Blue Horseshoe Stocks: BLDV Recap & More

Blue Diamond Ventures, Inc. BLDV

After being discussed in our daily live trader’s chat on Thursday, BLDV went on a run from .0005-.0017, as we were mentioning in Friday’s morning report.

With another solid session to follow, BLDV became the second multi-day cannabis-related runner yielded by our chatroom in as many weeks (INMG being the other). The stock traded in a healthy range from .0016 to .0029, for an 81% intraday pop, which came with a massive surge in volume in the neighborhood of 9X the monthly average.

Those who did happen to catch the low following the chatroom alert on Thursday would have had the chance at carving out a large slice of a two-day swing that amounted to a whopping 480% That’s precisely why we’ve been routinely encouraging readers of our daily reports to get involved with our daily live chats.

NanoSensors, Inc. NNSR

An honorable mention from Friday’s report was NNSR, which we had tagged in our extended watchlist. The stock made an appreciable intraday move from a low of .00695 to a high of a penny. That was good for a 44% pop, although the stock failed to maintain at least half of its gains into the close.

Still, we’ll continue to monitor this play as we kick off a new trading week, as it has the type of volatility that could easily facilitate another bullish push.


NoHo, Inc. DRNK

Continuing along, with the recent trend of super-subpenny movers, we’re taking a flier on DRNK which was showing an increase in volume last week on the heels of key announcement to hit press wires.

The pickup in activity seems to have been tied primarily to the announcement of a national sales and distribution agreement with BNG Enterprises, Inc. out of Tempe, Arizona (www.bngprodx.com). The agreement provides BNG the exclusive rights to sell the NOHO 2oz Shot throughout its nationwide retail stores as well as online sales through Amazon®.

Assuming that this super-subpenny will break into the subpenny range or higher like some of the similarly-priced stocks we’ve been tracking in recent weeks would be only speculation at this point. But we’ve seen enough triple-zero plays break out in such a short period, that we’ll definitely want to keep a close eye out for more opportunities like that, and DNRK could easily be the next one to go for a big ride.


International Business Machines Corp. IBM

We took notice of the IBM chart this morning, and would like to signal a set of extended-term options contracts for observation based on our perception of the stock. From a purely technical standpoint, IBM looks like it could have slighlty further to fall before making a convincing reversal, but indicators also suggest the stock is heavily oversold, so that change could happen at any time.

The stock showed a slight inclination to come up off of its lows last week, and there is also a pretty sizable gap to the upside to roughly the $170 area. We’re going to place the IBM 06/16 $165 Calls on watch as a result, and if IBM can make a move to return to $170 by the expiration date, these contracts could be in line for a double or even triple-bag move.

FRESH IDEA: Hasbro, Inc. HAS

On the heels of an impressive earnings beat this morning, we’re going to be shifting our options-trading focus to Hasbro, and the HAS Weekly $88-92 Calls.


OTHER UPDATES

Cerulean Pharmaceuticals, Inc. CERU -Another item of interest for us on Friday was CERU, which we noted, based on a number of factors, seemed primed for a breakout at any time. As it turned out, that time was immediately upon the opening bell, as CERU shot up quickly from a low of 1.11 up to 1.68, for a 51% rip.

CERU did consolidate into the close at 1.30, but with Friday’s major spike in volatility, and the sheer immensity of the volume that came pouring into the stock on the order of 39X the 3-month average, we’ll be sure to continue to track its movements as we kick off a new trading week.
______

Sugarmade, Inc. SGMD – Rounding off Friday’s solid performers was SGMD. This was a first-time mention for us, and it made a pretty good first impression with a notable intraday push.

The stock rose from a low of .11 and ran as high as .1494, marking a move of 36% It also signaled the fourth consecutive session that the stock has recorded higher highs and higher lows. Between that, and a strong close with which SGMD maintained more than half of its daily advance, and we’re very interested to keep following this particular play.

The Start of Green Rush 2.0?

A couple of years ago, when marijuana stocks first began to emerge, and the march toward legalization in many places began, we termed it a ‘Green Rush’. It was a historical few months of exponential gains for anything even remotely tied to the cannabis space.

We’ve never stopped monitoring the sector, which, compared to practically any other, is still in its infancy. Recently, we’ve been reminding our readers to keep a keen eye as well, for if all things remain equal, it’s likely that California will become a recreational marijuana state in just a few week’s time. California is the most populous state in the country, and the proposed bill is more comprehensive than anything we’ve seen in the other states where prohibition laws have been scrapped. The ripple effect from the world’s sixth largest economy legalizing marijuana and its by-products will be significant indeed.

In fact, the effect of the anticipation is already kicking the tires on what could very well be Green Rush 2.0. Out of the top 14 traded stocks on yesterday’s scanner (pictured below) all but one have some link to the pot sector. Every last one of them are stocks that we’ve talked about in the past, and all of them (and more) will be high up on our working watchlist over the next several weeks.

We warned our readers of the first Green Rush before it kicked into full swing back in 2014, and we’ve been doing our best to do the same thing in advance of the forthcoming California vote on Prop 64, which should ultimately prove to be a real game-changer.

The symbols pictured above will also serve as today’s Extended Watchlist, in addition to FLDM, a declining stock that we want to put on bottom watch.
