Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Bottom Bounceplay & More

Lucas Energy, Inc. LEI

We’re looking at LEI this morning as a possible bottom bounce play. The stock has been under general consolidation for the past couple of months, and is getting to a point where we want to begin monitoring for a recovery.

A glance at the chart below shows a few indicators ready to go bullish, and a stock that is trading very close to its 52-week lows. As you know, we’re always interested in stocks near their annual low points; the strategy has worked for us on countless occasions.

It appears LEI has a bit of resistance to contend with in the channel between .55 (July support level) and the 50DMA of .57, but beyond that, there isn’t a whole lot in the way of this thing testing previous highs in the .65-.70 range.

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR – Options Update

Our continual coverage of the PBR options chain has still yet to fail; if you recall, we were speculating on the 08/22 $15.50 and $16 Calls beginning on Friday, with the intent to execute a possible swing trade into this week. A move up that has PBR headed toward annual highs has facilitated quite the opportunity for us.

Those who were following along with our idea could have gotten in those $16’s at a low of .44 on Friday, and as of yesterday’s high of 1.28, the value of those contracts showed an overall  increase of 190% Not bad at all for a span of only three sessions.

We also observed some abnormally high volume in the January $19 Calls as they traded over 48K contracts. We’ll want to radar these Calls as well.

For another potential short-term play, we’ll also have an eye on the $16.50 and $17.00 Weekly Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MCPI, DRL, KNDI & More

Med-Cannabis Pharma, Inc. MCPI

First up this morning is an update on MCPI, which has been a juggernaut over the past week, beginning on August 4th at a price of .355. We’ve tracked the stock every step of the way, and yesterday, were pleased to see it break over a dollar.

At the high of 1.14, we were looking at an overall increase of 221% over the span of only seven sessions. Those who may have just picked up on MCPI following yesterday morning’s report, still had the opportunity to score some quick intraday gains as the stock ran 42% over its daily range from .80-1.14.

Anytime we see such rapid gains over so short a period, it starts to feel like the time to take at least a portion of our profits off of the table. However, unsustainable increases often lead to dip-and-rip scenarios as we’ve already seen from MCPI, so we aren’t done tracking it by any means.

Doral Financial Corp. DRL

Another recent successful call is DRL, which we first took notice of back on June 9th, at which time the stock traded at a low of 3.53. More recently, we re-tagged DRL on the 23rd of July, at a price of 5.23.

No matter where you mark our starting point from, yesterday’s move to a high of 7.47 represented chances for significant gains. From the 07/23 alert, it marked a solid move of 43%, and  from our earlier 06/09 call, an overall increase of 112%

Kandi Technologies, Inc. KNDI Options

We’ve had KNDI in our reports and on our radars quite a bit this year. We’ve watched recently as the stock has consolidated over the past couple of sessions, and yesterday’s pullback to 17.03 seemed a bit exaggerated. The stock appears to be a gapper this morning, currently trading up in the high 17.50’s.

Should a reversal occur we’re going to have interest in the options chain, specifically the 09/20 $17.50 Calls. As usual, we’ll adjust our strategy accordingly as the overall trend becomes clear.

Side Note:

We want to radar NII Holdings, Inc. NIHD this morning as well, a stock that was recently hammered back to 52-week lows. We’ll monitor for the eventual bottom and any bounce opportunities that may present themselves.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: WAVX, APP, HEMP & Extended Watchlist

Wave Systems Corp. WAVX

WAVX hits our radar this morning as a fresh news play that is currently gapping up in pre-market trading. It will be worth putting this one on our radar in the event that the stock continues to run. The news is regarding a collaboration between WAVX, and Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:MU).

BOISE, Idaho and LEE, Mass., April 15, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Micron Technology, Inc. (MU), a global leader in advanced semiconductor systems, and Wave Systems Corp. (WAVX), a leading provider of endpoint security, today announced they are expanding their relationship to develop solutions designed to strengthen user protection against current and emerging threats to compute and embedded platforms. >> FULL PR

American Apparel, Inc. APP

Now is the time of year when we begin speculating on the positioning of APP; our coverage of this stock goes back to 2011. Traditionally this stock performs well heading into the heavy retail season which lasts from summer through the holidays.

The stock has recently come down to a relative low just below the fifty-cent mark, and has a gap on the chart (as you can see below) to .58.

As is usually the case when we bring this play into the conversation, this is more of a long-term watchlist item that we like to continuously monitor for opportunities over extended periods of time.

Hemp, Inc. HEMP

On the heels of its announcement of record-setting revenues, HEMP made a significant move after we featured it in yesterday’s morning report.

After opening up at .085, the stock rapidly shot up roughly 18% to a dime, before running into resistance. We’d like to see the stock hold support at or above the .075 range to keep things interesting.
