Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Potential Bottom-Play, HMCP Update & More

GAIN Capital Holdings, Inc. GCAP

GCAP began to get hammered on the heels of yesterday’s announcement by the Swiss National Bank that it would move interest rates caused some volatility in the Swiss franc.

The stock is still getting crushed in the premarket today despite the fact that the move by the Swiss does not materially affect the company, as stated in a commentary released by BCAP yesterday afternoon. >>> READ PR

Currently it has been beaten down to the 6.50-area; its lowest levels since October, so what we’re going to want to do is monitor this play for an eventual bottom-bounce. This is exactly the type of knee-jerk pullback we like to catch, as the recovery can often be extremely profitable for quick-witted traders.

Heritage Media Corp. HMCP

We first brought HMCP to our readers’ attention on New Year’s Eve, and discussed it most recently last Thursday. With such a low float, HMCP is susceptible to rapid movement on relatively little buying/selling pressure, and in the intervening time between those two reports, we witnessed a series of heavy swings in the stock cumulatively totaling 200%

We pointed out that the patterns were making a bullish flag formation on the chart, and it did turn out to be a prelude to further gains. On Monday we observed a low of .003, and yesterday the stock registered a new high for us at .0077, which adds another 156% swing to the already impressive moves we had witnessed previously.

Indicators are still looking ripe as illustrated on the following snapshot, so HMCP will be something that we keep a close eye on into next week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Momentum Mover & More

True 2 Beauty, Inc. TRTB

TRTB is a momentum play that caught our attention when it began to break out during yesterday’s session. The characteristics of this high-flyer have us on alert for the possibility of continued upward movement, and a subsequent dip-and-rip situation. The stock has a low float, and as we know, that type of structure can give way to surges in buying pressure such as those that are fed by heavy momentum.

This stock virtually exploded yesterday, so it’s going to be very interesting to see how trading action resumes today. With such rapid movement, it wouldn’t be surprising to see significant bounce opportunities once it pulls back from these monstrous initial gains and begins to rebound.

Side Note: TRTB was actually tied to another stock that has appeared in our reports, APDN. Last month the two companies announced a collaboration agreement to develop a DNA-based authentication solution (Read Joint PR)  A quick tag search for APDN on our blog shows that we began tracking this stock years ago, going all the way back to the summer of 2012 when the stock was trading below .10. The company just completed an uplisting to the NASDAQ, and is currently trading in the 2.70-range.

Direxion Daily Jr Gld Mnrs Bull 3X ETF (JNUG)

We’ve been continuously tracking JNUG for several weeks now; on Tuesday, after tagging the play in our extended watchlist, we witnessed a 15% increase from 5.29-6.09.

Yesterday brought forth a consolidation to a morning low of 4.83, and a subsequent intraday snap-back to 5.80 (+20%) and then continued to consolidate into the close, and this morning it appears to be gapping up above the $5-mark.

We’ll be keeping a close eye on JNUG moving forward; despite the dollar being at 5-year highs, supply and demand still play a large role in gold price action, and from October-January with the Indian Celebration of Diwali and Chinese New Year coming up, demand for gold will be pushed to high levels.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: RSH Update & More

Radio Shack Corp. RSH

RSH has made regular appearances in our reports over the past couple of months, starting in the beginning of August, when we caught the stock off of its 52-week low of .55.

Following a major run-up to the 1.60-range on August 29th, the stock has been under a general consolidation amid bankruptcy rumors. This week, the company was hinting at possible refinancing deal that would allow them to avoid that situation for the time being, and this morning, that deal was confirmed.

As a result, the stock is up significantly today, having traded as high 1.65 in the premarket. We’re going to want to see support hold at previous resistance points at 1.15 and 1.30. Already, at today’s early highs, we’re seeing more than a 100% increase off of the lows we observed following our most recent RSH alert (.80)

Rockwell Medical, Inc. RMTI

RMTI is another morning gapper that we’re going to place on watch today. With the stock coming off of a recent bottom, it’s going to be interesting to see how today’s development affects its price action.

The company put out a hefty PR this morning regarding a commercialization/distribution deal with Baxter Healthcare (BAX):

WIXOM, Mich., Oct. 3, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rockwell Medical, Inc. (RMTI), a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company targeting end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) with innovative products and services for the treatment of iron replacement, secondary hyperparathyroidism and hemodialysis, announced today that it has signed an exclusive agreement with Baxter Healthcare Corporation, a subsidiary of Baxter International Inc. (BAX), to commercialize Rockwell’s hemodialysis concentrate product line in the U.S. and in select overseas markets.>> VIEW PR

BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. BCRX

BCRX appeared on Wednesday in our extended watchlist, and what has followed has been two fruitful sessions in a row. From a low of 9.89 on Wednesday, we witnessed as the stock bulled its way into yesterday’s close, reaching a daily high of 11.49, a solid 16% overnight increase.

Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. INO

Speaking of pharma plays, INO, a stock that has appeared several times in our reports recently, is also making moves concurrently with the present concern over the Ebola virus outbreak. The company actually has a Ebola vaccine with which they’ve reported success in treating animals with the deadly virus. Anything to do with Ebola is getting a lot of attention at present, and INO is no exception.

Side Note:

Jobs numbers were out this morning, to a positive reception. We will subsequently be looking for dip-and-rip opportunities with regard to options trading. Friday is characteristically a day when premiums start to come down as a result of time decay, with expirations looming. We’re looking at potential opportunities trading Calls in plays like SPY, AA, ISRG, & GPRO.
