as that would mark a 50% retrace from the current premarket range.

Potential Bottom Plays

AEterna Zentaris, Inc. AEZS absolutely fell off a cliff back in early November, following FDA denial of a New Drug Application AEZS had submitted. The stock has spent the intervening time bottoming out, and it is now trading at all-time lows. This is exactly the sort of situation that sends us into “vulture-mode”, where we’re on the lookout for any signs of recovery after a stock has been hammered down.

Frontline, Ltd. FRO is a stock that is in the process of coming off of a recent bottom, and is showing signs of life here in today’s premarket, currently trading in the mid-1.30’s.
